I know this question has come up a lot, "why is the Volcano the 'best' and most expensive vaporizer?" so I wrote an e-mail to Storz & Bickel asking them to compare it to other vapes like the V Tower Extreme and Purple Days in particular. Here is the response I got from S&B:



Dear Volcano Owner ,



thank you for your mail and thank you for the enthusiasm for our product.

We are all pleased, that you are happy with our VOLCANO â?? that is most important!



As the VOLCANO company, of course, we always monitor the market for competitors, but luckily there is no serious competitor so far.

We are very proud of our products and we can honestly say that there is no better vaporizer on the market.

I note down some arguments in favour of the VOLCANO (hoping it does not sound too blatant, but it is all true and honest)



You were asking for the differences to other products, generally the VOLCANO is made in Germany and it is of outstanding quality that last for years. (I donâ??t think that any lifetime warranties (V Tower ) are serious, but time will tellâ?¦)



The VOLCANO is built as a medical grade device, with pinpoint accuracy. The temperature accuracy of the CLASSIC or DIGIT is unmatched by other products.

The set up for effective vaporization requires a strong pump for constant air flow, a heat exchanger to heat up air to the desired temperature and of course accurate temperature control.

Please see http://www.storz-bickel.com/download...r_Digit_A3.pdf for a technical drawing.

Whip systems are not providing a constant air flow, leading to the danger of increased temperature and finally combustion, because as you suck from the whip, temperature rises (you might know from a cigarette: when you inhale, it starts glowing > that means temperature goes up). You might attach a silicone tube to the EASY VALVE filling chamber (= whip system), but this is not as good as the balloon system. A whip system if used strong or long enough always bears the danger of self-combustion of the plant material. The balloon has the advantage that during vaporization you are not in contact with heat or electricity.



Pumping the enriched air into the balloon guarantees that air flow is constant and temperature too. All the â??balloon systemâ?ť I know working with a fan (= not enough pressure) instead of a good pump, so in most of the cases performance is unsatisfying and vaporization is ineffective. Talking about temperature, for connoisseurs a reliable temperature is of importance, because with a certain temperature you might just get the â??portfolio of compounds out of your herbs that you like. In the medical research this is also a very important point as they want to have controlled temperature to be able to have reliable parameters for their studies. The VOLCANO as the standard for scientific research is a good testimonial too, I believe.

I canâ??t really tell, if the Purple Days is more effective, as I must admit that I donâ??t know the product, but I assume that there would be more â??spread the wordâ?ť testimonials if it is outstanding.



I hope that this a proposal that meets your interests.



Kind regards from Germany
