the grinder that came with the volcano did it perfect, it ground it extremely fine, but the grinder itself was plastic and eventually chipped itself into uselessness. the best grinder for volcano is the space case with no keef catcher. just grind through 6-7 revolutions and it ends up almost like powder. as for heat i've been at 379F and that seems to be a good spot for lots of different strains.
the only downside is the bags get worn out, but maybe it's not a downside because i've been heavily using it for 6 years and the mechanics of it have never once faltered. i'll buy a new box of bags about once a year for ~60$.
I actually haven't even considered grinding up for my vaporizer. Now that I'm home I see that it's a Hebe Titan. Lol. $120. It's smooth, no coughing involved, good high for what I can tell.
Now here's a little story about my latest laughing fest. It was the 4th of July and I went down to my parents house in Oregon. My longtime BFF came over, and before long he had 6 hits of acid ready for delivery. So we took 3 each, watched fireworks with my mom and my buddy's old lady and then moved the show to his house. I should point out that my newly appointed weed master step-dad had given us a little more than quarter ounce of Buddha's Delight he grew last year.
So we get to his house, at this point I'm feeling the acid but not really getting visuals, friend his tripping hard. His girl goes to the store and gets us a ton of beer. I've never mixed drugs before, not even alcohol and weed. But soon we're slamming cans and smashing bongs and sucking Js that his lady is rolling. And I'm feeling like a ****ing champ. Sometimes after laughing really hard, I would get so light headed I would feel like I'd just done a whippit.
Little back story, is that me and this dude have been good friends dating back to elementary school, but we lost touch while I was living in Vegas, and recently reconnected. This was just the second time we'd seen each other in years. So much of the conversation was catching up on what we'd missed and reminiscing old times. He used to be a blackjack dealer and poker player, but hasn't done either in years. So I was talking to him about are silly in school gambling. In high school we each would carry dice and a deck of cards and assorted change to gamble with each other and other kids. One thing we would do is go to the upstairs gym and fire dice across the entire basketball court, and we would bet even/odd and such stuff, usually like 10 or 20 cents.
So I asked him what it's like to be so removed from all the gambling. He said he's simply replaced it with drugs. Then he goes on to say of our dice tossing, that it didn't matter because either way you're gonna take a hot shower in the morning. Then he says, "You think you take a hotter shower than me dude?!" Not directed to me, but in general, as a way of saying "you think you're better than me?" And I just lost it. For a long time. Just all the implications of the phrase were too much to bare. I was trying to think of ways to monetize the phrase.
