Product intro and specs
STIIIZY has become a household name among cannabis enthusiasts within the last decade. Pronounced “steezy”, a skater portmanteau of the words “style and easy,” the three "I"s have become iconic in the cannabis world. Originally best known for their pods and disposables, they now offer a complete range of THC/CBD products, including pods, flower, and edibles.
Today, we are going to be testing out some of their most iconic vapes. This includes the BIIIG STIIIZY battery with some full-gram pods and a few of their half-gram disposables in a variety of strains. Let’s find out why STIIIZY has become one of the most sought-after brands to date.
Price: $35 (STIIIZY BIIIG battery at STIIIZY) - $12 (Original THC pods* at STIIIZY) - $15 (All-in-One disposables* at STIIIZY)

What is STIIIZY?
STIIIZY is, without a doubt, one of the leading cannabis brands today. Initially, STIIIZY was synonymous with their proprietary battery and THC pod combo. About a year in, the brand launched its LIIIL STIIIZY AIO disposables, featuring the same THC distillate found in their signature pods. It was originally non-rechargeable, but now includes a charging port.
Eventually, STIIIZY introduced even more variety to its product range. This included a full-gram version of their LIIIL STIIIZY vapes, which originally only came in half-gram varieties. They also offered live resin and solventless versions of their pods and disposables, which were eventually discontinued and now replaced by live resin liquid diamond pods and disposables.
Why is STIIIZY so popular?
STIIIZY was in the right place at the right time. They gained a lot of notoriety during a time when THC oil users were concerned about harmful additives being added to black market THC carts and vapes. STIIIZY was able to gain the trust of this market with a safer and cleaner alternative. STIIIZY has since expanded its range with drinks, edibles, pre-rolls, extracts, and THC flower. They now offer a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio in a few of their product lines, including pods and edibles.
STIIIZY is the epitome of California dispensary quality. That is, if you buy them at an actual dispensary and not from the black market, which will most likely be a cheap knockoff—but the irony of people buying a brand like STIIIZY on the black market is not lost on me.
BIIIG STIIIZY battery
The BIIIG STIIIZY is a beefed-up version of their original vape battery. It has a wide shape and a battery rated for 550 mAh, which is over double the capacity of the original. The device originally featured a micro-USB charging port but since 2023 has been upgraded to a USB-C port.
The BIIIG STIIIZY has a smooth matte metallic finish. It comes in a range of colors, including green, blue, gold, silver, red, and black. It utilizes a magnetic connection and is meant for use with STIIIZY’s range of proprietary pods. The device features an LED indicator shaped like their logo and has subtle branding on the bottom side. Next, let’s find out how to use the device.
The BIIIG STIIIZY is easy to use, just like most pod systems. It is draw-activated, so there are no buttons to worry about. Keep in mind that you will need a pod in order to use the device.
- Remove the rubber seal from the bottom of the pod
- Drop the pod into the BIIIG STIIIZY
- The LED indicator will blink when a pod is inserted
- Gently inhale from the mouthpiece of the pod
- Exhale and enjoy
How to charge the BIIIG STIIIZY
The BIIIG STIIIZY charges with the included USB cable, unlike the original STIIIZY battery which utilized a proprietary charging system. Whether you have the micro-USB version or the latest USB-C version, insert the cable into the charge port and connect it to your power source. The charge time can vary based on the power source, but it takes approximately 90 minutes. Unfortunately, the BIIIG STIIIZY does not support passthrough charging, unlike the LIIIL STIIIZY.
STIIIZY pods
STIIIZY pods come in half-gram and full-gram options. The pods utilize a ceramic heating system and are meant for use with a STIIIZY-compatible battery only. STIIIZY now offers Live Resin Liquid Diamond pods. STIIIZY offers literally dozens of strains split evenly between sativa, hybrid, and indica categories. There is also a starter pack option that includes the original STIIIZY battery paired with a STIIIZY pod. So you can get everything in one box to start vaping.
The pods contain THC distillate that averages around 90% potency. They contain natural terpenes derived from botanicals. The pods that I am testing for this review are Blue Dream (Sativa) OG Kush (Indica), and Apple Fritter (Hybrid), but I have tried many others over the years.
My method of choice for years has been a dry herb vape. Nothing does it quite like the original plant for me. But the STIIIZY vapes get me pretty close. The flavor is natural and weedy. The terp flavor is mild, and they actually taste similar to the actual strains–especially Blue Dream.
LIIIL STIIIZY disposables
The LIIIL STIIIZY is a disposable vape pen version of their original kit. It is an all-in-one device, so it houses a rechargeable battery and the same THC oil found in their pods. It resembles the original STIIIZY device in black, and it comes packaged in a box with a similar style as the pods. The device is draw activated and even has the STIIIZY logo LED serving as the LED indicator.
The original LIIIL STIIIZY was not rechargeable, but they eventually added a micro USB port and now a USB-C port. The LIIIL STIIIZY is the perfect option for getting a taste of the STIIIZY experience without having to commit to their proprietary system. From my experience, they hit very close to the STIIIZY pod system but with a slightly tighter draw, but it’s not very noticeable.
