Yup, it's the 14mm. It doesn't milk, strange... Cloud is pretty cool so I'm not sure what's up.
I lost mine immediately, but last I checked you get 3 of them in the maintenance kit

So in an effort to maintain my Crafty, I visited a local industrial supplier.
I have an extra cooling unit from my original Crafty that needed some restoration.
Soaked in hot alcohol. Do not boil alcohol anywhere near a heating element. Fill your sink up with hot water. Get a mason jar full of alcohol with your parts all sealed up..... Boil a pot of water completely separate. Pour that boiling water into the sink to get your jar pretty fucking hot. Completely safe.
Cuts through that gunk no problem. I only use an old toothbrush occasionally to scrub. If it's maintained routinely, no scrubbing necessary at all.
Storz and Bickel has been great to me, but god damnit this is America and there's a better way.
I'm not going to get financially gouged to purchase the wear and tear kit which contains maybe 4 screens tops.
That things' nothing more than a bunch of high temperature silicone o-rings and stainless steel screens.
Our local Industrial supplier sells both, they sell the screens die cut to whatever diameter you need.
The size of the Crafty screen is a 5/8" 304 stainless steel.
If you want to really maintain the Crafty unit, keep that fussy little o-ring fresh, keep your screens clean. Clean the cooling unit often, or in my case rotate them and maintain them. You paid the big bills for the unit, get the most your portable can offer every time. And yes, it's noticeably better when it's 100% clean.

That will replace your top screens, and finer bottom screens, as well as that shitty little o-ring that always fails. Oh well, 3.75 for a pack of 25.
Enjoy having a brand spanking new crafty every day motha fuckas. On the cheap.
I have tried both methods and warm or hot ISO works much quicker with less scrubbing in the small hard to get areas of the cooling unit. YMMV
Mine just breaks over time when opening my cu to clean. It's almost as if the cu mold is slightly off. I'm glad you mentioned it @Ricchini I thought it was just me or my cu that was having trouble
Left it in my friend's basement, then took a couple of long flights home. That's the only drawback, is you have to take it off to charge the crafty and at that point it's easy to misplace. I could call them etc., but as I said I'm not too concerned -- because I will be investing in a maintenance kit at some point.
Good thing my mighty is on its way back! my craftys housing JUST broke from normal use
Storz and Bickel...C'mon son!
Could it be oil leaking out of cooling piece that got hard, crispy and stuck and effectively broke off the plastic? I'm having some remors over how I treat my unit
That may be my problemJust a thought on this, is everyone that has trouble with this putting the o-ring on all the way down?
I'm on my first and it still looks good, if this is the one we are talking about
Yeah I just didn't that time. I would like to have another but it really makes no functional difference. For myself it was most useful for clearing out any spilled particles that may be lurking around the rim, before attaching the cooling unit. And there's a lot of ways I can do that, including putting my finger over the bowl and blowing on it.
