I liked my Ghost when it worked. But, after dealing with the Haze Square, and then Ghost, I decided the next vape will be one that has proven it's longevity.
The one difference I notice right away is the wait time heating. Haze and Ghost were incredibly fast heat ups. And true convection. When they worked, it was great, but there was no consistency in performance.
I also am not crazy about the Crafty plus battery. If this is an improvement, then I'm glad I didn't have an original one. But, very very consistent performance, every single time.
In the end, I just want something that works, when I want it, consistently. Is that too much to ask?
So far, my Crafty+ works well.
Regarding the battery, that has been my experience as well. Love the hit efficiency, hate the battery and slow charging. If this battery issue is an upgrade from the Crafty, I am glad I never got the original. If this thing had changeable batteries so you could keep a set charged at all times it would be perfect. Instead it's a good vape that has a major flaw. I like S&B but I really hate the planned obsolescence built into their portables. It's kind of mercenary, considering it wouldn't be difficult to make the exact same vape with the ability to swap out batteries. They are seriously inconveniencing the user by doing this. Myself, I went to this from a Haze V3, which I really liked. Sadly, Haze went under. I do believe that the Crafty Plus is a bit more efficient of a hitter, although the Haze did quite well but the big plus on the Haze was the swappable batteries. S&B dropped the ball on that aspect, for no reason other than greed and while it's not a deal breaker, it is very disappointing.

I am aware of the 3rd party battery replacement, which is good for the continued use of the Crafty Plus but I would love to be able to swap batteries when the ones in there are out of juice so I don't have to wait 2-3 hours for a recharge. I simply do not understand why they could not do that. And while it may seem like I was ripping the Crafty plus a new one, the truth is I really like the vape. It delivers a great hit. I was simply outlining the one major deficiency it has. So I do recommend the Crafty Plus but people should be aware of its issues. If it had swappable batteries it would be perfect.
I've never had any issue that it is an internal battery ... there are reasons for this, and it definitely removes a massive variable from the equation; my real issue with this has always been their unwillingness to replace a battery for a reasonable service fee for an out-of-warranty Crafty. Just my 2 cents.I made a mistake above but I found the video where they ask Mr. Bickel why they didn't go for replaceable batteries it's at the 11:20 mark in this.
Sounds like by security, he might also mean certification, traceability and maybe safety, he says replaceable also made things bigger and more difficult, and there was less demand for it in Mighty with two batteries.
Maybe they want it just like a toothbrush, hair shaver or ipod nano setup!
Hope everyone is enjoying Crafty+ this weekend!
Check the settings in your app and make sure is isn’t checked to “Bluetooth always on”Well, I am none too happy with the Crafty plus. I had suspected that something was wrong as it seemed like I got way too few sessions out of a charge so I started using the app to track the charge after each session. I used it this morning and when i put it away, the app showed it at 60%. This afternoon, when I went to use it, it wouldn't start and the app showed that it needed a recharge. Clearly something is draining the batteries or the batteries are not holding a charge. It sucks when you buy something based on a company's rep for quality and you get bad unit for your efforts.
Arrrrgh! Thanks! That was the problem. I put it away last nite at 80% charge and this morning it still had the same charge. Why would they set the thing to auto battery drain is beyond me but once I shut that off, my Crafty Plus held its charge. They need a disclaimer in their manual for that.Check the settings in your app and make sure is isn’t checked to “Bluetooth always on”
That seems to me like a bug in the firmware though. BLE should be able to be active for week(s) before the battery is drained ... (ie. Bluetooth "LOW ENERGY") ...Arrrrgh! Thanks!

It's aluminium, like Volcano or SV3, in the spiral inner path with a little PEEK at the entry port, and SS screen inside.What materials are in the air path of the Crafty+?
It likely will not have type C.I hope that if there is a Mighty+, they decide to give it quick charging.
I can deal with that if technology is dictating a slower heat up time for longevity of heating element.
Just an update. Since I learned about the "always on" bluetooth setting and shut it off, my Crafty+ has done just fine with holding a charge. Weird that they would default set an energy vampire into their vape.
My Crafty+ Unboxing, hope you like it!
Ask me if you have questions about this fantastic vaporizer!
The Crafty Plus - The battery is outrageous. I got well over 90 minutes at varying temperatures. The cleaning has always been an issue for me I started using dosing pods remarkable, no gook. I get the feeling that this is the third version. like the 3rd versions of Pax 3.https://www.storz-bickel.com/en-us/crafty-plus?___store=us_storz_bickel_en
The Crafty is now discontinued by Storz & Bickel, replaced by the Crafty+!
S&B is very good at delivering a pretty clean product. Even so, I suggest (after charging to full) at minimum a burn-off. With cooling unit removed, run it up to highest temp for a couple of minutes, be careful it will be hot around the chamber. If no major smells or smoke then you're probably good to go. Let it cool a little and go for it. (or just pop in a capsule and away you go).What sort of cleaning do you do on a new unit. I finally gave up on the firefly 2+ and bought the crafty +.
I also use the dosing capsules and I still brush out the cooling unit and bowl after every use. I’d replace the coarse screen on the cooling unit with the fine screen included, that also prevents smaller particles from gumming up the works.What sort of cleaning do you do on a new unit.

I would recommend dosing capsules. I have zero residues. Without the capsule, I needed to clean every two uses. Beyond that, it would affect performance.What sort of cleaning do you do on a new unit. I finally gave up on the firefly 2+ and bought the crafty +.
