How Much Is The Volcano Vaporizer?

The Volcano Vaporizer, a desktop vaporizer used to fill balloons with vapor, comes in two distinctly different styles. There is the Digit, which has a digital temperature control system with an LED display. And then there’s the Classic, the original Volcano vape, which has a simpler temperature control system that replaces the Digit’s digital display with a simple knob/dial that is turned to adjust the temperature.

While both vaporizers, temperature controls aside, are nearly identical, they differ greatly in price.

Retail Volcano Cost

The Volcano Classic retails direct from its manufacturer for $479 (USD) and its higher-tech sibling, the Digit, has an MSRP of $599. Obviously, these aren’t the two cheapest vaporizers on the market, but as reviewers would have you believe, they’re definitely among the best.

The Volcano’s retail price tag has hardly changed over the years since its release. While many vape manufacturers will reduce the MSRP of their products over time, with costs often being significantly higher around their initial release, Storz & Bickel has seen little to no need to reduce the cost over time. While this may come as a surprise, the Volcano, years after it was introduced, still fetches one of the highest prices on the market. This is, in part, due to its high level of perceived quality.

Buy The Volcano

You can buy authentic Volcano vaporizers from this online store. They’re an authorized dealer so you can be certain that you are indeed buying an authentic Volcano and not some cheap knockoff. At the time of reporting, VapeWorld, the online store we just linked to where you can buy Volcano vapes, is including a free G Slim Liquid Vaporizer and free Marley Natural Glass & Walnut Spoon Pipe with every order of the Volcano Vaporizer.

Beware The Cheap Counterfeits

While you may be able to buy one for less, there’s a chance what you’re looking at is a counterfeit. While it might come as a surprise, manufacturers, or at least one, have managed to produce a cheap knockoff of the Digital Volcano.

By some accounts, these cheap knockoffs, the fakes, are sometimes sold on websites like eBay, Craigslist, and even Amazon. While their low price tag might very well appeal to some, the reality is that they’re inferior products. Not only are they potentially unsafe for their users, they also lack proper warranty coverage. So in the case that something goes wrong, which could easily happen, Storz & Bickel’s 3-year manufacturer’s warranty protection will not be of use as it’s not applicable to counterfeit Volcano vaporizers. With that said, you may save some cash buying a fake, but there’s a reasonably good chance that you’ll regret it in the long run. Simply put, we don’t recommend it. Go with an authentic Volcano if it’s a Volcano that you want – not a cheap knockoff.

How To Spot A Fake Volcano Vaporizer

If you’re trying to spot a fake Volcano Vaporizer, here’s a tip: if the price sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If the seller claims that they’re unloading excess inventory from a vape shop that just closed or anything of the sort, there’s a chance that they’re lying through their teeth.

To The Cloud Vapor Store, an online retailer of vaping products, bought a counterfeit Volcano Digit from a Chinese manufacturer known as Shenzhen Newton Technology Co., Ltd in a bid to help consumers spot the fakes. They put together a helpful video on how to determine whether a Volcano is indeed authentic, or just another cheap knockoff. We’ve attached the video below.
