The crafty, in my opinion, isn't too stealthy- it's pretty big and clunky, and produces big smelly clouds that are certain to garner attention. The crafty is basically between the ultra-portable units, and the plug-in units like the Volcano. It's not nearly as small, light, or concealable as the PAX2 and doesn't have as great of a battery, and compared to units like the Volcano, isn't even a fraction as reliable. I was very happy with my Crafty purchase 6 months ago, but considering that PAX seems to stand behind their products more than S&B now, the Crafty is simply not worth the extra money. If I could change the past, I would have purchased a PAX2.So... How big are your hands? I think the Crafty is more portable than the Mighty because of its smaller size, but I don't think it's particularly stealthy.
If stealth is a priority to you, you may want to consider the pax 2. Or if you don't mind waiting, the grasshopper.
Sorry if I was unclear- all of my comments have been about the Crafty, in particular. I've only heard better things about the Mighty (aside from the larger size, which I guess can be good/bad, depending on user preferences).IMHO only, it sounds to me that you torched your battery. I would be able to get half of 120 hours, lots of people have brand new Crafty's that shit the bed in less than 30 with the newest firmware. It's just the name of the roulette game with the Crafty. I totally disagree with you that the Mighty isn't reliable, but they have only been out for just over a year. You don't see what you see here in the Mighty thread, not even close. Regardless, maybe your best bet is to just pay for the battery? You will receive a brand new Crafty, and then you can sell it! I'll buy it!
It just sucks to be in this position after spending $330 on the unit, as well as probably $50-$100 on accessories (extra mouthpieces, chargers, battery packs, etc.)...my options are to spend ~$80 [$10-15 on shipping, plus $70 (including $30 of labor) for repair], or have a unit that is totally unreliable, and now with a worse battery life- a battery life that was already subpar to begin with. And I've only had the unit for 6 months...It's clear now that this product should be seldom-used, and cannot/should not be used as your primary "tool." In other words, this product isn't your everyday car, it's the car you take on a Sunday stroll every so often. For $330, that's just a joke.
