Volcano Hybrid FAQs

What is the Volcano Hybrid?

The Volcano Hybrid is a premium desktop vaporizer from Storz & Bickel featuring hybrid convection and conduction heating, precise temperature control and two inhalation options: an EASY VALVE balloon or direct tube.

How does the Volcano Hybrid work?

The Volcano Hybrid heats air and the filling chamber to vaporise dry herbal material, using the high-powered heating approach associated with premium dry herb vaporizers. Vapour can then either be collected in an EASY VALVE balloon or inhaled directly through the supplied Tube Kit.

Does the Volcano Hybrid use convection heating?

Yes. The Volcano Hybrid uses a combination of convection and conduction heating.

What temperature does the Volcano Hybrid reach?

The Volcano Hybrid has a temperature range of 40–230°C (104–446°F).

Does the Volcano Hybrid have precise temperature control?

Yes. The temperature can be adjusted in 1°C increments, allowing precise control over the selected temperature.

How quickly does the Volcano Hybrid heat up?

The Volcano Hybrid reaches approximately 180°C in around 40 seconds. Actual heat-up time varies according to the selected temperature and conditions.

Does the Volcano Hybrid have a digital display?

Yes. The Volcano Hybrid features an integrated digital display with touch-button controls for temperature and operation.

Does the Volcano Hybrid have app connectivity?

Yes. The Volcano Hybrid supports Bluetooth connectivity and can be controlled through the Storz & Bickel Web App, which provides temperature control, customisation options and additional settings.

Can I use the Volcano Hybrid without the app?

Yes. The Hybrid can be operated directly using its integrated touch controls and display. The app is optional.

Does the Volcano Hybrid use a balloon?

Yes. The Hybrid is compatible with the EASY VALVE balloon system and comes with balloons and the required adapter.

Can the Volcano Hybrid be used without a balloon?

Yes. One of the Hybrid's biggest advantages is its Tube Kit, which allows vapour to be inhaled directly rather than first being collected in a balloon.

What is the difference between balloon and tube inhalation?

Balloon inhalation allows the device to fill a detachable balloon, which can then be used independently of the vaporizer. Tube inhalation provides a more direct experience and delivers airflow of up to 30L/min.

Does the Volcano Hybrid have draw resistance?

The EASY VALVE balloon provides virtually no draw resistance. When using the Tube Kit, Storz & Bickel specifies airflow of up to 30L/min.

What is the Volcano Hybrid filling chamber capacity?

The filling chamber has a volume of approximately 6.5cm³, with a capacity of approximately 600mg.

Can the Volcano Hybrid be used with smaller amounts?

Yes. The Hybrid supports a Filling Chamber Reducer, which is designed for smaller amounts and allows the use of dosing capsules.

Can you use dosing capsules with the Volcano Hybrid?

Yes. Dosing capsules can be used with the Volcano Hybrid when combined with the appropriate filling chamber reducer.

Is the Volcano Hybrid suitable for beginners?

Yes. Despite its advanced features, the Hybrid is straightforward to operate. The digital controls make temperature selection simple, while the choice between balloon and tube inhalation allows users to choose their preferred method.

Is the Volcano Hybrid portable?

No. The Volcano Hybrid is designed as a desktop vaporizer and requires mains power. It measures approximately 20 × 18 × 20cm.

Does the Volcano Hybrid have a battery?

No. The Volcano Hybrid is a mains-powered desktop device and does not use a rechargeable battery.

Is the Volcano Hybrid good for long sessions?

Yes. Because it is mains powered, the Hybrid can provide unlimited sessions without needing to recharge a battery. Storz & Bickel specifically describes it as a desktop vaporizer for unlimited sessions.

Can the Volcano Hybrid be used for group sessions?

Yes. The balloon system makes it particularly convenient for shared sessions because vapour can be collected in the balloon and passed around separately from the main device.

Is the Volcano Hybrid easy to clean?

Yes. The filling chamber, screens, mouthpiece and other removable components can be cleaned or replaced. Regular cleaning helps maintain airflow and vapour quality.

• Faster heat-up

• 40–230°C temperature range

• Digital temperature control

Can the Volcano Hybrid be used with concentrates?
