Venty Vaporizer Review: Snag it for 15% Off

Storz & Bickel’s Venty vaporizer makes amazing vapor faster and easier, but is it worth the price tag?

Table of contents

After weeks of hands-on testing, the Storz & Bickel Venty vaporizer stands out as one of the best portable vaporizers available today. In this Venty Vaporizer review, I’ll break down why it’s earned that reputation; from its lightning-fast 20-second heat-up to its smooth, low-resistance airflow.

If you value consistency, big clouds, and long battery life, the Venty checks every box - just be ready for the $449 price tag. It’s taller than most portables I’ve used, but the slim design helps it stay travel-friendly.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all vape, the Venty comes surprisingly close. A little smaller and a bit cheaper, and I’d recommend it to just about everyone.

Quick Summary: The Venty is pricey, but it’s worth every penny

If you can swing the $449 price tag, go for it. The 20-second heat-up time and smooth, low-resistance airflow raise the bar for portable vapes. This is Storz & Bickel’s next fan-favorite—and a strong contender for best overall vaporizer.

Top-Shelf Vapor Quality from the Venty Vaporizer

Whether you sip or rip, the Storz & Bickel Venty vaporizer delivers potent, flavorful vapor that sets a new bar for portable dry herb vapes. Like the Crafty+ and Mighty+, the vapor is fluffy, tasty, and consistently strong—but the Venty adds something new: unmatched airflow that completely changes the experience.

My favorite session style is to fully open the adjustable airflow and gently sip as I move up the temperature scale. But the Venty also handles long, heavy draws just as well. That’s what makes it special—it gives you power, airflow, and flexibility without sacrificing vapor quality or requiring any special technique.

If you already own a Crafty+ or Mighty+, you won’t notice a major boost in vapor quality—but I’d still get the Venty for the airflow alone. It’s a game-changer.

Fastest Heat-Up Time: Ready in 20 Seconds

The Storz & Bickel Venty vaporizer gets its name from one of its most impressive features—its heat-up time. “Venty” means 20 in Italian, and it’s no coincidence: this is the fastest S&B vaporizer ever made, reaching temperature in as little as 20 seconds.

In my testing, the Venty hit 356 °F (180 °C) in just 18 seconds and 410 °F (210 °C) in 21 seconds with a full battery. At 390 °F (199 °C), it averaged 23 seconds, ranging from 19 to 33 seconds depending on battery level and ambient conditions.

Like other S&B vaporizers, the vapor is rich and thick from the very first hit—no weak starter draws. This kind of speed and performance makes the Venty an ideal choice for quick, flavorful sessions without the wait.

Adjustable Airflow: Effortless Draws from the Venty

As much as I love the fast heat-up time, I think the Venty’s wide-open adjustable airflow is its most impressive feature. I didn’t realize how much I needed it until I took my first draw. Vapor that’s rich, thick, and smooth is now effortless—no other portable herb vaporizer even comes close.

The airflow rate is 20 liters per minute (lpm)—yet another reason it’s called the “Venty.” Storz & Bickel is the first to publicize airflow specs, and according to them, the Venty’s flow is double that of the Mighty+. After side-by-side testing, I’d agree. Hits on the Mighty+ now feel tight by comparison, and I haven’t picked mine up since switching to the Venty.

What makes it even better? The airflow isn’t just wide open—it’s fully adjustable. There’s a dial just below the mouthpiece that lets you fine-tune the draw resistance anywhere from 0 to 20 lpm. Whether you like restricted sips or open, lung-filling hits, the Venty lets you dial in your perfect experience. For me, it’s wide open at 20 lpm all day.

The Venty’s standout feature is its wide-open adjustable airflow—effortless, rich vapor at 20 lpm that makes other portables feel restrictive.

Venty Vaporizer Adjusts to Your Draw Style Automatically

Comfy, potent vapor with any hit style—how does Storz & Bickel pull it off? Most portable vapes need careful technique to get consistent results, but the Venty vaporizer uses smart tech to take the work out of every spectacular hit.

The Venty keeps each draw in the sweet spot, no matter how fast or slow you inhale. Increase your draw speed, and the device automatically boosts power to maintain vapor density. Prefer tighter, cigarette-like pulls? Dial the airflow down to level one or two. Love open, bubbler-style hits? Set it to three and let it rip.

What makes this possible is a built-in sensor that monitors your draw speed and adjusts the temperature on the fly to keep your vapor consistent. No other vaporizer on the market does this—and it works incredibly well. I’ve discussed this kind of feature in design meetings with vape engineers, and it always felt like futuristic talk. But with the Venty, it’s already here.

The Venty adjusts heat on the fly to match draw speed for consistent vapor with any style of hit.

