    Storz & Bickel Volcano Classic (TED-0034)

    Technical Specifications

    Property Specification
    Manufacturer Storz & Bickel GmbH
    Family Volcano (desktop hot air generator / balloon vaporizer)
    Part Number 01 00 C-1 (Storz & Bickel article number, VOLCANO CLASSIC product page) 1
    Form Factor Desktop hot air generator — mains-powered, stationary countertop unit; not a handheld/portable device 1
    Release Period 2000 – present (first VOLCANO units came to market 2000; development began 1996, VOLCANO balloon patent granted 1999) 2
    Heating Method Forced-air convection (“hot air generator”; manufacturer describes pure convection heating) 12
    Heat Generation Cartridge-style resistance heater in a food-safe aluminum “heating block”; heat output 100 W. The official Instructions for Use refer throughout to the unit’s “heating block” (e.g. “the heating block will automatically heat up,” “the temperature is measured at the heating block”) 3; independent retailer copy specifies a “high-performance heating cartridge” in a “food-safe aluminum heating block,” corroborating the cartridge-style design (secondary source, not independently verified here) 4
    Temperature Control Mechanical/analog control dial; CLASSIC temperature adjustable ≈130–230 °C 3. Actual air temperature fluctuates ± 5 °C (± 9 °F) around the indicated set point during the heating/cooling cycle of the heating block, per the official Instructions for Use 3. The discontinued VOLCANO DIGIT (2007–2020) was the first electronically controlled model 25
    Temperature Range ≈130–230 °C (266–446 °F), adjustable 13
    Heat-Up Time ≈5 min to 180 °C per product page; 3–5 min per quick-start manual 16
    Air Flow ≈12 l/min (per official Instructions for Use) 3
    Air Pump Output 11 W (per official Instructions for Use) 3
    Delivery Balloon: EASY VALVE balloon bags with valve and mouthpiece, filled from the filling chamber 16

    In the Box VOLCANO CLASSIC unit; 4× EASY VALVE balloons with mouthpiece plus 1 with adapter; filling chamber with clips; cap ring; screen set (Ø ≈30 mm); air filter set; herb mill (Ø ≈59 mm); cleaning brush; Instructions for Use 1

    Revision & Variant Notes

    • The Classic is the original VOLCANO: development began 1996, the VOLCANO patent for the detachable balloon was granted in 1999, and the first units reached the market in 2000 — described by the manufacturer as “the first fully functional herbal hot air generator” 2.
    • Siblings in the Volcano family: VOLCANO DIGIT (2007–2020, discontinued — the first electronically controlled model, with digital temperature display) and VOLCANO HYBRID (2019, current — adds dual inhalation via valve balloon or tube/whip) 25.
    • The Classic remains the analog-control model; the manufacturer markets it as “unlimited sessions” and “engineered for longevity” 1.
    • Anniversary editions: VOLCANO CLASSIC Gold Edition (2020, 20th anniversary) and VOLCANO CLASSIC 25 Years Edition (2025, green with gold-plated accents) 2.

    Safety & Use Notes

    • Official quick-start cautions: the unit has a hot surface; never leave the filling chamber on the VOLCANO after use 6.
    • The consumer VOLCANO CLASSIC is not a certified medical device. Only the VOLCANO MEDIC 2 is certified under EU MDR (TÜV SÜD, July 2023); the earlier VOLCANO MEDIC (2010–2019) is discontinued 25.
