Vaporizers Classic and Digital

In almost any kind of tool or equipment be it for home use or industrial use, accuracy comes at a price. From factory CNC equipment to High Definition TV this is true. With vaporizers this is also true but with products such as vaporizers where accuracy is vital consumers still see the value in paying a higher price for a premium product. The Volcano vaporizers by Storz and Bickel are probably the most accurate on the market and also among the best made: this comes from the technology and research put into creating the volcano vaporizers and also the quality of the materials and components used.

It is the case with both the Classic or Analog Volcano Vaporizers that a lot of thought and design and great quality materials have gone into them. Perhaps with the Digital Volcano Vaporizers just slightly more technology goes in though. This isn’t to say that the classic isn’t one of the most advanced vaporizers available though. The classic vaporizer has been available since 2000 and has been developed since then to improve the quality and the accuracy.

Accuracy in vaporizers is important because you need to be able to set the right temperature for whatever plant or ingredient you are vaporizing to get the temperature that ingredient needs to vaporize but not burn: this is different for different plants. If plants are overheated then you will get smoke which is bad for you and may be cacogenic, too low and you won’t get the same level of vapors and may waste your biomass.

The main thing that sets volcano vaporizers apart from other vaporizers is the same thing that sets the digital apart from the classic volcano vaporizer. The classic has an accuracy of 5 degrees Celsius the digital by contrast has an incredible accuracy of 2 degrees.

The classic’s temperature is controlled differently as well to the digital and the digital is a little bit easier to set to the temperature you want. The classic uses a simple dial that you can set in seconds but which is difficult to make sure you have the exact temperature set. With the digital you use a digital display to set the temperature you want to the nearest degree and it will show you the current temperature as it warms up as well so you know when it is ready and how long you have to wait, you can even choose to display Celsius or Fahrenheit.

To look at the digital and classic vaporizers are very similar apart from their controls with their sleek cone shape in medical quality steel, but they both have separate on and off switches for their heating functions and for their fans. Inside they are similar but with a few differences; the Digital vaporizer uses an electronic temperature control system that is what gives the higher accuracy while the classic uses a bi-metallic regulator. Both vaporizer designs use a ceramic hearting block to give a equal temperature right around the biomass and to avoid having to use plastics that can release smoke when heated.
