The Norddampf Relict is a hybrid portable from a German brand that has built its reputation on flavor-focused design. Norddampf's approach to the Relict is deliberate: hybrid heating is used not to chase the fastest heat-up or the densest clouds, but to preserve as much of the herb's aromatic profile as possible throughout the session.
The 2600mAh battery handles multiple sessions comfortably. Heat-up takes about 30 seconds, which is reasonable for a hybrid. Maximum temperature tops out at 240°C — a sensible ceiling that keeps the convective component working properly without pushing into territory where the material starts to scorch rather than vaporize.
Passthrough charging makes the Relict easy to use at home over extended periods. Water pipe compatibility is a natural companion for this kind of flavor-oriented device: hybrid vapor through a bubbler is notably smooth and preserves the terpene character well. The experience is one that slow, appreciative users tend to enjoy most.
German engineering and a 2-year coverage period together signal that Norddampf isn't just putting out budget hardware. The Relict is pitched at the more thoughtful end of the market — not the user looking for the cheapest option, but the one who's considered their priorities and wants something built to last.
For a portable in this category, the Relict's combination of hybrid heating, a solid battery, WPA compatibility, and a quality-first German pedigree makes it a distinctive choice that stands out from more generic options.
Particularly practical: the Relict is compatible with Storz & Bickel dosing capsules. If you already own capsules for the Crafty+ or Mighty+, you can continue using them directly. It also offers USB-C charging with pass-through functionality and the option to connect the device to a water pipe using an adapter.
Norddampf relies on haptic feedback via vibration -- the device lets you know when the target temperature has been reached. You can find all current prices from 25 shops in our price comparison.

The Relict has a built-in 2600 mAh battery and charges directly via USB-C.
The Relict uses a hybrid heating system. The stainless steel chamber is heated from the outside (conduction), while hot air simultaneously flows through the material (convection). This combination ensures even extraction and good flavor throughout the entire session.
Stainless steel as a chamber material is flavor-neutral, durable and easy to clean. A cotton bud with a little isopropanol is enough to get the chamber spotless again after a few sessions.
The convective component becomes apparent in the draw behavior. Slow, steady draws produce the best vapor. At lower temperature levels, flavor takes the lead; at higher levels, vapor volume increases. Thanks to the compact chamber size, the material is used efficiently -- minimal waste, maximum yield.
Instead of stepless control, Norddampf uses five clearly defined temperature levels. This keeps operation simple: switch on, choose a level, vape.
Heat-up time is around 25-30 seconds. The device vibrates to indicate when the temperature has been reached. Many users start at level 2-3 and increase to 4-5 as the session progresses.
A genuine standout feature: the Relict accepts Storz & Bickel dosing capsules without any modification. The same capsules used in the Mighty, Crafty or Volcano Hybrid fit directly into the Relict's chamber.
Dosing capsules keep the chamber clean, make reloading easier on the go and allow several portions to be prepared in advance. Open the chamber, insert the capsule, close the chamber -- done. After the session, the used capsule goes into the capsule caddy and a fresh one goes in.
If you already own accessories from Storz & Bickel, you save yourself from buying new ones. The 40-pack of dosing capsules costs around 25-30 euros and lasts a very long time with normal use.
At 138 grams, the Relict is a lightweight portable vaporizer. Its understated body is available in black and silver.
Using an optional water pipe adapter (WPA), the Relict can be connected to any bong or bubbler with a 14-mm or 18-mm joint. The vapor is passed through the water, which cools and moisturises it. At the higher temperature levels (4-5), this makes a noticeable difference.
For cleaning, isopropanol (at least 90%), cotton buds and a small brush are recommended. The chamber should be cleaned every 5-10 sessions. When using dosing capsules, the chamber stays clean for significantly longer.
Same device type and a similar price; matching heating methods come first. Size and features may differ.
