Volcano Classic vaporizer

The Volcano Classic is an iconic desktop vaporizer manufactured by Storz & Bickel. Originally developed in 1996 by Markus Storz in Tuttlingen, Germany, it was the first of its kind to be patented with a detachable balloon system. In 2002, Jürgen Bickel joined the company as a partner, leading to the formal establishment of Storz & Bickel GmbH & Co. KG. Known for its high quality and durability, it is often referred to as the 'gold standard' in the industry.

Production remains centralized in Tuttlingen, Germany, which is a major hub for medical technology. In 2018, the brand reached a significant milestone when it was acquired by the Canadian cannabis giant Canopy Growth Corporation for approximately €145 million. Today, it continues to be a flagship product within Canopy Growth's extensive portfolio of vaporization devices, maintaining its reputation for medical-grade standards and precision engineering.
