Love my Crafty. Had a bluetooth problem and was replaced by S-B quickly and for free after a year with the 20% more version Had the current one for three years. Its become my primary outdoor recreational vape, so has been out in -0F windy and snowy xc skiing, in my windshirt pocket biking on roads and dusty trails, in the cool mist hiking and getting knocked around. But lately its been getting the red/blue flashing temp light, but its not cold or hot and now won't do anything but that flashing. Won't turn on and won't charge, just flashes when the button is pressed or the charging cable attached. Way out of warranty.
So today I ordered a Crafty +. I'm up in northern Newfoundland at my place there but I had brought the JCat replacement battery that I'd ordered last year with me. I'd procrastinated replacing the down to three sessions battery, in part because I'm not that handy with small precise stuff. But I watched JCat's video and earlier this eve, and to my amazement, after a bit of nudging and gentle prying, it all went together. I turned it on briefly before charging the new battery and it started heating up!, which it had been refusing to do. And now its charging, apparently normally. The Crafty 20% more has the temp sensor taped to the battery, so perhaps that was the problem. But it works. I'm doubly amazed and delighted. We'll see how it goes. I would be almost joyous to cancel my Crafty + order as its comes to over $300US with tax and shipping at the lowest price I can find here in Canada. I love the old guy.
PS: Fully charged in 15 or so minutes. Just did a dosing cap with a lovely sativa--the apparently award-winning Ritual Green Lemon Haze, grown here in the Atlantic Provinces. Ye auld Crafty (20% More!) seems fine, even happy, as if a piece of electronics had bit of heart. I've been an atheist since I was a kid, but this could make me a believer!
PPS: #1 Reason for loving my Crafty: The longish cooling air path, essential to my 73 year old ex-cig and j smoker lungs, 50 years of each. I use water pieces 100% at home. #2 Dosing caps, they make outdoor reloading in the wild places I adore and try to hang out in a cinch. I have three little five cap carriers; one for sativas, one for indicas and one for used. In four years, this vape has only seen loose leaf once or twice; its 99.9% pre-loaded by me dosing caps. So convenient and clean and smell controlable. #3 It hits just so reliably and with high extraction.
