They are basically the same. I have heard the volcano attys are better. On the super minis you might want to consider cartos. I use 306 cartos on my blu and they are awesome.
Thank you, this helped to reinforce that I made the right decision in the pursuit to begin vapein'. It is also great to hear that Rush has used the product! My Father will love this as an avid Rush fan and maybe i can get him on the band wagon, although he has smoked for 30 some years.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
I've never tried Blu, my first vaping purchase was the Magma kit from Volcano. All I can say is that it has yet to disappoint me.
Never hurts to try. There are lots of long time heavy smokers on ecf that have kicked the habit(well traded it for another lol).
Between the two, I think you made the right choice. I have heard good things about the Inferno model from Volcano too.
As a self professed Volcanoite, when I did my initial research Volcano stood out to me because of their personality, Customer Service, Warranty, community (forums). Price wasn't a huge deal though volcano was a little cheaper, but the CS was top notch and that swayed me. Having been a Customer for a while, I don't regret my purchase from Volcano, and appreciate the Magma. If you're just starting, I would recommend the Magma or Inferno. Both have their pluses, but defintely leaning in the Volcano side; welcome to the smoking revolution

I 2nd that. It's rare that I'm truly pleased by a company but Volcano has never let me down. They have dependable products and one of, if not the best warranty in the business i.e. a 1 year warranty on their parts. Most other places give you a 14 day warranty, if that. Unless someone has a brand name phobia, there's zero reason not to do business with them.
The owner at Volcano actually flew in from Hawaii to Colorado for our vaping meet, they gave all kinds of door prizes and my husband won an Inferno Kit, it is great. I actually just ordered some atty's from them for my eGo and inferno (they use the same ones).
Volcano. It's what Rush Limbaugh uses.
Hmmm... I wonder if that gets him in trouble with his Big Tobacco buddies.
I started off with Volcano well over a year ago and I still have working units from my original set. They do have a great products, cs, and their shipping is great. At the point when I started all there was there was the volcano, no magma or inferno, but both types of attys are 510 adaptable, and a 306 drip tip works on the volcano atty as well.
Volcano and Blu are the exact same thing, with ONE small difference. The atties from blu and volcano are THE SAME. The BATTERIES, however, are not. The difference is that the new volcano batteries are much less sensitive and much less prone to going off from wind and whatnot. You can actually even blow into them, and they won't set off. At least this is how the batteries I and my girlfriend purchased from them are. Blu, on the other hand, has batteries that will go off if you look at them wrong sometimes. Also, volcano's bulk discounts are nice(they're not that great though). But you probably would be better off with a 510. While I love my blu/volcano, I just don't think it's worth the price it costs when you can get something better for the same amount of money. What you're really paying for is the branding. I can get packs of 5 510 batteries for $25, which comes out to just $5 a piece. The cheapest you'll get an L88B(that's the name of the model that volcano, blu, and revolver elite are) battery for is like $8.99 unless you order from china, in which case you'll pay thru the nose for shipping anyway. So you'd have to order an ... ton of them to make up for the shipping costs, and what are you gonna do with like 100 generic L88b batteries? I hope you enjoy your volcano at least as much as I do. A lot of people say it's crap. I totally disagree with that, but I still don't think it's really worth what it costs. It should cost maybe about half what it does.
Also, blu gives you 2 atties with their kits, volcano only gives you one. But volcano has better, less sensitive batteries, and their PCC has a flashlight, a battery indicator LCD screen so you know how much power is left in it, and it shuts off automatically when it's done charging. the blu, on the other hand, has no such indicator, no flashlight, and will continue to discharge and recharge your battery until the PCC is completely drained if you don't remove the battery from the charging slot when it's done(which is sort of difficult to tell since the light never just stays off completely).

So i just got in the volcano and took my first few vapes ever! The flavor I started with was the standard tobacco and I have to say after burning off the factory remains on the atomizer i was extremely impressed! The throat hit is far above my expectations and the vape volume is GREAT! I honestly do not see why i would ever go back to smoking analogs ever again! I am so glad that i joined in the newish vapeing jump off and doubt i will ever need to smoke an analog ever again! I can't Wait to show my brothers in the fraternity because virtually all of them smoke and i think this finally might stop the terrible oder that is always lingering in out house!
Thank you to everyone on ECF for affirming my decision to begin vapeing!
