Storz & Bickel Volcano Medic 2, Tabletop Vaporiser

The Volcano 2 — known internationally as the Storz & Bickel Volcano Medic 2 — is the gold standard in desktop vaporisation, purpose-built for patients administering prescribed medicinal cannabis at home or in a clinical setting. Its patented hybrid heating system fills a removable balloon or tube with clean, terpene-rich vapour, giving patients precise, repeatable dosing without combustion. Backed by German engineering and full medical device certification, it’s the device of choice for patients who value consistency and control over every session.

Key Features

• Patented hybrid convection + conduction heating — evenly vaporises dried herb without burning it, preserving flavour and cannabinoid content.
• Precise digital temperature control — adjustable from 104°F to 410°F (40°C–210°C) with a clear touch display showing actual vs. target temperature.
• Fast heat-up time — reaches 180°C in around 40 seconds, so sessions can start almost immediately.
• Choice of Balloon or Tube inhalation — fill the 1.25L Medic Valve Balloon for independent, on-demand inhalation, or use the Tube Kit for continuous draws without needing the pump.
• High bioavailability — up to approximately 50% cannabinoid bioavailability via the Valve Balloon method, and around 43% via the Tube Kit, based on manufacturer data.
• Ceramic-coated filling chamber — a screw-mounted chamber with 360° hose rotation for easy, even loading and cleaning.
• Certified medical device — complies with DIN EN 60601, the safety standard for medical electrical equipment.
• Suitable for flower and liquid cannabinoids — accommodates dried, milled cannabis flower as well as cannabinoids dissolved in alcohol.

FAQ

Is the Volcano 2 a certified medical device? Yes. The Volcano Medic 2 is classified as a medical device and complies with DIN EN 60601, the safety standard for medical electrical equipment.

Should I use the balloon or the tube? The Valve Balloon lets you fill up and inhale independently at your own pace, with roughly 50% cannabinoid bioavailability. The Tube Kit delivers continuous draws straight from the unit, with roughly 43% bioavailability — useful for patients who prefer a steady, direct inhale.
