Any one can chime in with the comparisons between the Crafty and the Mighty performance-wise?

I dont mind the lower battery capacity only if the performance is unaffected between devices.. If Mighty outperforms the Crafty then it is the Mighty... But I'm hoping Crafty will be as good.....

After watching the threads since day 1, I decided to go with the crafty, or I should say, decided to get the crafty first. For my usage, the mighty was too big to be a replacement for my solo. Crafty seemed like the logical choice for me. The mighty I'll hold off on for as long as my VAS can remain sated. It arrives tomorrow :)

I see.. The size does not bother me either way.. Just looking for which one is going to give me the better performance....

Great Scott!
doesnt the manual say that vaping while charging is ok? i know what happened to yours, but if they say it should work then it should.

anyone else out there vape while charging?

It says its fine, and others do it fine. I never needed it, and just tried it out of curiosity. I've heard in general that its not good to charge and use high draw devices at the same time, but I don't know how true it is.

I know that since I never needed to use it that way, it'll be peace of mind to just use it and charge it in like 5 min after the bowl is done. I don't want this thing away from me anytime soon. After using this none of my other portables can get the job done TBH. This just hits me so hard every time. I just took 3 hits while walking 2 dogs, shut it off and I'm plenty medicated. I really can't medicate more quickly or easily.

I'm not saying its not safe to charge and use, but after being without the crafty for a while, just not worth it to me to risk it for no noticeable gain in my experience.

i totally understand your position and would probably do the same thing, but if they say it should work then it should. esp for the price.

i really wanna to fondle and use this vape to check it out.

I thought the dual cells of the Mighty might provide better temp control/stability while drawing, but they both seem about the same.
I had the Crafty out in low-50's F weather yesterday, and it took awhile to get to temp. I wonder if the Mighty may be a better choice in colder use cases.
They both seem to drain the active ingredients at the same highly-effective rate, for a given temp.

As always, YMMV. Cheers

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too

I have been charging and vaping for almost a week without issues.

Using a combination of motorola and samsung desktop and car chargers.

Kind of need to as I only get 4 sessions on battery.

I was also hesitating between the mighty and the crafty.
The crafty seems evolutive via the app (maybe it ll have 3 temps preset one day) and also i wanted a small, lite, efficient and solid device.
The fact the crafty is usb powered was a deal seller, no need to bring an heavy adapter while traveling, just the usual phone adapter.
Also i didn t want a screen or anything breakable on the portable.

I would definitly go with a crafty with 2 batteries but it doesn t exist, now I hope the battery life of the crafty ll be enough for me but i ll be able to plug it quite easily.

Another point is how hot ll be the mouthpiece after a few hits at 210°C.
It seems the mighy mouthpiece is getting as hot as the crafty one (starting hits 4-5).
For this reason i didn t choose to order a mighty cooling chamber to try with the crafty. I ll definitly try if it s too hot.

i once tried a pinacle pro 2 and it litterally burned my lips at its higher temp : 220°C or +

From what I have gathered the Mighty is different from the Crafty size wise, extra bells and whistles (read temperature control) and battery life. Vape performance should be equal.

Yeah everyone else has good luck, and this one would probably be fine. I mean worst case you warranty it and get a new one in a few days.

Need to return my unit, I just hope that the replacement works properly. Hopefully the return shipping and receiving the new unit doesn't take more than 2 weeks, but we will see. After this I hope I can recommend the S&B customer service, but I'll just have to wait and see.

Hello @h3rbalist - I notice that you had an Ascent. How does the Crafty compare with the Ascent?

The size is only an issue because every week I travel by car, I do vape and drive (no judgments) while with my wife traveling. We have no problems with the Solo, figuring the added size to the mighty would make the whole experience forgien to what we are use to. I usually only vape with two temps anyway. The mighty will be had after the holidays.... If I can make it

I've given up on UPS or FedEx delivering my packages before 7pm, I now have them hold at local facility. Only 2 miles away and I don't have to stare out my window calling the Ups man names.

What happened to it? I got mine replaced with 1 email. My old one is on the way back.

Still vaping while charging with no issues. When I do, I turn the cooling unit around so the grip is more natural with the wire. My wife asked me why I wasn't using my EVO any more . . . ;) With continued use I've easily become pretty adept at packing the bowl and getting a couple ginormous clouds.

I still have made no progress on cracking the password for the diagnostic panel. I was going to disassemble the apk files but its too much of a hassle.

That's also a dental instrument. Had teeth cleaned today with one.
Maybe I should ask he dentist for some tools to keep the Crafty clean lol
Here is a link for an inexpensive ($4) 4 piece set at PJ Tool . . . Link

Cleaning Crafty was a total breeze. The whole system makes total sense to me now. Its amazingly well thought out and executed. The cooling unit is where most of the buildup occurs but its simple to take apart and cleans quickly in ISO. Kinda reminds me of cleaning my CZ P-01 . . . ;)

Oh my! Crafty is closing in!!! It is crossing the borders today as UPS tracking informs me! It will supposedly take 7 days from Germany to Greece. My brother is expecting it on Friday for a test drive (before me!!! :p) and will ship it to me on Monday I guess... It's taking forever!!! :D
Why only US residents get next day delivery???

Well Hello there i stumbled uppon this forum a few Weeks ago since i was interested into getting the B&S
Crafty. I used the Magic Flight Launchbox quite some time now and was actually rly happy with it its easy stealthy and quick in heating up for usage. And just yesterday after reading allot about the Crafty again i decided to give it a try and ordered it with express shipment.

and today i got it !! (okay i do live in Germany only 200+ km away from the town where they produce it)
and after the first test i said to my self this mashine is so FUCKING AMAZING !!! i have to share it with you guys and just made a Forum Account to tell you how FUCKING AMAZING this piece of german engineering
actually is !!!

with the magic flight i always had the feel from time to time it wasn perfectly efficient since some Herbs did not look properly vaped in looks of color it was more burnt sometimes and not often the realy nice brown you want.

with the S&B i can tell from the first draw allready it produces a massive amount of Vapor. i would say it gives you from one complete draw the same ammount of vape you got from an entire filling in the magic flight. And you could clearly tell its so mutch more efficient !!!

the Buzz of the Herbs is way stronger and you get the desired effect rly nicely and thats actually the thing i was looking for getting the most out of a herb on the go without any combustion.

Stealthwhise i would say its obviously bigger than the launch box but only if you dont use the glass tube on the launch box. and since its black and you can turn of the blinking light via the rly well done app you are quite stealthy with not to big hands ;)

now for the build quality of the unit !! OMG you can instantly tell this thing is no cheap china shit like the rest of the Vapes out there ( i do need to mention i have an PAX aswell but the launchbox was outperforming it so i just lays in the closet now ) its build quality is by far superior to the PAX !!!!
and the downside of the PAX needing rly often cleanings if used daily was rly annoying !!

regarding Batterylife i cant tell mutch so far just taking the 2. Hit now.
but i will post about the usage today it will get some heavy testing by me and 2 other freinds aswell today so iam quite shure we will empty the battery!! ;)


Final Conclusion:
iam actually mad at my self that i wasted money on the PAX and Launchbox because B&S did not have an mobile option.

Just save the money and dont by the others okay its expensive yes but in my eyes worth every penny!!!

and i should not iam not an B&S Fanboy ;) but i just became one




Cheers Mesk0ne
