Ladies and gentlemen. Dear Waperki and Dear Waperzy. I think that the tested device does not need any special introduction, but for the formalities to be fulfilled, I invite you to review the iconic stationary vaporizer Volcanofrom Storz & Bickel. Although a lot of time has passed since Volcano's debut in 2000, many vaporization enthusiasts still reach for this model. What made the vaporizer so famous? What distinguishes it from the competition? Is it still noteworthy after nearly twenty years? I will try to answer these and other questions in the review below.

The content may vary depending on the version of the vaporizer you purchased. The version I tested isttps: //vaporshop.pl/pl/vaporizery-stStationne/123-vaporizer-volcano-analog-easy-valve.html ">Volcano Classicin Easy Valve option. So a vaporizer without a digital display, which appeared as a development version in response to signals coming from the market. Regardless of the version, we can count on an extensive set of accessories and gadgets.

In my box there is:

  • VOLCANO CLASSIC ANALOG vaporizer
  • User manual
  • Balon Easy Valve with adapter
  • Four Easy Valve balloons with mouthpieces
  • Filter set
  • Dry chamber Easy Valve
  • 3 latches for the chamber
  • 1 ring for the chamber
  • Grinder
  • Pad for concentrates and waxes
  • Air filter kit
  • Cleaning brush

Experiences

Let's clarify one thing right away, it is thanks to the experience of each session with Volcano that this design has been giving out cards among stationary people for so many years vaporizers available on the market. Each cloud is full of aroma, pleasantly cool and can satisfy even the most skeptical when it comes to vaporization. All this was achieved, among others, thanks to the fully convective method of heating the material and the use of balloons. Vapor obtained in this way has time to cool down additionally and contains much less toxins, thanks to which the taste and density of the clouds are unique. The materials used are also important, as even at the highest temperature applied, they do not affect the taste and smell of vapor. Volcano is a real combination of business and pleasure.


Using the Vaporizer Volcano

And this is another strength of the tested unit. Usage Volcanoit is fast, simple and user-friendly. Cloud density and the number of filled balloons can be easily regulated by the amount and degree of grinding the dried herbs. Generalthe principle is as follows. The finer the ground the dried material, the thicker the clouds, the greater the amount of dryness in the chamber, the more full balloons. A big plusem Volcano is also maintenance and cleaning of individual elements, which is extremely rare. In fact, of the devices I have come across, the Volcano is the one that requires the least amount of maintenance work. Just use a brush and gently sweep the combustion chamber after each use. Most vaporizers have a build-up of build-up on some parts. In the case of Volcano this problem practically does not occur. Each balloon will last 4-6 months depending on use, so the initial package of five balloons should last for several years of normal use. Spare balloons are readily available, so don't worry about spare parts. The only drawback in terms of use is the time needed to preheat the device after a long break. Before filling the balloon for the first time, it is good to give it to the device3-4 minutes for the balloon to warm up properly and fully, and then about 30 seconds for the balloon to fill up. The best solution is to turn on Volcano at the very beginning of the session, and then prepare the balloons, grind the herbs, etc. The vaporizer will "inform" you about reaching the right temperature by turning off the orange light symbolizing the heating element. The device is also equipped with an automatic shutdown system when not in use. The Easy Valve is also a pure pleasure to use. In addition to being easy to connect to a balloon, it is a self-sealing valve, so there is no risk of losing precious vapor. Another simple thing that distinguishes Volcano from competitors' products. Depending on the amount of material with themAt a given balloon we are able to receive about 5 clouds, and on one "furnace" we should be able to fill four balloons. Finally kthe heating ohmmum will hold about 2.5 grams of dried fruit/ p>

Temperature range

The tested model works in the range of 40 to 230 degrees Celsius.Which allows for effective vaporization of herbs. As I mentioned before, the device should warm up properly before inflating the first balloon, which takes about 4 minutes. If we add the time needed to inflate the balloon, then the firstWe are able to enjoy these clouds after about 4 - 4.5 minutes from starting Volcano. Fortunately, such a long heating time awaits us only with the first balloon, each next one is about 30 seconds.


Production quality

The Storz & Bickel company is famous for high-quality devices, which are additionally manufactured in Germany. It is no different in the case off Volcano. Despite the fact that the construction is almost 20 years old, it is still the world's best. All materials are of the highest quality, resistant to high temperatures, which is why they are used, among others, in laboratories and medicine. The Volcano is the world's first vaporizer approved by Canada's stringent health ministry for use with medical marijuana. The build quality is legendary. The daily sight is copies that are over 10 years old and looking like new. A big advantage is the wide, stable base, thanks to which the risk of accidentally dropping the unit on the ground is negligible.

Although the design itself may not be to the taste of every fan of vaporization - there is dBeing clunky and not friendly to the eye, Volcano defends itself perfectly with its reliability. A properly maintained vaporizer will serve you for years without any problems.

Power

Volcanoit does not have its own power supply, which is rather standard in the case of stationary vaporizers. Power is supplied via a 230V cable and socket. In order to save energy, the device will turn itself off after 30 minutes without use.



Discretion

It's hard to consider Volcano in terms of discretion related to the size or shape of the vaporizer. Such a classification can be carried out rather in the case of portable devices. In the case of stationary devices, you should definitely focus more on the issues of the smell that comes out of the vaporizer during the session. The second factor is smoke density. You can definitely feel a bit of smell associated with the vaporization of herbs. However, this is not a level that we would not be able to cover up with another scent (e.g. incense. Pieces of palo santo wood will also work very well). And the smell itself does not linger in the room for a long time. The vapor density is quite high and definitely visible. Overall, the scent is perceptible but quick and easy to remove, and the clouds themselves can attract a little attention.


Summary

If you are looking for a stationary vaporizer, then Volcanoit should be the first entity you notice. It may not be the cheapest device on the market, but considering the performance and quality of workmanship, it would be difficult to make this vaporizer in a more budget version. Anyway, when looking at other Storz & Bickel products, the company has never focused on price, only quality. I can also recommend Volcano to all seekers of great taste and strong action. To sum up - Volcano is an efficient, powerful unit that produces a vapor with an incomparable taste, and its maintenance does not require any special effort. It's also hard not to pay attention to a very extensive set of accessories, through a large number of balloons, to the grinder included in the set. If you have some spare cash to spare, then almost 20 years after its premiere, it is still hard to find an equally efficient, reliable and easy-to-use machine for the production of vapor.
