@Polarbearboy how's your crafty doing, is it still working normally after you did the battery replacement?

Seems to be working like almost new. Not even a moment of flashing red/blue. Charges fine and is holding the charge well enough for at least 9 mini sessions, probably more. I usually use concentrates in the evening with bangers or oil vapes, but just to check, I stuck with the Crafty and did three dosing caps, each with two mini-session and then a final boost-mode mini. I have great flower--Ritual Lemon Haze--and got surprisingly rocked, as good as from diamonds and live resin. The place I ordered the new Crafty + allowed me to cancel my order. I'm one happy camper.
Again, not sure if it was the new battery, plugging battery temp sensor out and then back in, or something else, but more important than the new battery, the false temp too high/temp too low flashing has completely stopped.

someone on reddit posted, that the Lotus WPA works with it, so i used my crafty with a j-hook, like a log vape and its really nice and open airflow.

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
POTV is now selling the older model Crafty+ for $199. The updated model hit the market today.

Wait a minute! There's a Crafty + +?
PS: Just went to the POTV site and its the "2021" model. Appears that there are two upgrades from the C +: USB charging and ceramic coated bowl, like they just released on the upgraded Mighty.

So I’m beating up on the new Crafty+C. Nice little beast. However, the S&B web app and Android app wont let me pair the new device due to “BLE issues”. Is this a known issue? I got frustrated and may go without app control but the light show isn’t the stealthiest when I’m out sneaking a toke.

Did you get a C + or the newest 2021 C +? Just curious.
When my original ogCrafty after 11 months of use stopped connecting to the app via bluetooth, I contacted S-B and they had me send it in and sent me the newest 20% more version. If I were you, I'd contact S-B.

I got the newest C+ directly from S&B. After some digging around, I found the suggestion to use Bluefy for iOS as a web browser to connect. This is the only solution that finally worked. The paid WebBLE app that S&B suggests does not work for my new Crafty C+. I am definitely an S&B fan but this app headache doesn’t seem very on brand for such a premium priced device.

Don't blame S&B problems on them, this is Apple's wrongdoing. We have no issues using Android.

Crafty+ Update!
Really this is total BS. I finally decided to buy a Crafty+ and now less than 2 years they are coming out with a Crafty+ update (faster charging, USB-c, and ceramic bowl).
I feel that this is a total F**k you to those of us who bought the original Crafty+; if this was the intention then Storz and Bickel should have done these upgrades for the original Crafty+. This is a total low blow. I will think twice about supporting this company in the future.
Now the old Crafty+ is going for $199 vs $279 for the updated version.
Storz & Bickel - thanks for screwing me over.

Not really trying to place blame on S&B. I’ve owned most of the lineup and love them (except for Plenty which Jurgen called an “okay” vape lol)
I have both Android and iOS and as a data point, both needed a workaround. I’m just happy that the Bluefy browser works for me.
Anecdotally, my new Crafty+C is pumping out clouds so quickly compared to my OG Mighty (20% version). Pretty happy and optimistic for solid daily driving while out.
It has been a while since I finally bought a vaporizer. I had my Mighty Serviced 2x and Herbalizer 1x since 2014/2015. Mighty battery ended up fried and S&B wouldn't replace it so I ended up selling it to a friend and the friend used it mostly as a pass through before he stopped using it.
I have been using Herbalizer for a good while now usually with a glass piece. Growing tired of the level of maintenance/handling of the Herbalizer itself. Was heavily considering Vapexhale Evo, Tafee or Hopper IO and I missed the Crafty+ update I heard about the Mighty+ and it didn't appeal to me.
Crafty++ though honestly seems to be Mighty Jr in some form. Seems promising so far that this version of Crafty now has resolved the gripes of it in the past with battery life/charging issues.
Looking forward to a simple device to be able to use anywhere I go and around the house essentially.
Hoping it can hold up to 5-6 bowls which would be near 75% of my OG Mighty at 8 bowls which would be acceptable for me before recharging.
Got a discount code so jumped on the Crafty++. Been a while since I'm eagerly waiting for the tracking number!
Will see if this can retire Herbalizer.

My 3rd crafty died on me a few months ago. Pretty tempted to pick up the 2020+ for $199. Still seems pricey considering the still poor battery and not being changable. Also a pain to clean, but I will have 4 coolers if I get another one lol. picked up the boundless cfv then returned it as it was a horrible vape by comparison! I do miss my crafty though

Lmao what the heck are you talking about.
'How dare Storz n Bickel update their products after a couple years!!' wut?
Yeah they should do what they did with the Volcano and wait like 10 years to update it. I bet the 'fans' will love that >.> (sarcasm) XD.
Alternatively they could have just updated ONLY the Mighty and Crafty fans would have been like 'wtf wheres our update??'
Storz N Bickel have released a number of refreshes on the Crafty+
You can now get the original Crafty's cheaper.
How is this screwing over any customers lmao?
I get that you're salty because you bought it recently but if you were following Storz n Bickel they have been hinting at this for months and a refresh was long overdue. Actually over 10 months ago to be exact.
Also none of this means your Crafty+ is suddenly shit.
The original crafty+ is still a great unit. The charging difference is only about 25minutes anyways.
If your Crafty ends up breaking under warranty I wont be surprised if they replace it with the new one.

Would you give them $80 and your Crafty+ in exchange for the new one? Just curious if you think it is worth the money to update....

Does that include shipping? If so I say go for it.

Yes, it is within every company's prerogative to do whatever they want to their product line - however, I feel the move from the Crafty to Crafty+ and then to upgrade within 2 years to the ++ was extremely short-sighted in product development and planning. What was the point of launching the Crafty+ if the company planned to have significant upgrades thereafter?
I guess shame on me for not following their news - but really this is just not cool. Yes, does the Crafty+ rock - yeah it does, but to me, it is the principle of preserving the value of your vape and have it depreciate overnight is very unpleasant.

S&B's entire history is filled with updates/improvements to their products. "Significant upgrades?" That's a relative term; really, they only changed the charger and lined the bowl. If those technologies were not ironed out 2 yrs ago, would you have had them delay all the + improvements to Crafty for this long? I'm more surprised that they didn't upgrade the Mighty back then and then do this step separately for both.
Except for maybe for certain collectibles, vapes are a very poor investment vehicle; I don't think depreciation should really enter the conversation. You've got a kick-ass vape in your hands right now, enjoy it!
For a kick, you might try contacting S&B and inquiring about an upgrade/trade-in, they very well may be making some accommodation for folks in your shoes.

I have learned that not complaining is, as though, living a life with nothing to complain about.
Yet I am unsure, did I avoid annoyance or gain grace when I bought a Boundless Tera because the local Uruguayan vape tienda had sold-out the S&B Crafty +?
Living too far away to worry with warranty repair service is fabulously freeing; I like vape tear downs.
This little one has me stumped.

Just picked one up, got 15% off at local store.
The app lets me know when its hot. It seems to work well.
Only tried a small amount in the dosing capsule. It was a toss up, this or mighty. I would like the digital read out, but its on the phone along with battery condition. Crafty + was in stock.
Its charging now.
