Usage Info
The VOLCANO is turned on by activating the red switch. It is allowed to preheat 3-5 minutes. The material is put into the Filling Chamber and placed on top of the VOLCANO. The Valve Balloon is attached and the green switch is activated. The Balloon fills with vapor in 30 seconds to 1 minute, and once filled, the green switch is pressed again. The Filling Chamber is disconnected from the Valve Balloon and removed from the VOLCANO. The Mouthpiece is attached to the Balloon and the vapor is applied.
You can optimize the amount of vapor released into your Balloon. Pay close attention to the following factors:
- Quality: The concentration of ingredients in the material.
- Quantity: The amount of material in the Filling Chamber.
- Surface Area: The finer the material is ground, the greater the surface area and the more vapor can be released.
- Temperature: The higher the temperature, the more vapor will be released at once.
Use only the optimal vaporization temperature for your material. Be careful with increasing your temperature too much too soon. Excessively high temperature could make your material taste and smell more roasted.
Select your temperature as low as possible to start to avoid over roasting you material. Incrementally turn your setting up or down dependent on your preference. You can easily determine the appropriate temperature setting by observing the vapor generated in your Valve Balloon. The setting is perfect when a fine white mist is seen. If you see vapor which is barely visible, you will know that either the temperature is too low or the material vaporised is exploited. Thick and very dense vapor may be unpleasant to apply.
The VOLCANO ensures that the ingredients of a material are released gently in the Balloon. This allows you to repeat your vaporization with the same material in the Filling Chamber. You can reuse the material in the Filling Chamber several times until all of the flavor and aroma is completely released.
The flavor has little to do with the effect. Flavor inducers such as volatile essential oils vaporize much quicker than other ingredients. The initial flavor vanishes after the first few procedures, but the effect is undiminished. Flavor always depends on what you put in your Vaporizer. The Vaporizer does not influence the flavor in any way.
To avoid filling your Balloon with cold air or water vapor, you can preheat the filling chamber by setting the Filling Chamber on the hot air outlet of your VOLCANO without the Valve Balloon attached. Press the green AIR switch and allow hot air to warm up your material for a few seconds before placing the Valve Balloon on the Filling Chamber. This ensures that the Balloon is completely filled with flavor and aroma from the very beginning.
For the EASY VALVE, simply take the new Balloon out of the box and you are ready to go.
You may also use other heat resistant oven bags. Please do not use any other plastic bags or clingwraps as these materials are not heat safe and may damage your parts. Replace the EASY VALVE Balloon when it becomes dirty (after 100 – 200 uses). Simply discard the old Balloon and replace it with a new one. Replace the Filling Chamber Screens once per year or when they become too dirty. Each VOLCANO Complete Set is furnished with 3 upper and 3 lower Screens.
Technical Info
Each VOLCANO comes with a 3 year manufacturer's warranty.
We use our own unique patented VOLCANO System Technology. This efficient and controlled technology allows you to achieve the best vaporization results. The VOLCANO gently heats material to release flavor and aroma without burning it. The vapors are collected in the Balloon, which allows you to apply the vapors separately from the device. You may apply the vapor comfortably, safely, and independently from the vaporization process.
The VOLCANO Vaporizer has an air pump to create a constant air flow. In combination with the heat exchanger, it sustains a precise air temperature. This allows you the greatest efficiency without compromising taste. The Valve Balloon delivers a simple, reliable, and convenient application. Altogether, the VOLCANO Vaporization System is the highest quality Vaporizer ever built.
Keep your spare parts clean (cleaning and maintenance). This will result in the best performance and cause no unnecessary stress on the machine.
The large LED dual-temp display of the VOLCANO HYBRID immediately and precisely reads the temperature. The VOLCANO HYBRID is accurate to ± 2.7°F (±1.5°C) degrees. The VOLCANO CLASSIC has a temperature accuracy of ± 9°F (±5°C) degrees. The VOLCANO HYBRID also offers a larger temperature range of 104° – 446°F (40° – 230°C) degrees compared to the VOLCANO CLASSIC’S range of 226° – 446°F (130° – 230°C) degrees.
Both VOLCANO units are fully interchangeable with either the SOLID VALVE System or the EASY VALVE System. Each model offers advanced air filtration. The VOLCANO operates very quietly with our enhanced silencer.
Both the VOLCANO HYBRID and VOLCANO CLASSIC have a 3 year manufacturer's warranty.

- Vaporization temperature adjustable between approx. 266° and 446°F (130° and 230°C)
- Temperature accuracy ± 9°F (± 5°C)
- Three Year Manufacturer’s Warranty
- Robust, completely electromechanical design
VOLCANO HYBRID
- Vaporization temperature adjustable between approx. 104° and 446°F (40° and 230°C)
- Temperature accuracy ± 2,7°F (± 1,5°C)
- Three Year Manufacturer’s Warranty

Both VOLCANO types have a shapely, brushed metal cone. We use odor-free materials in our construction that are food safe. The high-performance heating cartridge and a strong air pump can withstand the toughest demands. Integrated are an independent temperature fuse, Air Filter, and silencer. The heating element is made of steel clad ceramic. We use an aluminium heat exchanger to bring the air cleanly and reliably to the desired temperature.

Repair Info
When we receive your VOLCANO we will inspect it to determine whether the malfunction is covered under our 3 Year Warranty for the VOLCANO. If it is a warranty issue, we will repair and return it to you free of charge. (Please refer to Instructions for Use for warranty information.)
For a non-warranty repair, we will notify you of the estimated cost of repair; including parts, labor and shipping.
For a non-warranty repair, we will notify you of the estimated cost of repair; including parts, labor and shipping.
In addition to repairing the malfunctioning part, we clean, test the diagnostics, and replace any other parts that may need service. Our specialized technicians will restore any VOLCANO back to life.
Another problem is physical damage to the machine. Protect your investment! Place the VOLCANO where no one will trip over the cord, always carry it with two hands, and transport it in its original box with Styrofoam inserts in place.
Only Storz & Bickel Company is authorized to carry out repairs to the electrical devices.
