Volcano Vaporizer Classic

Volcano Vaporizers, the Volcano Classic and the Volcano Digit, score consistently well in vaporizer trials and reviews; hardly surprising given that they are designed and continue to be produced by a German engineering company. Storz & Bickel have invested thousands in vaporizer research and technology and their products, which are assembled by hand, conform to the demands of the medical profession.

In very basic terms, Volcano vaporizers work by using a diaphragm pump to move air through an aluminum heating block at a constant rate, eliminating fluctuations in flow; resulting in the most accurate temperature control of all vaporizers on the market.

It’s not just build quality that makes the Volcano so popular though; they are also extremely easy to use.

The Volcano Classic has been designed and built using flavorless, food safe materials and its patented balloon system gives remarkable mobility and freedom of use. Once filled with vapor, the balloon can be detached from the heating block and used anywhere.

Ideal vaporizing temperature depends on a number of variables, the most important of which is your choice of herb. However, the Volcano provides you with accurate heat control via a dial calibrated from 1 to 10, and the manual that comes with the vaporizer explains the temperature settings. However, most users seem to get the best result with the dial set between 6 and 7. The filling chamber holds around four to five grams of finely ground herb and consumer tests suggest that 3 grams is just about the right amount to use and should give the ‘average’ user a full day’s supply.

When it comes to looks, the Volcano’s conical brushed metal design is iconic in the world of vaporizers. In fact, everything about the Volcano Classic is impressive: it looks expensive, it’s easy and economical in use, it’s robustly constructed to medical standards – and it comes with a three year guarantee.
