New for 2026, Storz & Bickel has released a GREEN Volcano Hybrid. The Evergreen Edition Volcano Hybrid features an iridescent green finish with a beautiful metallic blue-and-gold sheen.
The finish on the new volcano vaporizer resembles high-end automotive enamel.
The new Green Volcano Classic came out earlier this year. The Green Volcano Hybrid becomes the third color option for the latest Volcano desktop vaporizer. It officially releases on December 5, 2025.

The Volcano Vaporizer by Storz & Bickel is one of the most historic and legendary vapes ever. Blowing big balloons of bountiful vapor, the Volcano is often the iconic status symbol of cannabis vaporists. It’s still sought after and recognized today as the “King of Desktop Vaporizers.”
In 2019, Storz & Bickel added the Volcano Hybrid to their lineup of popular vaporizers. The Volcano Hybrid adds conduction to the heating method, resulting in thicker vapor and a more satisfying experience. The Volcano Hybrid can also be used with a whip and includes complete digital temperature control and Bluetooth app integration.
The Hybrid Volcano is a considerable upgrade over the Volcano Classic. Its hybrid heating produces thicker vapor and faster extraction than the classic version. Vapor connoisseurs will appreciate the vapor upgrade!
The Green, Black, or Silver Volcano Hybrid retails for $699.

Hybrid Features
Benefits: Amazing vapor quality. Thick, tasty clouds from a bag or with a whip. Like a Mighty on steroids!
Features: Hybrid convection/conduction vapor, available in stainless or onyx black, includes whip and bags, touch-screen, Bluetooth app integration
Heating and Temperature Info
The NEW Volcano Hybrid heats up in 40 seconds, and the dry herb chamber is now HEATED for denser vapor and quicker extractions! Storz & Bickel left a few gems in the sand with the Volcano Hybrid. Aside from the new touchscreen and whip attachment, Storz has cut the heat-up time from FIVE MINUTES down to FORTY SECONDS. That’s a massive improvement over the previous Volcano vaporizer.
The herb chamber of the Volcano Hybrid is also HEATED now! While previous Volcano vaporizers were pure convection heating, the new Hybrid Volcano heats the chamber in addition to the convection airflow. The heated bowl drastically improves vapor production and extraction speed. With the new heated bowl, the first bag at 390F is like a bag of milk.
The Volcano Classic heats up in about 5 minutes but needs about 8 or 10 minutes to reach a full heat soak. The new Volcano Hybrid is hot and produces vapor in about 45 seconds. This is a HUGE upgrade for Volcano users. Overall, there are things to like about both the Volcano Hybrid and the Volcano Classic.
Volcano Hybrid vs. Volcano Classic
Both Volcano vaporizers will look great on your desk and significantly upgrade your smoke sesh! But their vapor IS NOT THE SAME. Anyone who tells you otherwise is smoking the wrong kind of weed.
The added conduction heat makes the vapor thicker, and imparts a more satisfying flavor. The hybrid convection-conduction heating extracts more quickly than convection alone, making the Volcano Hybrid 2X more potent than the Volcano Classic.
There is NO MODIFICATION that will make the Volcano Classic perform like the Volcano Hybrid.
Volcano Hybrid’s Significant Upgrades
- The Hybrid heats up in 44 seconds. The Classic takes 4.5 minutes.
- Volcano Hybrid uses convection and conduction. Classic is only convection.
- Volcano Hybrid can be used with a whip or a bag. Classic is the bag only.
- Volcano Hybrid has digital temperature control. Classic is a 1-10 analog knob.
- Volcano Hybrid has a fully functional mobile app with customizable workflows. Classic has a knob.
- The Hybrid wall plug and wire are fully detachable for clean storage. The classic wall plug is fixed/permanent.
- The Hybrid bowl locks onto the Volcano with a twist. Classic bowl just sits on top.
- Hybrid can extract a full bowl in a single bag. Classic cannot.
- Volcano Hybrid can connect directly to a bong.
The Hybrid Volcano extracts faster, tastes better, gets me higher, and is more fun.

