Simply put: if you want the best of the best, the Volcano Hybrid by Storz & Bickel is the one. Available in different styles to suit your taste. 

Let's take a closer look at the Volcano Hybrid Vaporizer.


WHAT IS THE VOLCANO HYBRID VAPORIZER?

In August 2019 Storz & Bickel launched the Volcano Hybrid, a redesigned version of the legendary Volcano Classic desktop vaporizer. The Volcano Hybrid is a desktop vaporizer designed by Storz & Bickel, a brand known for premium quality. It’s built to vaporize dry herbs and concentrates, giving you smooth and flavorful clouds. Unlike smaller portable devices, it’s made to stay in one place and is the best vaporizer for at home.

Volcano classic

Volcano Hybrid

The Volcano Hybrid comes with a digital control panel, a smartphone app and can now be used with balloons or a tube.

For many people, the original Volcano Classic was the vaporizer it all started with. Its purity, precision and vapour quality are unrivalled, which is why it&s still going strong after all these years. Even so, Storz & Bickel decided that it was time for an upgrade. By introducing the Volcano Hybrid home vaporizer, they now offer a vaporizer that will set the standard for the coming decade.

WHY IS IT CALLED THE VOLCANO HYBRID?

The answer is balloon or tube - two delivery systems in one. Hybrid means combining different elements in one. With this new version, you can have a vaping experience in two different ways.

Volcano Hybrid with tube

Volcano Hybrid with balloon and tube

First, there is the classic way of filling balloons. The generated vapour is collected in the balloon. Once the valve balloon is filled, it can be detached and separated from the Volcano Hybrid. The content may be inhaled at ease, completely separated from the vaporization process: it's comfortable, safe and social.

The big addition is the alternative inhalation method through a rotatable tube system. You can now directly vape from the Volcano Hybrid desktop vaporizer using a whip. Just heat the device and start inhaling without using the air pump. Enjoy pure vapour with minimal airflow resistance in a superb continuous vaping session.

Why you'll love it

-Two ways to vape – enjoy the classic balloon or switch to the whip for direct hits.

-Heats up fast – ready to use in just a few minutes, no long waiting.

-Built to last – German precision, solid construction, made for years of use.

-Full control – set your own temperature and manage everything easily via touchscreen or app.

-Made for home comfort – perfect for relaxed sessions on the couch, solo or with friends.

IS THE VOLCANO HYBRID WORTH IT?

The Volcano Hybrid is not just a high quality but a superior device and the best desktop vaporizers on today's market.

If you don't have a desktop vaporizer yet, if you want the absolute best of the best and you have the budget, then it's a no-brainer. Just go with the Hybrid. All features (performance, user-friendliness and functionality) are well worth the high price tag.

Who is the Volcano Hybrid for?

The Volcano Hybrid is perfect for anyone who values quality and wants the best vaping experience available. Whether you’re a casual user who enjoys herbs now and then, or a daily enthusiast looking for top performance, it’s made to deliver. It’s also a great fit for people who enjoy sharing sessions with friends, thanks to its balloon and hose options.

Is the Volcano Hybrid healthy?

Compared to smoking or traditional combustion, the Volcano Hybrid is a much cleaner option. Instead of burning, it gently heats your herbs or concentrates, releasing the active ingredients without harmful smoke or toxins. This means less irritation for your lungs and a smoother overall experience.

How does the Volcano Hybrid improve vaping?

The Volcano Hybrid takes vaping to the next level by giving you control and flexibility. You can switch between balloon and whip use, adjust the exact temperature, and even control it with an app. Its powerful heating system ensures consistent vapor, while the design makes it simple and reliable every time.

VOLCANO HYBRID VAPORIZER - Smoke performance

A powerful 100-watt heater pushes air through the vapour path and delivers smooth, clean, flavourful vapour without combustion. The cloud density and flavour production of the Hybrid is unrivalled.

FILLING CHAMBER AND CAN I VAPE CONCENTRATES AND LIQUIDS WITH THE VOLCANO HYBRID?

The Hybrid comes with a locking system for the filling chamber. The chamber locks tightly with a simple twist and stays there until you want to unlock it.

