I'll beta test it, if I get it for free. 
I already had a "you don't own it, you rent it" Crafty.
If I have to pay full price, i'll let others do the beta testing. Sorry.
They will update all models aside from the volcano, that just got its update with the hybrid, in the next time to come, is my bet. And I still hope they come up with something good for concentrates, is my wish.

Yes. It vibrates when it reaches set temp.
Given that the Crafty is newer than the Mighty, wouldn't it make the most sense to update the Mighty? From the teaser images, it looks like it could be a Mighty with Crafty-style lights and a flat bottom. They'd probably get rid of the screen and do two preset temperatures adjusted with the app. It'd be nice to see some improvement of materials but that seems a little unlikely since they already have several product safety certifications.
I love the screen of the mighty and that it doesn't require an app and an additional smartphone. It is so simple you can give it to someone and say it is a vaporiser. They will be able to figure out how it works.
But the last picture of S&B instagram clearly is a Crafty (-update). Maybe They call it Crafty-Disco now or something.

Anticipation sure can be a significant part of a product's market cycle!
Having lived through 4 rma'd Crafty's before finally settling in for years with a single Mighty, my hope for Crafty would be a more 'robust' unit that can put up with the same use pattern its' big brother can. Or have they done that already while I've been off carousing with other vapes?

Exactly my wish too. A Crafty with the performance of the Mighty and the durability of the original Volcano.

There are still, so far as we know, only the teasers and not the new new thing.

I still keep my Crafty in my weekly rotation. I don’t use it daily, but once or twice a week I enjoy it for sipping and relaxing. Even with its shortcomings, I still enjoy using it, when I have the time.
I can get several things done while I wait for it to heat up. Change a lightbulb. Take the dog for a walk.
Make dinner.
I would love to see the new version heat up in under a minute. I would also love if it got a little hotter (maybe 430 F)
The app doesn’t bother me - I sometimes open it just to see it slowly heat up - but two preset temps is enough for me. I keep it at 370F and boost to 410F.
I do wonder how much they are going to price the new one... The current one is $279. If it’s over $300, I am going to pass (for now). Then again, if they aren’t dropping a new Mighty along with it, it will probably still be priced lower than the Mighty, so maybe $299 is where it will be.
Just babbling a little while waiting for the new one to drop... feel free to babble with me.

That would be outrageous!I heard somewhere its gonna be 400.00!
Unless it is a handmade masterpiece (i.e. Nomad), anything over $350 for a portable is more than my VAS excuses will justify.

I was waiting for the same people who found those leaked photographs of the Volcano Hybrid,
or perhaps someone that knows how to see a patent that's just been filed!
Until then, it seems about every 5-7 days they're giving another clue.....
Me too, I use mine for trips to my friends or when out cycling.
It's got some great vapor for the size, i wasn't happy with the effects of other portables outdoors and the capsules sealed it.
Maybe I got a bit lucky, buying mine cheap secondhand with 30mins on it, I now have nearly 80hrs with no issue.
The heat time isn't always a big prob for me but maybe I'm a bit distracted while I'm out and about!
I suppose when in a rush I do wish for faster heat!
That teaser video shows a vape seemingly heating, for a period of 3 seconds, if that means anything.
Then when it heats to green, it's flashing. The Crafty just went solid when it heated, so is this an on demand type set up with fast heat time, and a requirement to hurry up and take your draws when it gets to heat?
Just something I thought about.
I was also looking at the tags for clues and there is one that says #tech, and #technology. while it doesn't give much away it suggests considerable differences in some areas, maybe heating!?
Cannot wait to see what its gonna be like! My first s&b device was a plenty which is absolutely awesome, my second was the mighty equally awesome, my third s&b device which I just purchased today is the volcano classic, I haven't used it yet but will tonight. All that's left for me to get Is the crafty. What I love about s&b is the dosing capsules work across the whole line, I love dosing capsules!
Am I turning into a storz-bickel fan boy???

I wish they would focus some attention to using less plastic especially on the cooling unit. It can not be good to inhale vapor from a hot cooling unit.

Is it medical grade plastic or something? Even then i wouldn't trust it. "Approved" just means it is currently approved. Like when we thought BPA in water bottles was ok.

@blackstone - you really studied that video!! 
Wow, I wouldn’t have even thought about it being an on-demand vape - that sounds waaaay out of S&B’s comfort zone. My guess is they will stick with what they know (session), but you never know. On-demand would definitely be great, if executed well.
Based on how slowly and subtly they tend to upgrade their products, I am keeping my expectations low.
Slightly faster heat up time, slightly longer battery life... anything else would be surprising to me - but we can all dream!
I was looking at all the comments on IG - so funny how angry everyone gets at their teaser videos.
Patience is not part of most of the commenters psyche.

Yes maybe someday they will tell us we already should be dead.
From the medic site: "We have applied the maximum possible care and diligence in all materials that come into contact with inhaled air. All materials are food-safe, heat-resistant, and according to FDA regulations."
I just saw they now have a volcano medic 2.
