I get about 3-4 good sessions out of my crafty, I usually vape full bowls now a days, so 10+ hits per session, I also run at max temps.
So it comes down to 1/1,5 bar of the battery indictor for each bowl/session?I get about 3-4 good sessions out of my crafty, I usually vape full bowls now a days, so 10+ hits per session, I also run at max temps.
I got my Crafty today too! (ordered from Amazon) and just finished my first bowl now hahaha
Real excited with getting used to this vape
Why you have Crafty & Mighty? Isn't that like double? You use the Mighty at home and Crafty on the go?
What are the advantages of the Mighty above the Crafty besides double battery power?
I've been using my Air for over a year now, still works very good.
But my throat gets quickly irritated, even on the first bowl on my Air with the short easyflow stems.
So I decided to give myself a little present for my upcoming birthday.
One thing I already noticed today with my crafty: I immediately charged the crafty (with my samsung phone charger). Charged for approx 40 mins max, the light was solid blue
Couple hours later I heated the first bowl up to 185C, took like 4 nice hits max,
I look at the battery indicator at my phone and I'm like wtf?
3 bars gone already? So I was like maybe I didn't charge it max.
So I turn it off, and charge again.
On my phone it was going from 2 to 3 bars charging till suddenly in a couple of minutes it was solid blue again.
I put it on again, and the indicator was max again. I heated the same bowl up to 200C, vaped the remainders for 4/5 mins max (didnt get much out of this compared with the air, even though the herb still remains greenish not the brown almost burned herb with the air), and already 1 bar gone again? this cant be good, right?
btw that first bowl got me way more f*cked up than the air would

The lids of the prepacks make a great half load oven tray.
500 hour crafty O_oAre you riding on your crafty to work? Sorry just joking, your housing looks pretty damaged.
thank you! and thank you for your reply!Based on stories here and Mighty thread, there are a lot of folks who've had Crafty and migrated to Mighty, with far less making a switch the other way around.
Both work very, very well, to be sure. Since Feb. '15 I've had three Crafty's now a Mighty. The differences have been discussed a lot, but I'll list a couple.
Mighty's two batteries charge faster than Crafty's one because Crafty uses usb at 5V/2A and Mighty uses 12V/3A. Then Mighty delivers at least twice as many bowls per charge.
Mighty reaches temp (approx 1 min 40sec for +160C lift) faster than Crafty (over 2 minutes for same).
Mighty doesn't get as hot as fast, since the load is shared by two batteries.
Mighty handles back to back sessions (even very hot ones) better; Crafty will overheat and shut down sometimes and I have not seen that with the Mighty.
A single battery replacement in Crafty costs $70 US. Changing the two in Mighty costs $90, but those two will last twice as long a Crafty's one.
It also seems that Mighty's need repair/return less frequently.
The main thing Crafty has over Mighty is size and it can stand up unassisted
I am obviously biased, don't get me wrong I love the Crafty too. It seems that folks here generally think that Mighty's suit heavy users better. Lighter or occasional use would be ideal for a Crafty, imo.
Lately some owners of new Crafty's are saying they may be getting more bowls/charge. I think S&B makes rolling changes to circuitry and/or software, so things are likely improving on that score.
Plus we've got Crafty legends like @Vambo1980 who has achieved over 500 hours on his Crafty with some knowledge and fine soldering skills! vape on, dude!
Best of luck, enjoy your Crafty!
Each of the three eventually failed and each was covered under warranty. I think the oldest was 4 months, with approx. 135 hrs on it. When I sent the third in, I asked for upgrade to Mighty, which they allowed me; I just paid the difference in retail price. This kind of warranty upgrade is primarily available only if you are making a valid Crafty warranty claim.why (did) you have 3 crafty's? did 2 broke down or something?
What's is your opening method???Nice vid of dosing capsules by @WakeAndVape over on p312 of Mighty thread.
(I prefer my opening method over his, but whatever gets the job done)
As he says, must spend over $25 to get free shipping.
Shame they don't offer a capsule sample pack.
I bought too many, so I'd like to share.
PM me and I'll mail you 4 free capsules.
I have enough for nine FC testers. (USA)
Try them. Get that OCD rush!
what does quasi-plugin mean?Each of the three eventually failed and each was covered under warranty. I think the oldest was 4 months, with approx. 135 hrs on it.

I'm a pretty heavy user (plus a wife on same device!) and found that the Crafty single battery could not keep up the pace, so I was always putting it on the charger, which may have contributed to demise(s). Mighty has no problem keeping up, and can function as a quasi plug-in, too.
You're in for a nice ride as it is, and IF your Crafty runs into trouble, you can think about the change then.
'Quasi plug-in' is just a term I used for it. S&B says you can use Mighty plugged in even when the batteries are depleted. But it does not have what's referred to as true pass-thru charging. A pass thru piece can both operate as device and charge battery at the same time.what does quasi-plugin mean?
I'm gonna try to return my Crafty in exchange for a Mighty.
is it a good idea to charge between sessions? supposed to be bad for lithium batteries, not sure if it also applies to the crafty battery?
or is it better to drain battery each time halfway/completely and charge then?
This reminds me -- have you ever tried screwing on Crafty's stock c/u so the mouthpiece projects off the opposite side from usual? This might also help with beard penetration? Nice change of pace...finally tried mighty c/u on crafty
..i dont think the taste is better but it definately seems to last longer in mouth (..it could be me)
and its cooler
so very happy i got it
..on a side note - as mouthpiece now sticks out more - it has better beard penetrating abilities
How fitting, this is your message #420!just received and paid an invoice for the MY upgrade. Chomping at the bit!!!!
Sorry for the slow reply..i'm kinda new at conversing on FC.. I don't know what model the soft case is...i'd suggest that you go to a camera shop or electronic store and look at their small soft camera cases. The one I use fits the Crafty and there is a little extra room in th case...of course you can get any size you want if you want to carry extras.....[
Could you take a pic or link which case it is to me? Thanks
