| How often do you switch your Volcano on and off? I'm wondering whether it's better to leave it on even during a drawn-out session, or if it should be turned off. Is it harder on the heating element to heat up, or to maintain a temperature for a long time? |

| Re: How often do you switch your Volcano on and off? I turn mine off when it's not in use. The main reason being I don't want to risk forgetting that it's on.  |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: How often do you switch your Volcano on and off? I turn it on when I want to use it, but once it's on, I often leave it on until I leave or go to bed. I usually need two or three bags to start, but then I may go an hour or I may go three, and I usually don't know ahead of time, so I just leave it on. Maybe I should have voted for #4, but #3 feels a little more accurate. Some days, or for some part of the day, I feel fine and need no medicating, and the Volcano is off. I don't worry much about it. The base is always cool, and, yeah, you would expect something this pricey and German to be designed not to wear out from being left on. Last edited by Kid Indica; 08-15-2008 at 11:56 AM..

Rep Power: 62 | Re: How often do you switch your Volcano on and off? When I used a Vapor Bros. I'd turn it off after the session was over. It hardly takes any time to warm back up. With my Volc, I leave it on as long as I'm using it, and if I don't plan on having anymore bags, I turn it off. Luckilly it has a timer, so after 1/2 hour it'll shut off on it's own. I figured out that was a good feature when I first bought it and could hardly move after a bag or two! |
