The volcano vaporizer is a cone shaped vaporizer with a set of controls at the base to heat the materials containing active ingredients in herbs or other plants to a level just before combustion.

It can be used to vaporize the essential oils in aromatherapy, to inhale the pure ingredients of other herbs for medicinal or pleasure purposes, and in preparing foods to add flavoring and enhance their aroma. It also offers a safer alternative to smoking and can help stop the habit.

The vaporizer system uses a balloon shaped, heat-resistant oven bag to collect the vapor and a heating chamber where the herbs and oils are warmed. The oven bags are convenient, safe for food, and do not add any taste to the vaporized plant matter.

They are readily available for purchase at many stores. The materials are heated using a temperature control and the resulting vapor is dispelled into the bag where it can be either inhaled or dispersed into the air.

Because the surface of the bag is large, the vapor cools quickly and can be inhaled immediately. The volcano vaporizer is hand crafted in Germany by Storz & Bickel, and precisely engineered to give you the most efficient method of vaporizing plant substances with the least amount of harm to your lungs. This vaporizer is designed so the plant material will not burn. Although this type of vaporizer is higher priced than many models, it offers the highest value for the price.

There are several models of volcano vaporizers available, and they vary by the type of temperature control and its accuracy. The range of temperature also varies by model, and can range from 104 degrees Fahrenheit to 446 degrees. The correct temperature is reached when the plant material turns to a fine, white mist. The volcano vaporizer is easy to use, and utilizes a convection heating system where hot air passes over the herbs and turns them to vapor. The noise level of vaporizer is lower in the more expensive models, although most offer an advanced air filtration system.

The length of warranty ranges from 2 to 3 years from date of purchase on most models. The manufacturer, Storz & Bickel, stands behind their warranty. If the product is defective, they will repair the vaporizer, but if the problem was caused by misuse then they will first send a cost estimate to repair the product and if agreed, they will repair the product for you. Replacement volcano vaporizer parts are also available for the volcano vaporizer if they become damaged during use.

The only maintenance required on the volcano vaporizer is approximately once a year the air filters and chamber screens should be changed, depending on the frequency of its use. The vapor balloon should be changed after every 100 to 150 uses, and the valve set should also be cleaned with rubbing alcohol or replaced, depending on the type of valve, at the same time. The volcano vaporizer filling chamber also requires cleaning to remove any build up of materials.
