Volcano Classic Onyx Vaporizer – Storz & Bickel's Iconic Desktop Vape · Balloon System · Convection Heating

The Volcano Classic Onyx Vaporizer by Storz & Bickel is the gold standard in desktop vaping—renowned for its German engineering, pure convection heating, and signature balloon system that delivers smooth, flavorful vapor every time.

Still burning your herbs instead of vaporizing them?

If you're still lighting up, you're not just wasting material—you're missing out on flavor, efficiency, and control. Combustion destroys terpenes, irritates your lungs, and leaves behind ash and odor. There’s a cleaner, smarter way to enjoy your herbs.

What’s the cost of settling for less?

Every session with a basic vaporizer or joint means inconsistent hits, wasted product, and compromised taste. Cheap devices overheat, break down, or deliver harsh vapor that feels like a compromise. After a while, it’s not just about money—it’s about frustration. You deserve a device that works as hard as you do, one that turns every gram into pure, potent vapor without the guesswork.

The smart choice for serious vapers

The Volcano Classic Onyx isn’t just another vaporizer—it’s the original desktop legend, refined. With true convection heating, precise analog temperature control, and the patented Easy Valve balloon system, it gives you full control over your experience. No learning curve, no mess, no waste. Just rich, cool vapor you can share in seconds. This is what happens when engineering meets passion.

Why the Volcano outperforms basic desktop vapes

Most desktop units cut corners on materials and airflow. The Volcano doesn’t. It’s built with medical-grade components and a ceramic heating element that ensures even heat distribution without hotspots. The oversized heat exchanger delivers consistent vapor from the first hit to the last, while the forced-air system fills balloons in under 30 seconds—no manual pumping required.

• Full convection heating preserves terpene profiles for maximum flavor
• Zero combustion means cleaner vapor and no lingering smell
• Balloon system allows for effortless sharing and precise dosing
• German engineering ensures long-term reliability and minimal maintenance
• Works with both dry herbs and concentrates (with included pad)

Real benefits you’ll notice from day one

You’ll taste the difference immediately—rich, smooth vapor that doesn’t scratch your throat. Because the Volcano heats evenly, you get more vapor from less material, stretching your supply further. The balloon system lets you inhale naturally, without lung strain, making it perfect for medical users or anyone with sensitivity. Whether you're flying solo or passing it around, sessions become more relaxed, more flavorful, and way more efficient. Plus, the AVB comes out uniformly decarbed—no stirring, no charring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use concentrates with the Volcano Classic Onyx?

Yes, you can use oils or waxes with the included liquid pad. Place the pad in the chamber, add your concentrate, and vaporize at higher temperatures (400°F+). For best results, cover about two-thirds of the pad.

How often should I replace the balloons?

Moderate users should replace balloons every 3–4 weeks; heavy users every 1–2 weeks. Replace when vapor tastes stale, or if you notice residue buildup or physical damage like tears.

Is the Volcano Classic worth the price?

Absolutely. With over 20 years of proven performance, medical-grade build quality, and a 3-year warranty, it’s a long-term investment. Many users report over a decade of daily use with minimal maintenance.

Does it work for people with low lung capacity?

Yes—the balloon system requires zero draw effort. Just sip from the mouthpiece like a straw. It’s one of the most accessible vapes for medical users or beginners.

Can I connect it to a water piece?

Yes, with the POTV Volcano Glass Adapter, you can route vapor through a water pipe or mini bubbler for extra cooling and smoothness.

What’s the difference between Classic and Hybrid?

The Classic uses analog controls and takes 3–6 minutes to heat. The Hybrid has digital temp control, Bluetooth, a whip attachment, and heats in under 2 minutes. Both deliver the same vapor quality.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve been using the Volcano Classic for over 8 years—same unit, still going strong. I love the simplicity: no apps, no screens, just turn the dial and let it rip. I usually run it at 380°F for daytime sessions and 420°F when I want something heavier. The balloon system is perfect for group hangs—no passing a hot whip, no awkward draws. I keep a couple of dosing capsules on hand for micro-sessions, and I always use the chamber reducer for small loads. Cleaning? I brush the screen after each use and deep clean every 4–6 weeks with isopropyl alcohol. The only thing I’ve replaced is the power switch—sent it in, got it back in 5 days. If you want a vaporizer that just works, this is it. I keep a Hybrid in the office for quick whip hits, but at home, the Classic is my forever ride.