Filling chamber

The Volcano can be used with dry herbs, solid concentrates and liquids. The filling chamber can be filled up to 0,5 gram of dry herbs. If you vape concentrate, crumble the concentrate into smaller particles, and use the drip pads as well as a higher temperature. With the Drip Pad you can also vape oils / liquids.
For smaller loads like 0,1 gram you can use the S&B dosing capsules (which are also suitable for Mighty and Crafty+) but you will also need a chamber reducer.

Chamber reducer

How to use the Volcano Hybrid?

Follow these quick steps for smooth, flavorful sessions. With balloon or whip.

1

Power on & warm up

Plug in the Volcano Hybrid and turn it on via the touchscreen. Choose your temperature (40–230 °C) and let it heat up until it reaches your set point.

Tip: Many users like 180–200 °C for herbs.
2

Prepare your material

Grind your dry herbs to a medium consistency, or use the appropriate pad for concentrates. Avoid over-packing to keep airflow smooth.

Tip: A light, even pack works best.
3

Load the filling chamber

Place your material in the filling chamber and attach it securely to the device. Make sure the screen is clean and seated properly.

4

Choose balloon or whip

For the balloon, attach it and press the air button to fill. For direct draws, connect the whip and inhale slowly and steadily.

5

Enjoy & adjust

Taste your vapor and fine-tune temperature if needed for more flavor or density. You can also control settings from the app for extra convenience.

6

Empty & quick clean

After the session, turn the device off, remove the chamber, and empty it. Brush out any leftovers so it’s fresh for next time.

Deep clean removable parts with isopropyl alcohol when needed.

Does the Volcano Hybrid smell?

The Volcano Hybrid produces far less smell than smoking, since it vaporizes instead of burning. The scent is noticeable but much lighter and doesn’t linger as long. Using it in a ventilated room helps keep things almost odor-free.

How to clean

Cleaning is simple with the included tools. Empty the chamber after each session and brush out any leftover material. For deeper cleaning, soak removable parts in isopropyl alcohol and rinse well before using again. Regular care keeps the vapor pure and the device running smoothly.

Battery life

The Volcano Hybrid doesn’t rely on a battery. I runs on direct power from the wall. That means no charging, no worrying about battery cycles, and unlimited session time. It’s built for consistency and reliability whenever you want to use it.

WHAT IS THE BEST TEMPERATURE FOR THE VOLCANO HYBRID?

The optimal temperature for the Volcano Hybrid Vaporizer is typically between 180°C and 190°C, balancing flavor and vapor production for an excellent vaping experience. The Hybrid will be ready for use in 40 seconds. Explore the full flavour spectrum of your dry herb with precise temperature control that ranges from 40°C to 230°C.

The LED displays real-time feedback as it climbs to your chosen temperature. The Hybrid app on your phone lets you easily manage your sessions from your phone.

 

VOLCANO HYBRID - USER-FRIENDLY FEATURES

The Hybrid offers a digital display and touchscreen, which makes the Hybrid extremely user-friendly, especially when it comes to locking-in your preferred temperature with pinpoint precision.

HOW TO CONNECT THE VOLCANO HYBRID WITH THE APP?

You can easily connect the Hybrid via Bluetooth with the smartphone app. The app expands the possibilities of the vaporizer.

  • Control over the heat process
  • Personalize settings
  • Firmware updates
  • Adjust auto-shutoff

