2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The VOLCANO Vaporization System
releases fragrances or aromas from
the herbs and other plant materials
listed below, or from their extracts
(aromatic oils). These aromatic sub-
stances are released through vapor-
ization by heated air, and may be ex-
hausted directly into the ambient air,
or collected in a Valve Balloon for
subsequent inhalation.
The device may only be used with the
recommended vaporizing media. The
use of other substances can present
a health risk.
The VOLCANO Vaporization System is
not intended for medical/therapeutic

4. OVERVIEW OF PLANTS
The amount of aromas and fragranc-
es released into the Valve Balloon
can be influenced by the following
factors:
1. Quality: The amount of aromas or
fragrances contained in the respec-
tive plant material that can be vapo-
rized.
2. Quantity: The amount of vaporiza-
tion material in the Filling Cham-
ber.
3. Surface: The finer the plant is
ground, the greater the surface
and the more aromas and fra-
grances can be released during
the vaporization cycle.
4. Temperature: The higher the tem-
peratures, the more aromas and
fragrances will be released at
once.
Please note: Increasing the tempera-
ture should be the last resort, because
plant material tastes more toasted
when using higher temperature.
Since the plant ingredients are re-
leased in a gentle manner, the vapor-
ization cycle may be repeated with the
same contents in the Filling Chamber.
Depending on the four factors de-
scribed above, the load of the Filling
Chamber may be reused multiple
times until the aromas and fragrances
are released completely. It is advised
to take out the content of the Filling
Chamber and grind it once again to
increase the surface of the original
material. An increased temperature
would activate more vapor as well, but
has a negative effect on the taste. If no
more vapors are visible at the highest
temperature, then the vaporization
material is completely exhausted and
must be replaced with new material.
However, for the best aroma results it
is advisable to replace the vaporizati-
on material before this point.
It is important to watch the vapor den-
sity in the Valve Balloon. A fine, white
vapor feels very comfortable when in-
haled. As the vapor gets denser the
taste can get too strong. A very high
intensity (density) of the vapor can
lead to irritation of the respiratory pas-
sages from the concentration of the
aromas and fragrances. In this case,
the temperature should be lowerd, so
that the intensity of the vapors is re-
duced.
It is not necessary to fill the Valve Bal-
loon completely. It is often sufficient to
fill only half or even less than half of the
Valve Balloon in order to achieve the
desired results.
The Valve Balloon is not suitable for
storing vapors over a long period be-
cause the vapors condense on the
Valve Balloon Jacket over time (a few
hours). Only fill the amount you want to
inhale within 10 minutes.

8.2. Heating Up
To switch on the heater, push the
rocker switch labeled “HEAT”. The
rocker switch will light up signaling
that the heater is in operation. At the
same time, the yellow control lamp
will be signaling that the device is
heating up. This heating process of
the heat exchanger can take up to 5
minutes depending upon the chosen
temperature.
As soon as the yellow control lamp
turns off, the set temperature has
been reached, and the heat exchang-
er’s warming process is complete. If
the temperature in the heat exchang-
er drops, the heat exchanger will au-
tomatically heat up, which is signaled
by the yellow control lamp lighting up
again.
The vaporization temperature may
fluctuate about ± 5°C (± 9°F) related
to the indicated values because of
the heating and cool off process of
the heat exchanger. For example at
level 6 from 185°C up to 195°C (365°F
up to 383°F).

When you press the plus button, the
set value is increased, and when you
press the minus button, the set value is
decreased. When you briefly tap on the
plus or minus button, the set values are
increased or decreased respectively in
1-degree increments. If you keep the
plus or minus button pressed, the set
values start running continuously in the
corresponding direction. If you simulta-
neously tap on the plus button and the
minus button, the display changes from
degree Celsius to degree Fahrenheit
and vice versa.
If the actual value is higher
than the set value, you can
speed up the cool off process
by switching on the air pump.
30 minutes after the last time
a button is pressed, the device
automatically switches off.
As long as the heater has a substantial
amount of residual warmth, the tem-
perature is displayed until it drops be-
low +40°C (+104°F). Then the display
turns off, and the green dot on the dis-
play indicates that the Hot Air Genera-
tor is connected to the mains supply.

Never leave the Filling Chamber on top
of the hot air outlet of the VOLCANO
as long as the heater is on, except
when filling the Valve Balloon. Non-
observance can lead to an overheated
Filling Chamber, which might burn
one’s fingers.
Caution! Hot surface!
Do not touch any components
of the Filling Chamber (except
at the textured grip) until they
have cooled down after the
Valve Balloon has been filled.
Put the Valve Balloon on the Filling
Chamber and allow it to lock in place.
This will open the Valve. Now the Val-
ve Balloon will fill with vapors of aro-
mas and fragrances.
Only fill the Valve Balloon with the ap-
proximate amount of vapor that you
intend to use within the next 10 mi-
nutes. Do not overfill the Valve Bal-
loon (overpressure) in order to pre-
vent the loss of vapor of aromas and
fragrances. It is important to watch
the vapor density in the Valve Balloon
