The Storz & Bickel Plenty looks like a power drill that wandered into a vaporizer shop. Behind that industrial silhouette and exposed metal coil sits a hybrid heating system that produces vapor rivaling the Volcano Hybrid at a fraction of the cost.
Released in 2011, the Plenty is the most affordable vaporizer in the Storz & Bickel lineup. It heats a 0.5 g oven, passes vapor through a stainless steel cooling unit, and delivers some of the densest, coolest desktop draws we've tested in this price bracket.
The trade-offs are real: a 240-second heat-up, analog-only controls, and an oven that demands a full pack for best results. For heavy cannabis users who want Storz & Bickel engineering without Volcano pricing, the Plenty still earns its place as of May 2026.
What's in the box
The Plenty ships with everything needed to start: the vaporizer body, filling chamber, cooling coil with mouthpiece, long and short tubing sections, 3 replacement screens, a liquid pad, a plastic herb grinder, a cleaning brush, and an instruction manual with quick start card.
The liquid pad pulls double duty. It works with concentrates, but its real value is acting as a spacer inside the chamber when you load less than 0.5 g. The optional dosing capsule adapter and chamber reducer (sold separately) are worth considering for regular solo use, dropping the per-session load to roughly 0.15-0.2 g.
635 g of plastic and metal that feels built to outlast its warranty
The Plenty measures 152 × 226 × 50 mm and weighs 635 g without the cord. The body is high-quality plastic, the heating element is all metal, and the cooling coil is stainless steel with food-grade silicone connectors. Storz & Bickel backs it with a 3-year warranty (2 years standard, plus 1 year with registration).
The biggest design frustration: the Plenty cannot stand upright. The curved base forces it onto its side, which feels wrong for a plug-in vape that lives on your coffee table. Storz & Bickel's official fix is to insert the cleaning brush handle into a screw hole as a makeshift kickstand. It works, but after 15 years in production, a real stand should exist.
The cooling coil deserves separate attention. It's a ridged stainless steel tube that absorbs heat as vapor travels upward. Near the base, it gets hot enough to surprise you mid-session. Near the mouthpiece, there's almost no warmth. It cools vapor beautifully, but residue builds in those ridges over time, making it the most difficult part to clean.