Clean, Cool Vapor from the Venty’s Advanced Cooling Unit

The Venty’s cooling unit sits on top of the vaporizer and twists off to reveal the oven. It’s not just where the airflow dial lives—it’s also responsible for delivering clean, cool vapor through a longer path and multiple screens. Compared to other Storz & Bickel vaporizers, the Venty has more filtration and better cooling efficiency. It’s an elegant solution that other manufacturers should take note of.

Venty Vaporizer Oven Size and Compatibility

The Venty vaporizer works best with herb loads under 0.25 grams. Its heating chamber—identical in size and shape to the ovens in the Crafty+ and Mighty+—will feel instantly familiar to seasoned Storz & Bickel users. But unlike those vapes, the Venty features a unique bottom hole pattern that boosts airflow performance.

It’s also compatible with S&B’s dosing capsules, making it easy to swap loads on the go or control dosing with precision.

You could pack up to 0.35 grams if you compress the herbs, but you’ll likely sacrifice flavor and vapor density. I’ve found the sweet spot to be a loose fill between 0.15 and 0.25 grams—just enough for the Venty’s hybrid heating to shine and push out thick, tasty vapor.

Venty Vaporizer: Dry Herb Only

The Venty vaporizer is designed exclusively for dry herb use. Storz & Bickel has made that clear by removing the stainless steel mesh concentrate pad from its current lineup—something they previously included or sold separately.

Technically, you could still use concentrates with the Venty by placing a small amount on a mesh pad or sandwiching it between herbs. But it’s risky—excess oil can drip down into the heater and cause damage. If you go this route, use caution and minimal concentrate.

That said, the Venty hits hard enough that most users won’t even miss concentrates. Stick with flower, and you’ll still get powerful, flavorful sessions every time.

Venty Vaporizer Battery Life: Long-Lasting Power

The Venty vaporizer has excellent battery life—easily enough for a dozen bowls or a couple days of regular use before needing a recharge via USB-C. Of course, your mileage may vary, since factors like temp settings and draw length affect performance.

One of my favorite touches: the Venty doesn’t rely on a standard session timer that cuts off after five minutes (thank god!). Instead, it monitors your activity and automatically powers down after a couple minutes of inactivity. That means it stays on as long as you’re using it—no premature shutdowns mid-session.

On my test bench, I ran 14 full sessions at 390 °F before the battery gave out. Each session averaged four minutes and seven long draws, totaling 55 minutes of runtime and 97 hits on a single charge.

The battery meter was surprisingly accurate—unlike many other vapes I’ve tested. I consistently got two to three sessions per bar, and when the battery read 50%, I had completed about half my sessions. That level of reliability is rare and appreciated.

Fast USB-C Charging for the Venty Vaporizer

You’re never far from a recharge with the Venty dry herb vaporizer’s USB-C charging. Charge times depend on your setup, but with the optional Supercharger, you can cut the wait down to just 45 minutes.

I use the Supercharger so much I think it should come standard with the vape—but keep in mind, quick-charging puts more wear on the battery. If you want to extend battery health, I recommend tweaking a few settings in the Storz & Bickel web app (more on that below).

Simple, Intuitive Controls on the Venty Vaporizer

Storz & Bickel has always prioritized ease of use, and the Venty vaporizer continues that tradition—unless you’re colorblind (more on that below). For most users, it’s plug-and-play. Just turn it on, set your temp (104 °F – 410 °F / 40 °C – 210 °C), and vape when it’s ready. No learning curve required.

The screen displays only what matters: temperature, battery level, and Bluetooth status. It’s orange during heat-up, green when ready, and blue when powered off. It also vibrates when you turn it on/off and when it reaches temp—no guesswork.

Green means go—your Venty is ready to vape.

The power button sits alone on the side and only needs a single press to turn on. (A refreshing change from the 5-click schemes many other vapes use.) The “+” and “–” buttons adjust the temperature, and pressing them together toggles between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

The Venty also makes temp-stepping easy with Boost and Superboost modes. A double-press of the power button increases the temp by 27 °F (from 356 °F to 383 °F), and another double-press pushes it to 410 °F. After 90 seconds, it reverts back to your default temperature—unless you change that in the web app.

I use Boost and Superboost all the time and love them. I just wish the Venty stayed at those temps instead of dropping back down automatically. The good news? You can tweak all of this in the web app to suit your style.

The Venty keeps vaporizing simple with easy controls, color-coded screens, and one-press power, plus Boost and Superboost modes for extra heat.

Venty Vaporizer Web App: Bluetooth Customization Made Easy

The Storz & Bickel web app isn’t essential—but it’s a nice bonus if you want more control over your Venty vaporizer. You can tweak a handful of features to personalize your sessions and improve long-term battery health.

I connected the Venty to my Windows PC via Bluetooth with no issues. I also tried it on my iPhone in a browser—worked perfectly. Android users won’t find updated Venty features in the native S&B app, but the web app works just fine for them too.

