After changing chargers/cables around a few times with only sporadic success, I got it to charge by putting a small blade-like probe into the crafty's usb port and moving up what seemed like a flat male connector or guide that goes inside the usb cable connector tip, it needed to be re-centered because it had moved out of the way and the cable tip was going around it completely. Hopefully that will work for a while anyways.Hey @grokit
No USB port upgrade from what I noticed.
I'm almost certain it hasn't been upgraded, I've seen 2.04, 2.05, 2.08.
Can you clarify what you mean by the port failing?
Not charging at all, intermittently charging or loose cable causing intermittent charge?
There was discussion about the port being loose and the USB cable feeling loose, but infact the pins that make the connection feel firm, are on the cable itself.
A swap out of the cable resolved that issue for people.
And in many other cases of outright failure, it turned out to be the USB cable or the AC wall adapter it came with.
Try another cable and another source (e.g. samsung wall adapter) so long as it does not exceed 2.1 amp @ 5v
Good luck!
To be without a crafty is an awful feeling

IMO NO...But seriously, if you gonna spend 200 on a used vaporizer with that many hours and barely any warranty left, you should just save an extra 100 and buy it brand new knowing that tomorrow you going to wake up and know for sure that is going to work and if it doesn't than you have till 2018 to get a brand new one. Only for 100 more think about it.Need advise guys....is a crafty bought in 2014 with 51 hrs a good buy for $200.....

I don't think it's common, but it has happened to others.... bummer dude, only 5 hours on it? Oh well, you're new one will have 0 hours on it! Definitely discouraging though.... what serial number?
So sorry, your Crafty is circling the drain and sounds like it may be time for a new battery. A swap-able battery would make this a different story, for sure.My Crafty update: Serial number 28..., firmware 2.08 , 180 hours on the clock. I get 2 sessions out of a battery load. Heat up time first session 2:28 , second session 4:00 minutes. Performance is still awesome.
After my awesome session with the plenty I would like to see a Pocket Plenty with exchangeable batteries. Maybe S&B are reading this...
Sounds like exactly what happened to mine. Was working fine, the button stopped having any tactile response, and when gently shook, I could hear a small piece of plastic loose.My Crafty's power button is not responding anymore. There is an audible sound coming from the vape if I shake it...like something came apart. It only has 5 hours on it and v2.10...is this a common issue?
Yes, I'm curent6using my Samsung S6 Edge Plus on firmware 5.1.1 lollipop and the app works flawlessly. Hope that helped #HappyVapingDoes the app work on android lollipop 5.1.1

Really cool. Hope to see an app for windows or Linux soon too. Neat stuff.
