Officially founded in 2002, Storz & Bickel has remained the industry leader in Vaporizer manufacturing for nearly the last ten years. Based on the simple premise of quality and efficiency, Storz & Bickel has been producing the Volcano Vaporizer for many years now with amazing success. This German based company uses only the highest quality parts and each unit is guaranteed to last a considerable amount of time. They remain the only Vaporizer manufacturer to employ a certified quality management system that ensures the high quality of their production process. Each of their operation procedures are systematically inspected and evaluated every 3 – 6 months by an independent testing institute to maximize efficiency. In April of 2010, Storz & Bickel announced that the Volcano Digital Vaporizer would have an extended warranty – 3 years. This warranty is complimentary and is considered retroactive for all Digital Volcano’s purchased in the past. The 3 year warranty now matches the same warranty that comes with the Classic Version.

The Volcano Vaporizers utilize a forced-air system, which is simply a fan that propels hot air over your herbs. By heating the herbs at a specific vaporizing temperature, only the desired essential compounds are released from the substance. This process avoids all the negative effects associated with combustion like tar and other toxic by-products. Furthermore, combustion temperatures cause the herbs to lose the majority of their essential compounds without any real effect. When compared to smoking, the Volcano Vaporizer has been proven to be 4 times more effective and efficient. The patented balloon system allows the vapor to be collected inside a bag and enjoyed at your leisure. It also employs an advanced temperature control system that allows the user to adjust the specific temperature accordingly. The Volcano Vaporizer is able to properly vaporizer a large variety of herbs and aromatherapy blends like Eucalyptus, Hops, Chamomile, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Sage, and Thyme.

Over the last 8 years, Volcano has built a strong reputation as the most advanced Vaporizer Company in the world today. They have literally set the standard for all forced-air vaporizers. The Volcano Vaporizer also offers two different valve systems for the customer to enjoy. The Easy Valve System represents the newer technology developed by Volcano. This patented design allows the user to easily enjoy the vapor through a simple-to-use system that utilizes a mouthpiece. The Starter Set comes with 5 Easy Valve Balloons and an herb filling chamber to place your favorite aromatherapy blends. On the other hand, The Solid Valve System represents the older technology from Storz & Bickel. Although this version is more difficult to use, it still has its advantages. The Solid Valve System allows the user to create ANY size balloon or bag. It requires some patience and practice, but the Solid Valve Set is perfect for people looking for a less-expensive option for the long-term.

Storz and Bickel currently carries two versions of their infamous Volcano Vaporizer. This includes the Classic and Digital version. The Classic version utilizes a simple knob to control the temperature. The digital version, however, utilizes an advanced LED display that accurately displays the vaporizing temperature. The user can adjust the temperature between a range of 104 degrees to 446 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the heating temperatures never rise above 446 degrees Fahrenheit, there is no need to worry about toxic substances being emitted into your lungs. The balloon bags do not contain any softeners and the material is 100% food safe and heat proof.
