The EQ is great, but the bags have no mouthpiece (you have to pinch a tube shut and hold it shut, or use a clip or jame osmething in the tube like a pencil eraser), so get a camelback bite valve for them, it goes on the end of the tube and only releases vapor when bit on pinched. I think people pinch it lightly and bring it up to their lips. This is the one, AFAIK:

Use elbow pack method (google or search the sub) to increase vapor production, and for replacement bags use turkey oven food safe bags. Search the sub reddit for the vape name, for more tips :). It's not as easy to load or clean as the Volcano, but it's not tough; the parts you'll be cleaning are glass, so some brushes and isopropyl alcohol are all you need. Extra glass parts (bowls) are easily available and cheap.

Strictly speaking the volcano classic with easy valve will meet your needs best though; it has a great bag and mouthpiece system and is easy to keep clean. You can find them used for $2-400. Extra cartridges for the volcano have to be bought with the bags and are about $100 (easy or solid valve kits), unless you can find them used.

If you feel like it or see one, you can also use a bite valve, like they use for waterpacks, usually can find them in an outdoors/camping shop.

I got this at a local shop, works quite nicely!

If you do most of your vaping at home, I suggest the Extreme Q. Not only can you often find it cheaper on eBay by almost $100, but it conserves bud like none other. My buddy has a Pax, and while I do like it I don't like how you need to pack a full oven to get the full effect (he and I are aware of the screen method, but we often get less vapor from this method).

My go-to for the extreme q is to elbow pack the screen (not in the actual "bowl" of the vape) and set the temperature to around 370 while letting it preheat for about 15 minutes. Long slow draws produce TONS of vapor and I can usually get pretty spaced off even a .1! When I'm vaping with friends and everyone contributes bud, we use the bags and it's really a great time. My suggestion for the bags is buying a CamelBak Bite Valve that is very cheap and is a good way to not let vapor escape. My friends and I can pretty much throw the bag of vapor like a football across the room and it doesn't come off (although I don't suggest that ;))

Get a bite valve from a camelbak so you don't have to hold your finger over the mouthpiece. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0019DCVTA/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?qid=1394495388&sr=8-1

I bought a bite valve. It worked perfectly, no longer have eq unfortunately.
