EASY VALVE Replacement Set for Volcano Vaporisers
The EASY VALVE Replacement Set is a pack of six pre-assembled balloon bags with mouthpieces, made by Storz & Bickel specifically for the Volcano vaporiser. Each balloon measures approximately 60 cm (2 feet) in length and clips straight onto your existing EASY VALVE adapter — no fiddling with scissors, cable ties, or oven bags. If your current balloons are looking cloudy, tasting stale, or you've simply popped one during an enthusiastic session, this set gets you back to clean, fresh vapour in about ten seconds.

Running the EASY VALVE system means your filling chamber screens take a beating too. Grab a set of EASY VALVE Filling Chamber replacement screens to keep airflow unrestricted and flavour clean. If you've been thinking about switching to the Solid Valve for its reusable balloon approach, we carry those separately — but honestly, for sheer convenience, the EASY VALVE system is hard to beat.
Why Fresh Volcano EASY VALVE Balloons Actually Matter
Fresh balloons are the single cheapest upgrade you can make to your Volcano setup, and most people wait far too long to swap them. After roughly 50–100 fills, the inside of a balloon develops a thin resin film. You can see it — that amber tint creeping across the plastic. You can taste it too: a stale, slightly acrid note that sits underneath whatever you're vaporising. That residue isn't just unpleasant; it means you're inhaling reheated deposits instead of clean vapour.
We've had customers in the shop swear their Volcano "doesn't hit like it used to" — then swap the balloon and realise the unit was fine all along. The difference between a fresh bag and a 3-month-old one is night and day. The first pull from a new EASY VALVE balloon is noticeably smoother, cooler, and more flavourful. It's the vaporiser equivalent of putting a fresh filter in your coffee machine.
One honest limitation: the 60 cm length is shorter than what you'd get cutting your own bags for the Solid Valve system, where some people run 90 cm or even 120 cm balloons. If you want massive clouds from a single fill, the EASY VALVE's fixed length means smaller volume per bag. The trade-off is zero prep time — no measuring, no cutting, no attaching mouthpieces with rubber bands. You pop the old one off, click the new one on, and you're done. For most people, that convenience wins.
EASY VALVE vs Solid Valve — Which Volcano System Suits You
The Volcano ships with either an EASY VALVE or Solid Valve system, and they're not interchangeable without buying the full starter set for the other type. Here's the practical difference:
| Feature | EASY VALVE | Solid Valve |
|---|---|---|
| Balloon Replacement | Click off, click on — 10 seconds | Cut to size, attach with clip — 2-3 minutes |
| Balloon Length | Fixed at 60 cm | Custom — cut any length you like |
| Cost Per Balloon | Higher (pre-assembled mouthpiece) | Lower (bulk roll of food-grade plastic) |
| Cleaning | Disposable — replace rather than clean | Balloon disposable, valve body cleanable |
| Best For | Convenience, group sessions, minimal fuss | Customisation, long-term cost savings |
We'd pick the EASY VALVE if you share your Volcano with mates — having 6 fresh bags ready to rotate through a session is genuinely useful. The Solid Valve makes more sense if you vape solo and want to dial in your exact bag size. Neither system is better in absolute terms; they solve different problems.
How to Replace Your Volcano EASY VALVE Balloon
- Let your Volcano cool down if it's been running. The filling chamber gets warm, and while it won't burn you, it's more comfortable to handle at room temperature.
- Grip the used balloon at the orange mouthpiece housing and pull it straight off the EASY VALVE adapter. It detaches with a firm tug — no twisting needed.
- Take a fresh balloon from the replacement set. The mouthpiece end is already attached and sealed.
- Push the new balloon's connector onto the EASY VALVE adapter until it clicks into place. You'll feel it seat firmly.
- Run a test fill at your usual temperature (we find 180–190°C is the sweet spot for most dry herbs). Watch the balloon inflate evenly — if it does, you're sorted.
- Dispose of the old balloon. The resin inside isn't worth trying to reclaim unless you enjoy scraping plastic with a razor blade. Just bin it.
From Our Counter: When to Actually Replace Your Balloons
The official guidance from Storz & Bickel is to replace balloons when they become visibly discoloured or the taste deteriorates. In practice, from what we've seen over the years, that works out to roughly every 2–4 weeks if you're a daily user, or every 50–100 sessions. Some people push them longer — and honestly, the balloon won't suddenly fail. It just gets progressively less pleasant.
A good rule of thumb: hold the inflated balloon up to a light. If you can't see through it clearly anymore, it's time. The weight of the bag changes too — a fresh one feels almost weightless, while a used one has a faintly tacky, heavier feel from resin buildup. That tactile difference is your cue.
Temperature matters as well. If you regularly vape above 200°C, resin accumulates faster and the plastic degrades sooner. Running at 170–190°C extends balloon life noticeably. With 6 balloons in this set, even a heavy daily user should get 2–3 months of clean sessions before needing another pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these EASY VALVE balloons compatible with the Volcano Hybrid?
Yes. The EASY VALVE Replacement Set fits every Volcano model that uses the EASY VALVE system — Classic, Digit, and Hybrid. Just make sure your Volcano came with or was upgraded to the EASY VALVE adapter, not the Solid Valve.
Can I wash and reuse EASY VALVE balloons instead of replacing them?
Technically you can rinse them with warm water and isopropyl alcohol, but the plastic thins and becomes brittle after a few washes. The mouthpiece seal also loosens. Storz & Bickel designed these as disposable items, and a cleaned balloon never tastes as good as a fresh one. At the cost per bag, replacing is the better call.
Will these balloons fit the Solid Valve system?
No. The EASY VALVE and Solid Valve use completely different connector mechanisms. These pre-assembled balloons only attach to the EASY VALVE adapter. If you run a Solid Valve, you need the Solid Valve balloon roll and separate mouthpiece.
How many sessions does one EASY VALVE balloon last?
Roughly 50–100 sessions depending on your vaping temperature. Higher temperatures (200°C+) deposit more resin and shorten balloon life. At moderate temperatures around 180–190°C, a single balloon can comfortably last 3–4 weeks of daily use.
Why are the balloons only 60 cm long?
Storz & Bickel fixed the EASY VALVE balloon length at 60 cm as a balance between vapour density and ease of use. Shorter bags fill faster and deliver more concentrated vapour per pull. If you want longer bags, you'd need to switch to the Solid Valve system, which lets you cut balloons to any length from a roll.
Do the replacement balloons come with the filling chamber?
No. This is a balloon-and-mouthpiece set only — 6 bags, each with a pre-attached mouthpiece. The filling chamber, adapter, and screens are not included. If you need a complete EASY VALVE setup from scratch, look at the EASY VALVE Starter Set instead.
Can I use third-party oven bags instead of Storz & Bickel balloons?
You can with the Solid Valve system, where people often use food-grade oven bags cut to size. The EASY VALVE system requires the proprietary mouthpiece connector, so third-party bags won't attach properly. Stick with the original replacement set for the EASY VALVE.
