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. With full convection heating and full desktop power, the Volcano Classic is a true showstopper with world-class vapor production.
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 beginners and enthusiasts, with top-notch vapor quality in every draw.
Storz & Bickel also offers medically certified versions of the Volcano, called the Volcano Medic. Check it out here.
New Edition: Onyx variant
The Volcano Classic has received an updated, matte black finish for a clean, sophisticated take on the legendary Volcano vaporizer. This new look comes with a scratch-resistant, high-quality powder coating that’s more resistant to smudges than previous models.
Highly efficient
The Volcano’s iconic balloon and valve system ensures 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 constructed with high-quality materials.
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 was 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. Vapor production is very similar, but their setups differ significantly.
Volcano Classic
Employing an analog design, the Volcano Classic features simple yet precise temperature control with a range of 266° F – 446° F and full convection heating. 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 but instead displays numbers 1-9, with a chart in the box to show what temperatures the numbers correspond to.
Volcano Hybrid
The new Volcano Hybrid has digital temperature control with a wider temperature range (104° F – 446° F), blows bags, and has a direct draw whip, plus hybrid conduction and convection heating. It also has a full suite of controls through the Bluetooth app (available on Android, with a workaround for iPhone users). The Hybrid delivers a 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

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.

Twenty years later, the Volcano vape is a legendary desktop vaporizer. The Volcano has a reputation for excellent performance every time you fire it up, without any fuss or setup. It’s easy to load and assemble, fills bags quickly, and makes tasty vapor quality that is always cool and comfortable to draw, thanks to the bag system and full convection heating. It’s also versatile enough to go through a full bowl in three or four bags at once, or just blow up enough for one super flavorful hit, and save the rest for later.
