What is the Volcano vaHporizer? 

The Volcano Classic – Onyx Edition is a timeless desktop vaporizer and uses pure convection and a powerful air pump to fill Easy Valve balloons with clean, cool vapor. The analog dial lets you set temperatures from 130–230 °C (266–446 °F), and the sturdy build is made in Germany for long-term reliability.

The Volcano vaporizer is a pioneer. This high quality desktop vaporizer started its career in 1996. Now 20 years later tens of thousands of Volcano have been sold, and it is the most iconic vaporizer on the market.

The Volcano is manufactured by Storz & Bickel in Germany and performs for years maintenance free. It comes with a 3 year warranty.

Is the Volcano vaporizer safe? 

The Volcano Classic has a foolproof, fully electromechanical design that uses food-safe and heat-resistant materials. It is made in Germany.

The Volcano Classic vaporizer releases flavours and active ingredients from dry herbs through vaporization by hot air. Optimal treatment of the active ingredients reduces the development of harmful substances and odours to a minimum. This means that even non-smokers find the vaporizer enjoyable.

Are Volcano vaporizers healthy?

A further advantage of the Volcano is the exploitation of active ingredients, being 3-4 times greater when compared with smoking. This aspect makes the investment in the device pay for itself in the shortest time possible.

Who will like the Volcano Classic?

If you are looking for the most advanced, highest quality, easy to use and efficient vaporizer for at home, then the Volcano vaporizer is the perfect choice for you. You will get one of the best vaporizer experiences available.

How does the Volcano vaporizer work?

The unique patented Volcano System technology conveys air enriched with flavours and active ingredients into a balloon through a valve.

The generated vapours will be completely collected in the balloon. After the filling, the valve balloon can be separated and completely detached from the device. The valve mouthpiece closes automatically when you do not suck and the content can be inhaled at ease.

The vapour-filled balloon stays fresh for up to 8 hours.

 

How to use Volcano Classic – Onyx Edition

Quick start guide for smooth, consistent balloon sessions.

1. Prep

   Grind your herb medium and insert the normal screen in the filling chamber.

2. Load

   Lightly fill the chamber (or use the liquid pad for oils/concentrates) and close it.

3. Set temperature

   Turn the analog dial to your target setting (typical range 5–7). Switch the heater on.

4. Heat up

   Wait a few minutes until the control light cycles. Attach a balloon to the chamber.

5. Fill & inhale

   Press AIR to fill the balloon. Detach it, add the mouthpiece, and inhale gently.

6. After your session

   Switch heat and AIR off. Let it cool, empty the chamber, and brush out residue.

How to clean

Let the unit cool, then empty and brush the filling chamber after each session. Soak metal parts like screens and the liquid pad in isopropyl alcohol, rinse, and dry; replace air filters and balloon bags periodically. Wipe the housing with a dry cloth and avoid liquids inside the device.

Can I use herbs or liquid/concentrates?

Yes. Volcano Classic is designed for dry herb and also works with liquids or concentrates when you use the stainless-steel liquid pad in the filling chamber. Load a small amount onto the pad, start at lower temps, and increase as needed. Always keep the cap and chamber clean for best flavor.

Which Volcano vaporizer is the best?

The Volcano Digit was an in-between solution from Volcano Classic to Volcano Hybrid. The Volcano Digit is not produced anymore and was replaced by the Hybrid. We often get asked what the differences are between Volcano Classic vs Volcano Hybrid.

To summarize it: the vapour quality is the same for both devices. Both the Classic and the Hybrid perform equally brilliantly in cloud density and flavour production. The vapour produced by both devices is still smooth, clean, cool, visibly dense and flavourful. With the Hybrid you have a bigger temperature range, a LED Display and you can attach a tube system with it.

Please read our Volcano comparison for more on this.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Volcano, Storz & Bickel released a special 24 carat gold-plated version. Functionally identical to the Classic, but with a head-turning gold finish!

Difference between Volcano Classic and Onyx Edition

The Onyx Edition is the Volcano Classic with a premium matte-black powder-coat finish that’s more scratch-resistant and visually discreet. Hardware, temperature range, airflow, and performance are the same as the standard Classic.

Is Volcano Hybrid better than Classic?

“Better” depends on what you value: Hybrid heats much faster (~40 s), adds a tube option and digital controls/app support, and still does balloons. The Classic is simpler (analog dial), balloon-only, and typically more affordable while delivering the same signature flavor and reliability. If you want speed, programmability, and a tube, go Hybrid; if you want a proven balloon workhorse with fewer frills, choose Classic.

Battery life

There’s no battery—the Volcano Classic is mains-powered. As long as it’s plugged in, it’s ready for session after session with consistent performance.

Temperature Setting:

The temperature is set by a rotary dial allowing for fine tune temperature control. The Volcano Classic heats up in 1 to 3 minutes. It features a 100 Watt convection heating source combined with a large aluminium heat exchanger, ensuring a constant temperature during vaporization.

The temperature ranges between 130°C-230°C. Depending on the herbs you vape, the most desirable vaporization level is probably by placing the temperature knob between 6 and 7. The balloon itself will be filled within 30 seconds.

Maintenance, accessories and replacement sets:

Maintenance wise, the Volcano has always been a breeze to (keep) clean. All the components that tend to get dirty can be disassembled and cleaned separately.

For smaller dosages like 0,1 gram you can use the S&B dosing capsules with a filling chamber reducer.

The Easy Valve system has balloons attached to a mouthpiece and can be used easily. If you want to adjust your balloon sizes (i.e. for big parties) you may be interested in the Solid Valve system.

All accessories can be also bought separately and replaced according to your needs and consumption habits. We recommend an additional Wear and Tear set, to keep your Volcano Vaporizer running smoothly.
