Ha, I like your thinking.
...But I think it refers to systems where the same plug which initially performs the function of providing power for the charging process then later performs the function of providing power to the unit itself, once the battery is fully charged.

The Crafty's high is unmatched IMHO. Just stratospheric and beautiful.I had to get a refund when mine Packed in after two weeks! But Just waiting for the inevitable mark 2.The Air is an extremely nice unit and will more than tide me over,but nothing Rips like the Craft. Come on S&B it's time to hold your hands up and give us the revision this wonderful Vape deserves. And we can all fly to the stars!

Promotional code? What's this promotional code you speak of?Anyone from the US considering the crafty, check the Planetvape thread for a huge discount. The Mighty is also under $400 with their discount code

OK disagree with me, I can't force you to be right

Look in the store's thread for their posting.
how? In new at this, don't know how to properly navigate from thread to thread.

1 USD has more value than 1 CAD at the moment. So if you buy the Crafty (or Mighty) from a Canadian retailer, yo will save at least $50 when compared to buying from a US one.

My Crafty smells like my old Amiga.
Just throwing that in.
Just throwing that in.
had to shovel lots of snow today. good thing i had my crafty
It was -40C this morning (-47C w/ wind chill) and I vaped outside when it had warmed up to about -31C (-37 to -40C w/ wind chill would be a guess) ... performed flawlessly and the heater kept up no problem.

this is me when Im out and about and not packing my crafty.
I'm just going to throw this out there ... I like my vapes clean ... and so I ordered a 2nd cooling unit with my Crafty when I ordered it (and I was one of the early adopters). I use my Crafty most days (it's my on-the-go vape during the day and my primary vape when travelling). Zero problems w/ overheating, clogging, draw resistance, etc. I switched to the finer screen before I even tried it as that seemed like a good idea right off the bat based on my experience with other vaporizers. I use a cooling unit for a couple days or so (maybe a max of a ~15 bowls) and then swap and disassemble and drop the other one in some ISO. They clean very quickly if cleaned often (let soak for 5 minutes with a couple shakes, then rinse in hot water and let air dry and re-assemble).
I fill my bowl up full when I use it and typically vape a bowl in ~5 minutes start to finish. I sometimes do two back to back and have not had any issues but usually just one and let cool down before a second.
Yea when you smoke it in th cold it's like it never ends because even when it does end your blowing out big clouds of hot air and it makes you think there's still more left.
When the battery is running low it really does suck you don't get nearly the same clouds. It needs at least 2 bars

My replacement Crafty, with a serial 7xxx, performs like an entirely new beast! It has come with new o-rings as has been mentioned earlier that seem more durable. It keeps the temperature better close to the set point even with hard draws. Not sure how this is done. With my old one I could easily drop the temp by 10-12C degrees during a draw. Now it can't drop more than 3-4C! This seems amazing to me! 
Tha battery also seems to last longer, now I can do 4-5 sessions on each charge, I'll keep checking... And no more over-heating so far, no more messages and bt disconnects! Very happy with this unit so far!
And it does get me higher than any other vape I 've tried!!!

I did, on occasion use the Crafty while plugged in. I did do a few back-to-back sessions. For example, if I had a previously loaded bowl that cashed out after a hit or two I’d load another one and continue on. However, I never really loaded a fresh bowl, finished it, then loaded another one and finished that one as well, all in one session.
And thank you. I’ve been reading posts here for a few months. I actually, found the site a few days before the Crafty was announced. This thread was one of the major reasons I went ahead and ordered it. =)
Just to update my issue.
S&B customer service was excellent. I sent them the dead unit. A week later I had a new one in my hands.
My take on the Crafty so far,
I really like the Crafty. It works as an absolutely ideal sneak-a-toke. No lighter required, no smoke, and the smell dissipates quickly. It fits perfectly in my palm, and can be operated with one hand. It also has the ability to produce vape that is tasty and thick. While maintaining incredibly even consumption of the material without the need to stir.
These facts make it easy for me to over look the Crafty’s deficiencies in other areas such as battery life and maintenance. So, as long as I don’t end up being forced to send the Crafty back every few months for a replacement, I’ll continue to be a happy camper.

Yeah I gotta say, those standard screens for the cooling unit need to be abandoned and cooling units should ship with the fine screen stock. It just makes no sense to ship a cooling unit screen which allows ABV through it when you inhale!
just received mine and in the app it says firmware version 2.04. Does anybody have a newer version than this?
I got the unit from an online retailer and from the serial number it looks to be a very early batch (sub 500), so presumably has none of the improvements applied. Fingers crossed and if only this thing can run to the 1000 hour mark it would have made its value worth. It's obvious a lot of thought has been given to the air path and how the whole cooling unit can come off for an iso bath....just perfect for travel with no trace of gunk to explain even if inspected. It does look a bit like a grenade tho especially with the LEDs.
BTW the standard sized 12.5mm screen works perfect as replacements for both of the stock screens. Immediately popped a finer screen to the CU as I unboxed

Who's smoking here? I know Jcat isn't.
OMG .. Cleaning the cooling unit is SO easy ..when I hear ppl say they go months without doing so it completely befuddles me.
I Def notice a difference in clouds between a clean crafty and a gunned up one.. I also use the original screen (the big one) because the airflow is better (and its ridiculously easy to clean crafty anyways.
Simply take cooling unit apart . Let sit in iso for 20-30 mins or so.. then rinse with hot water (if its really dirty you may need to let soak longer and / or take a old toothbrush to it).
This method will give you a factory clean cooling unit. Not a spot of gunk anywhere!..
Keep your craftys clean ppl. Its easy and it tastes better..

I love the way you get a little push notification on your tablet screen when the unit is up to temperature. If you start playing a game, reading a thread, or whatever, you can't forget about the vape. Just amazingly effective design.

Crafty is a life changer as an in-car Vape. So easy to use, and so effective, and perfectly stealthy. This thing just keeps getting better!
Yup yup yup yup yup! That's why I got it mainly for in the car on the go instead of always rolling joints this thing is amazing at that! For a vape there is no comparison as far as effect goes. I'm still waiting for a portable that's this strong! No competition right now! No wonder their so cocky and simply ignore some people.
Out of curiousity did you call them first? Or did you just send it in ? I wanna know the best way to go about sending it in for repair if God forbid I ever have to cross that road. I don't want to be stuck calling them. What's the best way guys?
