Volcano Classic Vaporizer

Volcano Digit: As of August 2019, the Digit is no longer available – it is replaced by the new Volcano Hybrid.

Who is the Volcano vaporizer for?

With German engineering, the Volcano Vaporizer is one of the most advanced, high quality, easy to use, efficient desktop vapes on the market. Whether you choose the analog temperature control of the Volcano Classic or the feature-rich Volcano Hybrid vaporizer, you’ll have one of the best vaporizer experiences available. It’s a great choice for both the beginner and enthusiast alike.

Storz & Bickel also offers medically certified versions of the Volcano, called the Volcano Medic. Check it out here.

20th anniversary Volcano Classic gold edition

Happy birthday, Volcano! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Volcano, Storz & Bickel released a special 24 carat gold-plated version that was only produced in 2020. Functionality and vapor quality are identical to the Classic, but with a head-turning gold finish. These are no longer in production, so if you want one, grab it now!

Highly Efficient

The Volcano’s iconic balloon and valve system ensures that no vapor or hot air is lost, and the convection heating system only cooks your herbs while blowing bags. This combined with an enormous aluminum heat exchanger makes the Volcano vaporizer one of the most efficient vaporizers in the world.

Average heat up time 

The Volcano heats up in about three minutes. Its 100 Watt convection heating source combined with a large aluminum heat exchanger ensures a constant temperature during vaporization.

Medical grade construction

With over 12 years of research and development and extensive safety testing, the Volcano Vaporizer earns the distinction of being a medical grade device dry herb vaporizer.

Easy to use

Even with all the technical advancements, amazing efficiency and years of research, Storz & Bickel went out of their way to make sure the Volcano Vaporizer is simple to use and nearly error proof. Its precise temperature settings make it impossible to combust your herbs. The Volcano Classic comes without a shutoff timer, and can stay on all day long for extended use.

Classic vs Hybrid: Display, accuracy & features

There are some big differences between the Volcano Classic and the Volcano Hybrid.

Volcano Classic
Employing an analog design, the Volcano Classic features simple yet precise temperature control with a range of 266° F – 446° F. The Volcano Classic delivers some of the most accurate temperatures to your herbs with an accuracy of ± 5° C / 9° F. The Classic does not display the temperature on its analog dial and instead displays numbers 1-9, with a chart in the box to show what temperatures the numbers correspond to.

Volcano Hybrid
The Volcano Hybrid has digital controls with a wider temperature range (104° F – 446° F), blows bags and has a direct draw whip. It also has a full suite of controls through the Bluetooth app (available on Android, with a workaround for iPhone users). The Hybrid delivers slightly more accurate temperature to your herbs with an accuracy of ± 1.5° Celsius / 2.7° Fahrenheit (compared to ± 5° C / 9° F for the Classic). The LED displays the current temperature as well as the set temperature.

Easy valve set included

The Volcano Vaporizer comes with the Easy Valve Starter Set, which includes:
– 4 Volcano Easy Valve Balloons
– 1 Volcano Balloon with adapter
– 1 Easy Valve Filling Chamber for dry herbs
– 3 Filling Chamber Clips
– 1 Cap Ring
– 1 Normal Screen set
– 1 Cleaning Brush

What about the solid valve?

Storz & Bickel updated the Easy Valve System, making it superior to the Solid Valve in pretty much every way. The Solid Valve set is no longer offered as an option when you buy a Volcano, but can be purchased separately.

The Storz & Bickel difference

Made in Germany, all Storz & Bickel vaporizers are built without any glass components, for maximum durability and an exceptional vaping experience. Whether you’re vaporizing at home, or with a portable vaporizer like the Crafty+ or Mighty vaporizer, vapor production is top notch. Temperature settings are controlled and reliable, with very little temperature drift, and the dosing capsules tie the entire lineup together. The Volcano vape only needs a Filling Chamber Reducer to micro-dose with the dosing capsules.
