Well gentlemen, ladies, I have officially purchased the Crafty.
Never in my life have I paid extra to have a package expedited to me.
I'm on X-mas break, time is valuable, if I could get 3-4 additional Crafty days of winter break....
I paid a little extra.
24$ but I'll have it on Saturday. Otherwise, it wasn't coming until the 31.
I did good in school, I have pure unadulterated free time, and I've been anticipating this unit since you guys got my hype about the Crafty pages and pages back.
I'm all about design, and I think this product is very unique. It took many vapes to get to this point. It's interesting from a design perspective, because the simpler answer was just to make the Mighty.
Someone said, "you can't sacrifice pocketability" The Mighty is just, so much more straightforward of a design. From a manufacturing perspective, they couldn't make the product smaller, by adding those additional components, they figured; shit let's at least give the Mighty twice the battery to make up for the bigger size.
The Crafty, however answers those design challenges. They didn't sacrifice the digital readout.
Rather than making the product bigger, you change the way people interact with the unit, you make the display outside of the unit. Genius. Rather than change the product; change the people/product dynamic. People already have these screens in their pockets.
When stealth is a factor, and the unit is shutting down, vibration. No noise, no constant checking the glowing temperature screen, when it buzzes in your pocket, you know it's ready, that's very stealthy.
Anyways, I'll give it few sessions and try to summarize my experiences.
You guys have got me very excited, and as someone who started off with the iOlite, I can't believe how far design has taken these products. I'm thoroughly excited, and I hope you all enjoy your Craftys.
