Help for Stor & Bickel Volcano

[notyouravstoner]

Hi everyone. I love my volcano and it is my daily toker. It came to me well loved and normal wear and tear. Recently one of the torx screws came off the side and I haven't had much success finding the confirmed size or part name/number. The Volcano still functions but extra vibration sometimes unscrews the weed receptacle and the mess is annoying. I found only one site that sells the part but doesn't share size info, and their eCommerce process is shady AF.

Anybody here able to help?

Mcmaster Carr would probably have what you need, but figuring out the exact size might be difficult unless you have a set of calipers on hand.

I think it's a torx T8 but I can't be sure. Also, I don't know anything about the type of screw and if that also is all I need to order one.

You can take off one of the other torx screws of the same size and head over to the local hardware store to match the thread pitch on the boards.

My torx t8 fits mine, just tried it. Last repair I did storz and bickel sent screw replacement s for free.

T8/2mm doesn't give you enough information to specify a replacement. In order to figure out what you need, you need to find out the thread pitch (number of threads per in. or mm). Take a screw that fits the hole for the missing screw to the hardware store and find out the pitch on the screw boards. Then you can get a inexpensive replacement screw.

Or contact Storz & Bickel and ask them for the screw size. Then you can either order it from them or McMaster or your local hardware store.

another thing to keep in mind. Blue Locktite is your friend!, after using it, never came loose again.

Not screw related, but my folks just got one of these, and I was wondering what settings you guys find best for the volcano?

 

[Deebs]

seems like 6 is where we like to start. 5 may even work for them. Just remember, the bag shouldn't be opaque, and dark where you cant see through the vapor.

 

[MacGydro]

Cool, thanks man. Dunno if they have settings like that, or just temp settings. He tried at 350, but couldn't taste it. Now it's at 376

 

[Deebs]

Oh im sorry I have an old analog. 338-372 is the best range per say, you can play from there... 10yrs old runs as good as day 1.

Cool, thanks! Do you usually wait a certain time for it to warm up, and can you taste it as low as 338?

Ya will get differant flavors as it is heating.

It's definitely new and different for them, and will need some getting used to. Hard to break an old dog of old tricks.
Hell, just skipping the breaking up and rolling part is traumatic to him, I'm sure! Lol
