Large grid Air Vents should have a small internal buffer.
Not Enough Votes
Giving air vents their own oxygen storage buffer would help immensely with airlock builds; a buffer of about 2-3 large blocks' worth of air ought to be plenty. This buffer should only be fillable by the air vent itself when set to depressurise, and would act as a fallback in case there isn't enough remaining tank capacity on the grid.
This would make super compact airlocks more practical, as they wouldn't have to vent oxygen into space in case storage is full, or have their own bulky oxygen tanks to act as buffers.
Small grid vents can probably be left out, as small grid components are... well... small, and super compact airlocks are already possible even with their own oxygen tanks.

Why not go all the way and also add cargo volume and bottle refilling to them? A single vent on Depressurize and an energy source could be made into a stand-alone bottle-refilling station without the bulky oxygen tank block that would otherwise be required to do so.