I finally decided to use Amazon's Kindle trade-in program to trade-in my 2nd generation dinosaur Kindle for some newer tech. While my old Kindle still did work and had been a workhorse for years, the battery was not what it was, it was heavier, and the lack of back-lit light for nighttime reading was overdue for an upgrade. This Kindle is very lightweight compared to my old Kindle, even with a case (Moko, Origami Slim Shell), which I purchased as an accessory item. It is almost as light as my Galaxy S8+. The touch screen works well, which is another feature I did not have previously. I can say my only complaint here is there is little room on the sides of the case to rest your thumbs when holding the device, which sometimes causes a page turn accidentally while reading. This normally happens when reading in bed, but it's not a huge issue. The display is easy to read and I really like the paperwhite design of the display. Also, I very much like the device is backlit with a good range on adjusting the brightness as needed. I don't generally read outside much, so, for now, I have not encountered any issues. I have had the device about a month and have not needed to charge it since my first charging. I usually keep it on airplane mode and the battery is going strong. Very happy with that. The one complaint I have had with this device - and it is not the device itself, but with Amazon - the charging cable (micro-USB) lacks a power adapter enabling you to charge the device from an outlet. This was not the case with my 2nd generation Kindle as it came with the full cable and power adapter. Then, Amazon conveniently recommends you purchase said adapter as "official OEM" adapter for Kindle devices for the whopping price of $19.99. This is a complete rip-off, in my opinion. The adapter should come with the device, but if you are going to sell it separately, you do not need to over-charge for it by this ridiculous amount. You can find another generic adapter for a reasonable price. Just be sure to make sure it matches the specs required for charging the device. Booo - bad form Amazon! Even with the "missing" adapter, I am happy with the product and the value and price paid. I also very much recommend taking advantage of the trade-in program Amazone offers if you can. I was able to get a $5 credit for my old Kindle and 25% off toward future Kindle product. I also pulled the trigger on this sale during Prime Days so the device was further discounted. This was a great time to upgrade and save money.

Worth the money (especially if you wait for a Prime Day sale!)
Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
I've had my paperwhite for about a month now, so I guess it's as good of time as any to properly review it. This is my first paperwhite. I got a b&n Nook Color back in 2010 for Christmas, which has served me really well over the years. However, it reached the point recently where it wouldn't hold a charge and so I found myself in the market for a new e-reader. I was drawn to the paperwhite because it was waterproof and would hold a long charge. I was a little leery about the black-and-white only nature of the paperwhite, especially as my previous ereader was in color, but so far it hasn't been an issue. I used to read comics on my Nook but haven't read digital comics in a few years, preferring print. This might be something someone who does read books with illustrations would want to take into consideration. I really appreciate the long battery life of the paperwhite. I've had it for about a month and have only had to charge it once (and it had only gotten down to about 48% so I probably could have pushed it further than I did). I've been able to read several books with the battery barely being effected. The biggest draw on battery life seems to be using the store or trying to use the rudimentary Web browser. I've been very impressed by the light, too. My Nook was impossible to read on in some lights, which hasn't been an issue at all with the paperwhite. I usually have the brightness adjusted to about the halfway point for casual reading, and brighten the screen if necessary. The brightest option COULD be a little brighter, but that's nitpicky. The device itself is VERY lightweight and portable. I have dvd cases that weigh more. My phone certainly weighs more. It's not too big or bulky to hold; I can easily hold it with just one hand. The only draw back I've really noticed is that the touchscreen is a little sensitive. Sometimes when I'm trying to scroll through my library, I end up selecting a title I wasn't trying to open. Other times, I might scroll through several pages by accidently hitting my thumb on the screen when holding the device. Buy this is a very minor inconvenience. Also, I bought the option with "special offers". They in no way to impede my reading experience. The ads show up on the main screen when the device is not in use, or in a small banner along the bottom of the "home" menu. That's it. No ads popping up during your reading.

