Quick take

The VEAZY is one of those products where expectations are the whole game. At first glance it looks like a slimmed-down VENTY — and in a few ways it feels inspired by it — but it is not a “small VENTY.” If you’re expecting the VENTY’s wide-open airflow and top-shelf power in a smaller body, you’re going to be disappointed.

If you’re expecting a more carry-friendly, simplified Storz & Bickel experience — consistent results, great usability, and solid vapour quality with less fuss — then the VEAZY makes a lot of sense. It’s not trying to replace the VENTY; it’s trying to be the easiest on-ramp into the S&B world.

Design, size, and build

In the hand, the VEAZY feels tall and slim — almost like a little handle. It’s the kind of shape that disappears into a pocket more easily than chunkier portables. Compared to a VENTY it’s clearly more “grab-and-go,” and it’s the kind of device you can toss in a bag without thinking about it.

The body is plastic, but it’s not the flimsy “toy plastic” you’d expect from a budget device. Storz & Bickel leans into high-temp, durable materials here — and in daily use, that matters because it helps the unit stay comfortable to hold. A metal shell can feel premium, but it can also get annoyingly hot if the design isn’t perfect. The VEAZY avoids that problem.

It also comes in four colours (black, blue, orange, pink). Most people will probably buy black, but it’s still nice to have options that don’t look like every other portable on earth.

Battery life and charging

Battery life is good, not legendary. Most people land around 7–8 sessions per charge depending on temperature, session length, and how aggressively they run Boost/Superboost. In more standardized testing, it usually works out to roughly 40-ish minutes of runtime, which is right where you’d expect a smaller portable to sit.

Charging is USB-C and the port is on the side, so you can charge it while it stands upright — a small design choice, but genuinely one of those “why doesn’t everyone do this?” wins. Charge time is typically around 90 minutes from empty to full with a strong charger, and it doesn’t behave like a true fast-charge device.

How to use the VEAZY (simple mode)

The VEAZY’s biggest selling point is that it’s dead simple. There’s one button and an LED. Turn it on, wait for the ready signal, and inhale. No technique required.

Out of the box, the VEAZY runs a familiar three-step session:

• Base: 356°F (180°C)
• Boost: 383°F (195°C)
• Superboost: 410°F (210°C)

The exact click pattern you’ll see referenced most often is: double-click to go up to Boost, and then another multi-click to reach Superboost. (Your on-screen LED patterns and feedback will confirm where you’re at.)

Heat-up time is solid: typically around 35–60 seconds depending on the temperature you’re pushing and how full the battery is.

One personal gripe: the VEAZY can vibrate when it drops below temp and again when it returns to temp. It comes back to temperature quickly, so that extra buzzing can feel unnecessary — but the good news is you can disable it in the Web App.

The S&B Web App (where the VEAZY gets “smart”)

You do not need the app to use the device — at all. The VEAZY works fine in stock, on-board mode. But the Web App is where you unlock the full experience and fix most “out of the box” complaints.

The VEAZY uses Storz & Bickel’s Web App at app.storz-bickel.com. It’s browser-based (not a traditional App Store app), and the key detail is Web Bluetooth support:

• iPhone/iPad: typically requires a Web Bluetooth browser (Bluefy is the common pick)
• Windows: Chrome or Edge with Bluetooth enabled
• Android: Chrome with Bluetooth enabled

Once connected, you can:

• Set a precise base temperature (instead of being stuck at 356°F)
• Customize Boost and Superboost levels
• Turn vibration on/off (including those temp-drop buzzes)
• Adjust LED brightness
• Enable “Permanent Boost” so it doesn’t drop back down automatically
• Tweak charge optimization settings
• Factory reset and general device preferences

This is the part many people miss: the VEAZY can feel a bit “soft” out of the box because the default base temperature is low. A quick temperature tweak in the Web App often brings it much closer to what people expect from Storz & Bickel.

Vapour quality (what it’s like to actually use)

The VEAZY delivers a very “classic S&B” experience in the sense that it’s a strong balance of comfort, extraction, and repeatability. It’s the kind of device that gives reliable results session after session — and that’s why people keep coming back to Storz & Bickel in the first place.