I tested the Skywalker OG (Indica) and the Sour Tangie (Sativa). They contain the same exact oil as the pods, so I knew what to expect. They deliver very good flavor and potent effects. They normally last me weeks or months, even though they’re half grams, due to their high potency.
How to use the LIIIL STIIIZY disposables
The LIIIL STIIIZY is even easier to use than the pod system. It contains everything you need to get started right away, and it is draw-activated. So all you have to do is start puffing on it. I recommend starting with a few small puffs to prime the coil and then taking a long, steady puff.
How to charge the LIIIL STIIIZY disposables
Charging the LIIIL STIIIZY is easy. Locate the USB port on the bottom of the device and insert the charging cable. It typically takes around 45-60 minutes to charge, based on my experience. It is capable of passthrough charging, so you can still take a puff while the device is charging.
STIIIZY FAQ
Is STIIIZY safe?
STIIIZY products are lab-tested for purity, potency, and to ensure they are free of harmful additives such as pesticides, solvents, and contaminants. Relatively speaking, authentic STIIIZY products are safer than oil carts you would obtain via the black market. To make sure that you have an authentic STIIIZY product, scratch and scan the code located on the top of the box. With any popular brand, there are always going to be clones so always check its authenticity.
How to unclog STIIIZY pods
Most cannabis oil tends to have a high viscosity. That means that, whether you are using a 510 cart or a pod system, clogging is still a possibility. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but most pods can be unclogged using a combination of these methods. When not in use, keep your pods upright to prevent future clogging. Here are the best tips for unclogging your pods.
- Warm up the pod: The colder your pod gets, the more likely it is to clog. To warm up the pod, remove it and place it in the palm of your hands. You can also place it next to a warm heat source, but avoid overheating your pod, or you can run the risk of it leaking.
- Blow into the pod: One way to unclog your STIIIZY pod is to remove it and gently blow into the air holes located on the bottom of the pod.
- Use a toothpick or paper clip: Sometimes, you can get a residue buildup if you haven’t used your pod for a while. Gently insert a toothpick or thin object like a paper clip into the mouthpiece to unclog. Be very careful not to push it in too hard or you can damage the coil inside the pod.
- Clean the mouthpiece: Residue can also build up around the mouthpiece, which can clog the pod. A good way to fix this is to use a cotton swab lightly dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Be very careful not to get any alcohol inside the airpath or it will no longer be safe to inhale.
- Give it a few taps: Remove the clogged pod and tap the mouthpiece on a hard surface a few times. This will help unclog the pod although it usually will still require at least one (or more) of the other methods listed above.
- The last resort: If there appears to be damage to the pod or signs of leaking, you might just have a defective pod. It’s not very common, but it is still possible. If you have tried all of the above methods and it is still clogged, reach out to STIIIZY customer support or your local dispensary where it was purchased to inquire about a replacement.
Why is my STIIIZY not hitting?
There are many reasons why your STIIIZY device is not hitting. The good news is that most of the time, it can be fixed. Here are some of the most common solutions.
- Battery not charged: If your STIIIZY is not charged, it will not hit properly, and if the battery is depleted, it won’t hit at all. Always make sure your STIIIZY device is charged.
- Bad connection: Sometimes, oil residue can build up inside the device itself, especially if you have experienced leaking. Insert a cotton swab lightly dipped in alcohol to clean the battery contacts so it can make a proper connection with your pods.
- Re-insert pod: If the pod isn’t securely inserted into the device, it will not hit properly. Simply remove the pod and reinsert it to solve this issue.
- Clogged pod: If the pod is clogged, your STIIIZY will not function. See the steps listed above in the previous section on how to unclog your STIIIZY pod.
- Weak puffs: STIIIZY devices are draw-activated. If you are not taking a strong enough puff it will not activate the puff sensor on the device. Try taking stronger puffs.
- Defective pod: If you have determined that your pod is not clogged, insert another pod into your device to find out whether it is defective or not. If so, you will need to replace it.
- Defective battery: If you’ve tried all of the steps listed above and nothing is working, you might have a defective battery. Contact STIIIZY customer support for assistance.

Verdict
My experience with STIIIZY has been smooth sailing. I never got any burnt hits or leaking—but it does happen, according to other users. I did experience a bit of clogging, but it was easy to fix with a couple of puffs. It happens whether you’re using a pod, a disposable, or a regular cart. The real difference is the way the STIIIZY system delivers, so I tend to prefer it over carts. I enjoy the consistency in quality, and I also like the wide availability of their products.
Sure, the oil in their original pods is just regular distillate, but it tastes clean. I look forward to trying their Live Resin Liquid Diamond Pods because I prefer cannabis derived terpenes over botanical-derived ones. I also wish they offered more CBD options—perhaps some straight CBD options in addition to 1:1 options. They’re not the cheapest option out there, but they’re worth it.
There is no big secret behind their success. They just put out consistent and effective products. Their pod system is an upgrade from your standard vape pens, and their disposables give you the same experience in a more convenient form. STIIIZY is out here killing the game. Recommended.
