Staff Picks - Venty by Storz and Bickel
"Storz & Bickel, you have done it again – another big hitter and game-changer in the dry herb vape industry. The Venty produces excellent vapour quality, with rich flavour and adjustable airflow, allowing up to 20 litres of air per minute. It boasts a newly designed mini-heater with a 20-second heat-up time. The Venty is 3x more powerful at 130 watts, maintaining vapour potency at any draw speed or intensity, keeping up with even the big, lung-busting inhales."
Introduction to The Venty:
Storz and Bickel's newest addition to their dry herb vaporiser lineup, the Venty, has generated immense anticipation over the past five years. Expanding their collection, Storz and Bickel offers a range of vaporisers, including the Volcano Hybrid, Mighty Plus, Mighty OG, Crafty Plus, Volcano Classic, and the Plenty. Notably, the Venty stands out as the pinnacle of technological advancement within the Storz and Bickel product line, likely setting a benchmark for the entire market.
How it works.
The Venty features a newly designed convection and conduction mini-heater, boasting a whopping 130-watt heater, the largest currently available in a portable dry herb vape. Another main feature is adjustable airflow, enabling you to find your own sweet spot. At the maximum stage, the Venty's airflow amounts to an impressive 20 litres per minute – the highest airflow featured in an S&B portable vaporiser. The Venty also includes a flow meter, measuring the negative pressure of your inhalation and dynamically adjusting the heating to match your draw, ensuring excellent and consistent results regardless of inhalation intensity.
Differences from the Mighty and Crafty:
Initially, the shape and look of the Venty threw me off, but once I held it and used it more, I fell in love with it. It sits in the hand much better, eliminating the bulky, Mighty grip. Notably, the Venty's heat management is superior – by moving the batteries below the heating unit, unlike the Crafty and the Mighty, the Venty doesn't get as hot, making it comfortable to hold. While not the smallest or most discreet, the Venty offers vapour quality and extraction efficiency comparable to other S&B products, without the discomfort of excess heat. The open airflow of the Venty stands out when compared side by side with the Mighty, providing a less restrictive experience and reducing the "Bickel tickle," especially during large direct lung inhales.
