I am a huge fan of the Dynavap and use it as my go to through a bong but I’ve recently I’ve been looking at possibly upgrading to an S&B Volcano however obviously a bit hesitant due to the price tag.
Anyone able to give any insight into the Volcano from a Dynavap fan’s POV to help decide if it’s worth it or not?
Cheers!

Anyone seen the xmax v3 pro with the glass mouthpiece and 14mm bong adapter? Removable 18650 battery and dosing caps as well. With a globe perc it seems to be a fairly decent convection vape.
You’re better off getting a proper ball vape for your bong. I have the v3 but it only gets used outdoors since the dosing capsules r super convenient. At home I’ll never consider grabbing it tho.
Skip the volcano and get a ball vape.
Vapefiend have a flowerpot b-0 back in stock for a reasonable price, and it will perform better than the volcano by pretty much every metric and is way better value for money.
If you decide to go down the portable route, the Tinymight 2 will ship next week and is revered for being a heavy hitter…
Edit: here‘s a link. Search r/vaporents for flowerpot and b-zero and you can read plenty before purchasing.

This the fella? Definitely going to have a look into it! Thank you
That’s the one, mate. I’d consider it a no brainer if you’re already into glass.
The only thing that might put you off is the exposed coil/heating element, but as a vapcap guy I’m sure that won’t worry you too much!
Definitely want to keep the glass so this looks like it might be the best option!
Ah yep, burnt myself enough times to be careful now lol
Is the flowerpot easy to share with friends? That's my primary volcano use, the WIP or passing bags around.
Admittedly, I reckon not as easily as the volcano can be, especially with the bags.
You could attach a whip to the glass you’re running the flowerpot through for a more social setup.
I went from dynavap to mighty and I love the mighty
As others have said here go the flowerpot route. I had to make the same choice recently and had a budget of £375. Got the essentials bundle and never looked back.
I've used all three models of volcano and its by far my favourite bag vape but I prefer vaping through glass.
If you are wanting a good budget vape the arizer eq was my daily driver for a solid 6 months before I got my flowerpot.
I have a vrod head with mine but tempted to get one of the new ball style heads.
Would you advise a dynavap btw? I have serious VAS and want an excuse to buy one.
Thank you very much for the advice!
Would 100% recommend getting a Dynavap to everyone tbh, even just to have in the arsenal when you start to run low because it’s the most effective vape that I have tried so far.
My current set up is:
2021 M Strong-Arm glass adapter Simrell FMJ Chefs torch lighter Chongz Widowmaker
I've used many vaporisers as my consumption has increased and decreased, I've got a mixture of butane vaporisers, dynavap, stickybrick, vapman, I've used mighty, arizer solo 2' xlux roffu, healthy rips range, I tend to gravitate back towards the dynavap and solo 2 indoors, outdoors I use my roffu as it's more pocketable and doesn't look like a crack pipe.
Have both, love both.
Hell of a Jump to go from a Dyna to a Volcano.
If your looking for a sturdier unit for use at home Arizer have several options substantially cheaper.
If your wanting to up the game a little in general Pax3 is a solid little vape, S&B also have crafty/mighty.
I’ve been looking at the Arizer but read mixed reviews and figured it’s best to “go big or go home”.
I do have a PAX 3 that I use out and about but to be honest I find it so, so disappointing compared to the Dynavap that I only use it when I need to.
Is a Volcano worth paying more for over getting a Mighty?
I've only had the pleasure of a volcano when in the Dam but as you would expect the quality is amazing.
A good friend has used his Arizer tower for 4 years now with no complaints other than a broken glassware (his fault)
All being said if you have the funds S&B all the way
Apple's and oranges sort of. If you never ever need to vape out of the house, I'd recommend the volcano. If you need something that hits hard at home and on the go and can only afford one premium device then I would say the mighty.
As a happy arizer user (my unit's 10 yrs old now) I personally wouldn't shell out for a volcano, though I don't really like bags and prefer whips. I mainly use the short glass whip - think it's supposed to be used to fill bags, but find it offers really good suction so get much better clouds than the long whip. All glass pathway means it tastes great. Have used the mighty quite a bit but the quality of vapor isn't as good imo; also got a dynavap but don't use it that much. Heard good things about the flowerpot etc
I would strongly suggest against a Volcano if you’re a fan of bong vapes. Get yourself a ball vape (flowerpot or Qaroma shop ones) and you’ll never look back. Haven’t touched my dyna since.
Just been looking at these. Fuck.

This is good advice. I have a Volcano and a Flower Pot. The Volcano gets used on special occasions. I find the bag to be very loud if your trying to chill. The Flower Pot is immediate and like a massive Dynavap, it gets every day use.
I use a smart plug with it so I can flick it on whilst I’m on my way home from work. It’s always perfect temp by the time I get in.
