30-Second Verdict
This one is a genuine draw on score — both devices sit at 9.0 — which means the decision isn't about which is better. It's about which one suits your temperament. The TinyMight 2 is the sharpest edge in the portable world and it will cut you while you learn it. The Venty forgives everything and asks nothing except that you charge it.
TinyMight 2: 9.0/10 | £299.99 Venty: 9.0/10 | £304.99
Buy the TinyMight 2 if: - You want the best single draw of flavour any portable can produce, and you'll practise for it - On-demand matters — microdosing, one-hit top-ups, three seconds from pocket to vapour - You want swappable 18650s and a device you can keep alive with £5 cells - You already own a reliable backup vape
Buy the Venty if: - You want elite session vapour with zero technique required - Battery life matters — 10–14 bowls per charge is nearly triple the TinyMight's - You want S&B's warranty infrastructure behind a £300 purchase - The idea of "learning" a vaporiser makes you tired

The Hook
There's a bloke on YouTube who sharpens knives for a living, and he'll tell you the same thing every professional chef tells you: the two best knives in the world are made of completely different steel, and they're both right.
The first is a hand-forged Japanese gyuto in carbon steel. Some smith in Sakai folded it, hammered it, ground the edge to something a stainless blade physically can't hold. It takes tomatoes apart like they've agreed to it. It is also, frankly, a diva. Leave it wet on the draining board overnight and it rusts. Twist it against a bone and it chips. It wants stropping, oiling, a magnetic strip well away from the cutlery drawer. Own one and you become slightly obsessed, or you ruin it inside a month. There's no third option.
The second is a German stainless chef's knife — the Wüsthof your sensible mate owns. Slightly softer steel, slightly less scary edge, and it does not care what you do to it. Dishwasher (don't, but it'd survive), draining board, cutting through a chicken carcass because you couldn't find the shears. Twenty years later it's still there, still sharp enough, still working.
The TinyMight 2 is the carbon steel. The Venty is the German stainless. And the reason this comparison is hard is that both knives cost the same money and both score 9.0.
I called the TinyMight 2 a Ducati superbike in its review and the Venty a Range Rover Sport in its own — the vehicle metaphors still hold, but they don't help you choose between them, because both of those are fast. The knife frame does help. One of these devices holds an edge nothing else can match and demands maintenance, respect and technique in return. The other is engineered — properly, Germanically engineered — so that you cannot get it wrong.
Eight months of daily rotation with both. Here's how the steel actually compares.
We stock both at HerbVape.co.uk — details and pricing below.
Vapour Quality
Both reviews scored vapour quality 9.5/10, and I stand by both — but they're 9.5s for different reasons, and the Venty's own review already contains the honest ranking: the TinyMight 2 hits harder on individual draws, with raw single-hit convection intensity the Venty's hybrid heating can't match.
The TinyMight 2 is pure convection at 70 watts through a glass stem. Press, three seconds, and the vapour arrives fully-formed — dense, flavourful, no warm-up draw, no session ramp. A 0.15g bowl delivers what 0.25g does through conduction hardware. Its ceiling — the single best draw either device can produce — is the highest of the pair, and it's not close.
The Venty is the best session vapour Storz & Bickel have ever made: 20 litres per minute of adjustable airflow, draw-sensing tech that compensates when you pull harder, and vapour cooling that keeps everything smooth at temperatures where the TinyMight is already getting roasty. Its floor — the worst draw you'll get on a random Tuesday, half-distracted — is far higher than the TinyMight's, because a lazy draw on the Venty is still a good draw. A lazy draw on the TinyMight 2 is char.
Ceiling: TinyMight 2. Floor: Venty. That sentence is the entire article, and it's the carbon-vs-stainless argument in one line. Winner on peak vapour: TinyMight 2, narrowly and honestly.
The Strain Test, Side by Side
Same jars, same grinder, same two strains — that's the point of the control. Both devices have already run the circuit in their own reviews, so here's what happens when you put the results next to each other.
Jack Herer is where the two philosophies split cleanly. At low temp, the TinyMight 2 produced what I called the best Jack Herer on the site — pine needles and fresh resin, then lemon peel sharp enough to make you check the jar, all on the first draw, because nothing has been sitting on a hot wall waiting for you. But it's a short reign: eight draws total, and by the third draw of the mid stage the citrus is gone. The Venty plays the same strain completely differently — at 175°C the citrus lift stayed legible across all five draws, and even at 190°C a tart haze echo hung on through draw four. The TinyMight gives you Jack's top notes as a ninety-second firework; the Venty gives you them as a slow candle that burns for thirteen draws. The Venty's cost is body — wide-open airflow means a lot of air per unit of vapour, and its Jack is bright but slight, where the TinyMight's arrives with weight behind it. Fireworks or candlelight. Pick your evening.
