Introduction
The Storz & Bickel Venty is the latest flagship portable from the German legends behind the Mighty+. It promises ultra-fast heat-up, next-level airflow, app support, and USB-C charging. But with a premium price tag and reports of early error issues, is it really worth it?
I’m Danny Foggs, your dry herb vape reviewer and outdoor trekker. I’ve tested the Venty everywhere from Sunday chill sessions to windy hikes in the Yorkshire Dales. Here’s my hands-on Storz & Bickel Venty review UK buyers can trust — the good, the bad, and everything in between.
What’s Included
- Storz & Bickel Venty vaporizer
- USB-C charging cable
- Dosing capsule
- Chamber filling tools
- Spare screens + o-rings
- Quick-start guide
👉 As usual, S&B give you practical accessories, not fluff. The dosing capsule is especially handy for micro-dosing or pre-loading before heading out.
Build Quality and Design
The Venty keeps the ribbed, rugged design we expect from Storz & Bickel, but it’s slimmer and more modern-looking than the Mighty+. In hand, it feels solid and built to last.
It’s no Apple-style fashion piece, but that’s not what S&B are about. This is German engineering designed for performance.
Portability and Concealment
At 252 g, it’s lighter and slightly smaller than the Mighty+, but still too chunky for a jeans pocket. It fits a jacket pocket or backpack nicely.
Stealth rating: Better than the Mighty+, but nowhere near as discreet as a Crafty+ or XMAX V3 Pro. If subtlety matters, this isn’t your tool.
Heating and Temperature Options
- Hybrid convection/conduction heating
- Heat-up time: ~20 seconds (I clocked 22s in cool autumn air)
- Precise digital temp control: 40–210°C
This is the biggest upgrade over the Mighty+. The near-instant heat-up is brilliant when you want quick hits without hanging around. Perfect for impatient vapers (like me) or sneaky trailside rips.
Chamber Info and Loading Tips
- Chamber fits up to 0.25 g (0.1 g with dosing capsule)
- Top-loading design with swivel cooling unit
💡Danny’s tip: Pair the Venty with dosing capsules — they work even better here thanks to the improved airflow, giving you satisfying hits even on smaller loads.
Vapor Quality and Performance
The airflow boost is the headline act. You can draw hard and still get cool, smooth vapor. Flavour is top-tier, clouds are thick, and terpenes stay fresh throughout the session.
Real-world nuance: if you’re used to the tighter pull of the Mighty+, you might rip too hard at first and burn through a bowl quicker than expected. Takes a little adjustment.
Still, in my testing, the Venty delivered some of the smoothest, tastiest vapor of any portable vape in 2025.
Battery Info and Charging
- Battery life: ~90 minutes (10–12 sessions)
- Charging: USB-C with Supercharge (≈80% in 40 mins)
- Pass-through charging: Yes
Cold weather will still nibble 15–20% off runtime, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I topped it up mid-hike with a power bank and it worked flawlessly. USB-C is a major win here.
Apps & Smart Features
Unlike the Mighty+, the Venty has Bluetooth app support. You can adjust temp curves, airflow profiles, and even fine-tune performance.
Danny’s take: great for tinkerers, but honestly the stock settings are already excellent. Nice extra, not essential.
Cleaning, Maintenance & Reliability
Like the Mighty+, the chamber wipes clean easily, but the cooling unit needs a proper ISO soak every few sessions. With the bigger airflow, debris can travel faster, so expect to clean a bit more often.
⚠️Important note: some early Venty units have had error issues — random shutdowns or error codes. Storz & Bickel are replacing faulty devices under warranty, but it’s not ideal when you’ve paid top money.
We expect newer production runs to fix these teething problems, but buyers should be aware this is still a first-generation product.
Comparisons
- Mighty+ – reliable and proven, but slower heat-up and tighter airflow.
- Crafty+ – more compact, but weaker battery and less power.
- Tinymight 2 – harder-hitting and highly customisable, but with a steeper learning curve.
Verdict: the Venty feels like a true Mighty+ 2.0, but you pay for the privilege (and risk early-run errors).
Conclusion
The Storz & Bickel Venty is an impressive step forward: lightning-fast heat-up, brilliant airflow, USB-C charging, and optional app tweaks. Vapor quality is exceptional, and it feels future-proof.
But… it’s expensive, not stealthy, and some early units have had reliability hiccups. Storz & Bickel will replace them, but it’s not the smoothest ownership experience out of the box.
👉 Best for: flavour lovers, group sharers, and anyone who wants the ultimate Mighty upgrade.
👉 Not for: stealth vapers, budget buyers, or anyone nervous about early-gen glitches.

💨Danny Foggs’ Verdict:
The Venty is Storz & Bickel showing off. It’s faster, smoother, and smarter than the Mighty+. But being first in line comes with a few glitches. If you’re ready to pay for the best — and can live with early adopter quirks — the Venty is a beast.