Here’s what you can do in the web app:

  • Adjust Boost and Superboost temps: Set how much each double-press increases the temperature. Defaults are 27 °F (15 °C), but you can go higher or lower.
  • Enable or disable vibration: Turn off haptic feedback if it’s not your thing.
  • Optimize battery life: Limit charging to 90% and slow down the charge rate—even with the Supercharger. These options can reduce long-term battery wear.
  • Change LED brightness: Use a slider to dim or brighten the screen to your liking.
  • Advanced options: Disable blinking lights, check total runtime, update firmware, reset to factory settings, and control onboard functions remotely.

Venty Vaporizer Build Quality: Durable, Medical-Grade Design

I love how the Venty vaporizer feels in my hand. Its industrial styling gives it a serious, no-nonsense vibe. It’s a bit taller than I’d prefer, but the weight is spot-on—not too heavy, not too light. The slightly tapered bottom half fits the natural shape of my grip perfectly.

Some people may not love the plastic exterior, but it’s there for a reason. It helps the device stay cool during use and doesn’t impact vapor quality. In fact, it makes the Venty more comfortable to hold than some metal-shell vapes.

Storz & Bickel describes the Venty as a “medical quality” vaporizer. While it’s not officially medically certified like their Mighty Medic, it’s built in the same factory, by the same engineers, and to the same high standards. I even reached out to S&B to ask if a certified version of the Venty was on the way—but they couldn’t confirm or deny.

Either way, the Venty is one of the safest dry herb vaporizers you can buy. It’s made from materials that won’t degrade or contaminate the vapor path and carries electrical certifications including UL 8139 and IEC 60335-1—the latter being specific to vaporizers.

The Venty’s industrial design feels solid in hand, with a tapered grip, durable build, and medical-grade standards for safety and quality.

Is the Venty Vaporizer Portable? Big but Pocketable

The Venty vaporizer is a little taller and wider than the original Mighty, and when I first saw it, I thought it might be too bulky. But after a couple of months of use, it feels smaller than it looks. It’s noticeably narrower than the Mighty, which helps it slide into pockets more easily.

Will it fit in tight jeans? Probably not. But I had no problem carrying it in the front pocket of my sweatpants or khaki shorts. For its power, it’s surprisingly manageable.

Venty vaporizer dimensions:
• Height: 6.18” (15.7 cm)
• Width: 2.17” (5.5 cm)
• Depth: 1.46” (3.7 cm)
• Weight: 252 g (just over half a pound)

Given the long battery life and durable build, I found it easy to toss the Venty and a small tube of dry herb into a bag and feel set for a weekend away.

How to Clean the Venty Vaporizer

For a powerful dry herb vape, the Venty vaporizer is surprisingly easy to clean. The cooling unit separates into two halves and wipes down easily with isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs.

Our full Cleaning and Maintenance Guide is coming soon, but here are a few quick tips in the meantime:

  • Empty the bowl immediately after each session to avoid stuck herbs and clogged screens.
  • Brush out the oven and screen while the unit is still warm—but not hot—for easier debris removal.
  • Disassemble the cooling unit and wipe it down regularly to maintain flavor and airflow.

Leaving spent herbs in the oven too long can lead to buildup and make cleaning more difficult. Stay ahead of it and your Venty will keep performing like new.

Venty Vaporizer Review What's in the Box

What I Didn’t Like About the Venty Vaporizer

The Venty vaporizer hits a lot of highs, but no vaporizer is perfect. Here’s my short list of complaints—none of which are dealbreakers, but worth knowing.

  • It’s big. When Storz & Bickel looked to improve the Mighty, they added faster heat-up time and better airflow—which is great—but also made it taller. Why? If you want something smaller, the Crafty+ is your best bet.
Side-by-side size comparison of Venty and Mighty+ vaporizers
The Venty is slightly taller and thicker than the Mighty+, but also narrower—overall, it feels a bit smaller in-hand.
  • Boost and Superboost return to baseline too quickly. The 90-second timer resets the temp after boosting. I'd rather stay at that higher temp until I say otherwise. A future firmware update or web app setting could fix this.
  • It’s expensive — $449. That makes it the most expensive portable vaporizer on the market—more than some desktops. The value is there, but the price is still steep.
  • The cooling unit sits slightly misaligned when tightened. It doesn’t impact performance at all, but every unit I’ve tested had this slight skew. On a $449 vape, I expected tighter tolerances.

I’ve handled six Ventys and they all have this slight misalignment. Performance is unaffected—but still a little annoying at this price point.

Venty Vaporizer Warranty

Storz & Bickel covers the Venty with a 2-year warranty for workmanship and manufacturer defects—plus a third year when you register your device.

