Storz & Bickel have always looked for ways to give their customers a pure herbal high. This philosophy is behind the success of the Volcano model. The Storz & Bickel Plenty vaporizer has a coil made of stainless steel which is joined to the mouthpiece and helps to cool the vapour as the user draws on it. The Plenty has a regulator which guards against overheating, and if you forget to turn it off when you are finished inhaling, then it will shut itself down.

The varied characteristics of herbs mean that not all mixtures need the same intensity of heat. With the Plenty, the temperature is controlled by the user within the range of 130 to 202 degrees Celsius with the help of an analogue thermometer.

The Plenty is lightweight but it is not portable. It plugs into an electricity outlet, so it may not be winning over customers from the battery and butane powered vaporizers.

By 2002, Storz and Bickel were equal partners as they quickly began to expand their company. By 2004 the two had opened a store in Germany and in 2005 they began a business in Oakland, California under the name of Storz & Bickel America, Inc. where customers had access to repair services as well as efficient sales.

While they continued to expand with the opening of additional businesses, the pair were constantly improving the Volcano vaporisation system, which lead to the development of the volcano vaporiser easy valve in 2007.  They also developed a volcano digit, which is the company’s hot air generator.  Sales for the solid valve and the volcano classic quickly surpassed the fifty thousand mark.  The company continues to grow today, with more than 35 employees in various locations.

Users of their products can easily order a variety of paraphernalia online with their simple and easy to use webpage.  Here you will find items such as the Plenty Vaporizer, the Volcano Classic and the Volcano Digit, as well as the hot air generator, a selection of values, starter kits and replacement kits.

Aside from a variety of volcano vaporisers, Storz & Bickel also sell the necessary replacement parts for these devices.  These include volcano vaporiser bags, air filters and filter caps and even men’s and women’s clothing.  Check out their t-shirts, baseball caps and lanyards.

This patented catalytic heater with its bi-metal thermostat is a flameless butane beauty that provides consistent heat, meaning users do not have to wait for the vaporiser to heat up or cool down in between pulls, thus allowing for total smokeless freedom.

Users will enjoy its compact size, which is comparable to that of a smartphone.  Take your butane vaporiser with you any place and enjoy its economical side.  This vaporiser, with one fill of butane gas, will last for a full two hours of continuous use, unlike other types of vaporisers where car kits and batteries are required.

This butane run vaporiser holds 500 mg of your favourite dried or fresh product, and will typically last by vaporising for about 15 minutes.  This vaporisation process produces a flavourful and rich experience that can only be had with the Iolite.

If you enjoy smoking through a variety of vaporisers such as the volcano vaporiser easy valve, for instance, or even the volcano vaporiser solid valve, it is certain you will enjoy your smoking experience that much more when using the palm-sized Iolite butane gas vaporiser.  This durable and simple to use device can be started with a quick flick of the switch by hitting the Piezo igniter.

The unit weighs only 81 grams.  It comes with a carry case, cleaning device, 7-dot herb chamber screen, maintenance tool, a portable handheld vaporizer unit, moisture condenser, extendable mouthpiece, replacement heater mesh screen and instruction manual.

The thermostatic regulator controls the operating temperature at a steady 190oC.  The vaporizer works by creating a catalytic reaction between oxygen and butane in a separate chamber, and a charge of butane can provide two hours of continuous vaporization.  You then grind your chosen herb, insert it into the herb chamber and begin inhaling vapours through the mouthpiece.

You can purchase your Iolite vaporizer in different colours including green, red, orange, purple, or yellow.  The vaporizer is compact enough to fit into your bag or pocket. The unit comes with a two-year guarantee and spare parts are available.

The Plenty vaporizer is small, compact and well suited for personal use.  The complete kit comes with a vaporization unit attached to a hot air generator.  You also receive normal screens, a liquid pad, two tubing sections, herb mill and cleaning brush.  The kit comes with an instruction manual and quick operation guide.  You should be able to purchase the kit for around £220.

