May I ask please what is the basis for this statement?
I thought the rings would show up on my digital scale with the ceramic coating. Doesn't even weigh a gram. The SS ring from my Classic shows 3 grams on my digital scale.

I guess I'm still not understanding.
It is no surprise that SS rings and chamber will be much heavier than aluminum but I don't undertstand why things should weigh a certain amount because they are ceramic coated.
In my mind, the weight of previous versions of these parts is not relevant....just does it work or doesn't it.
And, may I ask...are you certain those are rub marks on your ring or perhaps that that particular part was not coated well and evenly on the bottom of the ring? Just speculating hear.
Cheers
Your probably right, The coating was not applied in that area as well as the top of the ring. I guess the weight doesn't really matter.

I suggest you ask S&B for another set as this looked a lot like a manf defect in the coating application.
Is the new whip attachment compatible with the previous versions of the Volcano? I can't see any clues on their website....

No, you can connect the whip, but without the screw on chamber, you will have to hold it all together otherwise you will pull the chamber off of the device.
Ah, yes. You want whip, you buy Hybrid. Of course.
I predict S&B's next product will be a Limited Edition rose gold & platinum Classic with a vintage styling.
Too bad about the aluminium ring tho.

I'm pretty sure one of the features of the hybrid is a valve that gets switched while the fan is on which means when the fan isn't on you can just inhale straight through the unit. I guess you could use a whip on the old solid-valve chambers but you would have to deal with inhaling while the fan is on.
Just received email for a replacement ring set from S&B with tracking. S&B were very apologetic.

I have received the new insert and a original-sized chamber, and a replacement chamber reducer is on the way. So far, so good!
Does the newer chamber seem to be a little bit slower to get to vaporization temperatures for those who have it compared to the all aluminum parts, or about the same? In my experience it appears to be a bit slower, maybe 10-15 seconds or more time to get there, but I could be imagining things.

Got mine today, I think I might sit on it for a while to see what the consensus on it is (e.g. is heat up time or other factors sacrificed a little) before installing.
I was never too concerned about the aluminium to begin with and Storz confirmed internal and external testing was done and found it poses no health risk.

Parts came in today, so I cleaned everything up, installed a new whip, and holder, new air filter, new chamber housing, and upper chamber to go with the new lower, cleaned my water pipe to use through the whip, time for this Volcano to erupt!!

So, I ran my Hybrid with the new parts last night and can confirm that it indeed does retain the conduction feature (ouch...that was hot! haha).
Worked well and really nothing more to say about it.
Hi - the ring (the piece that goes on the unit) does not spin at all. It snapped firmly into place and does not move. Wonder why yours seems to.
Also, what valve are you talking about? You mean the filling chamber housing? The black and orange housing for the oven hardware? So, yes...the ring adds a bit of height and I and others have noticed that if you don't have the top part of the housing attached, it will push the ceramic/metal oven will pop up slightly when the housing is screwed onto the base. But, I never put just the bottom of the housing on so I don't see this as any sort of issue, personally.
Now, I haven't noticed if this slight increase in height results in being able to not screw the housing on as fully as before. However, it did screw on firmly and turn sufficiently far enough that I was very confident that it was well attached.
All in all, at this time I'm happy with their solution.

Updated reducer arrived today along with two dosing caps and an extra screen for the reducer. So far, so good!