As always, Planet of the Vapes backs your purchase with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If it’s not right for you, we’ll make it right.

Tips for Best Results with the Venty

Storz & Bickel’s design removes the guesswork from draw speed—you’ll get thick, flavorful vapor either way. But how you pack the bowl still matters:

✔️ Don’t overpack—keep herbs fluffy and loose.

✔️ Never tamp the herbs down—the cooling unit should sit comfortably without compressing the load.

Here’s my go-to method for a full session:

  • Grind herbs to a medium-to-coarse consistency.
  • Load about 0.2g—or loosely fill the oven to the top.
  • Attach the cooling unit and power on the Venty.
  • Start at the default temp (356 °F / 180 °C).
  • Once the unit vibrates and the screen turns green, start drawing—sip or rip as you like.
  • When flavor fades, double-press the power button to Boost (383 °F / 195 °C).
  • After a few hits, double-press again to activate Superboost (410 °F / 210 °C).
  • Vape until vapor fades or you’re satisfied.
  • Turn off the Venty, empty the bowl, brush the screen, and reattach the cooling unit.

You can stop the session at any point or temp—but this progression lets me enjoy the bright flavors early and the heavy hits late.

Who Should Buy the Venty Vaporizer?

The Venty is built for people who want the best portable vaporizer experience - and are willing to invest in it. If you prioritize premium vapor quality, ease of use, and smart airflow tech, the Venty delivers.

Vapor is thick, tasty, and consistently satisfying—classic Storz & Bickel performance. But it’s the adjustable airflow that really elevates this device. Draws are effortless thanks to the Venty’s wide-open 20 lpm flow rate, making it an ideal vape for:

  • Users who find tight draws uncomfortable or restrictive
  • Those upgrading from older portables like the Crafty+
  • Anyone who wants thick vapor with minimal effort
  • Tech-savvy vapers who want smart customization via app

If you're after the most comfortable, consistent, and powerful dry herb vape experience in a portable form, the Venty is it.

Who Should Skip the Venty Vaporizer?

The $449 price tag makes the Venty one of the most expensive portable vaporizers on the market—and that alone puts it out of reach for many users.

If you're already satisfied with a Storz & Bickel portable vaporizer like the Crafty+ or Mighty+, and don’t mind the slower heat-up time or slightly more restricted draw, there’s no urgent reason to upgrade.

The vapor quality is very similar across all S&B portables. The Venty shines when you want:

  • Faster sessions (20-second heat-up)
  • Effortless, wide-open airflow
  • App-based control and fine-tuning

But if those upgrades don’t matter to you, you may want to stick with your current setup—or check out more affordable options.

Conclusion: Is the Venty Vaporizer Worth It?

It turns out the “Mighty-killer” we’ve all been waiting for came from the Mighty’s own maker. The Venty is the only vaporizer I’ve tested that surpasses the Mighty+, and it comes impressively close to delivering a full Volcano Hybrid bag experience—in my pocket.

I haven’t picked up my Mighty+ since getting the Venty. With its unmatched airflow, 20-second heat-up, and consistent, top-tier vapor quality, it raises the bar for what a portable dry herb vaporizer can be. I expect the entire portable market will be chasing the Venty for years to come.

If you can afford the Venty, get one. It’s that good.

For a final note—my wife is a medicinal user managing multiple types of inflammation. We’ve tested nearly every vaporizer on the market, and the only ones she’s ever requested by name are the POTV Lobo and the Venty.

She loves the Lobo for its powerful, fast-acting effects—and the Venty for its smooth, effortless hits. Now we own two: one for her, and one for me.

The Venty sets a new standard, surpassing the Mighty+ with effortless airflow and Volcano-level vapor in a pocket-friendly design.

Venty Vaporizer Review: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Venty vaporizer worth it?
A: Yes—if it fits your budget. The Venty delivers unmatched airflow, a responsive heater that adapts to your draw speed, and consistent top-shelf vapor. It’s one of the best portable vapes available today.

Q: Should I get the Venty or the Mighty+?
A: I’d pick the Venty every time. For just $50 more, you get faster heat-up time, much easier draws, and better tech. If you value performance and ease, the Venty is the clear upgrade.

Q: What’s the best portable dry herb vaporizer?
A: There’s no one-size-fits-all vape. But the Venty is among the few I’d recommend to almost anyone. It balances vapor quality, power, and usability better than most, and works for both beginners and seasoned users.

Q: Does the Venty work with concentrates?
A: Officially, no—it’s made for dry herbs only. You can add a small amount of concentrate to a bowl of herb, but Storz & Bickel removed the old mesh pads, and using too much can damage the heater.

Q: How long does the Venty battery last?
A: On a full charge, you can expect 12–14 bowls per charge. That translates to around 90–100 hits depending on your style and temperature settings.
