The Volcano Classic is the first salon vaporizer from the famous German manufacturer Storz And Bickel.
The Volcano Classic vaporizer that came out in the year 2000 AD.It is the vaporizer that has gradually evangelized vaporization around the world!
The year "0" of the vaporizer in a way…
You'll vaporize my brother!
Smoking, you'll quit!
Chamomile you will inhale… and your bronchi, you'll protect!
Amen (vapo please)
Before the Volcano, vaporization already existed with vaporizers sometimes effective but often not very precise and especially technically not super evolved!
As for example in year -19 before Volcano with the TILT Vaporizer or even in -7 before Volcano with the Heat Guns vaporizer that operated with the help of a thermal pistol!
It is easier to understand why the Volcano classic vaporizer revolutionized everything by deploying the good word with this message strongly found by German archaeologists in the year 2 after Volcano:
"From wirst mit dem Rauchen aufh-ren, verdammt noch mal!".
This command would mean in old French, according to the experts:
You're going to stop smoking !!!
Today, the Volcano Classic vaporizer is still unstoppable, especially when it comes to wide-use herbal medicine.
Indeed, in the year 18 after Volcano, still no vaporizer can achieve the effectiveness of a Volcano when it comes to effectively and precisely vaporizing all the herbs and plants imaginable!

Volcano Classic convection spray
If there was a convection heating system par excellence, well it would definitely be that of the Volcano!
Indeed, the Volcano vaporizer consists, to simplify, of the central unit (the vaporizer), a bowl and a balloon system with valve.
For starters, the wind tunnel system propels hot air through the top of the Volcano.
At this point, we place the wide and deep bowl so that the warm air passes through the plant matter.
But above the bowl, a bag called "balloon" is connected…
This one will fill with air loaded with the active ingredients and aromas of your favorite plants!
It is indeed a 100% convection heating system because there is no direct contact between the heating element and the plant…
The control is total and the perfectly homogeneous steam trapped in the "balloon" can be released whenever you want!
Plus, because it's easy to disconnect the Volcano bowl, the spray sessions last as long as you want!
You don't have to finish the contents of a plant right away… Let's take our time!
The steam quality of the Volcano Classic
Once the break-in of 30 to 45 minutes, to remove bad odors, is carried out, what to say …
It's just perfect!
The aromatic rendering is stunning.
I usually say that it has "the taste of smell" with a soft steam, fresh and very dense depending on the temperature chosen.
It should be noted that the Volcano has already been used in hospitals such as, for example, in Austria to help patients during heavy treatments.
This is a sure proof of quality and efficiency!
The Volcano has also been tested in the past with Cannabis which it is forbidden in France if you were not yet aware!
The results were stunning because they found in steam only a few molecules contained in cannabis instead of thousands of toxic gases and other poisons.
Another proof that the steam stays clean!
I point out that this is just an example with a comprehensive test that was done with cannabis.
The goal is not to extol its merits… and if the test had been done with verbena, I would have chosen this one!
Hell, we all become debilos in France when we talk about this plant … Should we calm down!!!
Okay, I'm calming down.
In short, the steam of the Volcano Classic is perfect and I don't know what else to tell you about it!
Volcano Classic: The ultimate weapon for herbal medicine!
Full of even portable vaporizers seem more accurate than the Volcano Classic in terms of temperature selection!
So why is The Volcano the best vaporizer for herbal medicine in the broadest sense of the word?
Indeed, we turn a large analog buttons graduated from 1 to 9 (130 to 226 degrees Celsius)…
Temperatures | |
---|---|
1 | 130oC |
2 | 142oC |
3 | 154oC |
4 | 166oC |
5 | 178oC |
6 | 190oC |
7 | 202oC |
8 | 214oC |
9 | 226oC |
However, it must be noted that this is the only vaporizer with which there is no frustration when we scrupulously respect the temperature panels of the chosen plants or herbs!
For example, I'm a mighty fan of the same brand… It's the best portable vaporizer by far!
The spraying panel for green or Roman mint is between 100 and 150 degrees Celsius.
If I want to spray mint with the Mighty, I don't know why, but I'll always be tempted to raise the temperature to at least 180 degrees Celsius…
Whereas with the Volcano, around 130 degrees Celsius or 150 degrees Celsius, I'd be immediately satisfied!
