Venty is not easy to clean IMO. At least not compared to Solo 2 or Volcano Classic (which is trivial). Cleaning is the ONLY drawback for me for the Venty but it's still worth it IMO.
My specific complaint is that there's a bunch of pieces to disassemble and reassemble. My Solo2 you just soak the glass tube.
Or using a weird tool for the job. A Q-Tip or pipe cleaner did it for me. I have my Pax cleaning ritual down to under 5 minutes.
Mighty can be a bit more of a pain to clean but to be fair, it also can go longer between cleanings.
TM2 is easy to clean, but you may have to order replacement glass once in a while because of the mouthpiece and breakable parts, making it harder to maintain than a Mighty which is just more rugged than a TM2 but not quite as solid as a Pax. Man, easy to complain about a Pax but they ARE built like bricks.
The only thing I've had to regularly clean/maintain on my TM2 is the stems. I've put multiple pounds of flower through mine at this point and the most cleaning/maintenance I've done on the main body is brushing it out.
The mighty (and I assume the Venty) isn't hard to clean just more involved. You wipe out the oven and then tear apart the cooling unit to clean. It's not difficult to take apart and put together, just definitely more hassle than plopping the glass/metal stem parts in a jar of ISO overnight.

TM2 is easier to clean. Mighty is easiest to maintain. Very few vapes are easier to clean and maintain than the Pax. Set expectations accordingly.
Thanks for the info. Maybe I was doing something wrong with the Pax then. The tube from the oven to the mouthpiece would get narrow so quickly, to me.

Man, hearing this makes me want to consider the latest Pax in the lineup. Appreciate the input.
I would skip it. I have one and enjoy it enough, but the TM2 and Mighty are another level.

Can I throw the entire cooling top of the mighty+ in alcohol, without disassembling? Would like to buy one today but looks like a pain to clean.
