The Veazy is the newest portable vaporizer from Storz and Bickel and retails for $249. It uses the same type of hybrid heating system found in the other S&B portables, along with a ceramic-coated chamber. You can also use the standard Storz and Bickel dosing capsules, so there’s nothing new to buy if you already have some. You get three temperature settings from the button, USB-C charging and a full temperature range through the web app.
The big change here is that Storz and Bickel finally made one of these things properly light. The Veazy weighs 134 grams, which is almost half the weight of the 252-gram Venty. It’s still not tiny, but this is much easier to put in a pocket and forget about for a while.
Vapor quality is right up there with the other Storz and Bickel portables and the Veazy is extremely easy to use. The airflow is more restricted than the Venty and there’s no display for precise temperature changes directly on the device. Neither has bothered me enough to take away from what the Veazy does well.
Battery life is the biggest downside with the Veazy. You can expect around three to five bowls on a full charge, and the battery is built into the vaporizer. That’s fine for a few sessions, but I wish the battery was replaceable.
The Veazy comes with one dosing capsule, three normal screens, three coarse screens, two O-rings, a filling chamber tool, cleaning brush and a USB-C to USB-C cable. There’s no charging brick in the box. Other than that, you have everything you need to start using it.
The Veazy comes with one dosing capsule, which is nice if you haven’t used them before and want to try one out. They keep most of the herb contained and help keep the chamber cleaner. You can also preload a few before heading out and leave the grinder and loose herb at home. I prefer loading the chamber without them because the capsules add a little more draw resistance.
The Veazy case is probably the only other accessory I would consider right away. It gives the vaporizer some protection and keeps everything together when you put it in a backpack. I would use the Veazy for a while before buying anything else.
Size and Portability
The Veazy is 5.28 inches tall, 2.38 inches wide and 1.46 inches deep. It weighs 134 grams, so it’s pretty easy to carry around and fits in a pocket without much trouble. This is one of the smaller Storz and Bickel portables and definitely easier to carry than the Venty.
The Venty weighs 252 grams and you notice that difference once you start carrying these things around. The Veazy is shorter and not nearly as bulky. I would have no problem throwing it in a pocket for a few sessions away from the house.
You also get four color options with the Veazy: Charming Pink, Inspiring Orange, Dynamic Blue and Alluring Black. I like seeing Storz and Bickel finally move away from the black plastic look they’ve used for years. The colors don’t change anything about the vaporizer, but they make the Veazy a little more interesting.
Build Quality and Design
The Veazy has the familiar ribbed plastic body Storz and Bickel uses on its portable vaporizers. The shell is made from PEEK plastic, and the ribs give you plenty to hold onto without adding much weight. It doesn’t have the premium feel of a metal vaporizer, but I like the lighter plastic construction here.
There’s one button on the front, LED lights around it and no display. The Veazy vibrates when it reaches temperature, so you don’t really need to keep looking at it while it heats up. Press the button, wait for the vibration and start taking draws.
The cooling unit twists onto the top and can be taken apart when it needs cleaning. The mouthpiece folds down against the cooling unit when you’re finished. I like the folding mouthpiece on a portable this small because there’s nothing sticking out when you put the Veazy in a pocket or backpack.
Heating and Temperature Control
The Veazy keeps the temperature controls pretty simple. Turn it on and it starts heating to the first preset, then double-click the button for Booster and do it again for Superbooster. It takes around 40 seconds to reach temperature, although the exact time can change with the battery level and conditions.
The default temperature starts at 180°C (356°F), and you can change the three presets through the Storz and Bickel Web App. The full range runs from 40°C to 210°C (104°F to 410°F). I would have liked precise temperature control on the Veazy itself, but once you have the three presets where you want them, there isn’t much reason to keep going back to the app.
I like starting at the lower temperature and moving up through the boost settings as the bowl starts to fade. You get the better flavor at the beginning and can raise the temperature later to finish the bowl. Three settings are plenty for the way I would use the Veazy.
Vapor Quality and Airflow
The Veazy produces the kind of vapor I would expect from a Storz and Bickel portable. You get good flavor at the lower temperatures, and the vapor gets thicker as you move up through the boost settings. The cooling unit does a good job too, especially considering how small the Veazy is.
The airflow is more restricted than the Venty, but it’s still pretty easy to draw from. Storz and Bickel rates the Veazy at up to 10 liters per minute, compared with up to 20 liters per minute on the Venty. You notice the difference between them, but I don’t think the Veazy feels overly restricted.
There isn’t much technique involved either. Take a slow, steady draw and the hybrid heater does most of the work. The Veazy extracts the bowl pretty evenly, and you shouldn’t need to stop halfway through and stir the herbs.
