There are lower cost, knock off versions of the Volcano. One that comes to mind is the Phantom. In the end, the knock offs give you the same vapor in a bag, they're just made of aluminium instead of stainless, and their blowers aren't as powerful so it take longer to fill the bags. They usually run around $250 or so, still not cheap.
Portable vapes may be a good way for you to go, something powered by butane like an Iolite maybe? You'd be able to take that with you and do a few hits in the car right before any chemo treatments too.
You know there's nothing but positive vibes coming at you from this direction. Keep that great positive attitude.
Thanks Melvan, Cubby, Ozzy- I really appreciate it and thanks for the advice on the vape. I bought a cheap one off ebay once that had a ceramic heating element but i could never get that nasty taste to go away. but that was really cheap, too. I guess i just need to make sure it actually works well if i do purchase anything so I will use it. if I don't like the way it hits or something
I may spend 250 and it will sit on a shelf, which i can't afford to do. Has to be able to do oil and dry herb, too, I may start having everything ran to oil here soon, just to try and get the most combinations of terpenes, thc, cbd and cbn, etc., in the batch of oil that i can. I am thinking that the more varied plant material going in is, the more medically beneficial the end product out will be.
by the way, I almost fell over when I saw those new pics. Nice, mel, holy crap you are going to have some good meds to enjoy this spring!!!
