Volcano Vaporizer - The Aromatization of Food

Hyper-modern cooking

The revolutionary VOLCANO vaporizer enables its users to fully receive the many benefits that come with using this advanced system. Its state of the art technology allows you to experience the most efficient product from your raw materials. The idea of hyper-modern cooking is to deliver an explosion of flavor to dishes that you may be cooking. The unique methods used extracts, purifies and refines various aromas from a raw source of your choice. The VOLCANO is the top choice amongst chefs to enhance and fine-tune the balance of flavors within their meals.

Aroma techniques

The VOLCANO vaporizers main advantage it brings to the table is the pure scent it releases without imparting unpleasant flavors or chemicals that can be released from standard methods. This method of vaporization is called aromatization and is the purest method to achieve a great flavor. With the temperature range of the VOLCANO, the user can have the materials vaporized at a desired level to achieve specific flavor levels.

Aromatizing food

Arguably the most common culinary vaporization method to achieving a desired flavor within food is the satisfying aromas released by the VOLCANO vaporizer. There are an unlimited amount of foods that can be magnified in flavor but as an example you can imagine is crab meat. It is well-known that thyme and crab meat are a great combination flavor-wise so why not use the VOLCANO for this purpose. The food (crab meat) will be placed into an oven bag and once your thyme has filled the contents of the VOLCANO vaporizers balloon, you can release the aroma into the oven bag. While your crab meat is being cooked, the great thyme flavor will permeate the food to leave a great taste.

Reaching the gustatory nerves with the aroma pillow

The technique explained below is used to create an aroma filled environment for a guest enjoying their meal. This idea is used to slowly deliver a matching aroma around the guest during the meal which literally engulfs the guest in flavor. The VOLCANO vaporizer has a balloon-like feature which aroma is filled into and can serve as a dispenser. Once the pillow has filled completely it can have tiny holes punctured to release a small amount of aroma throughout the meal. This is perhaps a method based off of previous uses of flowers and candles to stimulate the sense while eating.

Volcano Vaporizer - Advantages of Vaporization

VOLCANO vaporizer benefits
-Efficiency
-Purity
-Scent

The VOLCANO Vaporization system releases both active ingredients and a variety of scents by vaporizing plant materials through hot air. While the plant material is being vaporized, a warm air surrounds the plants which causes their scents to be released, thus creating the different flavors. The VOLCANO vaporizer achieves this by raising the temperature of the plant material to a specific, safe level. After the temperature has been reached, the ingredients of the plant are released out of the vaporizer and can be inhaled for breathing benefits.

Vaporization vs. Combustion

Vaporization is by far a more safe and efficient means to releasing these ingredients. Combustion basically smokes or incenses to release certain ingredients in the plant material. This method has several disadvantages such as the carbonation of the plant material, which lets out an unavoidable toxic combustion by-product. This toxic carbon is very unhealthy for the human body and creates irritation within your respiratory tract, plus the odor this method gives off which is quite sickening as well.

The opposite of combustion is Vaporization, which releases these ingredients in a much more safe and healthy way. No irritability within your respiratory organs is felt due to the absence of dangerous carbon that is involved with the combustion method. Unlike combustion, no plant material is incinerated, which allows the plant to last longer and fill your chamber up multiple times. In addition to the health benefits of vaporizing, cost of these systems run at a more affordable price which gives you an economic benefit also.

How is the Volcano Vaporizer Different?

How is the Volcano Vaporizer different from all other herbal vaporizers? Well, if you can’t see that it is different then maybe you should stop reading now. For starters, it is shaped lke a…Volcano! Shocking isn’t it? Many box-type vaporizers like the original VaporBrothers vapporizer use a tube with a receptacle for the herbs making them two part units. The Volcano is also a two-piece design, but the people at Storz-Bickel have done things a little differently. Using a box-type vaporizer takes practice. Drawing speed makes a difference in how much heat the herbs are subjected to. This in turn means that sometimes too much heat can be created and thus smoke. The Volcano takes all of the guesswork out of the vaporization for you. Digital control makes sure that your tobacco or herbs are vaporized at the proper temperature and that all of the vapor is captured using an ingenious bag design. Basically it is a sport bottle top with a turkey bag attached. The vapor will last in these bags for a while, but fresh is always best in my experience.

Volcano Vaporizer Design

Vaporizers work in a number of different ways, but just about all of them work off the principle of convection heating. In simple terms a heating element alows hot air to be drawn over the tobacco or herbs, heating them to a point where vaporization occurs. This is the basic principal behind heating and cooling in many facets of our lives. Today much of the arguments that exist are about what kind of heating element is the “best” for vaporization. Many people believe that using a metal heating element is bad for your health or that a ceramic heating element is better. I am not a scientist so I really can’t say if one heating element is better for your health than another. I can tell you that I have tried all of them and I really can’t tell the difference.

Volcano Vaporizer

So, what is the skinny on the Volcano Vaporizer? It is the highest tech, coolest looking, and most functional of all of the herbal vaporizers on the market today. I have used many of the vaporizers on the market today and from days gone by. The VaporBrothers, Vapor Warez, Vapor Doc, Vapie, BC Vaporizer and some that I can’t even remember. Everyone seemed to have their own take on how to build a vaporizer. After all, many of these vaporizers are home-grown products that have been dreamt up in people’s minds and built in their garages. Many of them are still proven designs and work well for many years. I still have a VaporBrothers vaporizer that works like a charm. The Volcano Vaporizer however is in a league of its own. Let’s find out why.
