The Volcano Classic has set the standard in the Vaporisation industry for the past 5 years now. The decisive criterion that guaranties the Volcano's long life span is the uncompromising selection of material and the high quality of workmanship. Alongside the Volcano's durability, is its user friendliness, the maximum safety for the user and the extraordinary efficiency and cost effectiveness.

We are convinced about this quality:
For the 5 year anniversary of the Volcano Classic Vaporizer, Storz & Bickel will continue to extend the warranty throughout the entire year of 2006. For our 2006, 5 year anniversary we will repair all warranty issues including the Volcano Classic´s where the 3 year warranty has expired. Please contact us for more information.

The herb mill, with its extra sharp "teeth" will simplify the preparation of the plant material as well as improve the cost effectiveness of the Volcano because the finer the material is ground, the larger the surface area becomes and the more aroma and active ingredients will be released.

An additional benefit: The smaller plant material can be stirred better before a renewed balloon filling. Simply take the material out of the filling chamber before reusing it, stir it and refill it, thereby refreshing and enlarging the surface of the already hot air streamed through materials; an important factor for the optimized use of herbs and their aroma and active ingredients.

Since the start of production we set the highest quality standards for our product. A quality which our customers benefit from in the long-term has inspired us to the following warranty campaign:
In celebration of the 5-year jubilee we are assuming any warranty issue, of devices over the normal 3-year warranty, free of charge. This special offer is valid until Dec. 31th, 2006.

If, for example, you do indeed own a 5-year old Volcano Classic with a technical defect, due to material-, processing- or construction failures, please feel free to contact us.

Due to an increase in sales and a decrease in production costs we are able to pass the savings on to our customers while maintaining and even improving our high standards of quality. We are now pleased to offer the Volcano vaporizer for the attractive price of � 398,-

We now provide a Quick Start Manual to facilitate the comprehension of Volcano�s operating mode. Please note that the Quick Start Manual is an amendment to the Operating Manual but does not replace it.

We proudly announce the opening of our service and distribution center, Storz & Bickel America, INC. We are pleased to enable our American customers to deal directly with us in the United States. The new office is located on 1155 5th Street, #104, Oakland, CA 94607-2501, USA.

The Volcano received recognition when the Dr.-Rudolf-Eberle-Prize was awarded, the prize for innovation of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

This prize has been awarded on an annual basis since 1985 to small and medium-sized industrial and craft firms who have successfully implemented outstanding technical innovations. The prize committee uses the criteria of technical progress, special entrepreneurial achievement and the economic success of the innovation to make its decision.

On 17 November, Dr. Walter Döring, the Minister of Economic Affairs and Vice Minister-President of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg, introduced the Volcano and handed over the recognition at Stuttgart's House of Commerce. The jury invited and awarded 18 companies out of 104 competitors from all over Baden-Wuerttemberg to publicly recognise their exemplary performance.

This recognition underscores the inventive and entrepreneurial achievement we put into developing and marketing the Volcano while providing us with the incentive to develop similarly innovative applications.

Storz & Bickel has been granted with the US-Patent No. 6,513,524 for the Volcano! On 4 February 2003 we have received the US-Patent for the Volcano vaporizer! With this certification the invention of Markus Storz is also protected in the USA, which confirms the uniqueness of the Volcano vaporizer with his simplicity of use, his high degree of safety and his particularly good efficiency.

In addition to the German Patent No. 198 03 376 which we received on 14 October 1999, the European Patent No. 0 933 093 has been granted on 17 September 2003. Therefore this unique invention is protected in the most important markets.

We now grant every buyer of a Volcano Classic three full years of guarantee. That also applies with retroactive effect for all previously manufactured Volcano Vaporizers, because satisfied customers are our top priority !

As an additional service we have also extended the right to return the purchased product from 2 to 4 weeks - that means that you have ample opportunity to test the Volcano!