Wedding Cake narrows the gap, because this strain flatters everything. Both devices passed the resolution test — vanilla, butter, dough and pepper arriving as separate, nameable things rather than one undifferentiated sweet. The difference is in the adjectives. The TinyMight 2 wins on separation: vanilla, then dough, then the cherry edge, in order, on a single low-temp draw — surgical stuff. The Venty, with the airflow dial half-closed, wins on upholstery: the thickest, plushest dessert-strain body I've had from a portable, a Mighty+ that went to the gym. And both passed the final exam — at the top stage, on both devices, the two strains still read as two different plants.
One comparative observation that follows from both reviews: the Venty has a control the TinyMight simply doesn't — that airflow dial rescued its Wedding Cake from dilution mid-test, whereas the TinyMight's only adjustment is you. Your draw speed, your button release, your discipline. The stainless knife has a bolster and a full tang; the carbon blade has an edge and your fingers.
The flavour-device call: the TinyMight 2 is a flavour device outright — the benchmark, in fact. The Venty is the rare session device that gets most of the way there while staying smooth enough to hand to anyone. If resolution is your religion, carbon steel. If you want richness without risk, stainless.
Design & Build
Both scored 9/10, via opposite routes.
The TinyMight 2 is artisan Finland: American walnut with real grain, stainless accents, quartz glass stems, a genuinely clever built-in stir tool, each unit slightly different because humans made it. It's beautiful the way hand-forged things are beautiful — and fragile the same way. The glass stems are consumables; Jake's cracked one just fumbling it against a coffee table (the glass stem incident of 2024, covered in the TinyMight review, and no, that arrangement hasn't resumed).
The Venty is medical-grade PEEK plastic — less romantic, considerably more indestructible. It's got IP X4 water resistance, it stands upright on its base, and it famously survived Kevin the cat swatting it off the coffee table onto tiles — fifteen pounds of chaos, zero cracks, full story in the Venty review. Neither of my units has missed a beat in eight months, but both platforms carry history: the TinyMight's early button-solder reputation, the Venty's 2023-era E04 and USB-port gremlins. Both are resolved on current stock; both reward buying from an authorised dealer and registering immediately.
Winner: draw. Walnut you must care for versus plastic you can't kill. That's not a quality gap, it's a philosophy gap.
Battery & Charging
Winner: Venty — but with an asterisk the size of an 18650.
The raw numbers aren't close. The Venty's twin-cell 130W system does 10–14 bowls per charge (my spreadsheet says 10–12 by month eight, which is acceptable degradation); the TinyMight 2 does 5–8 from its single cell. The Venty also heats in 20 seconds off that battery, and the Supercharger gets you 80% in 40 minutes — though note that the Supercharger is a £25 accessory that's basically mandatory, and there's no pass-through, so a flat Venty is a dead Venty.
The TinyMight's asterisk: the battery comes out. A spare 20A 18650 in your pocket doubles your runtime indefinitely, and when the chemistry degrades in two years you spend £5, not send the device away. The Venty's cells are sealed inside; the TinyMight's are a consumable you control. Big battery you can't touch, small battery you can swap forever. For a single day out, the Venty wins comfortably. For year five of ownership, I'd rather own the TinyMight's problem.
Ease of Use
Winner: Venty, and it's a landslide. The Venty scored 9/10; the TinyMight 2 scored 7.5, and both numbers are earned.
The Venty is turn on, pick a temp, wait 20 seconds, pull. Draw-sensing means even bad technique produces good vapour. The airflow dial is the only decision you'll ever make, and Superboost is a double-tap.
The TinyMight 2 is not difficult to use — it's difficult to use well, and it has no safety cutoff between the two. I ruined seven bowls in week one before the button-release timing became muscle memory; by week four the failure rate was zero, and it's stayed there. That's the carbon steel deal in full: the edge doesn't get less sharp while you learn, and the learning is done on your own flower. Could your mum use the Venty? Almost certainly. The TinyMight? The review said not without supervision, and eight months on I haven't changed my mind.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Winner: TinyMight 2, decisively. 9/10 versus 7/10.
