thanks for the replies, I'm glad I asked... gonna try soon and will post a report asap.
In regards the volcano dripping and temperature, the liquid hasn't been a problem for SWIM... well, it was a problem the first time he tried it but that was because he didn't use a liquid filter and the crystals were big chunky ones that were not from extracts, the freebase extracts don't seem to drip as much... but it is something to consider, the newer volcanos come with wire liquid filters that work great, but often SWIM just uses a bed of herbs that have already been vaped... in regards temperature, SWIM's vaped at everything from the 6 dial upwards, all have been fine, very fast vaping, I presume it could go even lower... I dont know if it matters cuz there is a limit to how hot the chamber can get and I think it's ideal anyway.
Something to note as advantage to the volcano is that nasty stuff like lye doesnt vaporise until later, but if you're gonna use a bed of herbs, you should probably trash the herbs afterwards, SWIM had gotten into the habit of saving leftovers and in this case, probably not worth it.
Yeah, the volcano experience with the spice has been great, it's ultra efficient so SWIM's been able to the refine effective dosage right down to the milligram, as an experiment swim ramped up dosage 1mg at a time to see when breakthrough would occur, and to his surprise he didnt notice the cutoff between actually reality and spice reality, SWIM kinda expected it to be a kinda tear from one stage to the next (eh... or something), SWIM didnt even realise the spice had taken over... and although SWIM has not experienced it himself, many friends have noted a qualitative difference between regular and vaped spiced... obviously this is speculative, but one could imagine spice being damaged by heat or simply less waste. I can tell you the first time SWIM smoked spice was in a bong and it was kinda lame, cuz he actually passed out standing up... stupid thing to do, cuz SWIM knew better from trip reports.
I guess the potency question is what SWIM's most concerned about with harmala alkaloids, I'm guessing the effect will be stronger if anything, so SWIM will use the recommended dosages. I wonder what differences there are between vaping the two extracts seperately or together and at what intervals... experiment SWIM thinks. Thanks again guys.
