Who is Storz & Bickel

The company’s name comes from the surnames of the founders, Markus Storz and Jürgen Bickel. Markus Storz began working on vaporizers in 1996, and the first Volcano hit the market in 2000. The company was founded in 2002 when Jürgen Bickel joined as a partner. Since April 1, 2026, the company has been led by David Männer, who took over this role from co-founder Jürgen Bickel.

The devices are handcrafted at the S&B Vapor Factory in Tuttlingen. Since 2009, the company has a quality management system certified according to ISO 13485, a standard for manufacturers of medical devices.

Brand Vaporizers

Among stationary devices, the manufacturer includes Volcano Classic, Volcano Hybrid, and Plenty. Portable ones are Mighty+, Crafty+, Venty, and the smallest in the offer, Veazy. The first battery-operated models, Mighty and Crafty, entered the market in 2014, Venty in 2023, and Veazy in 2025. The Volcano, from which the brand started, is still being developed, and the Hybrid version received a touchscreen and app control.

A common feature is heating without combustion and temperature regulation, with the manufacturer offering a range of 40-210 °C. For each device, the company provides spare parts and accessories, as consumables should be replaced from time to time.

Dosing Capsules and Magazine

A dosing capsule is a small container into which you pour ground herb before the session, and then insert it into the device’s chamber. After the session, you replace the capsule with another one instead of cleaning the chamber. The manufacturer designates the capsules for single use.

The magazine is a case for 8 capsules, sold together with a set of 8 capsules. Its central socket acts as a funnel for filling the empty capsule. The package of 40 capsules contains only the capsules, without the magazine.

The manufacturer places both products among the accessories for Mighty, Crafty, Venty, and Veazy. You can find the rest of the parts in the category Accessories and Parts for Vaporizers.

What to Choose to Start

If you are just starting with capsules, take the magazine with 8 capsules: it includes a case, funnel, and first portions. When the capsules run out, buy a supply of 40 pcs. The supply is also useful when you prepare portions in batches for several days.

Remove the capsule from the chamber only after the device has cooled down. The accessories are intended for devices for adults. We discuss caring for the equipment in the guide how and with what to clean the vaporizer.
