Volcano Hybrid vs Volcano Digital

Sharing is caring!

Volcano Hybrid Review has the same basic shape as Volcano Digital and Volcano Classic before. There are many significant differences between hybrid and digital, but one area where they are strikingly similar is in their design. The basic shape has been the same since the launch of the Volcano Classic in 2001..

Vaping method

The main difference between Digital and Hybrid is that the latter can only use whips and bags, while Digital is only bags. It gives users more options on how they want to vape, which is great. Even better is the fact that bags used with Digital can also be used with Hybrid.

Heating style

Digital uses pure convection heating, but Hybrid uses a convection / wire combination. Provides more efficient heating, more complete evaporation, and tastier vapor than convection heating alone.

Technology

Pax 3 review should come as no surprise that the hybrid is more advanced than the digital, although it may be surprising how advanced the hybrid actually is. Hybrid has a modern touch screen interface that eliminates the need for buttons, although the buttons provide more instantaneous response. Hybrid is also Bluetooth-enabled, so it can be controlled by the S&B smart phone app. In addition to controlling the various functions of the hybrid, the app also allows users to program heating and inflation profiles that give them an unprecedented level of customization.

Although the Volcano Digital is still an excellent desktop evaporator after all these years, the Hybrid is clearly superior. It preserves all that is good about digital, while adding many new features that give users a greater degree of customization.

Cleaning and maintenance

Hybrid is a fairly low maintenance device because the only parts you need to clean regularly are the screen and the filling chamber. You can clean both easily and quickly with the included cleaning brush to remove dust from any residue. Eventually you will need to replace the bags and tubes, you can know when it is necessary if they start to discolor, get dirty and break. When that happens, the quality of the flavor drops and they are more likely to pop, so don’t hold them for longer than necessary.

Performance

The hybrid heats up in less than ninety seconds, and the balloon also inflates quickly, but the fan is very high. One of the major improvements of the Hybrid is its improved warm-up times because it never takes longer than ninety seconds to get up to any temperature. Inflating the bag is also super fast. Unfortunately, it is accompanied by the roar of the fan, which is surprisingly loud. With over ten years of improvement since the last volcano, it is surprising that they have not managed to make the fan quieter.
