Below is an overview of the plants that
are suitable for vaporization in the
VOLCANO HYBRID Vaporization Sys-
tem. The aromas and fragrances from
the plant materials listed below may be
vaporized.
4. OVERVIEW OF PLANTS
The VOLCANO HYBRID Vaporization
System releases fragrances or aro-
mas from the herbs and other plant
materials listed below, or from their ex-
tracts (aromatic oils). These aromatic
substances are released through va-
porization by heated air, and may be
exhausted directly into the ambient
air, collected in a Valve Balloon for sub-
sequent inhalation or inhaled directly
through the Tube.
The device may only be used with the
recommended vaporizing materials.
The use of other substances can pres-
ent a health risk.
The VOLCANO HYBRID Vaporization
System is not FDA approved.
The extracts (aromatic oils) of these
plants can be vaporized at up to 130°C
(266°F) with the help of the Drip Pad
supplied with the Hot Air Generator. To
do so, please follow the instructions
given in Chapter 7.9. “Drip Pad“, page
38.
WARNING:
Please consult your doctor
or pharmacist if you have any
medical concerns. It is possible that
some plants may cause allergic reac-
tions for the user. If this occurs, it is
urgently recommended to refrain from
further use of such plants.
Only use the plant parts which are
found in this list and which have been
veried according to the regulations
of the European or any other pharma-
4. OVERVIEW OF PLANTS
copoeia with regard to genuineness,
purity and pathogenic germs. You can
purchase such plants or plant parts in
pharmacies.
It is important to observe the follow-
ing instructions in order to set the
VOLCANO HYBRID Vaporization Sys-
tem with the plant material in the best
possible way for your personal require-
ments.
5. FACTORS INFLUENCING VAPORIZATION
The amount of dissolved aromas and
fragrances is inuenced by the follow-
ing factors:
1. Quality: The amount of aromas
or fragrances contained in the
respective plant material that can
be vaporized.
2. Quantity: The amount of vaporiza-
tion material in the Filling Chamber.
3. Surface: The ner the plant is
ground, the greater the surface and
the more aromas and fragrances
can be released during the vapor-
ization cycle.
4. Temperature: The higher the
temperatures, 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 roasted
when using higher temperature.
1514

5. FACTORS INFLUENCING VAPORIZATION
It is not necessary to ll the Valve Bal-
loon completely. It is often sucient to
ll 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 ll the amount you want to
inhale within 10 minutes.
5.2. Using the Tube Kit
The VOLCANO HYBRID can also be
used with the enclosed Tube Kit for
direct inhalation. Further details on us-
ing the Tube Kit are described in Chap-
ter 7.7. “Tube Kit”, page 34.
Since the plant ingredients are released
in a gentle manner, the vaporization
cycle may be repeated with the same
contents in the Filling Chamber. De-
pending on the four factors described
above, the load of the Filling Chamber
may be reused multiple times until the
aromas and fragrances are released
completely. Before a new vaporization
process, the contents of the Filling
Chamber can be removed and ground-
ed again to increase the surface area
of the starting material. An increased
temperature would activate more va-
por as well, but has a negative effect
on the taste. If no more vapors form at
maximum temperature, the vaporiza-
tion material is completely used up and
must be replaced with fresh material.
However, for the best aroma results it
is advisable to replace the vaporization
material before this point.
5.1. Using the Valve Balloon
When using the Valve Balloon, it is
important to observe the formation
of steam in it. A ne, white vapor feels
very comfortable when inhaled. As the
vapor gets denser the taste can get too
strong.
A very high intensity (density) of the va-
por can lead to irritation of the respira-
tory passages from the concentration
of the aromas and fragrances. In this
case, the temperature should be low-
erd, so that the intensity of the vapors
is reduced.
Watch vapor density
ok
5. FACTORS INFLUENCING VAPORIZATION
5.3. Breathing Technique
The device is not to be used, if
the user has respiratory tract
or lung conditions. Depend-
ing on the density, the vapor could ir-
ritate respiratory tracts or lungs, which
can lead to coughing.
Inhale only half the amount of air
you can normally manage. Hold your
breath for a few seconds and then
exhale slowly. It is advisable to delib-
erately concentrate on your breathing
process.
1716

Put the Hot Air Generator on a at and
stable surface.
Take care that the Power Cord cannot
be damaged through kinking, crushing
or pulling.
Improper installation may
lead to personal injury or ma-
terial damages, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held
responsible.
6.3. Care and Maintenance
Before any maintenance work is done,
the device has to be switched off and
the power plug has to be unplugged
from the power supply.
At the bottom of the Hot Air Genera-
tor is an Air Filter. The Air Filter must
be inspected for contamination every
four weeks by turning the Air Filter Cap
counterclockwise and remove the Air
Filter. Open the rectangular ap and
replace the Air Filter.
Please pay attention to the cor-
rect positioning of the Air Filter:
it has three large and one small
rounded corner.
6.1. Unpacking
Take out the Hot Air Generator and the
accessories from the box. Immediate-
ly after unpacking check whether the
Hot Air Generator, the accessories, the
Power Cord and the power plug are all
included in the delivery and work prop-
erly. If you notice any defects, inform
the seller or the delivery agent imme-
diately.
The packaging elements
(plastic bags, polystyrene
parts, cardboard boxes, etc.)
must not be made accessible to chil-
dren as they pose a potential danger.
Please dispose of the packing material
in a proper and environmentally friend-
ly manner.

