The Venty Vaporizer by Storz & Bickel stands out as the latest innovation in portable dry herb vaporizers. Designed with an efficient cooling system and customizable airflow, it promises an exceptional vaping experience. Whether you’re a seasoned user or new to vaping, the Venty’s quick heat-up time and adjustable features make it a top choice.
The build quality of the Venty is robust, reflecting the high standards of its German manufacturer. The device offers a broad heat range, from 104°F to 410°F, allowing users to tailor their sessions precisely. Additionally, its battery life supports extended use, ensuring the device is ready whenever needed.
The Venty’s performance is enhanced by its unique airflow mechanism and high-performance cooling unit. These features combine to produce smooth, flavorful vapor, confirming its reputation for unbeatable vapor quality.
Keep in mind, it is designed exclusively for dry herbs. It does not support concentrates, and there is no compatible mesh pad for such use. But for those of you that focus on using dry herbs- it is worth the price as it consistently delivers rich and potent vapor that rivals the Volcano Hybrid desktop model.
The new innovative design and reliability make it a worthy successor to previous S&B portable models like The Crafty and The Mighty.

Design and Build Quality
Like all Storz & Bickel vaporizers, The Venty is made from high-quality materials that ensure long-term usage while maintaining a sleek appearance for ease of use.
Materials and Durability
The Venty Vaporizer is constructed from top-grade materials, including stainless steel and medical-grade plastic. This selection guarantees a robust build that can withstand daily wear and tear. The choice of materials contributes to its excellent heat resistance, ensuring the exterior stays cool even during prolonged use.
Portability doesn’t compromise its strength. Weighing approximately a half pound (252 grams), the Venty is heavier than many of its competitors. The trade off is that it feels sturdy, dependable and more robust. The compact dimensions make it easy to fit into bags or pockets without being too bulky.
Ergonomics and Aesthetics
The Venty’s design prioritizes user comfort and style. Its ergonomic shape fits naturally in hand, reducing strain during extended sessions. Smooth edges and a matte finish enhance the grip, minimizing the risk of slipping.
Visually, the Venty stands out with a sleek and modern look. The intuitive controls are well-placed, making it easy for both beginners and experienced users to navigate functions without hassle.
Technical Specs
Battery Life and Charging

It uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides extended usage on a single charge, making it ideal for both home and on-the-go use. Charging is handled via a USB-C port, enabling faster charging times compared to older models. A full charge can be achieved in about 90 minutes.

Quick heat-up time is a standout feature, with the device reaching the set temperature in just 20 seconds. This rapid heating ensures minimal wait time and provides a more efficient vaping experience.
Heating Element
The heating element in the Venty Vaporizer is made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance. It utilizes a hybrid heating mechanism that combines both convection and conduction methods. This hybrid system ensures that the herbs are evenly heated, maximizing vapor production and flavor.
The heating element can sustain the set temperature consistently, reducing the need to constantly adjust settings. This heating system is also energy-efficient, contributing to the longer battery life of the device.
Safety Features
One of our favorite features of The Venty is that it is designed with several safety features to ensure a secure user experience.
Automatic Shut-off: The device has an automatic shut-off feature that activates after a period of inactivity, helping to prevent overheating.
Temperature Control: With precise temperature control ranging from 40°C to 210°C, users can maintain optimal heat settings to avoid combustion.
Battery Protection: The Venty includes overcharge and short-circuit protection for its two lithium-ion 18650 batteries. This safeguards the device and extends battery life.
Pass-through Charging: Users can safely use the vaporizer while it’s charging, thanks to its pass-through charging capability. This ensures continuous use without overheating.
Airflow Adjustment: The adjustable airflow feature allows customization up to 20 liters per minute, ensuring a cool and controlled vapor output.
These safety features make the Venty a reliable choice for those who value both performance and safety.
Venty vs Mighty+
Venty vs. Competitors
Our most recent prior product review as the updated Mighty+ model. We feel that is a good comparison for this new model. With that said, The Venty stands out for its quick 20-second heat-up time, a feature that surpasses the 60-second time of the Mighty+. This allows users to start their sessions faster which might be crucial for medical users.
The adjustable airflow is also a game changer for those that wish to dial in the right dose.
Both the Venty and the Mighty+ integrate dual 18650 Li-Ion batteries. The Venty has a battery capacity of 5940 mAh, while the Mighty+ has 6600 mAh. Both can operate for around 90 minutes of continuous use. This ensures that users have ample time for their sessions without constant recharging, making them reliable choices.
Price to Performance Ratio
The Venty vaporizer is priced at $449.00 $353. While this is a considerable investment, the device’s improved performance justifies the cost in our opinion. With quick heat-up time, hybrid convection/conduction heating method, and efficient battery life contribute to its value.
Additionally, the adjustable airflow and potent, flavorful vapor offer an unmatched experience. Despite the higher price, the Venty’s advanced features and reliable performance make it a worthy choice among dry herb vaporizers.
