Vapormatic vs. Volcano Vaporizer
The Volcano Vaporizer has long been regarded as the finest herbal vaporizer that money can buy. While expensive, its extremely high quality and efficiency maintained its position at the top. In recent years, the Vapormatic, built in the US, has challenged the supremacy of the Volcano, offering extra features at just over half the price. How do the two compare?

Should I Buy a Volcano Vaporizer or a Vapormatic Vaporizer?
Overall, it seems that the Vapormatic is a good competitor of the Volcano Vaporizer on every front. However, it is not that simple: The Vapormatic has been dogged with reliability issues, such as leaking seals, and fluctuating temperatures. In addition, this comparison does not take into account the Volcano Digital Vaporizer that, although a little more expensive, has digital temperature control. In addition, the promise of a lifetime warranty may be questionable.
