The Venty is pricey, but is it worth it?
This vape is $450 and only available from Storz & Bickel at first. That’s the highest price I’ve ever seen for a portable vape, but the tech in this thing looks like it will be worth it for vapor nerds and anyone who wants stellar vapor for any style. At the time of this stream, Troy and I only had the Venty for a few hours, so we’re gonna test it out together and see how it goes!
Thoughts on the specs
If you watched the Storz and Bickel keynote on the Venty, you may have caught on to some things. Here’s what impressed us:
- The name Venty comes from three things – the air flow dial (like a vent), the 20 second heat up time, and the 20 liters per minute air flow.
- 20 seconds is a fast heat up time for a Storz and Bickel vape. It’s about as fast as any session vape I have, and might even work well for on-demand use where you take a hit and turn it off to come back to the same bowl later.
- 20 liters per minute (lpm) is a shit ton of air flow! For reference, most people hit a vape around 5-6 lpm. My relaxed style hits around 8 lpm, and my aggressive draws top out around 16 lpm. I can’t wait to see what 20 lpm feels like!
- It was barely mentioned, but Jurgen said the Venty dynamically heats the herbs dependent on your draw speed. This is huge! I should be ble to take my style of hit, pass it to a friend, and watch them get the same great hit with a different style. Amazing! Let’s hope this is how it turns out…

Planet of the Vapes
Planet of the Vapes sells a curated selection of respectable vaporizers and they take care of their customers. Buy with confidence!
Bottom of bowl looks interesting.
Looks like the bowl area is much easier to clean up. I hate that in the Mighty’s
Looks pretty spectacular. I look for vapes that Troy can’t overwhelm. That’s my gold standard for a heavy hitter. It looked to me like it met that standard when he set it to the highest airflow.
Hi, I was surprised to see the POTV advert yesterday for the Venty with a 20% discount, “COMING SOON”, it said. (Again, published yesterday, 10/27/2023)
Any idea how “soon” it will be until that offer from POTV is actually available, Jerry? You, see, I’d like to buy the Venty and Lobo together. Thanks!
I wouldn’t hold my breath. S&B might keep sales to themselves for a few months. That’s what they did with the Mighty+.