At the stock base temperature (356°F), vapour is light and extremely comfortable — but for a lot of people it will be too light. If your first session feels soft, that’s normal. It’s not broken; the default temp is simply conservative.

Move into Boost and Superboost and it becomes much more satisfying: thicker output, stronger extraction, and the “full session” feeling most people are after.

Compared to the VENTY:

• It’s not as powerful
• Airflow is more restricted
• Vapour can feel a bit warmer

The simplest way to describe the draw is: it feels closer to a Mighty+ / Crafty+ level of restriction than the wide-open VENTY. If you’ve used the VENTY airflow dial, it can feel like the VENTY set around the low end rather than fully open.

Flavour notes (the most debated part)

This is where reviewers split, and where expectations can get a little “wine snob.” Some people say VEAZY flavour is slightly muted or slightly harsher compared to VENTY and Mighty+ at the same temperatures. One theory is that aspects of the heater design (including stainless steel mesh elements) can subtly affect flavour.

My take: side-by-side, sure — you might notice differences. But in normal use, most people are going to think it tastes great and move on with their day. If you’re extremely flavour-focused and you already own a VENTY, you’ll probably still prefer the VENTY. That’s not a knock on VEAZY; it’s just the reality of the lineup.

Chamber size, dosing capsules, and session style

The VEAZY uses the familiar Storz & Bickel chamber format and works with dosing capsules, which is a huge quality-of-life win: quicker loading, cleaner sessions, and less mess when you’re out of the house.

For most users, the VEAZY shines as a “low → medium → high” session device: start at base for flavour and comfort, then step up as you want more density and stronger extraction. It’s simple, repeatable, and very hard to mess up.

What the VEAZY does best

• Simplicity: one button, minimal learning curve, very shareable
• Portability: slim and lightweight, easy to pocket or toss in a bag
• Real S&B consistency: reliable extraction and comfort without “technique”
• Dosing capsule support: cleaner, faster daily use
• Web App control: deep customization if you want it, without forcing complexity

What needs improvement (and what to know before you buy)

• No screen: many people want a display for exact temps and session feedback
• Default temp is too low: can make the first impression underwhelming
• Expectation management: it looks VENTY-like, so people expect VENTY performance
• Battery is “average”: great for most, but heavy users may want VENTY or Mighty+

If Storz & Bickel shipped this with a slightly higher default base temp, fewer people would bounce off it after one “meh” session. The Web App fix is easy — but your first session matters.

VEAZY vs VENTY vs Mighty+ vs Crafty+ (real talk)

If you already own a VENTY and love it for airflow and power, the VEAZY will feel like a downgrade. It’s smaller and more portable, but it doesn’t bring a new “performance tier” — it’s a convenience tier.

If you’re comparing within the lineup:

• VEAZY vs VENTY: VEAZY is smaller and simpler; VENTY wins on airflow, power, and battery
• VEAZY vs Mighty+: VEAZY is more pocketable; Mighty+ feels more premium and can be a better “daily driver” for heavier use
• VEAZY vs Crafty+: VEAZY is a very compelling alternative if you want simple controls, good battery for size, and modern USB-C

The clean way to think about it: VEAZY is an entry point and travel-friendly option. If you want the best portable S&B can do, you’re still looking at VENTY.

Who the VEAZY is for

The VEAZY makes the most sense for:

• first-time buyers who want something simple and reliable
• people who want a pocket-friendly daily carry
• anyone who likes the S&B “signature feel” and wants an easier, simpler device
• users who love dosing capsules and clean sessions

It’s probably not for:

• VENTY owners who want the same airflow in a smaller body
• heavy all-day users who need big battery endurance
• people who demand a screen and full on-device temperature control

Verdict

The VEAZY is a smart move from Storz & Bickel. It’s still not “cheap,” but it’s the most accessible portable entry into the brand — and it keeps the core S&B strengths: consistency, comfort, and easy results.

Just go in with the right expectation: it’s not a mini VENTY — it’s a simpler, more portable S&B experience that becomes much better once you take five minutes to set your temps in the Web App.
