Storz & Bickel Plenty

The PLENTY uses a patented hybrid heating system combining convection (hot air) and conduction (contact heat). The drawn-in air is heated at the heating element and flows through the material in the filling chamber, while the chamber walls simultaneously transfer heat to the material.

Temperature ranges:

• Step 1-2 (~130-150 degrees Celsius): Light, flavor-rich vapor. Good for beginners.
• Step 3-4 (~155-170 degrees Celsius): Moderate vapor production with solid flavor.
• Step 5 (~180 degrees Celsius): Standard setting. Balanced ratio of vapor and taste.
• Step 6-7 (~190-202 degrees Celsius): Dense, strong vapor. More extraction, fewer flavor nuances.

Heat-up time:

At step 5 (around 180 degrees Celsius) heating takes roughly 4.5 minutes. That is noticeably slower than the Volcano Hybrid (40 seconds), but it comes down to the deliberately simple, electromechanical design with no power electronics.

The automatic shut-off activates after reaching the target temperature. The device cycles the heater on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Between the filling chamber and the mouthpiece sits a stainless steel cooling spiral. The spiral cools the vapor on its way to the mouthpiece and delivers a smooth, comfortable draw.

Airflow:

The PLENTY allows airflow of up to 30 liters per minute, powered purely by lung draw. There is no pump -- vapor is drawn from the device solely by inhaling. Draw resistance is low, almost like breathing freely.

Tube pieces:

The package includes two tube pieces: one long, one short. Depending on preference, the longer piece offers more cooling distance, while the shorter one is more compact and direct.

Breathing technique:

Storz & Bickel recommends using only about half of your lung capacity. Inhale slowly and steadily, hold the vapor for a few seconds, then exhale slowly. Short, rushed draws are less effective and may cause coughing.

The filling chamber of the PLENTY is designed extra wide: with a volume of 3.4 cm3 and a capacity of about 600 mg, it offers significantly more space than the chambers of most portable vaporizers.

Material & construction:

The chamber is made of aluminum and shaped to create a large surface area. This ensures the plant material is evenly surrounded by hot air and heated through contact. Storz & Bickel describes the result as "strong draws and exceptional vapor production."

Filling chamber adapter:

For smaller amounts, a filling chamber adapter is available as a separate accessory. It reduces the usable volume and works well for single portions.

Dosing capsules:

The PLENTY is compatible with Storz & Bickel dosing capsules. These small aluminum capsules keep the chamber clean and allow quick material changes. The dosing capsules are stored and prepared in a separate capsule magazine.

Cleaning:

The filling chamber disassembles without tools. The screens (30 mm diameter) should be brushed with the included cleaning brush after each session. All removable parts can be soaked in isopropyl alcohol (max. 30 minutes) or cleaned in a dishwasher.

Using concentrates:

The PLENTY works with Liquid Pads from Storz & Bickel. Place the pad inside the filling chamber and spread the concentrate on top. This prevents the material from seeping through the screen and keeps the chamber clean.

Temperature step 5 to 6 (around 180-190 degrees Celsius) works well. Higher settings produce denser clouds, lower settings bring out more flavor. A set of 8 Liquid Pads costs about 10 euros from the S&B store.

Wear parts & replacement costs:

• Screens (30 mm) — Normal Screen Set for about 6 euros. Replace when airflow drops or screens are permanently discolored.
• Tube pieces — Replacement set around 10 euros. Swap when yellowed or the material feels brittle.
• Sealing rings — A few euros each. Change when vapor escapes around the filling chamber.
• Cooling spiral — Lasts a long time with regular cleaning. Only replace if physically damaged.

All replacement parts are available from the Storz & Bickel online store.

The PLENTY package contains the following items:

• 1x PLENTY (main unit with fixed power cable)
• 1x Vaporization unit
• 1x Tube piece, long
• 1x Tube piece, short
• 3x Normal screen (30 mm diameter)
• 1x Herb mill (59 mm diameter)
• 1x Cleaning brush
• 1x Instructions for use

Dosing capsules, filling chamber adapter, and replacement screens are available as optional accessories directly from Storz & Bickel.

Regular cleaning keeps the Plenty performing at its best and ensures pure flavor. Brush out the chamber after every session to remove loose residue. Clean the mouthpiece and vapor path weekly with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher).

Cleaning Schedule

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Never use water inside the chamber — only isopropyl or dry cleaning
• Do not use sharp metal tools in the vapor path
• Replace screens when draw resistance increases

Choosing the right temperature on the Plenty determines flavor, vapor density, and active compound profile. Lower temperatures (170–185 °C) emphasize terpenes and deliver mild, aromatic vapor. Higher temperatures (195–210 °C) produce thicker clouds and stronger effects.

Temperature Zones

Practical Tips

• Start at 180 °C and increase in 5-degree steps
• Finer grind often needs 5–10 °C lower temperature
• In cold environments, raise starting temp by 5 °C

The Plenty battery lasts several sessions with typical use. For maximum lifespan, keep the battery between 20% and 80% and avoid deep discharge. USB-C charging with a quality power adapter speeds up charging.

Battery Tips

• Do not leave on the charger permanently — unplug after 100%
• For replaceable batteries: use original or recommended cells
• Battery performance drops in cold — let it warm up before sessions
• Pass-through charging (if supported) allows use while charging