I bought the Kindle Paperwhite 2018 edition, 8 GB of storage with Special Offers for myself because up until I received it, I've been reading with the Kindle app on my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone instead. While the Kindle app on my phone was great, my eyes were really straining on the smaller screen and I'm a voracious reader. I was looking for something in a larger screen, but won't utilize the other feature and capabilities of a tablet, and beyond Kindle have no use for one at all. Overall, I'm highly impressed with this little Kindle device. I want to start by mentioning the Special Offers, as in all the reviews I read and heard about the device, the Special Offers weren't more than a footnote. They aren't intrusive at all, it's just on the main screen and that's it. They don't interrupt reading at all, and the Kindle Paperwhite personalized my Special Offers based on my reading, Kindle browsing history, and purchases so a lot of the ads that come through are actually interesting to me and in fact one or two of the ads have made me drool enough to purchase whatever book they were trying to peddle. That is definitely a plus, and yet a terrible thing because I AM such a voracious reader and I know I'm going to be spending a lot more money on Kindle books but at least the majority of the ads are tailored to the type of books I enjoy reading. I'm definitely not complaining about the Special Offers, nor will I pay to have them removed when the next ad that is displayed on my Kindle's screen might be a book I might like. Some may find the ads annoying just because it's an ad, but I find it enjoyable and definitely not intrusive in the slightest. The battery life - the Kindle came out of the box at 60% battery life and took virtually no time at all to charge to 100% on my phone's quick charger. I spent from 3 pm until almost 11 pm doing nothing but reading (when I said I'm a voracious reader, I meant it). My Kindle went from 100% battery to only 81% and from 11 pm until 8:30 am, only lost 2% battery. That is absolutely amazing to me and worth every penny I spent on the Kindle. I can't do that with my phone or a tablet; those batteries drain so quickly but this Kindle will last me all day long and still won't need to be charged at night. That's such a huge plus for a reader like me! The light on the Kindle Paperwhite is amazing, and even in my dimly lit room I don't need to have it much above 5 or 6 on the brightness. Although my phone boasts an almost 6" screen, truly the Kindle screen is much larger and thus much easier to read especially with the matte finish. My eyes strain far less on the Kindle even with almost a solid 8 or more hours of nothing but reading. This Kindle screen isn't too large, but it's definitely not too small either, it's just right. It's almost like you have a physical book in your hand, as far as relative size goes, though a little larger than your common paperback. I don't use Audible because I can't pay attention to a book when I'm listening to it being read to me, so the 8 GB of storage (more like close to 6 GB usable), holds plenty of books for me. I only have just a handful downloaded at any one point in time, but even the 10 or so books I have downloaded at once still doesn't take the storage space down anywhere near the 5 GB mark. So 8 GB is more than plenty for just regular printed books if you're like me and suddenly develop a case of A.D.D. when it comes to audiobooks. The speed of the device is just fine too. I won't say it's excellent compared to my Galaxy S9, but that's apples and oranges. For an e-reader the speed is great. There is just a little lag, but not enough to become anything beyond just barely noticeable. It's not annoying at all. It takes maybe a second or so to respond. When turning the page, even reading at a quick pace I'm able to keep up with the story on the next page from where it left off without interruption. The overall build quality is excellent. It is light weight and thinner than I expected. Yes it's plastic, but it doesn't feel cheaply made. It's comfortable to hold in one hand, or two if you like. The only thing I would change about the build is the power button - maybe I'm just used to them being on the right side of the device near the top... but the only thing I would change is the placement of the button. Overall, I'm very satisfied and impressed with my purchase. This was an excellent buy, and my next Kindle purchase is going to be one for a couple other people in my life who read just as voraciously as I do.

Excited to read!
Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
This review is based on two months of daily use. I purchased a Kindle without really knowing much about them. I have always been against electronic books because I have always enjoyed the feeling of pages in between my fingers. However, circumstances have made me change my beliefs, mostly not having a nightstand with a light, and books can be bulky for a bike traveler like myself. So let me just begin with a couple of negatives. A couple of my favorite features about actual books is able to leaf back through pages and re-read portions that I misremembered, or that I really enjoyed. Reading on a Kindle makes that difficult because "leafing through" could take forever, especially if you don't recall the area in which the passage occurs. I'm also a big highlighter and margin note-taker in books so I can analyze. Although you can highlight with Kindles, for me, it's just not the same. Finally, Kindle's touch screen can be hit or miss - sometimes I will want to go forward, but the page might be back. Load times for the main screen, or cycling through, can be obnoxious. And just looking through Amazon's library to find a book? Forget about it! A lot of the novels on their suggested books, or top sellers, are "adult" novels, or easy reads. It's very difficult to find a book when you just want to discover a new author or title. Now for the benefits - my favorite feature is integrating Good Reads. It tracks my reading, the books I've read, and the books I want to read. Not only that, but it will give me suggestions based on the books I have saved or I have read. That takes care of the Amazon library problem. The backlight and the battery life are phenomenal! I can go a week without charging my Kindle, and I read it for about 90 minutes a day. It might be attributed to my backlight always being fairly low. I don't really see a reason to raise it above a third of the meter. Finally, the Kindle is small enough to fit in the back pocket of jeans. It's lightweight and waterproof. Basically, it's built for travel. As someone who walks and bikes everywhere, it makes reading on a go so much easier than carrying around a bulky or heavy book. I am grateful for this purchase. Even though it isn't an actual book, I look forward to reading on my Kindle, and if I fall in love with a new book I'm reading on my Kindle, I know that it will be worth the $15 to buy the physical copy and collect dust on my bookshelf!