Chamber, Loading and Efficiency
The Veazy doesn’t need a tight pack to work well. I would use a medium grind and fill the chamber loosely up to the top. Pack it down too much and you’ll start restricting the airflow. You don’t need to stir the bowl during the session either.
You can use less herb without changing anything. Storz and Bickel specifically says the Veazy can be used with a partially filled chamber, so you don’t have to load a full bowl every time. I like having that option on a session vaporizer this small.
Dosing capsules work here too, but I wouldn’t use them just for the sake of using them. They’re more useful when you want the herb contained or you already have capsules loaded and ready to go. For normal use at home, I would put the herb straight into the chamber.
Battery Life and Charging
Battery life is pretty limited on the Veazy. I’ve been getting around 40 minutes of continuous use, or about three to five bowls depending on how I’m using it. Those numbers will move around with temperature, session length and how many times you’re starting with a cold vaporizer.
The battery is internal and non-replaceable. I would much rather have a replaceable battery, especially once the Veazy starts getting older. For now, three to five bowls is enough for a few sessions, but you’ll need to charge it if you plan on using it much more than that.
A full charge takes around 60 to 80 minutes over USB-C. The quick charge gets you to 80% in about 40 minutes, which isn’t bad considering the shorter battery life. Storz and Bickel includes the USB-C cable but not the charging brick.
Web App and Controls
The Veazy only has one button and no display, so most of the feedback comes from the LEDs and vibration. The button turns the vaporizer on and moves between the three temperature settings. Once you know the controls, there really isn’t much to it.
The web app gives you access to the settings that wouldn’t make much sense crammed onto a one-button vaporizer. You can set the Base, Booster and Superbooster temperatures, adjust the LED brightness and change the vibration settings. I would set the temperatures once and leave them alone.
The main annoyance is iPhone support. There’s no regular iOS app, so you need a compatible browser to connect to the Veazy. I would rather have precise temperature controls on the vaporizer itself, but the three presets cover most of what I would want to do anyway.
Battery Life and Charging
The Veazy charges over USB-C and gets back to 80% in about 40 minutes. The Veazy uses a built-in battery, so there’s no option to swap in a fresh one when it runs out. It charges over USB-C and takes around 60–80 minutes for a full charge. You get a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, but Storz and Bickel doesn’t include the charging brick. Around 40 minutes of continuous use is a reasonable expectation, with roughly three to five bowls depending on how you use it. I would have liked a replaceable battery here, especially once the original battery starts losing capacity later on.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Most of the cleaning on the Veazy is in the cooling unit. It comes apart into a few different pieces, and eventually you’ll start getting residue around the screens and inside the vapor path. You’ll know it’s getting dirty when the draw starts feeling more restricted. That’s usually when I would take it apart and give everything a good cleaning.
The chamber is pretty easy to keep clean as long as you brush it out after your sessions. I would do it while the chamber is still warm because the leftover herb comes out a lot easier. Dosing capsules help keep some of that mess out of the chamber, but they don’t get you out of cleaning the cooling unit. You’ll still need to clean the screens and the rest of the vapor path once residue starts building up.
A full cleaning takes a little more time because the cooling unit has to come apart and go back together. It isn’t difficult, but there are definitely vaporizers with simpler cleaning routines. Replacement screens, O-rings, mouthpieces and complete cooling units are available, so you can replace the smaller parts as they wear out instead of replacing the Veazy.
Veazy Vaporizer Problems and Fixes
The main Veazy problem I would keep an eye on is the USB-C charging port. There have been repeated owner reports of the connection becoming intermittent, where the Veazy only charges when the cable is sitting a certain way or keeps connecting and disconnecting. That doesn’t mean every Veazy is going to have a bad charging port, but I think there are enough reports to know about it before buying. I would use the warranty if the connection starts acting up instead of continuing to move the cable around until it works.
If the Veazy stops charging, I would start with another USB-C cable and charger. It might just be a bad cable, and that’s easy enough to rule out. If you have to move the cable around or hold it a certain way to get the Veazy charging, I would contact Storz and Bickel. I wouldn’t open the vaporizer and try to fix the charging port myself.
The battery life can also seem pretty short, but three to five bowls is about what you should expect from the Veazy. You might get a little more or less depending on the temperatures you use and how long your sessions run. Starting from a cold vaporizer every time will use more battery too. I would only start worrying about the battery if the runtime suddenly gets much worse than what you normally get. I would be more concerned if the same Veazy suddenly starts getting considerably less runtime without anything changing in how you use it. The battery isn’t replaceable, so an actual battery failure is another problem I would send to Storz and Bickel.