Counterintuitive, this — the diva knife is the low-maintenance one at the sink. The TinyMight's glass stem takes 90% of the residue: pop it out, ISO soak, rinse, done, with a chamber that stays pristine because convection means nothing bakes onto hot walls. Ten minutes, mostly waiting.
The Venty is better than the Mighty+'s eight-O-ring cooling-unit surgery — the double-walled unit pulls apart in two halves — but it's still S&B maintenance: a proper teardown every 30–50 bowls, cotton buds, twenty minutes. The stainless knife survives neglect; it just quietly accumulates it.
Portability
Winner: TinyMight 2, on points. 8/10 versus 7/10.
The TinyMight is smaller (110mm with the 55mm stem, 207g) and its on-demand nature suits being out — one draw, cap the stem, walk on, no session cooking in your pocket. But it's glass and walnut, so it travels in a case or it doesn't travel.
The Venty is 157mm and 254g — jacket pocket at best, though the slim profile actually pockets better than the brick-shaped Mighty+. It's also the one you can drop, rain on, or leave in a bag without a second thought. Smaller-but-precious versus bigger-but-bombproof; I give it to the TinyMight because it's the one I actually take places, in its case, like the nice knife rolled in cloth.
Value for Money
Winner: TinyMight 2. 8.5/10 versus 7/10, with £5 between the price tags.
At £299.99 the TinyMight buys you the flavour benchmark, three years of warranty, and battery economics that never expire. Its efficiency is quietly financial too — 0.15g doing the work of 0.25g adds up over months of prescription flower.
At £304.99 the Venty buys you the best session hardware S&B make, then asks another £25 for the Supercharger you'll genuinely need. Its own review conceded the value question — the Mighty+ does 90% of it for £49 less — and that concession stands here. You're paying the establishment premium for the establishment guarantee, which is a rational purchase, just not a bargain.
Score Comparison
| Category | TinyMight 2 | Venty |
|---|---|---|
| Vapour Quality | 9.5/10 | 9.5/10 |
| Design & Build | 9/10 | 9/10 |
| Battery & Charging | 7.5/10 | 8/10 |
| Ease of Use | 7.5/10 | 9/10 |
| Cleaning & Maintenance | 9/10 | 7/10 |
| Portability | 8/10 | 7/10 |
| Value for Money | 8.5/10 | 7/10 |
| Overall | 9.0/10 | 9.0/10 |
Two 9.0s, and the category rows explain why the tie is real: everywhere the Venty wins, the TinyMight loses for a reason a committed owner accepts on day one, and vice versa.
Who Should Buy Which
Buy the TinyMight 2 if you're the person who owns one good knife and strops it. You like technique. You want the best draw available from a portable, you'll microdose with three-second on-demand hits, and the idea of a device you maintain and keep alive with £5 cells appeals rather than exhausts. You should also, honestly, already own a backup — that advice appears in both reviews and it applies double to any boutique purchase.
Buy the Venty if you want the ceiling of session vaping with the floor of an appliance. Heavy users who need 10+ bowls without a charger. Medical users who need repeatability — the draw-sensing tech means your dose doesn't depend on your technique on a bad pain day, which is a genuinely clinical advantage. Anyone who read the phrase "seven ruined bowls in week one" and thought: absolutely not.
And if you're wondering about the third option — yes, the Solo 3 v2 undercuts both at £217.99 and outscores both at 9.2, and I've compared it against each of them separately. But it's a different steel again, and if you're reading this page you've probably already decided you want one of these two.
How I Actually Choose
Both live in my rotation and neither is going anywhere, which tells you something.
The TinyMight 2 gets five or six bowls a week: weekend flavour sessions when I want to actually taste a new prescription jar, and daytime microdosing — one low-temp on-demand draw, back to work. It's the special-occasion crockery, and I clean it on schedule because it's the only device I own where cleaning takes less time than deciding to.
The Venty gets several sessions a week, and — as I admitted in its review, to my own surprise — it's the S&B I reach for over the Mighty+ now. Weekday evenings, time to spare, airflow wide open, no thinking required. On mornings when I want reliable flavour without the tension of nailing the technique, the Venty comes out and the TinyMight stays home. That sentence has been true for eight months.