Pinhole Bright Spots and Other Issues
Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited, Digital Storage Capacity: 8 GB, Offer Type: Ad-Supported, Color: Black, Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
Updated Review on Oct 6, 2019: After nearly a year of using it, I noticed that the issues I mentioned in the original review were largely negligible while reading. The pinhole near the corner was never bothersome because I'd have to remember to look very closely to see it. The battery can last for a long time during hibernation, even for many many weeks if not used. I also hardly remember to notice the uneven screen color temperature. The only thing that's still a bit inconvenient is the glare. When near a window I'd have to adjust my reading angle to avoid the glare. It's something hard to overcome with a digital device and it's not a big compromise for light-weight and convenience. Therefore please take my original review below with a grain of salt, I was nitpicking on a device that I had a lot of expectations for. I also decided to change the 3 stars to 4 stars. Original review on Nov 12, 2018 (with updates on Jan 26, 2019): I have owned a Kindle Paperwhite since 2014. I really liked that old one and gifted it away a while ago. Perhaps I have had too much expectation for this new 2018 version (waited for many months for the release), I felt quite disappointed with a few of its issues. First I must be clear that I am a fan of e-books, and I think Kindle Paperwhite has always been a nice device, light, easy to use, easier on the eyes than an LCD screen, easy to look up words, etc. I also used a Kindle Oasis for a couple of days, I don't feel comfortable with the hard slick aluminum back, and its front lights are located on the sides, so the slight uneven light can be observed from left to right; while for Paperwhite with bottom lights, the unevenness is from top to bottom, meaning within each text line, the light is usually even, therefore less distracting to reading. Here comes the new 2018 Paperwhite: I like the screen is flat with the bezels now. However, both the first device I received and the subsequent replacement have a bright pinhole dot under the screen (see photos). It's like a piece of tiny defect or dust above the e-ink text and located in the light distribution layer (my guess). When the front light is adjusted to a high level, the dot becomes quite bright and distracting. I was surprised the second device had the same issue (just my luck or something else is going on here?), but because it's near the corner, I decided to live with it. This pinhole bright spot issue apparently can be found on the previous generations as well based on many reviews, I am just astonished Amazon hasn't fixed it. Also, I don't know what happened with the charging cable, it took me a lot of effort to plug it into the device, and pull it out, it's like as if the connectors are not made well. (Update Jan 26, 2019: the difficulty of plugging in the cable only occurred during the first couple of uses, it became normal and smooth later.) Also, the screen feels easier to smudge than my old Paperwhite. The texts appear slightly blurrier where there are fingerprints. Another issue is that the screen has a ton of reflection from bright windows or light sources (please see my photo, taken under an east-facing window in the afternoon). I don’t remember if it has always been like this or it’s because of the new screen update. Even with the window blinds shut, I had to tilt Kindle to certain angles to avoid the glare, albeit softer than on an LCD screen, still quite distracting. Under the same lighting, a real paperback has no reflection glare issues. Furthermore, when front light is on and when external ambient light is somewhat dim, my replacement Kindle Paperwhite appears a bit yellower near the bottom, especially on the left side, it’s distracting but hopefully, I’ll get used to it. It’s like real paper books getting old and parts of pages turning yellow—I try to convince myself. (Update Jan 26, 2019: other reviewers have mentioned issues with poor battery life. My experience is similar that if I don't use it for a few hours, even with WiFi turned on, the device will enter something like a hibernation mode, which requires a bit more time to wake up, but it allows the battery to last for many weeks if left on the shelf. If I read about 1-2 hours a day with wifi on, the battery drains very quickly, and will hardly last beyond a week. However, If you keep airplane mode on during reading, it will significantly conserve battery, the only inconvenience is that if you don't know a word and the dictionary also doesn't have it, which is quite likely the case, Wikipedia won't be able to show up without WiFi.) Perhaps I’m just asking too much for a digital device. Overall, it’s still a great device to read books, and Amazon still provided a fast replacement when I asked. However, with these experiences, I can no longer swear to e-readers. I don’t write reviews often, but I feel strongly about this product and sincerely hope it will help fellow costumers and help Amazon improve their devices.
