What’s the best thing that has happened to the vaping fraternity in 2023? While several products and upgrades are contenders for this title, I would name the Venty Vaporizer as the best one. Storz and Bickel kept improving and reinventing the older product lines like Mighty, Crafty, and Volcano since 2014, but it all changed with the launch of the Venty Vaporizer in 2023.
As the name suggests, the Venty Vaporizer vents every bit of air passed through the dry herbs. The flow meter technology dynamically heats the vapors, while the adjustable airflow can vary the air output up to 20 liters per minute. The promises are there for us to assess and judge whether the features align with the claims.
This review will cover all those claims and promises that Storz and Bickel made. I already know that this device will have something exciting and new for us while retaining the same German efficiency.
The box seemed very simple for a device for which the manufacturer has kept us waiting for 10 long years. It has features and details mentioned at the bottom of the device. However, I cut the box open to see what was inside.
The box included a Venty Vaporizer, a USB-C charging cable, a set of screens for the chamber, and cleaning tools. The device looked nothing like the Mighty and Crafty because it had a unique shape. However, the PEEK material body had the same feel as the previous models.
Pros
Heavy-duty and durable design.
Dynamic heating with an advanced flow meter.
20 liters per minute airflow is more than decent.
Fast heating time.
A hybrid heating system for a blend of fast and consistent heating.
Supercharging technology fills the battery in a short time.
Booster and superbooster modes give you a decent hike in temperature.
The LCD screen and simple button controls are convenient to handle.
The Venty Vaporizer is similar to other Storz and Bickel products because it is made of PEEK material and has no color options for those users who demand colorful products. The body is easy to grip due to the grooves, but the size is not easy to hold or carry if you are a frequent traveler. The 6.2-inch tall body with 1.85 inch width and 1.46 inch depth is awkward to fit inside the pocket. The 252-gram weight can get your hand tired if you are not used to carrying bulky vaping devices.
Despite the comparability shortcomings, the Venty Vaporizer is a heavy-duty device that has a sturdy and durable body. The safe and heat-resistant PEEK material adds more value than the shiny metallic outer. It stands firm with no wobble, but I would suggest keeping it in a lateral position because the upright orientation is a bit stable for the height-to-width ratio.
The heating chamber is made of ceramic to prevent thedry herbs from burning. However, the capacity is not as good as that of other vaping devices in the same price range. The user’s safety is ensured as the company has maintained a leakage-free and heat-resistant profile (which its body material is primarily known for).
Performance and Vaping Experience
The Venty Vaporizer is a high-quality device with a premium vapor production mechanism. It produces aerosols with an active draw through the lungs. However, the breakthrough feature is the flow meter that assesses the negative draw pressure and dynamically adjusts the heat intensity to maintain consistency. The air dial beneath the mouthpiece can increase the airflow up to 20 liters per minute. This unrestricted flow of vapors is second to none in the market.
The vapor quality is never compromised because the labyrinth airpath provides enough time for the vapors to cool down. I like using the Venty Vaporizer at higher temperatures because the dry herb never burns, and you can adjust the temperature up to 240 degrees Celsius. The booster and superbooster modes are also available for a quick boost for those smokers who demand strong vapors.
The chamber capacity of the Venty Vaporizer is not as impressive as that of other vaping devices on the market. It can hold up to 1.4 centimeter cubes of dry herbs inside, which translates to around 0.15 grams. The chamber is coated with hard ceramic to prevent the dry herbs from burning and losing their flavor.
It is powered by a combination of conduction and convection technology, where the conduction heating cooks the dry herbs in 17 seconds. You can set the temperature intensities precisely by pressing the up and down buttons on the device.
Battery life, Charging, and Power Management
The Venty Vaporizer has a decent battery inside its heavy-duty body. It has a battery life of 60 to 90 minutes, which translates into 10 to 12 sessions and around 10 bowls per charging cycle. The core contains two 18650 lithium-ion batteries with a maximum power output of 130 watts and 16 amperes. An average user will find the Venty Vaporizer a value-added device due to its decent battery life and fast charging time.
The USB-C charging port supports super charging technology that takes around 40 minutes to fill 80% of the battery. The supercharging technology really complements the hour-long average battery life because even a busy smoker can spare 40 minutes to let the battery charge. The battery is internal, so you cannot purchase an extra set to add more hours to your smoking sessions. The battery life and charging status are communicated via the LCD screen, and the two-minute autoshut-off feature ensures that you do not lose any charge.
Ease of Use / User Experience
The Venty Vaporizer is one of the simplest vaping devices to use if high-tech devices are not what you are looking for. It has a dual button control that enables adjusting the temperature like TV volume. The LCD screen on the face is prominent and shows every little detail that you will need to operate this device. The stats are to the point but effective enough to help you know the status.
The haptic feedback makes controlling hassle-free because you get an alert when the batch is prepared, or the device is turning on or off. The two-minute shutoff saves battery when your device is inactive. However, the most value-added feature is the Bluetooth App that gives you the leverage to smoke and control the device at your convenience.
The Venty Vaporizer does not leak because the German build is potent and safe enough to prevent spillage. The loading mechanism is pretty simple when compared to devices with more complex parts. It requires you to detach the cooling unit to open the heating chamber. The cleaning is simple, as you can easily access the chamber and scrape off the residue of dry herbs.
Safety, Reliability, and Build Integrity
The Venty Vaporizer has one of the safest components on the market. The PEEK body material is medically graded to prevent emission of radiation. The company has acquired certifications to ensure that the device is heavy metal tested and free from toxins. Moreover, every part is leakage-free, airtight, and heat-resistant.
Compatibility & Flexibility
It only needs a batch of semi-grounded dry herb to start smoking with the Venty Vaporizer. The device is compatible with dry herbs only. You need no concentrate or cartridge to use the Venty Vaporizer. The accessories contain no bongs or e-nail adaptors.
Comparisons & Alternatives
The best alternatives to the Venty Vaporizer are the dry herb vaping devices like the DaVinci IQ3 and Mighty Plus Vaporizer. The DaVinci devices are more compact and stylish while maintaining a decent chamber capacity and flavor profile. For people demanding the Storz and Bickel goodness for a hectic traveling routine, the Mighty Plus and Crafty Plus Vaporizers are the best options available. The price is comparatively lower, but the performance features are not as advanced as the Venty Vaporizer.
Pricing, Value, and Long-term Cost
The Venty Vaporizer is available on the official website for $525. As a Storz and Bickel device, this price range is understandable and in line with other products developed by the company. When compared with other brands, this device is overpriced. Irrespective of the dynamic heating technology and consistent airflow, the Venty Vaporizer is less affordable. I would recommend going for the DaVinci products to get better value for your hard-earned money.
Final Verdict and Recommendation
The Venty Vaporizer is on par with the best Storz and Bickel devices because it has the precedent-setting durable build and consistent heating mechanism. The German quality is combined with the innovative technology, where the flow meter and air dial help maintain the airflow throughout the smoking session.
I recommend this device to all those smokers who like to chase flavor rather than flexing stylish devices. Beginners and novice users will like the Venty Vaporizer due to its simple controls and web app connectivity. The precise temperature settings are ideal for experienced users. However, a frequent traveler might not find this value-adding due to its awkward size and design.
Purchase this beast for a flavorful yet powerful smoking experience while on the go. The brand loyalty of Storz and Bickel says a lot about its product quality and value addition.
