I could get a good idea if I used my Volcano.I put the test buds with sugar leaves in a small white paper sandwich bag and let it dry for ~4-5 days in a dark cool place. The buds vape pretty good after this procedure and you get an idea how they will taste after a proper drying and curing.

I hardly ever use my Volcano. No matter what temp I use, it all has the same vapy taste to me. What’s your secret?I could get a good idea if I used my Volcano.
I experienced the same phenomenom early in my vaping journey!I hardly ever use my Volcano. No matter what temp I use, it all has the same vapy taste to me. What’s your secret?![]()
I have a small brown paper, unbleached candy bag. I'll use that and vape it once dry. I noticed last night that the bottom most branch got pinched, and will likely die off in a few days. I might as well test out. Unfortunately the heads aren't as cloudy and the bottom few branches hadnt swelled out like the rest of the plant. It won't be the bret test, but will be fun!I put the test buds with sugar leaves in a small white paper sandwich bag and let it dry for ~4-5 days in a dark cool place.

Great feedback and advice. I agree with most that you say, and the temperatures, but it’s the lack of taste, and a lighter high that makes the volcano lower on my choices of inhalation. It’s me because I also avoid vape pens. I agree that the volcano would be a cleaner smoke. variety is the spice of life, and on that note, I’m heading over to a fresh bong hit of mango haze.I experienced the same phenomenom early in my vaping journey!
I've read alot of websites and people recommending to slowely "walk" the temps up between bags while vaping.... I don't find I get the entire flavor profile doing so. Slowely raising the temp each bag will vape only certain terpenes and cannabinoids efficiently, leaving the rest to be vaped at higher temps. Doing so will omit the other compounds which combust or vape at lower temps.
When we smoke, we use a very high temp. This completely destroys the compounds which vape at very low temps. Essentially we never taste them. Intuitively we are much more likely to taste the compounds which have a higher temp when becoming volatile. In addition to this, we taste the actual smoke itself.
I prefer to fill my chamber with less bud, but I use a higher temp to better simulate the flavor I get when smokimg. I have the Volcano Hybrid Onyx Edition. I will set the temp between 380 Fahrenheit and 400 Fahrenheit, with my preffered temp being 389 as a starting bag or 391-393 if the sample isn't properly dried.
This serves to release nearly all of the volatile cannabinoids and flavinoids. As opposed to low twmp vaping which isolates certain compounds but leaves others intact. I don't experience the flavor of smoke, there is none. But the vapor is warmer which is closer to what's experienced than with low temp vaping. We get used to a certain feeling when smoking which we don't necessarily get when vaping.
The high or stone is often different as well. I feel that vapimg produces a cleaner effect. What I mean, is that we dont experience the negative effects of smoke. Examples would be a heavy lung, though thick clouds can HIT, no residual effects from carbon dioxide. This causes the high to be headier, some would say more cerebral. Add to this that certain compounds which affect the body
I have aquired G13HzAc. I Aam so excited to try it out! I hope the forum pics it first for me to try out. Vote and help decode which of my 3 u.released lines I showcase first!I have popped a LOT of beans and these two both have different smells than anything else I have popped before. I look forward to discovering many more though. I went a little crazy buying G13 crosses and am excited to hunt the G13xHaze packs I have. So many beans so little time.
Not yet Diesel, still in Mango test mode now.@Swifty Have you tried vaping your SSH cut on a higher temp? Also, I'm wondering at what percentage of ambers you harvested your SSH cut. I am just noticing ambers staring on my leaning pehono of SSH. I have a different pheno, though that is LOUD. She doesn't even have 90% cloudy and is 0%amber. But she has an incredible terp profile and is strong on the nose. Her buds aren't as nice, but I don't care. She smells incredible!
I vaped this bud today, one bag so far. There wasn't much flavor yet, too much chlorophyll. I felt a head rush and my mood was immediately elevated. I was motivated to rearrange my lung room. Needless to say, I'm happy with this early sample.I noticed last night that the bottom most branch got pinched, and will likely die off in a few days. I might as well test out
Pics please!@Swifty thanks for the input. Most of my remaining SSH are starting to mature. I'll be harvesting some soon. I'm waiting for more fading fan leaves.

While moving around my tent I checked on the light trap... most of the tape sealing it and holding the filter had peeled away. It is causing major light leaks. I found another light leak further up in the tent. No wonder my poor babies were so stressed.
For how bad the light leaks are I'm shocked I didn't have more issues. I taped it back up as best I could but will be making a new light trap next payday.
My first grow, I climbed into my tent and zipped it up. I then proceeded to freak out from my closterphobia. LolThen I smoke or vape some and put a little stool in it and turn on the light of the room itself.
I then sit down on the stool and ask my wife to close the tent like it should.
I close my eyes for a couple of minutes and then open them and hope that everything is pitch black.![]()
I cannot give you a good advise about a quality test smoke. Many moons ago I used to pick up buds early from my grow, put them in the oven... and smoked the crumbly hay! (I recall somebody else on here did this, too.... @High-mish ?!)
I reckon most have tried this. Gotta do what ya gotta do when times are tough!I plead guilty!