7.2. Heating Up
To turn on the heater, press the touch
button ‘HEAT‘. The set/actual tem-
perature will light up, signaling that
the heater is switched on. The upper,
orange display shows the actual tem-
perature in the Filling Chamber, the

set temperature. The heating process
is completed when the set value is
equal to the actual value. This is also in-
dicated acoustically by briey switch-
ing on the pump (can be switched off
using the app). Depending on the set
temperature, heating-up can take up
to two minutes. After the heating pro-
cess is completed, the temperature is
constantly maintained at the set value.
For technical reasons the
temperature in the Filling
Chamber cannot be mea-
sured during vaporization. During op-
eration the temperature is measured
at the heat exchanger. The display in-
dicates the reference values for the
attached Filling Chamber with the
pump switched on.

must be in perfect condition. Only con-
nect the VOLCANO HYBRID to a prop-
erly installed socket.
When the power plug is plugged in,
all sequences of the LCD display light
up briey, after which the rmware
number is displayed. The mains sup-
ply indicator, which then appears on
the display, indicates that the Hot Air
Generator is connected to the mains
supply.

Adapter
As an alternative to the VOLCANO Bal-
loon, use an odor-free, heat-resistant
and food safe oven tube or oven bag,
which is used in the food industry. It
is available in nearly every drug store
and supermarket. Do not use any other
plastic bags or clingwraps. The proce-
dure to change a Balloon with a heat-
proof oven tube is described below:
Cut a piece of Balloon Material of ap-
prox. 50-60 cm (19-23 inch) and tie it
close at one end.
Loosen the Balloon Matierial by inser-
ting your hand in the tube. Remove the
plastic strip lying on the Balloon Mate-
rial and use it to tie one end of the tube
up tightly.
To avoid residual moisture
deposition in the Valve Bal-
loon, and to minimize the risk
of possible contamination, do
not blow into the Valve Bal-
loon.
As the content of the Valve Bal-
loon deates, it may be com-
pletely emptied by stretching
the Balloon taut and subsequently in-
haling the content.

As the opening of the Balloon is much
wider than the diameter of the Valve
Housing, the Balloon must be neatly
folded to t. Fold the opening into 16
folds. Then pull the Balloon Fixation
Ring approximately 3 cm (1.2 inch)
over the open end of the Balloon and
then pull the Balloon Fixation Ring with
the Balloon over the Valve Collar until it
ts into the intended notch.

the Tube.
7.9. Drip Pad
The Drip Pad is used to vaporize the
extracts (aromatic oils) of the plants
specied in the plant list. The stainless
steel wire of the Drip Pad serves as the
carrier of the essence, comparable to
the unvaporizable plant bers in vapor-
ization plant material.
Caution! The extracts are
usually concentrates; there-
fore, a very small dosage is
sucient. The evaporated concen-
trates must not be inhaled directly, but
must only be pumped directly from the
Filling Chamber into the room air with-
out a Valve Balloon or Tube attached.
7.9.1. Preparation
If the Drip Pad is used, the Screens in
the Filling Chamber are not required
and should be removed. The Drip Pad
is inserted into the Filling Chamber in-
stead of the lower Screen.
Preparation to use the Drip Pad
7.9.2. Application
Turn the Filling Chamber upside down
and use a pipette to drop the extract
onto the center of the bottom of the
Drip Pad. The Drip Pad (dimensions Ø
15 x H 5 mm) can hold up to ten drops.
If you use an extract with unknown
concentration, use maximum one drop
and carefully increase the amount until
you achieve the correct dosage.
Applying drops with a pipette
7. OPERATING THE VOLCANO HYBRID
Please note that oils become
more liquid at high tempera-
tures. If you use too many
drops, the extract could drip into the
Hot Air Generator, which must be
avoided.
Certain extracts may be provided in
a diluted form as alcoholic solutions.
The advantage of such extracts is that
the liquid is distributed more evenly
around the stainless steel wire of the
Drip Pad. Therefore, the surface used
for vaporization is larger. However, if
such extracts are used, rst the alco-
hol must be separated from the extract
as alcohol should not be inhaled. To do
this, put the Filling Chamber onto the
unheated (room temperature) Hot Air
Generator and switch on the pump un-
til the alcohol has evaporated, which
may take a few seconds. As alcohol
has a characteristic odor, a simple
smell test can be performed to nd
out whether the Filling Chamber is free
of alcohol. The extracts that vaporize
only at higher temperatures remain
in the Drip Pad. Then heat up the Hot
Air Generator and add the extract re-
maining on the Drip Pad as described
in Chapter 7.5. “Application of the
VOLCANO HYBRID Filling Chamber“,
described starting on page 27.
Extracts without solvents can be va-
porized directly after they are applied
to the Drip Pad.