Vapor Performance (Bag & Whip)
This is really where the new Volcano shines. The added conduction bowl increases the extraction, meaning more flavor and density in the vapor.
In the review video above, I compare the Volcano Hybrid with the Classic Volcano side by side. Even with the Classic Volcano at a slightly higher temperature, the vapor from the Hybrid was significantly denser and much more flavorful!
Even with faster extraction, the 2nd bag from the same bowl in the Hybrid is more pleasing than the first bag in the Classic at the same temperature (390°F).
The vapor from the Hybrid Volcano is somehow drier than that from the Classic Volcano. I don’t fully understand how, but that’s how it feels, and I am not alone in this assessment.
The old-school Volcano heating relies on pure convection, and the resulting hot air produces excessively dry vapor.
If you’ve ever tried the old Volcano and hated it, you should try the Volcano Hybrid. It’s so much better!
Volcano Hybrid Mobile App
I’m usually not a fan of mobile apps, but Storz has won me over with this one.
In addition to the expected features, such as temperature settings and LED customizations, Volcano Hybrid has integrated Workflows and Iterations.
A Workflow is a custom set of instructions for your Volcano Hybrid to follow.
The app allows you to build out and save these customized settings.
Because the Volcano Hybrid heats so quickly, you can use these Workflows to create a SUPERBAG.
A SUPERBAG is a bag that is part low-temp vapor, part medium-temp vapor, and two parts high-temp vapor. This completely extracts the bowl while producing a very thick, very flavorful vapor.
Volcano Replacement Bags
The Volcano Bag/Balloon has changed over the years, and replacement bags are now simpler than ever.
Replacement bags are sold in sets of 6 with pre-installed easy valves. Depending on how hard you vape your Volcano, they will cost you about $50 every year or two. These bags are compatible with both the Hybrid and Classic Volcano.
You can also buy the Volcano bag material as a tube. This is the same food-safe turkey bag material but uncut and unattached.
Not all Volcano valves are compatible with new bags. One valve from every new Volcano replacement bag set will have a threaded ring—this is the Volcano valve that can be reused with new bags.

Volcano Vaporizer on Amazon?
Officially, Amazon does not allow the sale of vaporizers. However, that doesn’t always stop sellers from selling Volcanos and Volcano Accessories.
Amazon may be a great place to pick up replacement bags or other accessories, but I don’t recommend purchasing vaporizers on Amazon.
Amazon doesn’t regulate or police 3rd party sellers, which means counterfeit and fake Volcano and accessories could be sold as the real thing.
I advise sticking to official S&B resellers like Planet of the Vapes or Vapor.com. These vape shops are known and trusted. You can even buy directly from Storz & Bickel.

Volcano Hybrid vs Ball Vapes
Dry herb vaporizer technology is rapidly changing, and ball vapes are at the forefront of the evolution. Ball vapes are designed for cannabis connoisseurs who demand the highest levels of efficiency, airflow, flavor, and extraction. Ball vapes are typically used with a bong or cooling glassware.
The Volcano Hybrid is the King of Traditional Desktop Vaporizers, but the Modern Ball Vape is winning the reach test of purists and high-dosage users
Get a Volcano Hybrid if you’re looking for a refined desktop vaporizer to share with casual cannabis friends or use as your main vaporizer.
Get a ball vape if you want to reach the highest possible level, while enjoying an unmatched terpene experience.

Is the Volcano Hybrid Worth It?
Yes! The Volcano Hybrid is a high-quality vaporizer with an exceptional vaping experience. It’s a healthier way to consume cannabis. The Volcano Hybrid will get you higher off .5g than smoking 1g.
Is the Volcano Hybrid the “Best Vaporizer”?
Nah. It’s a great device, but I don’t subscribe to the single best device philosophy. The Volcano Hybrid is the best vaporizer of its kind, but there aren’t many other bag & whip desktop vapes.
Can the Volcano Hybrid combust?
No, at least not under normal operating conditions.
Can Volcano Hybrid vaporize dabs/concentrates?
Yes! Storz & Bickel sells an optional stainless steel mesh pad to use for vaping concentrates without dry herb. Dabs can also be added on top of a bowl of dry herb. This is referred to as “TWAXing” and can be a great way to boost your high.
How much weed can the bowl hold?
The Volcano Hybrid bowl is an easy half gram. If you pack it, it’ll hold a whole gram. It needs .3-.5 to hit its sweet spot. There’s an optional chamber reducer that reduces the bowl size to about 0.2 g.
Hey Troy,
I was thinking about getting a volcano and while doing my research, I just found your channel tonight and immediately got hooked. Very nice, thumbs up!
Considering that it will be my first vaporizer I was thinking about getting a used volcano classic with all the accessories and the solid valve kit from our local craigslist equivalent. The set would come in about just shy of 200 bucks including shipping and at first glance that seemed like a pretty good deal to me.
However, since I’m not at all experienced in that field I would love to hear your opinion about this.
Cheers and thank you
A new-found fan :D
Hope you post an update about the aluminum dust in the hybrid. Is it a health hazard? are they really holding us responsible for that? shouldn’t their product be stupid proof?
Hi Troy,
your yt review of the Volcano Hybrid is set to private, we can’t watch it.
Please make it available again.
Would love to see more volcano content, especially after the bowl replacement. I love my volcano and mighty, but unfortunately I am strictly using dabs for economical reasons so I don’t have to go outside where the covid is . I have a little stash that I’m hanging onto tho, and would love to sesh along with the volcano while you do another video..
