Peace Edition: With Love… For Peace

Planet of the Vapes is proud to feature Storz & Bickel’s newest initiative: the Volcano Classic Peace Edition.

The challenges brought on by a global pandemic and recent political conflicts have taken a toll on people around the planet. In a world riddled with tension and division, moments of solidarity and peace are needed, now more than ever. 

The deep desire for a world brimming with love and harmony has inspired the creation of the Volcano Classic Peace Edition: A symbol of mindfulness, tranquility, peace, and love. Its cone is powder-coated in matte white to personify unity and is engraved with their campaign “with Love for Peace”.

These special edition Volcano Classics are limited to just 1000, each of which includes a special number engraving.

And with this initiative, Storz & Bickel is donating 100€ for each Volcano produced to support those affected by the war in Ukraine.

20th anniversary Volcano Classic gold edition

Happy birthday, Volcano! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Volcano, Storz & Bickel released a special 24-carat gold-plated version that was only produced in 2020. Functionality and vapor quality were identical to the Classic, but with a head-turning gold finish. This finish is no longer in production.

Medical grade construction

With over 12 years of research and development and extensive safety testing, the Volcano Vaporizer earns the distinction of being a medical-grade device dry herb vaporizer.

Highly Efficient

The Volcano's iconic balloon and valve system ensures that no vapor or hot air is lost, and the convection heating system only cooks your herbs while blowing bags. This combined with an enormous aluminum heat exchanger makes the Volcano vaporizer one of the most efficient vaporizers in the world.

Easy to use

Even with all the technical advancements, amazing efficiency and years of research, Storz & Bickel went out of their way to make sure the Volcano Vaporizer is simple to use and nearly error proof. Its precise temperature settings make it impossible to combust your herbs. The Volcano Classic comes without a shutoff timer, and can stay on all day long for extended use.

Average heat up time 

The Volcano heats up in about three minutes. Its 100 Watt convection heating source combined with a large aluminum heat exchanger ensures a constant temperature during vaporization.

Classic vs Hybrid: Display, accuracy & features

There are some big differences between the Volcano Classic and the Volcano Hybrid.

Volcano Classic
Employing an analog design, the Volcano Classic features simple yet precise temperature control with a range of 266° F - 446° F. The Volcano Classic delivers some of the most accurate temperatures to your herbs with an accuracy of ± 5° C / 9° F. The Classic does not display the temperature on its analog dial and instead displays numbers 1-9, with a chart in the box to show what temperatures the numbers correspond to.

Volcano Hybrid
The Volcano Hybrid has digital controls with a wider temperature range (104° F - 446° F), blows bags, and has a direct draw whip. It also has a full suite of controls through the Bluetooth app (available on Android, with a workaround for iPhone users). The Hybrid delivers a slightly more accurate temperature to your herbs with an accuracy of ± 1.5° Celsius / 2.7° Fahrenheit (compared to ± 5° C / 9° F for the Classic). The LED displays the current temperature as well as the set temperature.

Easy valve set included.
What about the solid valve?

The Volcano Vaporizer comes with the Easy Valve Starter Set, which includes:

• 4 Volcano Easy Valve Balloons
• 1 Volcano Balloon with adapter
• 1 Easy Valve Filling Chamber for dry herbs
• 3 Filling Chamber Clips
• 1 Cap Ring
• 1 Normal Screen set
• 1 Cleaning Brush

Storz & Bickel updated the Easy Valve System, making it superior to the Solid Valve in pretty much every way. The Solid Valve set is no longer offered as an option when you buy a Volcano, but can be purchased separately.

The Storz & Bickel difference

Made in Germany, all Storz & Bickel vaporizers are built without any glass components, for maximum durability and an exceptional vaping experience. Whether you’re vaporizing at home, or with a portable vaporizer like the Crafty+ or Mighty vaporizer, vapor production is top notch. Temperature settings are controlled and reliable, with very little temperature drift, and the dosing capsules tie the entire lineup together. The Volcano vape only needs a Filling Chamber Reducer to micro-dose with the dosing capsules.

Disclaimer: Storz & Bickel vaporizers no longer include a steel mesh pad for dry concentrates.
