Storz & Bickel Volcano Review
Looking at the headline on this review by Gizmodo of the Storz & Bickel Volcano, the first thing I thought of was the taglines of advertisements I used to hear on the radio for local-area water pipe shops: "and remember, water pipes are for tobacco use only, dude." Of course they are. Just like the Volcano, an herb vaporizer, is for making your living room smell sweet.
Actually, if you are the sort of person who likes to burn herbs, the Volcano sounds pretty sweet for its $539 (!!!) retail price: it uses its precision German engineered Heating element to heat up the herbs to a level just below combustion, somehow giving you both more bang for the buck and no carcinogens in the vapor. The result is sweet sensation with (presumably) less health effects than just lighting the herbs on fire. I guess if you're going to be really serious about a habit, you might as well do it right, right?

Straight out of Tuttlingen, the world`s vibrant center of medical technology and high-class vaporizers, comes good news for every fan of serious vaporizing: Storz & Bickel presents two brand new products that make vaporizing with the VOLCANO even more convenient and technically advanced.
First, there is the VOLCANO DIGIT, introduced by popular demand: With its electronic control system, it provides even more temperature accuracy (± 1.5°C) than the VOLCANO CLASSIC. From the extra large LED display, the user can read off both set and actual temperature that is adjustable between 40° and 230°C (104° and 446°F). Other advantageous features are °Celsius and °Fahrenheit unit changeover and automatic switch-off. Without a doubt, this is the new cutting edge of vaporizing technology – don`t miss it @ http://www.storz-bickel.com !
Our second product innovation is the EASY VALVE, a revolutionary low-cost product solution that provides maximum ease of operation and flexibility: It is not necessary any longer to clean the valve parts or to change the balloon after each use, you just attach a new EASY VALVE that consists of both a balloon and a mouthpiece, ready-made for immediate use. This makes the EASY VALVE particularly convenient for several users sharing one VOLCANO unit, for example at hospitals or in the framework of scientific studies. Only the new and optimized EASY VALVE filling chamber has to be cleaned and reused. At low costs, everyone can have his own valve balloon now – a big advantage in terms of hygiene and practicability. The EASY VALVE can be used with all the VOLCANO models produced so far.
With the new VOLCANO DIGIT and EASY VALVE, Storz & Bickel continues its course of innovation, adding two more technical highlights to its product line.