So the honest usage split: the TinyMight 2 is the device I admire most; the Venty is the device I forgive fastest. When Sarah found the pair of them sat together on the kitchen counter next to the actual knife block, she looked at them for a moment and said, "Neither of these chops anything, does it." No, love. But between them they've replaced the argument for owning anything else at this price. (What the pair of them cost, she has not asked, and I have not volunteered. Some edges you don't test.)
The Verdict (The Bookend)
Ask the knife-sharpening bloke which steel is better and he'll refuse to answer, because it's the wrong question. Carbon holds the finer edge. Stainless survives the real world. A working kitchen wants both; a normal kitchen picks based on the cook.
Same here. The TinyMight 2 is the sharper edge — the best single draw in portable vaping, on-demand in three seconds, yours for as long as you're willing to maintain it and respect it. The Venty is the stainless workhorse — 90% of that peak, ten times the forgiveness, S&B's warranty machine behind it.
If you cook every day and love the craft: carbon steel. TinyMight 2.
If you cook every day and love the food: stainless. Venty.
Both are 9.0s. Both are right. The only wrong answer is buying the diva and treating it like the workhorse — that's how bowls get combusted and stems get cracked. Know which cook you are before you spend the £300.
FAQ
TinyMight 2 vs Venty — which should I buy? Both score 9.0. Buy the TinyMight 2 (£299.99) for the best peak flavour, three-second on-demand and swappable batteries — if you'll learn the technique. Buy the Venty (£304.99) for elite session vapour with zero learning curve, nearly triple the battery life, and S&B warranty backing.
Which has better flavour? Peak flavour: TinyMight 2 — its pure convection single-draw intensity is the benchmark, and the Venty's own review concedes it. But the Venty holds Jack Herer's fragile top notes alive across more draws, so "best flavour" depends on whether you want one perfect draw or a long legible session.
Which battery setup is better long-term? The Venty lasts longer per charge (10–14 bowls vs 5–8) but the cells are sealed and there's no pass-through — flat means waiting, and the £25 Supercharger is basically mandatory. The TinyMight 2's removable 18650 means a pocket spare doubles runtime and a £5 cell resets the clock in year two. Day-to-day: Venty. Year five: TinyMight 2.
Which is easier to clean? The TinyMight 2, easily. Glass stem takes 90% of the residue — ISO soak, rinse, ten minutes. The Venty needs a proper cooling-unit teardown every 30–50 bowls. Better than a Mighty+, still S&B homework.
Can I use either with a bong or water piece? The TinyMight 2 works brilliantly through glass with a water pipe adapter, and its convection power suits it. The Venty is designed as a standalone session device — the cooling unit is doing the water piece's job dry.
Will the TinyMight 2 really combust my herb? While you're learning, probably — I ruined roughly one bowl in seven during week one, and none since week four. There's no cutoff saving you. If that risk profile sounds stressful rather than fun, that's your answer: buy the Venty.
Are the reliability horror stories still true? Both platforms had rough early batches — the TinyMight's button solder, the Venty's E04 codes and charging ports (Tom got the full bingo card on his; S&B and herbvape.co.uk sorted both claims inside a week, as covered in the Venty review). Current revisions of both have been solid. Authorised dealer, register immediately, keep a backup — same advice for any £300 device.
About Dennis M.
Dennis M. has been reviewing vaporisers and vaping daily for the best part of a decade. He works in IT, has ADHD, and uses cannabis for chronic pain management. He lives in Manchester with his partner Sarah, and between them they own one knife block, two of the three best portable vaporisers on this site, and no working consensus on which of those facts is the extravagant one.
For the record: Dennis owns one carbon steel knife, bought during the same fortnight as the TinyMight 2. Only one of them rusted. It wasn't the vape.
A note on spelling: 'vaporizer' is the de facto international spelling, but I've stuck with the British 'vaporiser' throughout this blog.

Affiliate links and discount codes exist because running a site costs money, not because they influence scores. This comparison reflects eight months of daily rotation with both devices.
Strains Used: Jack Herer — sativa (Haze × Northern Lights #5 × Shiva Skunk), ~20% THC, terpinolene/caryophyllene/pinene-dominant, pine-citrus-pepper profile with fragile top notes. Wedding Cake — indica-leaning hybrid (Triangle Kush × Animal Mints, via Triangle Mints #23), ~24% THC, caryophyllene/limonene/myrcene-dominant, vanilla-cream-dough dessert profile over peppery earth. Same two strains, same jars, across every vaporiser reviewed on this site — the strain is the control, the device is the variable. Strain effects vary by individual, batch and consumption method.
