The VENTY is a portable dry herb vaporizer from Storz & Bickel that heats up in just 20 seconds — currently the fastest portable vape on the market. If you've used a Mighty+ or a Crafty+ and wished it ran faster with more airflow, this is what the German engineers cooked up next. It's the first portable they've built with adjustable airflow, going up to 20 litres per minute, plus a digital display, app control, and USB-C Supercharge that hits 80% battery in 40 minutes.
What makes the VENTY different from the Mighty+
The VENTY is the first Storz & Bickel portable with a fully adjustable airflow system, reaching up to 20 litres per minute — roughly double what the Mighty+ pulls. That's the headline change. The other big one is the 20-second heat-up, down from around 60 seconds on the Mighty+. Combine those two and you get a vape that's ready before your kettle, with vapour density you can actually dial in instead of just accepting whatever the device gives you.
It also runs a hybrid convection-conduction heating system, which is what every Storz & Bickel does, but here it's been retuned for the new airflow ceiling. Higher airflow normally means thinner vapour and lower flavour — the VENTY's heating geometry compensates so the clouds stay full even when you're pulling hard. There's a colour OLED display, 1°C temperature steps from 40°C to 210°C, and dedicated Boost and Superboost modes for when you want to push past the set temperature mid-session.
Honest limitation: at this size and weight (around 200g, slightly chunkier than a Mighty+), it's still a "jacket pocket" portable, not a "jeans pocket" one. If discreet pocketability is your top priority, the Crafty+ is smaller. If you want the best vapour Storz & Bickel currently make in a portable, this is it.
Adjustable airflow up to 20 litres per minute
The airflow dial on the mouthpiece is the feature you'll notice first. Crank it open and you get loose, lung-filling draws with massive vapour volume. Close it down and you get tight, restricted hits with concentrated flavour — closer to how a Crafty+ feels. Most portables lock you into one airflow profile; the VENTY lets you change it mid-session, which matters more than it sounds when you're working through a chamber and the herb dries out.
From our counter: this is the first thing customers comment on after their first session. People used to draw-resistant vapes are surprised at how easy the open setting pulls. People who like that resistance can keep it.
20-second heat-up and Supercharge battery
Twenty seconds from button press to ready. We've timed it on the demo unit at the shop and it's accurate — sometimes a touch faster. For comparison, the Mighty+ takes around 60 seconds, the Crafty+ around 60–90, and most pen-style portables anywhere from 15 to 30. The VENTY is the fastest portable convection-conduction hybrid you can buy right now.
Battery life lands around 8–10 sessions per charge depending on temperature and airflow settings. Supercharge over USB-C takes it to 80% in 40 minutes — handy if you're heading out and forgot to dock it the night before. Full charge is around 90 minutes. The USB-C port also means it pass-through charges, so if the battery dies mid-session you can plug in and keep going.
Precise temperature control from 40°C to 210°C
The digital display lets you dial in the exact temperature in 1°C increments, which is finer than most portables (the Mighty+ uses 1°F, the Crafty+ has only three preset temperatures). Most dry herb vaping happens between 180°C and 210°C — lower for flavour, higher for density. The 40°C floor is there for aromatherapy use with non-cannabis herbs.
Boost mode bumps the set temperature by a fixed amount for one draw. Superboost goes higher. Both are useful at the end of a session when the herb is mostly spent and you want to squeeze out the last of it.

What's in the box
- 1× VENTY vaporizer
- 1× USB-C cable (Type-C to Type-C)
- 2× Normal screen — small
- 3× Coarse screen — small
- 2× Cooling unit screen
- 2× O-ring (Ø9 × 1.5 mm)
- 1× Filling chamber tool
- 1× Cleaning brush
Pairs well with the Storz & Bickel Dosing Capsules and refill tray — pre-load 40 capsules at home and just drop one into the chamber when you want a session, no grinding on the go. A decent grinder (the SLX or a Storz & Bickel Herb Mill) makes a real difference too: even, fluffy grind = even vapour. If you're buying the VENTY as a gift or want to keep it pristine, the silicone protective sleeve is worth the spend.
How to use the VENTY
- Charge fully before first use (around 90 minutes from empty).
- Grind your herb medium-fine — even consistency matters more than fineness.
- Fill the chamber loosely. Don't pack it tight; airflow needs to move through.
- Press the power button. Set your temperature with the +/− keys (start around 185°C for flavour, 195–205°C for density).
- Wait 20 seconds for the ready signal.
- Adjust the airflow dial on the mouthpiece — open for clouds, closed for flavour.
- Draw slowly and steadily for 5–8 seconds. Long, gentle draws beat short hard ones.
- When vapour thins out, hit Boost for one or two final draws.
- Empty the chamber while it's still warm — herb releases easier.
- Brush the chamber and screen between sessions; deep clean the cooling unit weekly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the VENTY vaporizer for?
Anyone who wants the most performance Storz & Bickel currently put in a portable. If you already use a Mighty+ or Crafty+ and want faster heat-up plus adjustable airflow, this is the upgrade. New to portable vaping and willing to spend on the flagship? Start here and you won't be looking sideways.
How long does the VENTY battery last?
Around 8–10 sessions per full charge, depending on temperature and airflow settings. Higher temps and more open airflow drain it faster. USB-C Supercharge gets you back to 80% in 40 minutes, and the device pass-through charges so you can keep vaping while plugged in.
Can I use the VENTY for concentrates?
The VENTY is built for dry herb only. Storz & Bickel sell separate liquid pads and dosing capsules that let you add a few drops of concentrate on top of dry herb, but the device isn't designed as a dab rig. If you mainly vape concentrates, look at a dedicated wax pen instead.
Does the VENTY app actually do anything useful?
Yes — you can set custom temperature presets, adjust the LED brightness, change Boost behaviour, and check battery and firmware. It's optional; the device works fully standalone. We'd say the app is most useful for tweaking your defaults once, then ignoring it.
How does the VENTY compare to the Mighty+?
The VENTY heats up three times faster (20 sec vs ~60 sec), has adjustable airflow up to 20 L/min (the Mighty+ is fixed), uses USB-C Supercharge instead of standard USB-C, and adds Bluetooth app control. The Mighty+ is still the all-round flagship — the VENTY pushes harder on speed and vapour volume.
How much herb does the chamber hold?
Up to 0.25 grams of ground dry herb. The dosing capsules hold slightly less and let you pre-fill 40 at a time using the refill tray, which is the easiest way to vape on the move without carrying a grinder.
