Venty: Storz & Bickel’s latest flagship device

Vapor quality compared
Both use Storz & Bickel’s hybrid heating. The vapor quality is on the same level — the Venty produces marginally denser clouds thanks to the improved heating, but the difference is barely noticeable in a blind test. Both devices share the same dosing-capsule system: accessories are compatible.
Battery and everyday usability
The Venty runs on two built-in lithium-ion batteries; Storz & Bickel states neither their capacity nor a session count. Fast charging gets it back up in under an hour. The Crafty+ manages 5-6 sessions — enough for an evening, not enough for a whole day. Pass-through charging is missing on both — neither Crafty+ nor Venty supports pass-through. Anyone who wants to vape while the device is charging needs the Mighty+.
Who should choose which device?
Crafty+: For users who want maximum compactness and a cheaper entry into Storz & Bickel. The Crafty+ fits in any pocket and delivers Mighty quality in the smallest format.
Venty: For users who want the best. 20s heat-up time, fast charging and Boost mode make the Venty the superior device — if the budget fits.
