The Storz & Bickel legend starts in 1996, when this German company developed its first vaporizing technology. Yet, the newborn vape revolution found its leader only in 2000, with the release of Storz & Bickel’s game-changing Volcano desktop vaporizer. Within just a few years, the company became recognised as the leading producer of top-quality vaporizers, and today’s market only features very few companies that can honestly call themselves peers or competitors.

After 20 years, numerous market-changing products, and a few technical upgrades, the Volcano is still one of the most popular desktop vaporizers on the market. But that doesn’t mean the Storz & Bickel team hasn't been hard at work developing a new range of products. These vapes might cost a bit more than their competitors, but in return they provide the best vapor quality alongside excellent ease of use. Whether the Volcano, the Crafty+, or the Mighty is the best one for you all depends on how and where you want to use your vaporizer.

CRAFTY+

Storz & Bickel’s Crafty+ and Mighty vapes suit the needs of both novice and experienced users, with the technology based on hybrid conduction-convection heating. A single button on the Crafty+ turns the device on and off, while the main functions are controlled by an app. The casing is made from very durable plastic with ribbed edges, not only promoting better grip, but also helping to evenly disperse the heat. At 11.0 x 5.7 x 3.3cm and 137g, it’s compact, light, and highly portable.

The app lets you customise the default temperature and the operating temperature from 40–210°C, as well as the light, sound, and vibration settings. You can also use one of the two default temperatures. The Crafty+ takes two minutes to heat up, and the bowl can fit up to 0.3 grams. When you draw, the vapor passes through a cooling unit that leaves no taste of plastic in your vapor. The vape takes up to two hours to charge, but you can get a quick vape in after letting it charge for 20 minutes.

The Crafty+ uses one internal lithium-ion battery, which allows for an average of 6–7 long vaping sessions. It even has a feature that can help you retrieve your Crafty+ if you can’t locate it. The package contains extra screens, a USB charger, spare sealing rings, a dosing capsule, a filling tool, and other useful stuff.

Crafty+ also has a nifty button feature—pressing it twice starts Boost Mode. Press it three times and things go even further—you get MAX mode, which goes straight to 210°C (410°F), the highest temp on the vape, to really heat up your herb.

MIGHTY

The Mighty is a portable vape with the same technology as the Crafty+, but with more battery power and in-built controls instead of an app. This vape is larger than the Crafty+ and some of its competitors, yet with its dimensions of 14 x 8 x 3cm and a weight of 230 grams, it stays within the range of good portability and discretion. The package comes with the same useful accessories as the Crafty+.

With robust plastic casing like the Crafty+, the Mighty has neither a “plastic” feel nor will it ever give off a taste of plastic during a session. Its vapor is instead full, tasty, and smooth. Very satisfying.

A clear and bright LED display shows battery life and temperature settings. All you have to do is set the temperature using two buttons. The Mighty is powered by two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. When the batteries are discharged, the vape can function via the power adapter after a few minutes of initial charging. This model heats up faster than the smaller Crafty+, and it’s reasonable to expect an average of 8 full vaping sessions on a single battery charge.

VOLCANO CLASSIC & VOLCANO HYBRID

The Volcano has a reputation for being the best desktop vaporizer on the market. This is also one of the very few vapes that’s considered medical-grade equipment by various government healthcare departments. Buying the Volcano is a long-term investment in your health, pleasure, and vaping quality.

Volcano Classic is a bag-style vaporizer, which means it fills a detachable bag and you inhale the vapor from it. It also has a Hybrid version with the same features, functionality, and power, plus an LED display that lets you set your preferred vaping temperature from 40–230°C and indicates the current temperature as the vaporizer heats up. Both models also have an automatic shutoff feature when the vape is left idle for 30 minutes.

This desktop device is 18cm high and 20cm in diameter. The vape has a powerful 100W convection heater, an air pump, and a bag with a mouthpiece. The package has all the accessories such as spare screens, a drip pad, a cleaning brush and more. The device is covered by a three-year warranty and a 100% satisfaction guarantee from Storz & Bickel. The Volcano's ease of use, serious build, long-lasting battery life, and flavourful, consistent vapor make it likely to remain the best desktop vaporizer on the market.

HOW TO PICK A STORZ & BICKEL VAPORIZER

For a long time, Storz & Bickel has used precision engineering and high-quality materials to carefully fulfil the needs and desires of its customers, resulting in a top-quality product family that really speaks for itself.

The Crafty+ and Mighty are both portable vaporizers that share the same hybrid heating technology, so the choice depends mainly on personal preferences regarding device dimensions, battery life, and heat-up time. The powerful Volcano is obviously made for domestic use, and its larger dimensions correspond to an even larger quantity of high-quality vapor, and longer sessions. All of these vaporizers are perfect for dry herbs, but a special stainless steel drip pad inserted into the heating chamber allows users to vape resins, and any other cannabis concentrate made for dabbing.

The present Privacy Policy sets out the terms on which we will treat personal data at ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS; this includes any personal data collected through our website https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/ as well as any other data we process in the course of our business activities.

ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS collects the following personal data for the purposes listed below:

In any case, you may exercise your right of opposition through the channels announced in this Privacy Policy. The following information is collected in relation to the newsletter:

We do not need to know the sex of the person in order to send the newsletter (data minimisation: by law we must ask for data that is strictly necessary to provide the service, and in this case knowing the sex is not necessary to send the newsletter).

Purpose of data collection

(a) personalise our emails, including your name and gender;

(b) provide gender-specific content.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the link provided in the newsletter or the contact information provided in section 2.

2.1 How do you withdraw consent?

If you change your mind, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you for the purpose of collecting, using, or disclosing your data at any time by reaching out to us at: support@royalqueenseeds.com.

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you breach our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

At Royal Queen Seeds, we will not retain your data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of data; however, the longest period we will normally hold any personal data is 10 years.

4.1 Account information

Data relating to the account remains relevant for as long as the consumer is in possession of an account. Therefore, the data remains documented for as long as the account exists. When our customers delete an account, the associated data will be deleted within a reasonable period of time. Requests regarding the inspection or correction of stored personal data or the deletion of an account can be sent to support@royalqueenseeds.com.

4.2 Newsletters

In addition, our newsletter mailing has an opt-out feature. Consumers can withdraw their consent by using this opt-out feature.

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

5.1 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance your online experience. Among other things, these cookies track what is added to your shopping cart. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

5.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
