Crafty Vaporizer Review
How It Works
The Crafty+ sticks with the same formula that its original brother used in terms of operation. Nothing has changed. You still have a single button that turns the device on and off and also adjusts the temperature.
However, the new craft has a few changes in its features that most vapers will find welcome. These start with the latest three temperature settings you can choose from. Two of the settings are programmable in the app, and the third one rises to the max temperature using a quick triple-press of the single button.
The chamber is capable of hold a good pile of medium to fine herbs. You can also use one of the crafty capsules instead. No matter what you choose to use, you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever.
Once the chamber or the capsules are loaded, you’ll just wait for the device to heat up then you can start vaping.
The Crafty+ has a low draw resistance so that the hits will be simpler without any difficulty. This feature is particularly important to vapers who like taking long rips.
Temperature Flexibility
The Crafty+ has three temperature settings you can choose from. There’s a smartphone app you can use to choose any temperature between 40 – 2100C.
Two of the settings can be programmed to any of the temperature settings you choose and stored on the device locally. This allows you to quickly select your preferred vaping settings without having to enter them each time you want to vape.
The third temperature setting is locked at maximum temperatures. The Crafty+ offers practical temperature flexibility because most vapers cycle between several temperature settings anyways. The third option allows you to quickly change to the maximum heat setting at the press of a button.
The temperature control and flexibility will satisfy most vapers. But it could have been deeper. If you find yourself struggling with the temperature settings, the Volcano Hybrid though not portable, offers outstanding temperature flexibility and unrivalled control, allowing you to tailor your vaping experience in various ways.
Vapour Quality
The Crafty+ is one of the best herb vaporizers in the market in terms of vapour quality. Although the Mighty is the long-reigning king for delivering consistent, robust and flavourful hits, the Crafty+ isn't far behind. Some even consider it to be a step above The Mighty.
The device has a new heating technology that is getting the job done. The hybrid conduction and convection heating is still there, and the heater seems to keep up with the heavy pulls and provide more power. The flavour production is not lost either, so you’re getting the best of both worlds.
If you're serious about performance, the Crafty+ is guaranteed to satisfy and delivers huge clouds that are potent and filled with flavour. It is second to none as far as vapour production is concerned.
Manufacturing Quality
For decades, Storz & Bickel have solidified their position as leaders in making legendary vaporizers that deliver remarkable experiences over a long time. The manufacturer has a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Germany that has brought to life other iconic vaporizers like the Volcano Classic, The Volcano Hybrid, the Mighty and the Vaporizer Plenty.
The Crafty+ isn’t different from those that have come before it in terms of manufacturing quality. It has the same medical certification as its brothers and a carefully thought-out ergonomic and visually appealing design.
The accessories that come with the kit feature the same manufacturing and design prowess and quality. These include the MicroUSB charger, spare )-rings, spare screens, a dosing capsule, 2 concentrate pads, safety instructions manual and quick start guide. You will also find a 3-years warranty inside the packaging.
Battery Life
Because the Crafty+ is designed to be a portable device, battery life is a critical aspect. The Crafty+’s battery life is almost double that of its predecessor and is good for 5-9 sessions per charge, depending on your usage habits. The charging time is roughly 1.5 hours which is 30 minutes less compared to the previous Crafty.
The Crafty+ is also smaller in size, making it more portable. The longer-lasting battery allows for more vapes on the road, and the one-button operation makes the device use no matter where you are.
The Crafty boasts tremendous power and performance. It’s a small device with enormous performance. The performance of the Crafty is in line with what you would expect from the German-based manufacturer Storz & Bickel.
The Crafty is more portable than its predecessor, The Mighty and spots a more compact frame. It’s a gentle and elegant device allowing vapers to enjoy a desktop vaporiser-like experience while on the road. You might have to be slightly patient with the heating time. But once the device is warmed, you’re assured of amazing draws packed with flavourful vapour. With the crafty, you’re assured of the same longevity that comes with other Storz & Bickel vaporisers.
Who is if for?
The Crafty takes the titles as one of the strongest hitting portables in the market. It's perfect for frequent and seasoned users who don't want to compromise on the quality of their vaping experience. It delivers connoisseur-level vapour and is also perfect for ambitious newbies that want to enjoy top quality vapour quickly.
Who is not for?
The Crafty might not fit well for vapers with a tight budget. It comes with a price tag that matches its performance. If you don't value premium vape products or a top-shelf experience or don't vape consistently, the Crafty would be an overkill for you, and you wouldn't appreciate what it is capable of delivering.
Cleaning and Maintenance
With the proper routine, cleaning the Crafty is easy. After each session, you should brush the chamber and the upper screen. The brush for this comes with the kit.
For deeper cleaning, the top part of the device comes apart into smaller pieces so you can easily clean the nooks and crannies. Although the Crafty is a sophisticated device, it is easy to clean and the cleaning saves for the chamber and the upper screen doesn't need to be done very often.
Smartphone App
S&B decided to make a complimentary app for the Crafty. It is compatible with Apple and Android phones, offering an entire range of customisation abilities.
The app connects to the Vape via Bluetooth. Once connected, you can use the app to control various things about the vape. You can modify the default temperature settings, the brightness of the LED lights on the front of the vape, and the app can also show the true temperature of the heating chamber in real time if you open the app while the vape is turned on.
