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 subse-
quent 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 FDA approved.
3. INTENDED USE
Below is an overview of the plants
that are suitable for vaporization in
the VOLCANO. The aromas and fra-
grances from the plant materials listed
below may be vaporized.
Any other use is inappropriate and po-
tentially dangerous.
The VOLCANO Vaporization System is
not FDA approved.
Portion of the Temperature
Plant name Botanical name plant used setting
Eucalyptus Eucalyptus globulus the leaves 1 / 130°C (266°F)
Hops Humulus lupulus the cones 3 / 154°C (309°F)
Chamomile Matriarca chamomilla the blossoms 6 / 190°C (374°F)

4. OVERVIEW OF PLANTS
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 Vaporizer. To do so,
please follow the instructions given in
Chapter 12. “Drip Pad”, page 43.
WARNING: Please consult
your doctor or pharmacist if
you have any medical con-
cerns. It is possible that some plants
may cause allergic reactions for the
user. If this occurs, it is urgently recom-
mended 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 pharmacopoeia with regard to
genuineness, purity and pathogenic
germs. You can purchase such plants
or plant parts in pharmacies.
It is important to observe the following
instructions in order to set the VOL-
CANO Vaporization System with the
plant material in the best possible way
for your personal requirements.
2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
 Never allow the Vaporizer to be
used by children or unqualified
persons.
 Only use original Storz & Bickel ac-
cessories and spare parts.
The manufacturer is not re-
sponsible for any damage or
personal injury caused by
inappropriate, incorrect or irrespon-
sible use.

The amount of aromas and fragrances
released into the Valve Balloon can be
inuenced by the following 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 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 Cham-
ber. Depending on the four factors
described above, the load of the Fill-
ing 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 vaporization
material before this point.
It is important to watch the vapor den-
sity in the Valve Balloon. A ne, white
vapor feels very comfortable when
inhaled. As the vapor gets denser the
taste can get too strong. A very high in-
tensity (density) of the vapor can lead
to irritation of the respiratory passages
from the concentration of the aromas
and fragrances. In this case, the tem-
perature should be lowered, so that the
intensity of the vapors is reduced.
ok
Watch vapor density
5. FACTORS INFLUENCING VAPORIZATION 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.
5.1. Breathing Technique
The device is not to be used, if
the user has respiratory tract
or lung conditions. Depending
on the density, the vapor could irritate
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.

responds to the voltage rating stated
on the device. The power cord and the
power plug must be in perfect condi-
tion. Only connect the VOLCANO DIGIT
to a properly installed (grounded)
socket.
It is mandatory to electrically ground
the Hot Air Generator. The manufac-
turer will not bear any responsibility
whatsoever if this accident prevention
measure is not taken.
When the power plug is plugged in,
the LED display of the device lights up
briey. At the same time, an internal
software query is performed.
The green dot on the display shows
that the Hot Air Generator is connected
to the mains supply.
7.2. Heating Up
To switch on the heater, push the but-
ton labeled “HEAT”. The set/actual
temperature will light up, signaling that
the heater is switched on.
At the same time, the yellow control
lamp will light up to indicate that the
device is heating up.
The upper, red display shows the actu-
al temperature in the Filling Chamber
with the air pump switched on, and the
lower, green display shows the desired
set temperature. The heating process
is completed when the set value is
equal to the actual value. The heating
process can take up to 5 minutes de-
pending upon the chosen temperature.
After the heating process is completed,
the temperature is constantly main-
tained at the set value. The luminous
intensity of the yellow control lamp
corresponds to the intensity of the
heating process.
For technical reasons the tem-
perature in the Filling Cham-
ber cannot be measured dur-
ing vaporization. During operation the
temperature is measured at the heat
exchanger. The display indicates the
reference values for the attached Fill-
ing Chamber with the air pump
switched on.

9.3.4. Disposable Lip Piece for
Hygienic Use
The Lip Piece, which is available as an
accessory, will be delivered brand new
and in a low-germ, but not fully-sterile
state.
The Lip Piece is equipped with
a check valve. This check
valve reduces the danger of a
potential contamination inside the
Valve Balloon by preventing breathing
into the Valve Balloon.
The Lip Piece is put on the Mouthpiece,
slid until stop and is then ready for op-
eration. The Valve Balloon with Mouth-
piece and the Lip Piece may be used by
only one person.
A Lip Piece may be used for max. 4
hours after initial operation if it is un-
damaged and clean. Afterwards, it
must be disposed of in the household
waste and a new Lip Piece must be
used due to hygienic reasons.
Every further use beyond this or the
use of damaged and/or contaminated
products respectively is the user‘s re-
sponsibility.
We assume no liability if this recom-
mendation is ignored.

10.2. Cleaning and Maintenance
Mouthpiece, Valve and Filling
Chamber
For hygienic reasons, the SOLID
VALVE component parts (Valve Bal-
loon with Mouthpiece and Filling
Chamber) should be cleaned at least
once every two weeks. To prevent
any transfer of infectious germs, the
Valve Balloon and Mouthpiece should
be used only by one person, and not
shared by multiple individuals. The
component parts should be cleaned
regularly to guarantee proper function-
ing and a clean taste. For hygienic rea-
sons, a thorough cleaning is required
whenever the SOLID VALVE is to be
used by another individual.
The Balloon should be replaced when-
ever the Valve is cleaned. For manual
cleaning use rubbing alcohol with pa-
per or cotton towels or dishwashing
liquid with warm water.

Chamber Insert are too small for that
and might get lost in a dishwasher. Be-
fore assembling allow all component
parts to dry properly.
Do not immerse any plastic
components in ethanol or al-
cohol for longer than an hour.
Extended contact with ethanol or alco-
hol may lead to discoloration or em-
brittlement of plastic parts.
