Every Storz & Bickel portable uses hybrid heating (hot air plus a heated oven), so they all taste great. What changes is how fast they heat, how long the battery lasts, how big they are and how much you can adjust.
The short answer
- Want it simple and cheapest: VEAZY ($249).
- Want it small with app control: CRAFTY+ ($279).
- Want the longest battery: MIGHTY+ ($399).
- Want the fastest and the most adjustable: VENTY ($449).

MIGHTY+ vs CRAFTY+
Same heating, same flavor. The MIGHTY+ is bigger because it has two batteries, so it lasts about twice as long, has a display with buttons, and can run while plugged into a fast USB-C charger. The CRAFTY+ is smaller and lighter, sets temperatures through the S&B app, and can't be used while charging. If you vape mostly at home or share with friends, get the MIGHTY+. If it lives in your pocket, the CRAFTY+.
VENTY: the fast one
The VENTY heats in about 20 seconds and is the only S&B portable with adjustable airflow, so you can make the draw as loose or tight as you like. It's the most advanced and the most expensive.
VEAZY: the easy one
The VEAZY skips the app and the menus. Turn it on, wait less than a minute, hit. Same S&B build and flavor for the lowest price, and the one we'd hand someone new to vaporizers.
Which should you buy?
- First premium vaporizer, no fuss: VEAZY.
- Pocket carry and you like dialing in temps: CRAFTY+.
- Long sessions, sharing, home use: MIGHTY+.
- You want the best S&B portable and speed matters: VENTY.

Battery and charging in real life
The MIGHTY+ has two batteries, which is why it lasts about twice as long as the CRAFTY+, and Storz & Bickel says it can reach about 80% in roughly 40 minutes on a 15V/3A USB-C fast charger, while running if you need it. The CRAFTY+ uses one battery, typically takes around two hours to fill and can't be used while plugged in. If you vape for long stretches at home, that difference matters more than any spec.
Dosing capsules
The MIGHTY+ and CRAFTY+ work with Storz & Bickel's refillable dosing capsules: small metal cups you pre-fill at home and drop into the oven. They make dosing consistent and keep the oven cleaner. Handy if you like to prep a few sessions ahead.
Care and lifespan
- Brush the oven after each session.
- Clean the cooling unit and mouthpiece weekly with isopropyl alcohol, then let them dry fully.
- Replace screens and seals when the draw tightens; they're cheap and make a big difference.
Treated this way, a Storz & Bickel portable lasts for years. That's the real argument for paying more.
