Veazy vs Solo 3 V2 — the direct comparison
Storz & Bickel Veazy or Arizer Solo 3 V2 — which hybrid portable wins?
Two hybrid portables with completely different philosophies. The Veazy from Storz & Bickel focuses on compactness and simplicity. The Solo 3 V2 from Arizer, on the other hand, focuses on a glass vapor path, degree-precise temperature control, and an OLED display. We compare both without detours — manufacturer data against manufacturer data.

Heating method: Both hybrid, but different
Both devices use hybrid heating — a combination of conduction and convection. The Veazy heats the chamber and supplements with hot air when you draw. This works solidly, especially at medium temperatures.
With the Solo 3 V2, the material sits in a glass tube through which the hot air flows. The vapor only ever comes into contact with glass along its entire path. Many testers praise the pure flavor this delivers, especially at low temperatures.
Heat-up time: 40 vs. 5–15 seconds
The Solo 3 V2 wins clearly. Arizer states 5 to 15 seconds; Storz & Bickel quotes around 40 seconds for the Veazy. That makes the Solo 3 V2 at least two and a half times faster to be ready for use. In everyday use, this is noticeable: anyone who wants to quickly start a Session session will reach for the Solo 3 V2 more often. The wait time with the Veazy is no drama — but the Solo 3 V2 feels ready almost instantly.
Vapor quality: Glass vs. plastic
This is where the biggest difference lies. The Solo 3 V2 routes the vapor through borosilicate glass — a material that does not affect the flavor. You taste only the herb, nothing else.
With the Veazy, the vapor passes through heat-resistant plastic. The flavor is good — Storz & Bickel does not make poor devices. But anyone who has once inhaled through glass will notice the difference. The Solo 3 V2 has the edge here.
Battery: 2400 mAh vs. a significantly larger battery
The Veazy has a built-in battery with 2400 mAh. Arizer does not publish a capacity for the Solo 3 V2, but states up to three hours of use per charge. The Solo 3 V2 therefore lasts considerably longer per charge.
Neither device has a replaceable battery. The Solo 3 V2 still has one advantage: it can be used while connected to a USB-C cable. The Veazy cannot — if the battery is empty, you charge first.
Operation: Minimal vs. fully featured
The Veazy is deliberately kept simple: few buttons, fixed temperature levels, done. Those who want more use Storz & Bickel’s optional web app via Bluetooth — degree-precise adjustment directly on the device is not available. The concept suits beginners and people who just want to switch on and start vaporizing.
The Solo 3 V2 offers an OLED display with real-time temperature readout, degree-precise adjustment from 50–220 °C, and both Session and on-demand modes. There is no app, but none is needed either. This means considerably more control at the device — including for experienced users who like to experiment with different temperatures.
Portability: 134 vs. 280 grams
The Veazy, at 134 g, is one of the lightest hybrid vaporizers from Storz & Bickel. It fits in any trouser pocket and is barely noticeable. The Solo 3 V2 weighs 280 g — roughly twice as much and, with the protruding glass tube, definitely bulkier.
Anyone who is on the move a lot and needs maximum discretion should go with the Veazy. Anyone who vaporizes primarily at home or in fixed locations and only occasionally takes it out will not be bothered by the Solo 3 V2’s weight.
Water pipe compatibility
Both can be used with a water pipe, each with a suitable adapter. With the Solo 3 V2, the vapor path remains entirely glass throughout, which suits many bong users.
Who is each one suited to?
- Veazy — For anyone who wants compactness and simplicity. Ideal as a second device, for on the go, and for beginners who appreciate the Storz & Bickel name. Compatible with dosing capsules, solid vapor quality in a device that fits in any pocket.
- Solo 3 V2 — For anyone who wants to get the most out of a portable: glass vapor path, large battery, pass-through charging, OLED display, on-demand mode. Technically the more comprehensive device.

Conclusion
With the Solo 3 V2 you get more technically: faster heat-up, a significantly larger battery, pass-through charging, a glass vapor path, an OLED display, on-demand mode, and a lifetime warranty on the heating element. The Veazy counters with its lightweight design, dosing capsules, and the typical Storz & Bickel build quality. Anyone who does not specifically need the most compact device gets the more comprehensive package with the Solo 3 V2.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Veazy or the Solo 3 V2 better for beginners?
The Veazy is easier to use — few buttons, fixed temperature levels, no learning curve. But the Solo 3 V2, despite its OLED display and more options, is not a complicated device. Anyone investing long-term gets a larger battery and the lifetime warranty on the heating element with the Solo 3 V2.
Which has better vapor quality?
The Solo 3 V2. The glass vapor path delivers purer, more aromatic vapor than the plastic vapor path in the Veazy. Especially at low temperatures (170–185 °C), the difference is clearly noticeable.
Can both be used with a water pipe?
Yes, both with a suitable adapter. With the Solo 3 V2, the vapor path remains entirely glass throughout.
How long does the battery last on the Solo 3 V2 compared to the Veazy?
The Solo 3 V2 lasts considerably longer. Arizer does not state a capacity, only up to three hours of use per charge, while the Veazy has 2400 mAh. The battery is not replaceable on either device, but the Solo 3 V2 can be used while charging.
