\n
The legendary Volcano vaporizer was released now two decades ago, way back in 1999. The Volcano Classic<\/a> still enjoys strong sales even today with nearly no changes being made to the original design. The Volcano Digit<\/a> was subsequently released a few years back with a more modern twist, and the new Volcano Hybrid was released just this year with some major adjustments.<\/div>\n
\n

With a new dynamic heating system, Bluetooth app integration, and large price tag, is the Volcano Hybrid worth the addition cost? Check out our comparison of the Volcano Hybrid vs. Volcano Classic here in our review to help determine the best desktkop vape<\/a> for you!<\/p>\n

Volcano Hybrid vs Volcano Classic\"Volcano<\/h2>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n


\n<\/a>\"VolcanoTemperature Flexibility<\/h3>\n
\n

Both devices have complete temperature control, the Volcano Classic<\/a> adjusting via rotating dial while the Volcano Hybrid<\/a> can be adjusted on the device in individual degree increments or with the wireless application. Sure they both cover a similar temperature range of 40\u00b0C-230\u00b0C, or 104\u00b0F-446\u00b0F, however the full and accurate control of the Volcano Hybrid can\u2019t be matched by the relatively inaccurate guesstimation of the temperature dial.<\/p>\n

The new Volcano Hybrid also has much quicker heating, taking less than 45 seconds while the Volcano Classic really only starts to shine after it has had 3-5 minutes to properly warm up.<\/p>\n

To add to that, the in-depth settings found on the Volcano Hybrid in the app offers a wide array of functions and heating options which can yield you awesome results vapor quality-wise! Point for the Volcano Hybrid here!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n


\n<\/a>\"VolcanoVapor Quality<\/h3>\n
\n

The Volcano Classic set the standard for the better part of a decade in terms of vapor quality. With purely convection heating, the flavor is solid with great extraction and top-notch density, however, the new and improved dynamic heating found on the Volcano Hybrid really sets the new standard. Not to mention that the optional Volcano Filling Chamber Reducer<\/a> makes the Hybrid a viable option for those looking to vape solo.<\/p>\n

With the new Volcano Hybrid Filling Chamber<\/a>, extraction is even more complete, vapor density is better, and with fine-tuning, the flavor is much better. To add to that, you have the versatility of the whip alongside the Volcano vaporizer bag<\/a> system, which is something that the Volcano Classic doesn\u2019t have. Both are well capable of vaporizing wax with the help of a Volcano concentrate pad<\/a>, but in this regard the Hybrid still manages to eke out the Classic as well.<\/p>\n

By no means is the Volcano Classic a slouch, even by today\u2019s standards, but we can see why Storz & Bickel favors the new dynamic heating system, and the Volcano Hybrid definitely takes the point in the vapor quality aspect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

\"VolcanoEase of Use<\/h3>\n
\n

Both units are quite simple to use, designed for both veterans and beginners alike. They both function in a similar way and both yield great results. Cleaning is very similar on both units and it\u2019s hard to pick a winner between the two in this aspect.<\/p>\n

There are more settings and features to fiddle with on the Volcano Hybrid, however, there is a mild learning curve associated with it all. We give neither device a clear win in this category.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"VolcanoDiscreetness<\/h3>\n

Both the Volcano Classic Vaporizer<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and Volcano Hybrid<\/span> look like some new-fangled, strange Sci-Fi tech when in use. I mean really, think of a single thing on earth that fills some strange bags with a cloudy mixture, all coming out of some shiny metallic cone.<\/p>\n

Obviously, since they\u2019re both devices meant to be used at home, you won\u2019t have to worry about strange looks and whatnot from people on the streets, but these two units are probably the least stealthy thing you can think of aside from just taking a thick rip from a water pipe. No winner here!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"Volcano<\/h3>\n

Overall Experience<\/h3>\n

They\u2019re both great devices and there\u2019s a reason the Volcano Classic<\/a><\/span> has enjoyed the success it has. With that being said, the Volcano Hybrid is a clear improvement in almost every form.<\/p>\n

Its heat-up time is much better, the temperature control is far more versatile and effective, the vapor quality is better across the board, the wireless function provides great function, and the ability to use a whip for direct-draw really makes the Volcano Hybrid a no-brainer \u2013 if you have the cash to dump.<\/p>\n

If you already have a Volcano, then it\u2019s up to you if you want to upgrade. Is it $700 better? Certainly not. With the Easy Valve replacement set<\/a>, these things last a lifetime and perform at the top of the game but the Volcano Hybrid<\/a> really does have a clear performance and overall experience edge over the Classic.<\/p>\n

For those who want to save a bit of cash instead, we do recommend checking our Volcano Classic review<\/a> as it discusses the finer details of the device.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking at a Volcano and have the cash to dump, we say go for it \u2013 either you\u2019ll love it or you\u2019ll really enjoy it at worst! We love the new Volcano Hybrid and Storz & Bickel<\/a> really made all the improvements we wanted to see in the existing models. A great device indeed!<\/p>\n
