Updates: Firmware & App

The Volcano Hybrid connects via Bluetooth to the Storz & Bickel web app on your smartphone. The app is not required for operation but offers additional settings.

App features:

Temperature control - read and set temperature directly from your phone
Celsius/Fahrenheit toggle
Auto shut-off - customize the shut-off timer (factory setting: 30 min.)
LCD brightness - adjust standby dimming from 30 to 10 percent
Acoustic signal - enable/disable the beep when set temperature is reached
Booster temperature - set a temperature boost above the setpoint
Vibration alarm - enable/disable vibration notification on the device
Smartphone vibration - phone notification when target temperature is reached
Firmware updates - update device software through the app

To connect: activate Bluetooth on the Volcano Hybrid (display lights up), open the Storz & Bickel web app at storz-bickel.com/app/web, and select the device.

Browser Compatibility

The Storz & Bickel Web App relies on the Web Bluetooth API. Chrome (desktop and Android) works most reliably. Safari and Firefox have limited or no Web Bluetooth support - connection drops are possible there.

On iOS, Safari lacks native Web Bluetooth support. The app Bluefy (available in the App Store) serves as a workaround, providing a Web Bluetooth-capable browser. If you experience connection issues, toggle Bluetooth on the Volcano off and on again (hold Temperature Minus + AIR for 3 seconds).

ERR + n (non-resettable) means the device must be sent to a Storz & Bickel Service Center. Typical causes include temperature sensor faults or electronics communication issues.
