Crafty+: The most compact Storz & Bickel experience
The Crafty+ is the smallest device from Storz & Bickel — 135 grams, trouser-pocket format, the same hybrid heating as the Mighty+. The app replaces the missing display and allows precise temperature control. Dosing capsules make filling and switching between sessions quick.
Core fact: Storz & Bickel Crafty+ uses hybrid heating from 179.00 € incl. shipping EUR. Storz & Bickel Venty uses hybrid heating from 295.00 € incl. shipping EUR across 175 shops (Vapochecker, 2026).
The battery (2800 mAh) lasts for 7-9 sessions — comparable to the Venty, but without fast charging it takes longer to recharge. Anyone travelling is nearby. 129 shops worldwide, proven technology, medically certified.
Disadvantages: 60-second heat-up time. No fast charging. No Boost mode. No app boost.

Venty: Storz & Bickel’s latest flagship device
The Venty is better than the Crafty+ in almost every category: 20 seconds instead of 60, fast charging via USB-C and a Boost mode that temporarily raises the temperature by 15°C. The housing is only 10 grams heavier.
The price is the only real drawback: the Venty costs significantly more than the Crafty+. Anyone willing to pay the extra cost gets the superior device in practically every respect.
Disadvantages: Significantly more expensive. 10g heavier. No display (app only).

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 with two built-in lithium-ion batteries (capacity not published) lasts a number of sessions not universally rated by the manufacturer and charges in under an hour thanks to fast charging. The Crafty+ with 2800 mAh 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.
