Volcano Classic Canada
The Volcano Classic is arguably the best of its kind. This workhorse unit stands the test of time, as German manufacturers Storz and Bickel build these units to last. Many users still have the same Volcano classic they purchased in the early 2000s when the unit first came out. That is the ultimate test of the quality and longevity of this desktop vaporizer.
With a 100 Watt Convection Heating system, analog temperature control, and amazing weed vaping efficiency, it’s no wonder why its design has withstood the test of time.
Powerful Convection Heating
The Volcano Classic’s temperature ranges from 130° – 230° C / 266° – 446° F which you’ll control on the temperature dial.
This unit uses three LED lights to indicate heat, control, and air. The red button/ light on the left powers up the unit and starts heating. The orange/ yellow button indicates the unit is working when on and turns off when it’s ready to go. The green button on the right turns on the fan and lets you vape away. The fan can be on the noisy side. The unit takes three whole minutes to heat up, which is a bit long, but the wait time is worth it. The vapor quality satisfies even the harshest critics.
How to use the Volcano Classic Vaporizer?
Unlike the Volcano Hybrid, the Volcano Classic Desktop Vaporizer uses a super easy three-button setup that you will control with your hands. These are the heat dial, the heat button, and the air pump button. Once you turn the vape on, set your heat dial and press heat, and then after a few minutes, you can place your balloon onto the chamber and press the air button to fill it in just seconds.
If the 0.5g chamber size is intimidating, you’ll also be able to use the Volcano Classic Chamber Reducer to bring it down to 0.25g and be more compatible with a dosing capsule.
Easy Valve Kit
With an Easy Valve Starter Kit, you’ll get mouthpiece and bag kits that are meant for disposal and are replaceable when it’s time to do so. You will know when it’s time for that because there will be a noticeable stench. The easy valve kit gets its name because replacing and disposing of the parts is much easier. Fewer components make up the easy valve kit, making it more accessible and easier to understand for newbies compared to older models. The Volcano can fit up to 4 grams of dry herbs and uses high-grade quality, and thick plastic like you’ll find with Storz and Bickel’s portable vaporizers.
Efficient Bowl Extraction
With a large and wide chamber, the hot air that passes through your chamber will leave little waste because of the even heat distribution. Because the valve is airtight when filling balloons, the air will pass right into the balloon. If saving money on your weed while still getting notable hits is important, consider the Classic as your next cannabis accessory upgrade! With a large and spacious aluminum heating chamber that can fit up to one gram, you’ll be able to fill several balloons full of excellent vapor quality.
Especially when compared to smoking joints, the Volcano Classic’s convection heating system will only blow hot air through the chamber when you have the fan on, meaning the efficiency is incredible.
High-Quality German Engineering
Storz and Bickel’s vaporizer is hand-assembled in their factory in Tuttlingen, Germany. Every device is tested before shipping out, and with their 20 years of excellent track record, you can rest assured that you’re getting a high-quality product!
They stand behind their warranties, and you’ll have a two year warranty, extendable to three upon registration on their website. If something happens outside of that timeframe, you’ll also be able to ship your Volcano Vaporizer to them for repair.
Choose between Classic Silver or Matte Onyx
On our page, you’ll be able to choose between the classic shiny silver or the new matte black onyx design. Either way, you can be sure that this piece of tech will look good on any connoisseurs shelf!

Feedback from an Expert
Because this is a desktop vaporizer, it’s definitely aimed at experienced vaporizer enthusiasts, and not a newbie looking to toke a few vape hits here and there. The fan can get a bit noisy, it’s obviously not portable, and it does take three full minutes to heat up. The price tag is a also a bit steep for this unit, which can turn people off. Looking past these drawbacks, this is the quintessential desktop vaporizer behind the Hybrid.
Who should buy the Volcano Classic?
If you’re looking for the next step up in quality, you might be interested in the Volcano Hybrid Vaporizer. The large convection heating element has helped the Volcano be a best seller for the past 20 years for a reason – because it gets people super high and happy! Newbies and experienced vape lovers will love the taste and robustness of the thick clouds and the feeling you get from the Volcano.
If you’re looking for a similar design with slightly better performance, you might also be interested in the Volcano Hybrid Vaporizer.
Volcano Classic vs Volcano Hybrid
With the upgrade to the Volcano Hybrid, you’ll have access to a digital touch screen and smartphone app, access to both a hookah whip and balloon bags, as well as precision temperature control and a 90 second heat-up time. However, the downside is that it costs a few hundred dollars more!