And that's true with all plants or herbs that don't make visible steam!
Strange, I admit…
The advantage of being able to respect the right temperatures is to be able to optimize its sessions by favoring certain molecules without altering them and thus to make the most of the aromas of your plants.
A word of advice!
It's nice to have a different balloon per plant to avoid the mixtures of taste because after a while it can become anything …
Indeed, the steam gradually condenses in the balloon and that's why we have to change them regularly!
Volcano Solid Valve or Easy Valve?
Until 2017, the Volcano Classic was delivered directly with a Starter Kit Solid Valve and the Volcano Digit with a Starter Kit Easy Valve.
But, we had the choice between the two systems of Valve at the same price!
For more than one, change of policy at Storz And Bickel and it's Easy Valve for everyone!
If you want Solid Valve, you'll have to lengthen the sorrel…
But what's the difference?
Solid Valve
s
This balloon system with valve is completely removable and cleansable!
You can buy rolls of 3m bags, cut them out and make balloons the size you want!
Remember that the valve is there to prevent steam from escaping when not using the balloon.
When the mouthpiece is placed on the mouth, the valve opens and the steam contained in the balloon can be sucked in.
Solid Valve, it's "Freedom and Maintenance"
Easy Valve
star
You're a bunch of sluts!
But now the Starter Kit Easy Valve comes with 4 Easy Valve classic and an Easy Valve with adapter.
It's really cool because you can change the ball to the size you want with this adapter!
Kind of like with the Solid Valve!
Obviously you can buy it individually and it's worth only ten euros!
Ergonomics and use of volcano Classic vaporizer
First, the Volcano is very practical and easy to use.
On the other hand, it is an imposing "Tank" that is big, heavy, noisy with its wind tunnel and that takes a not insignificant time to reach the chosen temperature …. I'm not even talking about the time it takes for it to come down in temperature!
So we certainly have the most reliable, powerful and effective vaporizer but in return its heavy ergonomics could put off some.
In addition, the exclusive system of "balloon" is certainly super effective but it is not necessarily suitable for everyone … Especially in the age of the portable vaporizer ever more and more miniature.
Here, before you decide to buy a Volcano Classic, be sure of your priorities and that its ergonomics is well suited to your needs!
Volcano Classic maintenance
The Volcano is a little jewel that you have to pay attention to regularly to keep it at the top!
It's very convenient to clean since all parts are accessible and everything is perfectly explained by Storz and Bickel in a manual in a very clear way with drawings!
To do this, you will need at least 90 degrees alcohol and ideally Iso (isopropylic) alcohol 99.9 degrees.
The idea is to clean it as often as possible, depending on your use, without it becoming a chore!
How the Volcano vaporizer works
The Volcano Classic
– A button to turn on/off
– A knob to regulate the temperature from 1 to 9
– A button to launch the wind tunnel (inflate the balloon)
Easy Valve
– Open the Easy Valve bowl and put vegetable material ideally all over the surface
– Close the Easy Valve bowl
– Place the Easy Valve bowl on top of the Volcano when the temperature is reached
– Open the wind tunnel
– After 1 or 2 seconds, place the Easy Valve balloon without the orange mouthpiece
– once the balloon is filled, grab the whole thing and lay it safe (be careful it's hot)
– Pick up the ball and place the orange mouthpiece
Now you can inhale quietly and do it again as many times as you want!
Solid Valve
The operation is the same in principle but there is no lid for the bowl.
Volcano Classic's pluses | The – of the Volcano Classic | |
---|---|---|
1 | Steam quality | big |
2 | Perfect for herbal medicine | Be a rib-sticker |
3 | Temperature panel | noisy |
4 | 100% convection | Long to heat |
5 | Maintenance | Long to cool |
Summary
The Volcano Classic is the ideal vaporizer for herbal medicine in the broadest sense of the word.
For those who always use the same plant the Volcano will also be at the top but as it has a little heavy ergonomics, it will not be a heresy to prefer a Mighty, or even another super powerful salon vaporizer like the Vapexhale Cloud Evo.
In any case before venturing with a Volcano, make sure that its ergonomics will not get you drunk!!
