Which V Series set is right for me?

All four V Series sets share the same app, the same accuracy, and the same ecosystem — start with one and add more whenever you want. The difference is how you cook and how you want to monitor.

Quick answer

If you mostly…	Get the…	Why
Want the simplest way into V Series, or are adding a Stick to a setup you own	V Core Set	One Stick + stackable charger. Pairs straight to your phone over Bluetooth. The building block for going multi-Stick.
Grill, sear, roast, sous vide — everyday cooking	V Prime Set	One Stick reads meat and cook-environment temperature. Adds WiFi so you can step away. The all-rounder.
Cook two things at once and want temps without your phone	V Duo Set	Two Sticks + a base with an LCD screen. Great for multi-protein cooks and gifting.
Smoke low-and-slow, run a kamado or pellet grill, do long overnight cooks	V Forge Set	A separate Wired Ambient Probe reads pit temperature right at the grate — accurate where it matters most.

A little more detail

• V Core Set — the entry point and the expansion block. No WiFi, no smart base; your phone is the receiver, so keep it near the cooker. Add Core Sets anytime to run more Sticks on one app. → What's in the box

• V Prime Set — the hero for most cooks. The V Prime Stick has a built-in ambient sensor, so a single Stick covers both meat and cook environment. The Smart Base adds range and WiFi cloud monitoring. → What's in the box

• V Duo Set — two Sticks plus the only V Series base with an LCD screen, so you can read temps at a glance without your phone. → What's in the box

• V Forge Set — built for the long cooks. Instead of reading ambient on the Stick (where cold meat skews it), the Forge clips a Wired Ambient Probe at grate level for true pit temperature, plus a WiFi Hub for cloud monitoring. → The V Forge family

Still deciding between two?

The most common cross-shop is Prime vs Forge — see V Forge Set vs. V Prime Set for a head-to-head.

Whatever you start with, every V Series Stick and base works together on the same app. You can always add more Sticks later.
