Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

[grogazola]

I'm also at 20 hours on my Crafty+ no problems, before this I got a secondhand Crafty cheap and put 80 hours on that over 2 years with no issue and sold it.

Yeah my original v1 crafty with around 100 hours never had the fuse problem.

Mine has 20 hours on it and still chugs no problem.

Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty short?? Aren’t 18650/Li-ion batteries good for 300 to 500 cycles while maintaining 80% charge?

Let’s say the Crafty lasts thirty minutes. Shouldn’t people at least get 150 to 250 hours without any major loss in battery capacity? Am I missing something here??

Decided to go with the OG Crafty for $195 from puff it up. Hoping I won't regret getting the C+. Maybe if it breaks down within the warranty they will upgrade me. For now because of the hybrid delema, i am staying away from newly realested vapes.

Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty short?? So twenty to a hundred hours? Aren’t 18650/Li-ion batteries rated at 300 to 500 cycles at 80%?

One would hope so...

Yep, we were talking about a thermal fuse blowing, the old Crafty had a thermal fuse that heavy, high temp users (that would run a battery flat in a session from back to back bong hits) would have blow way too soon so nothing to do with the battery cycles.
I was just hoping the thermal fuse temp rating was raised a bit on the new +

I am confident that they've solved that issue long ago, and I would hope a little more intelligently than just selecting the next fuse rating up.

All the devices you referenced are still operating and making people happy, so we can't determine their total life span yet.
It appears that you missed that part.
There are Craftys with 400-900 hours out there, I don't know the longest hours a single battery cell has made it.

Me too...once I see a teardown.

I would hope a little more intelligently than just selecting the next fuse rating up.

No, that is all that was needed to fix the problem...if you ran your unit hard enough to trigger it.

S&B is now offering a complementary "side kit" when you order the Crafty+.
It comes with even more accessories than the OG, minus the charge adapter.

Holy shit, the caddy in the second picture!
Fresh ones out the top, used ones go in the bottom?!

They are thinking.

Hey y’all, I love my Mighty and have been thinking about getting a crafty for when I’m walking the dogs etc. can y’all help me decide if I should go with the OG crafty or just spring for the + version?


thanks

 

[karec]

When they did the 20% increase bat on the OG Crafty the Thermal fuse problem or the red/yellow error never pop up again...to my knowledge... i made that fix twice and on the last one i put in a higher thermal fuse (184 to 192) and been running since with no problems, i also put a new sony vtc6 and my 400+ Crafty is still going!
There is a lot of info regarding this on the Crafty thread.
Cheers

I just took a look at Puffitup and they are in last days of 30% off of og Crafty. It comes with all those trimmings like always, plus a free wpa and grinder, so pretty sweet deal.

OTOH, their 15% FC-1 code works on Crafty+, with free wpa and grinder, just not the fancier accessories package. And when you register the + with S&B you get a 3rd year of warranty added. I think I'd go for that deal. (I usually ask them to swap me something else for the not-so-terrific grinder they give away).

Bought a Crafty OG on vapor.com yesterday for $165.75. Turns out it was a glitch on there website and they were actually out of them. Since i was a first time customer they upgraded me to the Crafty+ for the same price. Im so stoked!!!

I didn't notice that at first. Pretty nice upgrade actually. Notice the mouthpeice doesnt have an oring.

I just don't like filling the dosing caps. I bite my fingernails and can never get them open easily. I even bought the dosing capsule filling kit. Found them to be more work than its worth.

Would be nice if they upgraded the filling aid.

Sorry for the double post.

I contacted S&B to see if this (according to the website) complementary side kit for the Crafty+. Below is their response.

"The side kit is not “complimentary” (free), it is a “complementary” (enhance) to the Crafty Plus for $19.90 USD."

Guess it is an up sale.

Woooooowwwwww - I assumed it was complimentary not complementary. Just wooooowwwwwww!

 

[Vape_Or_Die420]

Guess my grammar is at fault. Lol

 

[vapviking]

I was also led into thinking the set was 'free with purchase' when I looked at S&B site. I understand there's a difference, but I think they'll have to change that wording, or be answering the question a lot...

 

[Vape_Or_Die420]

So i just got my Crafty+. I am connected to the app but for some reason it will not save the setting i chose for the shutoff timer. Not sure what is wrong here. Everything else with the app seems fine.

I'm a complete dosing caps convert. One of the reason's I'm a Crafty owner. And a Fury 2 owner. I'm in the wilder outdoors a lot or doing active stuff where I like to get a buzz on, like biking, snowshoeing, hiking: Can't be messin' around with loose stuff or lighters or extra stuff with the wind blowing as it does. Now I can go from three to two--one's my daytime fare, a Sativa, and the other's mostly for eves, an Indica. Now no more third container for used caps. With all the problems in the world--and in my life!--this makes my day. And I agree: The S-B folks just do a superlative job. I used to think they were the BMW of vapes, but now I think its more like Mercedes.

Only problem is, like Vape, I have some problems handling the caps and covers, arthritis in my case. I was thinking of trying the Delta3 loader.

Maybe I'm lucky my hands are one of the few parts hardly affected by mine yet.
That loader really looks the business. And I notice maybe free worldwide shipping over a certain amount now at Delta3D, nice for lots of people!
I wish patients could find someone nearby to fill capsules for them every now and then, maybe we should try create an app for that.
Dont forget the S&B plunger/capsule lid holder is available separately.

@Vape_Or_Die420 You need to use this as a reason to stop biting your nails! It's not good and might harm your teeth too?!
Capsules will be worth it!

I tried the capsules once, and it wasn’t for me. That restricted airflow doesn’t works for me... I have been blowing out clouds(!) starting at 190c and a full packed Mighty bowl.

@Vape_Or_Die420 - you mentioned before you have a mighty right? do you use dosing capsules in that?

Thanks for your concern, you are definitely right. I work in a very chaotic office environment. I only bite them there i found never over the weekend.
Hoping to sneak away at lunch and before work with the Crafty+ filled with some CBD Hemp Flower and a little bit of THC. I love vaping this combo when i can to ease my anxiety.

@grogazola no i never used any capsules in the Mighty.

 

[Poostuff]

I want to like the capsules because they’re cool & make everything neat organised & clean, but I like using S&B vapes so much better without them.

I do want to buy one of these but my 3rd crafty is only on 30hrs & hopefully has plenty left in it. I’ve just started using it with water again, I never do back to back sessions but this is when the other two crapped out on me.

A user replaceable battery would have excited me a little on this one, I find that it just gives less of a transient feel to a portable.

 

[Vape_Or_Die420]

I am sorry to say that my new Crafty+ is taking over 4 hrs to charge. The app will not save the setting i select as well. Not even 24hrs owning it and I'm starting a RMA. Disappointed to say the least.

55 mins of run time. I vape at 365f and boost only 5f degrees. 4 bowls per charge for me at around 13 mins a bowl.

Heat up time is about 1 min 20 sec that's pretty good.

Once this thing gets running right it will be a beast.
