Storz & Bickel vaporizers selected for French pilot project
The French health regulator has selected Storz & Bickel to be responsible for supplying and delivering vaporizers to patients included in the medical cannabis pilot project. The devices should be used by patients who use the dried flower to vaporize.
The tender provides for the following: that the vaporizer does not have a pre-filling system (cartridge), that the external walls in contact with the user do not heat up, that the temperature does not exceed 215° C and that there is a pre-adjustment system for temperature, that the vaporizer is portable and that it has the possibility of turning off automatically, that the capacity of the filling chamber is at least 100 mg of dried flowers, that the heating system is by convection, and even that “a mill is included” or herb grinder.” In addition, the vaporizer must not “allow the vaporization of cannabis oils or resins (prohibition of providing the accessory that allows it)”.
Storz & Bickel will have to guarantee, throughout the duration of the experience, the supply of medical cannabis vaporizers, as well as the delivery and after-sales service in the event of a failure of a device delivered during the pilot project.

I am one of the directors of CannaReporter, which I founded together with Laura Ramos. I am from the unique Island of Madeira, where I currently reside. While I was in Lisbon at FCUL studying Physical Engineering, I became involved in the national hemp and cannabis scene and participated in several associations, some of which I am still a member of. I follow the global industry and especially legislative advances regarding the different uses of cannabis.
