I had an old analog I always had set on 6 or so. I'm not sure what the temperature is. But the Volcano you can get stray plant matter in my experience, especially if your screen(s) is/are nearing the end of it's life. You don't get this problem with the Sublimator (you also don't have to worry about screens as much as the one they have is really durable and will last a long time). The vapor makes me cough less too, regardless of plant matter. And it gets me really baked. I think that's a function of the bong effect more than anything else, but you can't really hook up a Volcano to a bong.
