STORZ & BICKEL is the world‘s first and leading manufacturer of medically approved Vaporizer for a non-toxic, efficient and validated application of cannabinoids.
The company started more than 20 years ago, when Markus Storz developed the first prototype of today‘s world-renowned VOLCANO Vaporizer in 1996. The company STORZ & BICKEL was born when Jürgen Bickel became a partner in 2002. Being progressive and having a vision for innovative products in a worldwide growing market are core elements to which the current success of STORZ & BICKEL can be attributed.
STORZ & BICKEL Vaporizers are 'Made in Germany', more precisely 'Made in Tuttlingen', in the 9000m² S&B Vapor Factory. The S&B Vapor Factory is a trend-setting symbol for further potential growth and with its state-of-the-art workstations and open space concept reflects the open company culture both internally and externally.
Vaporization of Cannabis Flower:
For vaporization, cannabis flowers, cannabis extracts, or substances such as THC or CBD are heated in a vaporizer. Cannabinoids generally vaporize at temperatures above 180°C (356°F).
At a temperature of 210°C (410°F), THCA, CBDA, and the terpenes are almost completely dissipated without combustion taking place.
In the vaporization method, the active ingredients are converted into an aerosol, which is inhaled by patients. The droplets are absorbed by the alveoli and thus enter the blood circulation relatively quickly; the onset of effect takes place after 1–2 minutes. In the case of inhalation, the effect can last for 2–4 hours.
The world’s first medically approved Vaporizers for the inhalative application of cannabinoids are the VOLCANO MEDIC 2, and the MIGHTY+ MEDIC from STORZ & BICKEL GmbH. The Vaporizers are developed and manufactured in Tuttlingen, Germany.
The VOLCANO has been used in cannabis research for more than 15 years.
