How Does the Heating and Temperature Control Work?
The Starry 4 heats dry herbs using conduction heating in the ceramic chamber. The temperature range is 100–240 °C. According to TopGreen Support, the device is sufficiently warm for initial use after about 20 seconds; the manufacturer specifies about 30 seconds for 240 °C. Therefore, the figure of 20 seconds is not a heating-time guarantee for every setting.
How Do I Charge the Battery Properly?
The single 18650 battery is replaceable; the manufacturer specifies 2550 mAh. It charges via USB-C using a suitable power supply rated at no more than 5 V/1 A. TopGreen advises against operating it while it is charging. Replacement batteries must be suitable for the device and undamaged. Transport them in a protective case, never loose together with keys or other metal objects.
The manufacturer's manual contains the charging requirements. The support FAQ states that subsequent full charges take approximately three hours with 5 V/1 A. The stated battery life of at least twelve sessions refers to sessions lasting four minutes at 240 °C; it is a manufacturer specification, not a measurement performed by VapoChecker or a general battery-life guarantee.
How Portable and Ergonomic Is the Design?
The manual specifies dimensions of 115.9 × 37.5 × 24 mm. The magnetic mouthpiece and ceramic chamber are part of the device; the slider can be used to adjust the airflow. The manufacturer does not specify a weight in the documents reviewed here. The approximately 137 g shown in the specifications section comes from third-party tests, not from a TopGreen data sheet.
What Accessories Are Compatible?
The manual's package contents section shows a dosing capsule, USB-C cable, brush, cleaning and packing tool, three cotton swabs, two O-rings, two screens, two silicone caps, and four alcohol wipes. Retailer packages may include additional parts.
TopGreen lists compatible glass adapters, a bubbler, a dosing capsule, and a concentrate pad or wax cup as additional accessories. Concentrates may only be used with the intended insert; according to the support information, oils and liquids are not permitted. To use a water pipe, the Starry 4 adapter and joint must fit each other.
Conclusion
The Starry 4 is an option if you are looking for session operation, a replaceable battery, and on-device controls. Its limitations include the continuously heated conduction chamber, the required cleaning, and operation while charging, which the manufacturer does not recommend. The twelve-month limited manufacturer's warranty does not cover every form of wear or every accessory.

Cleaning & Care
Switch the device off and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The manufacturer's manual, Chapter 11 instructs users to clean the mouthpiece cap with cotton swabs and a damp cloth. The removed filter may be soaked in isopropyl alcohol; this does not mean that the entire magnetic cap may be soaked.
Brush loose residue out of the ceramic chamber; if necessary, clean it carefully with a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Do not clean or immerse the entire device in water, and do not pour liquid into the chamber. The cleaned parts must be dry before the next use. The manual does not specify a fixed replacement interval of ten to fifteen sessions.
Starry 4 Compared with the V3 Pro
The Starry 4 is a session device with a conduction chamber. According to TopGreen, the V3 Pro uses convection and also offers an on-demand mode. Choose based on the operating mode and controls rather than a heating-time figure alone. Claims about more even extraction, stirring, or fundamentally better results would not be substantiated without comparable measurements.
Further information: XMAX V3 Pro price comparison. Accessories from different generations are not automatically interchangeable.
OLED and 1-Degree Temperature Control in Everyday Use
The OLED display shows the battery level, current temperature, target temperature, and session timer. The plus and minus buttons adjust the temperature on the device. Pressing the power button three times switches the device on or off. Holding the power button and plus button for two seconds selects between four, six, and ten minutes. Holding the plus and minus buttons together for two seconds rotates the display.
These controls are documented in the Starry 4 Support information. A higher target temperature changes the heating demand; it does not establish a precisely defined effect or make the heating time constant.

Comparison: Starry 4 vs. Air MAX
| Starry 4 | Air MAX | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Portable | Portable |
| Heating | Conduction | Hybrid |

Both models have a temperature display and replaceable batteries, but they differ in design and heating system. Use the current data in the comparison table and determine which control concept suits you. A single heating-time figure does not replace a comparison of load, target temperature, and battery.
Comparison: Starry 4 vs. M7
| Starry 4 | M7 | |

| Type | Portable | Butane |

| Temperature | 100°C - 240°C | N/A |

| Price from | 61.34€ · Code VAPOCHECKER5 · incl. shipping | 75.44€ · Code VAPOCHECKER5 · incl. shipping |
The Starry 4 controls the temperature electronically and runs on a battery. The mechanical M7 requires an external heat source and indicates that the target temperature has been reached through its cap. These are different control concepts. A general time-in-seconds figure for both would not provide a reliable comparison without identical measurement conditions.