The other thing you may notice over time is the draw getting harder. The Veazy already has more draw resistance than the Venty, but it shouldn’t continue getting tighter as you use it. Check the screens and cooling unit first because residue in the vapor path can restrict the airflow quite a bit. Give everything a good cleaning and replace a clogged screen if needed before assuming there’s something wrong with the vaporizer.
Reliability and Warranty
The Veazy comes with a two-year warranty from Storz and Bickel. You can register the Veazy in your S&B account, but unlike the Venty and Mighty+, registration does not add another year of warranty coverage. I would definitely keep the receipt because Storz and Bickel requires proof of purchase for warranty claims. If something does go wrong, you can start the warranty process through your S&B account.
The USB-C charging port is the main thing I would watch on the Veazy. There are enough owner reports of the connection becoming intermittent that I wouldn’t ignore it. If you start having to move the cable around to get it charging, I would just use the warranty. The battery is built into the Veazy anyway, so I wouldn’t mess around trying to repair the port myself.
The good news is that the normal wear parts aren’t difficult to replace. Storz and Bickel sells replacement cooling units, mouthpieces, screens and seal rings, so you don’t have to replace the whole Veazy when one of those parts wears out. I like that you can replace the cooling unit, mouthpiece, screens and seals without much trouble. Those are the parts that are going to wear out or get dirty over time, so it’s nice being able to replace them. The Veazy comes with a two-year warranty, which is fine. I just wish Storz and Bickel gave it the extra year you can get with some of their other portable vaporizers.
Price and Value
The Crafty+ is what makes the Veazy’s $249 price interesting to me. If you find the Crafty+ around $200, there’s still a good reason to save the money. It has been around for years, the vapor quality is still good and there are plenty of replacement parts and accessories available for it. I wouldn’t replace a working Crafty+ with a Veazy either.
For a new purchase, I would rather have the Veazy once the prices start getting close. It’s the newer S&B portable, heats up faster and weighs basically the same. You’re not getting a huge change in the way these vaporizers work, but at a small enough price difference I would take the Veazy.
There are cheaper vaporizers that give you more for the money on paper. The POTV Lobo has a replaceable 18650 battery and precise temperature controls directly on the vaporizer for considerably less. That makes the Lobo hard to beat on straight value, but I don’t think that makes $249 unreasonable for the Veazy.
Veazy vs Venty
I like the Veazy for the times when I don’t really need everything the Venty gives me. It’s 134 grams, fits in a pocket much easier and still gives you the same kind of relaxed S&B session. Load the chamber, wait for it to heat up and take your draws. There isn’t much work involved with either vaporizer.
The Venty starts making more sense once you use them for longer. You get much more battery life, and the adjustable airflow can open all the way up to 20 liters per minute. The Veazy is rated at 10 liters per minute and the draw is noticeably tighter. There’s also more heater power behind the Venty, which is useful when you’re putting several bowls through it.
I would take the Veazy for the shorter outings I already use it for. Golfing is different because I’ve already had the Veazy run out before the round was over, and that’s where I would rather have the Venty. The Veazy saves $200 and a lot of weight, but I wouldn’t save the money if I already knew I needed the extra battery life.
Who Should Buy the Veazy?
The Veazy is a good fit if you like the Storz and Bickel way of doing things but want something smaller. There’s one button, three temperature settings and not much technique involved in getting a good session. The Veazy is pretty easy to get along with. You can load the chamber loosely, smaller loads work fine and there’s no reason to stop and stir halfway through the bowl. There isn’t much technique involved once you start using it.
Battery life is pretty limited on the Veazy. Around three to five bowls is a reasonable expectation, which is enough if you’re only using it a few times before getting back to a charger. Once the battery is dead, you have to charge it.
If you’re going through bowl after bowl, I would get the Venty. You’re getting considerably more battery life, more heater power and much more open airflow. The Veazy makes more sense when you want the smaller S&B portable and don’t need all of that extra performance every day.
Final Verdict
I like the Veazy because it finally gives you the Storz and Bickel session in a much lighter vaporizer. It weighs 134 grams, and that makes a pretty big difference next to the Venty or Mighty+. You can put it in a pocket or throw it in a backpack without carrying around one of the bigger S&B portables. Vapor quality is still very good and there isn’t much work involved in getting through a bowl.
There are a couple things I would change. The airflow is tighter than the Venty and three to five bowls from a charge isn’t a lot, especially when the battery can’t be swapped out. Neither is a small difference if you use a vaporizer heavily, and in that case I would spend more on the Venty.
For everyone else, the Veazy makes a lot of sense at $249. You’re getting very good vapor quality, simple controls, dosing capsule compatibility and a much smaller S&B portable to carry around. I think Storz and Bickel got this one right.
