Volcano classic versus volcano hybrid coughing fits

I’ve had a volcano classic for quite a while. I recently got the hybrid and I cant for the life of me get a good hit off of it. Every time it just makes me cough and cough. I never had this issue with the classic. I have always been a light hitter. Switch 2 380. Classic volcano 4.5 350. I’ve tied using the profiles from the storz and bickel app and Project Onix.

Anyone has any pointers to get this thing to work better I would be forever in your debt.

I’ve been doing low temp bags with the chamber reducer. 356, 365, 375. Very little coughing if any. Usually only the last bag.

Yeah I’ve tried the chamber reducer. I’ve tried it with a dosing capsule. I’ve also tried it with a regular bowl. It has been 2 days of trying different things I broke down and smoked a joint after not combusting for 2 months. No cough from the joint. Lol All different temperatures from 320 to 380 after 360 is where the coughing really starts. Different strains nothing seems to matter. I even tried a different volcano hybrid.

I definitely cough at 380 and above. I’ve been doing the low temp bags in the morning with my coffee to prepare my lungs for the ball vape hits around the corner, and all day.

The first vape of the day can be a cougher, so I’ll do some low temp bags, or just cover the screen on a ball vape for starters. Venty makes me cough at the end of a bowl.

Or maybe I just have a cold :joy:

The Vapor is denser than the classic volcano at every temp. You may need to go lower than you’re used to

Have you tried running it thru a bubbler/bong ?

I am waiting on the whip attachment it should have been here Monday… USPS sucks

I use the whip through a bubbler or bong depending on my mood. I also bought the adapter to use the bag with a bubbler/bong. I like that a lot too.

If you have a bong, just blow your bag like normal and press the mouthpiece up to the intake and hit it. The bag seals when you release it. Easiest bag to bong hits ever.

I was looking at this I found another one that was like $150 with glycerin in it but this one was fairly reasonable. Amazon.com

I, too use the obsidian bubbler whenever I blow bags and it makes the vapor sooo much smoother due to the humidity it provides. It’s a must have IMO for people who find the 'cano to be harsh.

Don’t buy the one I posted from Amazon it doesn’t come with the o-ring to make the seal to the filling chamber and it leaked water into my volcano from the bubbling which I had next to no water in it.

i think the volcano bubblers are trash. the glass gets super hot, moisture inside the bag makes the bags smelly funnier, faster (shorter bag life)

volcano hybrid extracts faster and hits harder than classic. the added conduction makes the vapor more potent. I find the hybrid vapor less harsh and smoother, but i’m the same way with ball vapes. Heavier hits don’t make me cough as much as lighter hits.

My wife and I had a similar experience with the Volcano Hybrid initially. Here’s what ultimately worked for us:

  1. Download the Storz & Bickel APK for Android.
  2. Edit an existing workflow or create a new one based on @stickstones 's profile.

This works with a full pack or a dosing capsule.

  1. Push this through ANY bubbler or bong using the Volcano Glass Adapter and the POTV glass adapter.
  2. Profit.

Have you checked out project onyx?

It has a bunch of presets that you can adjust I saved the one that you suggested I will make one with this other app. I really like it.

I use the flower chamber from my 20 year old classic on my hybrid

You have to hold it as it does not mount on the hybrid exhaust vent (trying to get a Boro adapter made by a glass maker)

The vapor is different from the hybrid filling chamber

Lower the temp as recommended above and consider a cooling element like a bong/water pipe

I use the whip attached to an adapter into a water pipe, very simple and effective set up

So I’ve tried everyone’s above mentioned situations. So far what I found is to crank up the heat a little bit I was at 360 now I’m 400-420 but I use the dosing capsules with the dosing capsule attachment I also don’t put it on the device until it is hot and then I run for 3 seconds and then stick the bag on. Essence I am running it more like the classic and not using the conduction hybrid feature to heat up the chamber. Sometimes I use the water pipe adapter. But it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