The vaporizer is equipped with a double-helix heat exchanger, so that it can efficiently heat the air for high-yield vaporization.  Unlike the Volcano range, the Plenty vaporizer uses screens.  The unit connects to a stainless-steel coil that efficiently cools the vapours, so that the user can enjoy the pure vapour.  The vaporization temperature is fully adjustable between 130oC and 202oC, which helps to control the rate of vaporization.  The unit must be connected to mains power to operate.  The highly efficient vaporization system means you are able to use less of your herbs.   Once used, the unit can be taken apart for cleaning. 

The vaporizer is manufactured to comply with relevant safety standards.  Quality is guaranteed by a strict quality management system, and for added peace of mind, all vaporizers produced are protected by a three-year guarantee.  Running alongside the generous warranty, all Plenty vaporizers have a range of replaceable spare parts that you can purchase direct from the manufacturer and receive free delivery. 

You can purchase your new Plenty vaporizer online from the manufacturer or from various outlets, including Shiva Head Shop.

The complete kit comes with the vaporizing unit, two glass vials and two mouthpieces.  When you want to use it as a handheld portable vaporizing unit, you get a 14.5 mm. and an 18.8 mm size bong attachment suitable for connecting onto most glass bongs, and a rubber O-ring. The ability to connect to other bongs is a fairly unique concept.

The glass vials are detachable and are used as the reaction chamber for the vaporizing unit.  You can prevent contamination when you change from one herb mix to another by using different vials.  Additional vials can be purchased.  As the unit does not require mains power, it is completely portable, so you will be able to use it anywhere.  It is small and lightweight, and there are no critical components that are easily broken.  The metal components are all anodized, which prevents the metal oxides leaching and tainting your vapours. 

The vaporizer is durable, and it is available in light purple, lime green, purple, red, blue, silver, gold, and black, and it will cost you about £80.  The unit comes with a lifetime warranty, so it should provide you with many years of service.

The main difference between the two types of Volcano vaporizer is the display. While the classic model relies on a manual knob for the smoker to turn the vaporizer on, as well as choose their temperature, the digital model relies on a simpler button system. As one might expect, the cost of the digital version of this product is higher than the cost of the classic version. The digital version is also heavier, though both models use the same amount of power.      
 
Once the choice between classic and digital is made, the smoker must then make the choice between the Volcano vaporizer solid valve and Volcano vaporizer easy valve.

The Volcano vaporizer solid valve model is made of stainless steel, which means it is quite durable. This is one of the main selling points of the solid valve, particularly for those who use their Volcano vaporizer quite a bit. Another plus of the solid valve is that the user is able to choose the size of the balloon, while the easy valve has a pre-set balloon size. In addition, the extra balloon material for the solid valve model is cheaper than the extra balloon material for the easy valve model.    

The Volcano vaporizer easy valve model is slightly more expensive than the solid valve model. The bonus of the easy valve model is that there is no cleaning involved. Once the valve has become dirty, it only needs be thrown in the garbage and replaced.  

For both models of valve, extra filter sets can be purchased, along with a wide variety of other spare parts.  

IOLITE vaporizers have a distinct black mesh look, with a complementary colour near the handle. The colour options available for this vaporizer include red, green, yellow, orange and purple. Besides the colour, the vaporizers are all the same model, and look the same. Of course, the cost for any one of the colours is the same.

Every IOLITE vaporizer that can be purchased is small enough to fit into a pocket. If by some chance the machine malfunctions, replacement parts can be purchased from the company website. There are also various accessories to the vaporizer available, including screens – both mesh and fine mesh screens are available.

It is now time to insert the special Volcano Vaporizer bags.  Once the bag has filled with smoke, remove the bag, valve and mouthpiece for the Volcano Vaporizer solid valve, or just the bag and mouthpiece for the Volcano Vaporizer easy valve.  Inhale through the mouthpiece. 

The Volcano Vaporizer, from Storz and Bickel, is widely recognised as being one of the most efficient vaporizers on the market.  Whilst it is expensive compared to other vaporizers, its popularity testifies to the fact that it really works.  Tens of thousands of users cannot be wrong.

The Volcano Digit

The latest addition to the Volcano Vaporizer family is the Volcano Digit.  It differs from the classic design in that it includes a large LED display showing the set temperature and the actual temperature, in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
