“The VENTY is our fastest and most powerful portable vaporizer, featuring adjustable airflow up to 20 litres per minute and rapid heat-up in only 20 seconds.”

Editorial:

The Venty has honestly become one of my favourite vaporizers I’ve ever owned, and for me it’s the closest thing to carrying a portable Volcano Hybrid in my pocket.

I own and love the Volcano Hybrid, and I never expected a portable device to come this close to delivering that same kind of satisfying vapour quality and effortless airflow. The Venty somehow manages to give me that same smooth, open draw experience while being small enough to take almost anywhere.

What really makes it special for me is how versatile and durable it feels. This thing goes everywhere with me … camping trips, beach days, biking, hiking, sitting around a fire, or just relaxing on the couch watching a movie at home. No matter where I use it, it always delivers consistently great vapour.

The airflow is incredible. Most portables still feel restricted to me, but the Venty feels natural and effortless. At lower temps the flavour is amazing, and at higher temps it can absolutely rip while still staying surprisingly smooth thanks to the cooling unit.

I also love how fast and convenient it is. The quick heat-up time makes it easy to grab for a short session without feeling like a whole process, and the battery life has been more than solid for my everyday use.

Build quality is exactly what I’d expect from Storz & Bickel … premium, reliable, and built to last. It may not be the smallest portable on the market, but once you experience the vapour quality and airflow, the size becomes completely worth it.

For me, the Venty is more than just another gadget or vape purchase. It’s one of those devices that genuinely improves my quality of life and helps me relax whether I’m out exploring or just unwinding at home. It’s become my daily driver, and I honestly reach for it more than almost anything else in my collection.:victory_hand:

I love my Venty. It’s what I turn to when I want a slow bowl over 10 minutes or so - maybe on the sofa watching the TV.

If I was forced to only take one device out on the road with me - it would be the venty.

The thing about the venty is that you know what you’re going to get every single time - without fail. Nice fluffy vapour that tastes good and medicates exactly the same way every single time. (And how does it do that thing to the AVB?)

It’s built like a battleship. You can feel comfortable just chucking it into your rucksack or laptop bag knowing it will be just fine.

It is not a big hitter but it is the device that I would invite any friends wanting to try vaping to pick up first. Easy to use and screams “Medical Device” which is another reason I like it and would always take it anywhere that I felt was “canna-sceptic”.

I totally agree about the durability as I recently dropped mine on the paved road while crossing, and it bounced and took a nasty fall and slid down the pavement and when I picked it up, it was still working perfectly and barely had a mark on it.

I do find that it is a great sipping vape, but it also can be a big hitter as I will set it to max temp with the airflow wide-open and after two or three 10 second inhales, my bowl is completely done.

Fast to heat up, quickly medicated and I can quickly move on with my day.

Only got a Venty a few months ago (upgrading from a Rogue 2, although I owned a Mighty a decade ago before quitting for several years) and I absolutely love it. As a daily driver it’s perfect for my preferred style of session - around 10 minutes as with the previous poster, and I temp step with a couple of hits each at 180 and 195 before cranking it up and finishing with some clouds - and I love how the power of the heating element and the adjustable airflow combine to mean I really can just take whatever kind of hit I want to in that moment and adjust in real time if maybe a capsule was packed a little tight. The flavour and cooling is good enough with the base unit and mouthpiece that I rarely use any of the accessories I have too, although part of that is I love being lazy and leaning back generally.

I’ve kept the Rogue 2 for stealth when I’m out in the city (hopefully the Flaske can replace it for this and also be a big hitter for if I feel I need that), and when I move into a bigger place I’ll definitely look into a ball vape, but for any other situation - in the house, going to a friend’s place, in the park, etc - I don’t feel like I need anything else currently on the market.

I have had my Venty for about 6 months now and am super happy with it, no issues, easy cleaning regiment and the air flow wow. My only knock about it is the size, I am use to it now but would like to be more portable.

Wouldn’t it be great if they could make the Venty the same size as the Veazy?! I could even live without the digital display, and on board temperature control … as long as it had the exact same heater, vape signature and open airflow as the Venty.

Good point about it also being a heavy hitter. Its very versatile and can be used as a great heavy hitter - agreed.

I was gifted a Venty (Thanks POTV!), but if I had known how much better it was than the Mighty+ I would have bought it sooner. I have vapes that are rated as better by most reviewers, but this is what I pick up when it’s time to get stoned.

I do notice on mine the temperature seems off, and where most vapes I own stay around 390ºF, my Venty hits better around 370 or even lower. Not a big enough issue to send it in, I just set the temp lower. I have the same thing on the Solo 3, I don’t start at 390º on it either.

Good morning community I’m new to the Venty. I’ve had it for about a week now and loving it using it a couple times a day but I have a question. Is it normal for vapor to escape from mouthpiece in between hits? I thought it was mainly convection not so much conduction. Just curious if I’m doing anything wrong or if that’s normal for the device.

Yes, there is some vapor trapped in the cooling unit when you are finished hitting it that drifts out. I usually clear the cooling unit at the end of a session just maybe to help keeping unit clean a little longer. Just remove cooling and hit the unit clearing it of leftover vapor. The Venty is a hybrid vaporizer so it will hold heat in the bowl while powered on.

Venty is a hybrid device. I’m guessing looking at the roast a pretty even conduction / convection hybrid. The vapor you see though is most likely the vapor that was pulled into the stem or cooling unit and is floating out. I see it occasionally, but not all the time, on many of my devices.

Ok ya that makes sense some residual vapor in the CU. Thanks a lot @BigDavetokeit and @Charles. I’m loving my Venty it’s so nice and so smooth.

Just opened and charged my first ever Venty that I got from a late 420 sale!

Can I use this without the round bottom screen like I do with their other portables?

I guess I’m about to find out!!..

I was curious about the supercharger. Do I have to use the storz in bickel supercharger or can I just get a 45 watt charger from Amazon?

I use an Anker high powered charger, works great

@VaperMonkey420 It appears my walmart charging block does it but only on the 30 amp port.

My first S&B rapid charger died in a week. I finally ordered another, and it came DOA. I contacted POTV and they send a replacement a couple weeks ago and the dog ate it. I give up on them, the Walmart one was cheaper and at least so far the dog isn’t interested in it.

The Venty sure is fussy when it comes to chargers and I find it frustrating that it will not work with some (but not all) non S&B high speed chargers. Maybe your 30 amp thing explains it but I don’t understand why my vaporiser is more of a snowflake than my macbook when it comes to “charging sensitivity” - especially when the vaporiser itself looks like its been recycled out of tanks.

Might be a flaw. I’ve got 3 Venty’s cause they so good. One in California at my sisters, one here in Canada and one on loaner to my buddy. I haven’t had an issue ever with off market charging brands. However whenever I have had an issue. (Buttons wore out)

They sent me a new device. This happened twice. so give em a call. Hopefully they will be able to accommodate you.

I used an instant read thermometer and opened the Venty between hits to see what’s going on. This is at 410F and full open air, the only way I use it.

Basically when you turn it on it buzzes ready at 150F. The temperature goes up steadily til 250F or so and then slows down, but building till about 330F when it buzzes and auto shuts off.

Taking a normal, for me, hit the temperature goes down to 150-170. And repeats the process. Temperature starts to climb quickly then slows and buzzes and shuts off around 330F.

So I don’t know how people make up % numbers. I would call it a convection leading hybrid. But mainly because people associate convection with higher quality.
