Choose it for the correct EASY VALVE system

The manufacturer names the VOLCANO CLASSIC, VOLCANO DIGIT and VOLCANO HYBRID among the compatible devices. The balloon set belongs to the EASY VALVE system. The filling chamber suited to the model and the correct balloon connection matter together: check your existing assembly before ordering, particularly if you use older accessories or components left over from a previous set.

SOLID VALVE and EASY VALVE are separate valve systems. This set is not listed as a SOLID VALVE replacement balloon, and a similar intended use is not a sound basis for assuming that the components are interchangeable. On a HYBRID device, the product is for balloon use; tube use requires different accessories. Checking compatibility therefore starts with identifying the device and the system you actually use.

• VOLCANO CLASSIC: with the EASY VALVE filling chamber appropriate for the model.
• VOLCANO DIGIT: with the EASY VALVE filling chamber appropriate for the model.
• VOLCANO HYBRID: with its own filling chamber, for EASY VALVE balloon use.

Balloons approximately 60 cm long, with mouthpieces

All 6 balloons in the package are the version approximately 60 cm long. This length is the manufacturer's stated balloon specification, rather than a measure of the set's volume or the time one filling will last. Monitor the balloon's actual fill level during use and switch the pump off when the desired level is reached. The advantage of this prepared pack is that the next unit you take out is a balloon of the same nominal length.

Storz & Bickel describes the EASY VALVE balloon material as food-safe, taste-neutral and heat-resistant. The thin balloon material still requires careful handling: attach and remove the connection by holding the appropriate components rather than pulling the balloon. The mouthpiece has a separate function; after filling, the balloon's contents can be used through it.

Preparing and filling a new balloon

Before using a new balloon, also clean the filling chamber according to your device's instructions. Inspect the new unit, then prepare the VOLCANO according to your particular model. The balloon set does not change the device's settings: choosing the temperature and preparing the filling chamber remain part of operating the vaporizer.

The following steps summarise the sequence for using the balloon. Check how to fit the filling chamber and operate the controls in your own operating instructions. Handle warm device components only at the designated grip points and provide a suitable place for the hot filling chamber after removal.

1. Check the condition of the new balloon, valve and mouthpiece, and make sure the filling chamber is clean and appropriate for the device.
2. Prepare and heat the VOLCANO according to its own instructions. Wait until the set temperature is reached.
3. Extend the balloon, place it vertically on the filling chamber and start the pump to fill the balloon.
4. Monitor filling and switch the pump off at the desired fill level. Then lift the balloon off the filling chamber.
5. Attach the mouthpiece to the balloon valve. Handle the removed filling chamber according to its instructions and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
6. Gently press the mouthpiece against your lips and draw steadily from the balloon. Do not blow back into the balloon.

Personal use and the hygiene replacement recommendation

For hygiene, the manufacturer recommends replacing the EASY VALVE balloon and mouthpiece approximately every 2 weeks. Treat this as a replacement recommendation rather than a guaranteed balloon lifespan. A condition check before use is still necessary: damage or visible dirt does not need to be ignored until the scheduled replacement date. Regular replacement is intended to provide a fresh personal unit for the existing device.

A balloon and mouthpiece are intended for one person's use and must not be shared between several people. With several users, keep personal units separate and also clean the filling chamber according to the manufacturer's instructions. The 6-piece pack may make it easier to organise separate units and spares, but does not itself replace this attention to care.

It can be useful to record when a new balloon entered use. Keep the date separate from the thin balloon material, for example at its storage location or in a simple note. This makes it easy to track which unit is in use and which remains a spare. The record and current condition together help you assess when replacement is needed.

Replacing the balloon and cleaning the filling chamber are separate tasks

For the EASY VALVE balloon and mouthpiece, the manufacturer describes hygiene replacement rather than regular maintenance work. The new units in this set therefore replace the used balloon and mouthpiece. The filling chamber, by contrast, is a separate component that must be kept clean according to its own instructions. Treat these two procedures separately, because they fulfil different roles in the system you use.

Before cleaning the device, switch it off and unplug it, and allow the filling chamber to cool before disassembly. Choose the cleaning method according to the particular model's instructions. Before fitting a new balloon, the chamber must be clean; when use begins, the assembly must be dry and free of cleaning-agent vapours.

If filling or use does not proceed as usual, check the filling chamber's correct fit and condition as well as the new balloon. The advantage of a ready-made replacement balloon is a fresh unit that is easy to take out, while you still need to handle the rest of the system correctly. If the cause of the problem is unclear, the checking steps in the device's instructions provide a more reliable point of reference.

Keeping the 6-piece set organised in storage

You can keep replacement balloons in a clean place where they will not come into contact with sharp objects or be subjected to accidental pressure. It is sensible to separate opened units and those in use from the spares still set aside. If each has its own place, it is easy to see before the next replacement which balloon goes with the personal mouthpiece and which unit you have prepared for use.

The number of pieces helps with planning but does not determine the replacement interval you need. Requirements may differ between one person keeping spares at home and several people using separate units. When ordering, start with the replacement balloons actually needed. Do not regard the set as covering a precalculated number of weeks or uses, because the manufacturer does not specify such a period for the product.

Frequently asked questions about the replacement set

Choosing the right accessory only requires clarifying a few key differences. Compare the prepared unit, the balloon that can be assembled with an adapter and the complete starting assembly according to their individual purposes.

Does each of the 6 balloons come with a mouthpiece?

Yes. The manufacturer's package list specifies 6 EASY VALVE balloons with mouthpieces, approximately 60 cm long. The set contains preassembled replacement units; the vaporizer and its filling chamber needed for use are separate components.

Is this the balloon version with an adapter?

This is the ready-to-use EASY VALVE Replacement Set. If you want to cut new balloon material to size and fit it yourself, consider the EASY VALVE adapter solution for that purpose. The practical difference between the two products is how you carry out the next balloon replacement.

Is the set enough to use a VOLCANO?

The replacement set complements an existing, appropriate EASY VALVE assembly. The device and the filling chamber for its model are needed to fill the balloon. Check these existing components before buying, so your order replaces the accessory you actually need.
