Abstract
The Volcano Extract Bowl allows an individual to Vaporize extracts with the Volcano Vaporizer. It transforms the Volcano Vaporizer into a Vaporizer that can Vaporize extracts like Rosin, Shatter, oils, Budder, wax, etc. Essentially, this is a Volcano Extract Bowl specifically designed to work with the Volcano Vaporizer by Storz and Bickel®.
Description

This invention transforms the Storz & Bickel® Volcano Vaporizer 5 into a Vaporizer that can Vaporize extracts like Rosin, Shatter, oils, Budder, wax, etc. Essentially, this invention is a Volcano Extract Bowl 1. The measurements for this invention are 1.5 cm high and 2.5 cm wide circular Glass Bowl 3 with an elevated circular 1 cm wide hole 4 directly in the middle where hot air 465 E can pass through. The circular 1 cm wide hole 4 is elevated to a height of 1 cm and a Flow Diverting Cap 2 removable secured is placed on top of the elevated hole 4. The Flow Diverting Cap 2 is 1.7 cm wide circular metal flat top 9 cap with a spring loaded circular eight-legged 7.7 mm long Fixing Clip 10 that allows hot air to be easily diverted through the eight 0.2 cm wide slit 11 openings located in between each spring-loaded clip leg 8. Each clip leg 8 is arranged around the circumference of the bottom of the circular flat top 9 and are extending down to a length of 0.7 cm. The extract is placed inside the 2.5 cm wide Glass Bowl 3 inside wall and the outside wall of the 1 cm elevated circular 1 cm wide hole. You place the Volcano Extract Bowl inside the Volcano Chamber Housing 6 and place the Volcano Chamber Housing 6 with the Volcano Extract Bowl inside, on top of the Storz & Beckel® Volcano Vaporizer heating core 7. When the 465 F degree air pushes out of the Volcano Vaporizer heating core 7 and through the elevated hole 4, it gets diverted by the Flow Diverting Cap causing maximum turbulence and heat exchange. Due to this process the inside of the Volcano Vaporizer Chamber Housing 6 heats up to 465 F and simultaneously heats up the Volcano Extract Bowl and the extract in it to the same degree, causing the extract to vaporize. The vaporized extract vapers get pushed out of the Volcano Vaporizers Chamber Housing 6 Exhaust.
