What's up everyone? Decided to buy a Crafty so wanted to share my first few days of experience. I was given an Ascent as a gift the day I bought the Crafty, so I'll compare the 2 if you're looking at buying either.
The Crafty is much lighter than I expected. Not in a cheap way at all, just lightweight, but sturdy. S&B did a really good job with it. Little features like a blinking charging light to tell you how much charge you have to go by the speed of the blinking light. For example, a slow blink if its 60% +, a rapid one if its below and steady light when its charged. It reminds me of the Plenty's little brother in a lot of ways. The Ascent feels a little heavier and just nice in your hand. No other way to put it. Very sleek and cell phone esque, screams quality. Holding the two you would think the Ascent is the more expensive vape on looks and feel alone. My Ascent had no off gas issues, seems very well built, glass straw is nice and snug. Ascent does take longer to charge but holds a charge for longer.
Vapor quality is fantastic in the Crafty. Really flavorful and satisfying. Heats up very quickly and rivals many lower to mid level desktop vapes I've tried. i was surprised at how cool the vapor was from the Crafty. Crazy to think about , but its that good. Ascent is very good vapor quality but a step below the Crafty IMO. It does have a nice clean taste with the glass airpath and also very satisfying. Didn't seem as cool as the Crafty but not a huge difference on temperature or smoothness. I picked up some cheap glass daisy screens and was getting great hits out of the Ascent with little material. I'm impressed with both, but the Crafty vapor is phenomenal and surprising.
The APP is well done and works great. I got it to sync 1st time and without trouble. A nice touch is that in the APPs options you can set the Crafty so that you can have your phone vibrate rather than the vape to tell you when its heated up and ready. This way you can conserve the Crafty battery and its not buzzing all the time . This is where the Ascent has its perks. You adjust everything right on the screen which is great if you dont want to control things with your phone. Both respond quick and heat up very fast.
Its only been a few days but I really like both vapes. Neither is going to uncrown my EVO or Plenty for home use, but on the go or when I want a quick session, both great choices. Similar in size, both very discreet. The vapor quality is a bit better with the S&B, but if that warrants an extra $150 - $ 200 dollars is up to you. I think where the Crafty lacks the Ascent excels (on board control and screen, glass path, price) and where the Ascent lacks the Crafty excels (vapor quality, fast charge up time, no need for glass screens on small amounts) I will say that I do like to use the liquid pads when vaping a small amount out of the Crafty and much like my Plenty it hits great with them in but a little better with them out.
I probably missed quite a few things so my apologies. Just excited and wanted to share my thoughts.
Happy vaping!
Thanks for the advice!
