All three are made by Storz & Bickel, all three use the same hybrid conduction plus convection heating, and all three take the same dosing capsules. So the question is not "which is good." They are all genuinely excellent. The question is which set of trade-offs fits your life: pocket size, battery stamina, heat-up speed, or the newest tech. Let us break it down.
⚡ Quick verdict: the comparison table
Here is the at-a-glance version. Figures are approximate and drawn from Storz & Bickel specs plus reputable reviews. Real-world numbers shift with temperature and draw style.
| Feature | Mighty / Mighty+ | Crafty / Crafty+ | Venty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat-up time | About 60 sec (Mighty+) | About 60 to 75 sec | About 20 sec (fastest) |
| Battery life | Longest, roughly 6 to 10 sessions | Shortest, roughly 4 to 5 sessions | Strong, two cells, app ECO mode |
| Size & weight | Largest, about 230 g | Smallest, about 135 g | Mid-size, about 255 g |
| Airflow | Fixed | Fixed | Adjustable, up to 20 L/min |
| Temp control | On-device display | One button plus app | On-device display plus app |
| Charging | USB-C (Mighty+) | USB-C (Crafty+) | USB-C fast charge |
| Best for | Home base, all-day stamina | True pocket portability | Speed, airflow, newest features |
🃏 The three devices at a glance
Mighty / Mighty+
The reliable workhorse. A larger body buys you the longest battery life of the three and a clear on-device display for setting temperature without your phone. The Mighty+ refresh adds USB-C, a faster heat-up (around 60 seconds), and a ceramic-coated chamber.
Crafty+
The pocket pick. The smallest and lightest S&B portable at roughly 135 g, with a single-button design that keeps it dead simple. You set custom temperatures through the free app, then grab and go. Trade-off: the shortest battery of the trio.
Venty
The newest (2024) and fastest. Heats up in about 20 seconds, adds continuously adjustable airflow (a first for S&B), USB-C fast charging, an on-device display, and app control. The most feature-loaded of the three, at a mid-size footprint.
👖 Portability: pocket vs powerhouse
This is the clearest split in the lineup. The Crafty+ is the only one of the three that truly vanishes into a jeans pocket. At about 135 g and the smallest footprint, it is the obvious travel and stealth pick.
The Mighty+ is the biggest. It is still pocketable in a jacket, but in your hand it feels like a substantial tool, not a discreet gadget. That heft is the price you pay for its battery. The Venty sits in the middle on size, though it is not lightweight, landing around 255 g. You are carrying it for the airflow control and speed, not for stealth.
💨 Vapor quality & airflow
Here is the good news: all three deliver the dense, flavorful, efficient vapor that made Storz & Bickel famous. They share the same hybrid heating approach, so the baseline quality is excellent across the board. If you blind-tested the Mighty and the Crafty, most people could not reliably tell them apart on flavor alone.
The Venty changes one thing that genuinely matters: adjustable airflow. A wheel lets you move between low, medium, and high settings (up to about 20 liters per minute). Open it up for big, easy clouds with almost no draw resistance, or tighten it down for a more concentrated, restricted pull. The older Mighty and Crafty have a fixed airflow that many people love, but it is what it is. If tuning draw resistance appeals to you, the Venty is the only one that offers it.
🔋 Battery & charging
Battery is where the Mighty family earns its "workhorse" nickname. Its two cells give it the longest runtime of the three, comfortably into the range of roughly 6 to 10 sessions per charge depending on your temperature. If you hate babysitting a charger, this is your device.
The Crafty+, being the smallest, has the shortest battery, often in the ballpark of 4 to 5 sessions. For a pocket carry that is usually fine, and it tops up over USB-C. The Venty runs two cells and supports genuine USB-C fast charging: Storz & Bickel quotes roughly 80% in about 40 minutes with its supercharger. Its app also includes an ECO charging mode to help preserve long-term battery health.
| Battery factor | Mighty+ | Crafty+ | Venty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sessions per charge | Longest (about 6 to 10) | Shortest (about 4 to 5) | Strong, two cells |
| Charge port | USB-C | USB-C | USB-C fast charge |
| Fast charging | Standard | Standard | Yes, about 80% in 40 min |
| Battery saver | No dedicated mode | No dedicated mode | App ECO mode |
🛠️ Maintenance & ease of use
Cleaning and upkeep are nearly identical across all three, which is one of the quiet joys of staying inside the Storz & Bickel family. Same cooling-unit teardown, same brush-and-isopropyl routine, same general care. If you already own one, the others will feel familiar on day one.
Where they differ is controls. The Mighty+ and Venty have on-device displays, so you can set a precise temperature with the buttons and never touch your phone. The Crafty+ keeps it minimal: one button for on, off, and a preset, with full custom temperature control living in the free app. That is elegantly simple if you set a temperature and leave it, and slightly more fiddly if you like to nudge degrees mid-session.
- Easiest to read and adjust on the fly: Mighty+ and Venty, thanks to their displays.
- Easiest to just pick up and go: Crafty+, with its single button.
- Most settings to play with: Venty, with airflow, boosters, and app options.

Honest summary: there is no wrong answer here. The Mighty wins on battery and value, the Crafty wins on size, and the Venty wins on speed and airflow features. Match the winner to your priority and buy with confidence.
💊 Good news: one accessory fits all three
Here is the part that takes the pressure off the decision. The same dosing capsules fit the Mighty, the Crafty, and the Venty. They drop straight into the chamber on every one of these portables, no adapter needed. So whichever device you pick, you are buying into the same simple, batch-fillable workflow: pre-load your capsules, carry a few in the magazine, and swap them in seconds.
That also means capsules are a safe accessory to buy even before you have settled on a device, and they carry over if you ever upgrade from, say, a Crafty to a Venty later. One pack, all three vapes, no compatibility homework.