Henry L. How to spot fake Volcano Classic Vape? |
|
Answer:
It can be difficult, but the top chamber section may be different. The heating element will be completely different, often the cable is slightly different than usual and the bags may be of worse quality. |

Kenneth Luis What temperature should a volcano vaporizer be at? |
|
Answer:
The Volcano Classic can be adjust with the temperature dial and we recommend setting 7-8 to start and see how you like it from there! |
|
Bill Jacobs How to clean Volcano vaporizer properly? |
|
Answer:
The bags of the Volcano cannot be cleaned, however the herb chamber can be cleaned easily using the included brush to clean the screens of the chamber. If it gets too clogged, soak it in isopropyl alcohol. |

Dave Stanley How to use Volcano vaporizer best? |

The Volcano Classic manual will help you with any questions you have. We recommend filling the chamber entirely with ground herb for the best results. |

I’ve fallen in love with this vaping machine <3

The Volcano Classic vape is a game-changer! Solid build, easy temperature control, and flavorful vapor. It’s really something.
This vape is builded like a tank! The stainless steel construction make it extra durabil. It won’t break easily, so you can rely on it for a long time.
The temperature control is simple to use, and it heat up fast for quicke hits. The vaper is so smooth and tasty, you won’t even know what hit you.
You won’t be dissapointed!

Works incredibly well. Only downside is initial heat up time, so I like to turn it on as soon as I get home to all I have to do is put the chamber on whenever. Balloons are amazing.

Reliable balloons since my upgrade from the Extreme Q

Picked this up for a great price from the guys at Tool420. Am loving the balloon setups and how easy it is to use. We are medicinal users, so didn’t need one of the portable ones.

COST TO REPAIR Now Up to $450 CAD !!! — unaffordable shipping cost to Germany, $63 ONE way; plus VAT tax; plus labour charge; plus parts; plus return shipping fee.
Items must now be repaired in Germany, no longer at the California repair centre which was expensive to ship to but doable and worth it.
A Volcano Vaporizer can fit in a 10x10x10 inch box, weighing exactly 4.5 pounds.
The shipping charge for just one way is $63 to over $200 — for ONE WAY. I don’t know how much Storz & Bickel in Germany charge to send the item back.
It is a slap in the face to Canadian customers — when your machine breaks down, you have a very expensive doorstop.
Every country S&B sells machines in should have repair centre to make repairs affordable; also, it is disgustingly environmentally bad to send a device on an airplane halfway across the world when it needs fixing.
Lastly, S&B has REFUSED to answer any of my emails asking about this problem that makes their units unaffordable to repair.
My last repair cost about $80 with $40 shipping both ways to California: $160. A repair job, though, can be as high as a few hundred dollars so sending my machine to Germany would cost between $250 to $450 — and you don’t know the labour/parts/VAT cost until you mail it to Germany!
S&B’s machines are far superior to the competition. It really sucks that they are unaffordable, now, to repair. It really sucks even more that my expensive machine is now a worthless piece of junk.

Should have bought this first instead of the two other smaller vaporizers. Simple, easy, mellow. Thanks for helping me make the decision and purchase this unit.

A++++ shipping speed. Free gift was nice too and this is my first weed vape. Some other thoughts…
Pros: amazing vapor, tastes really good, super smooth, will get you really really high, fits a lot of weed in the chamber
Cons: quite big, has to be plugged into wall, expensive, only uses the bags.
Overall it’s a really really good weed vape and reddit tells me the volcano vaporizer should last like 10 years so I think it’s a worthwhile investment.

Wish there was a way to inhale from a whip with the Volcano Classic since sometimes bags aren’t so convenient. Really fun to use with group sessions though and we made a volcano bag from a turkey bag and made a giant balloon like 6 ft long. Got us super baked too off just one bowl. Works rly well

Im rly baked in this review off some girl scout cookies and im just in love with it all haha. So fun to watch the balloons fill with vapor too.

I’m a medical cannabis patient and my insurance helped to pay for this device. It’s definitely a godsend and my inflammatory problems are helped massive from it! It works just as good as day 1 and cleaning isn’t too hard at all. Perfect device, it’s quite big and loud but does the trick!
Karl Raphael –
I had my Volcano Classic for 8 years before I sold it to a friend and bought a brand new one here! I absolutely love it and use it almost every day for dealing with pain in my back. It works so well and the vapor is so smooth and gentle. I’ve hardly smoked weed over these last years because I only use this. Definitely worth it!
