Tried searching but I never seem to use the right term, tried looking back a few pages, but didn't see anything....

Does the Crafty+ have an issue with a coating coming off the bowl?

Discoloration, yes.
Actual flaking? Not as far as I know/remember.
It doesn’t look like it, but I’ll ask anyway… are you using hash/concentrates in it? Could it just be stubborn resin?

Hmm, dirty, and need to be cleaned, yes, on me, but no sand or other light trates.

A simple heat up to around 100F to check the battery with the app, shut down and wipe with an achohol wipe as always and I could see the difference immediately.

She was dirty, but not like that.

I really hope the Venty doesn't have the same chamber?

Chamber in the Venty Looks very similar. Ist just „baked“ resin like in the CU, bit harder to clean.
Had this with my Mighty and Crafty too… After a few months it gets darker and peal of like
a coating, but it isnt i think.

I had that on my first Crafty/Mighty. That is probably one of the reasons why capsules were invented. After they launched capsules I had my units replaced for minor bugs and never ever loaded loose herb since then.
This is how they look after more than 5 years (7?):

I leave the heater on and alternate between iso soaked q-tip and Water soaked q-tip while it’s running. (Be careful of steam with water!)
The back and forth + heat definitely gets most of the stubborn stuff removed, but it takes several rounds to clean up.

Not sure if this should be in Ask FC instead, but does anyone else get annoyed by the rattling stir tool/USBC cover when inserted? Wondering if there is a functional risk of leaving the USB port exposed to the elements like dust, lint, pocket debris, etc. I am mostly at-home butane person, but working on a Crafty to-go setup when out and about. Thinking about my mobile phone ports exposed all the time with no major issue.

I only notice this when I have the orange stir tool in, when the appropriate translucent,orange stir tool is used I don't notice any rattle,i personal feel it's best to keep the cover\stick oN when out and about..

I don't use the tool, and only pay attention to it when I'm looking for it after it being pulled out and lost after being turned to charge.

I'm in the camp of, my phone charges at the same current level, it's port is open and I ALWAYS have it with me.... and no problems. Small risk with my Crafty+..... just say'n

Question: anyone have any experience with the Mighty/Crafty replacement screens from Vgoodies vs. the S+B brand ones?

I have to use the fine screens in general because of how fine I like my grind-- if I use the coarse one, it lets material right through.

Replacement Screens for Crafty / Mighty and V3 Injectors by VGoodiEZ

Replacement Screens for Crafty/Mighty Cooling Units. Please check size/style/quantity options. Also works for our V3 14MM Injector (screened version) in clear and smoked glass!

vgoodiez.com

I'm wondering if the weave on the titanium ones is as fine as the stainless steel-- and if they work both work as well as the fine S+B ones? I prefer titanium, but am particularly paranoid about bits falling through-- I'd rather go with the SS if it's tighter and better at blocking tiny tiny particles.

Thanks so much! (posting this to the other S+B portable boards as well, since it's the same screens for all).

I had 2 crafties in the past, and I loved them but they weren't the most reliable vapes, did they improve this with the + version?

I have had my Crafty+ (V1 micro USB) for over a year and a half and use it as my daily on-the-go vape. I have logged 279 hours with it and it is still going strong. I use the Mighty+ and Plenty at home but the Crafty+ gets the most use out of all my vapes by far since I am usually vaping on the go and like to be a bit sneaky with it. I brush out the CU and oven after every bowl and clean everything and replace screens at least once a month and replace the CU every couple months. The only issue I have so far is the heater under the oven screen looks a little rusty* when I change the screen. I always gently brush it off and it look better after that. Anyone else have a heavily-used Crafty+ and noticed the same thing? How many hours do you have on your Crafty+? Hoping to get mine to 420 hours at least haha
