To elaborate on my previous point: when something is made in Germany it means that the person making it got a decent wage, paid vacation and is not forced to breathe in toxic fumes. It also means in this case that the device is made with German precision.
In China the worker got about ten dollars a day, if lucky, and who cares about the labor conditions. Yes you pay a little more for the reliability of a Crafty but it's likely going to last.
Case in point: I have a Volcano that has been in daily use for over ten years. Still running, yet the air volume was not as robust. I brought it to the service center in Oakland and for fifty bucks they'll tune it up.
Read the threads for the Firefly. many need to get sent back for service, none get ever repaired just thrown in the trash and exchanged for another one. It is a different business model.

I am 13 hours in with the Crafty and it still amazes me after each and every session how well the herbs are extracted and how clean everything is in the bowl after a swipe and a blow! I have never seen such evenly coloured ABV in my vaping career and I am also thrilled to be back in no-stir-land once again after a long time!
Crafty makes for an excellent hand-warmer as well and is invaluable in the freezing morning yurt! Wake, bake and getting toasty!
Being alive feels amazing...

ok, you guys convinced me to check it out...I pulled the trigger yesterday and so far I'm impressed! Best portable I've tried so far from an overall extraction and ease of use POV. It's small enough to be stealth. ABV is evenly cooked. Flavor is really good! Hits like a champion. It gets me really fucking high.
So far this is a compelling entry into the portable vape market! The Crafty is going to take first string in my portable lineup. I'm going to pack up my Solo and send it to my sister to get her vaping.
BOOM!

This is a false assumption. The "Made in Germany" stamp means only that the final production process was in Germany. There are various interpretations but this is the loosest one and therefore the only one you can be sure of.

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too
I'm currently using one of these as a carry case.

Its a baby bottle warmer.
It's insulated
It's 99% smell proof
It's padded
Will fit in a coat pocket
It fits the Crafty, my usb power pack and cable, and the filling aid with a little spare room.

Whoa you live in a yurt?

Well sadly looks like experiencing first problem with my crafty. It charges and shows up on app just will no longer start. No matter how I try to press power button just doesn't turn on. Any thoughts?
If not guess I will find out how good customer service is.

Do you have a link to the item? Thanks
Looks like you 're going to need service. Have you tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds. You're supposed to have power when you do that but it might work. How many hours are on your unit?

General assumptions like this really needs a bit of clarification. Just because something is manufactured in Germany does not guarantee a well made product just like if something is manufactured in China, it does not automatically mean that it's an inferior product.

Wow. So I thought one final litmus test for me with the Crafty: Brickweed.
Made it taste like top shelf OG!
Just kidding but seriously it was waaaay tastier than the pax or ff makes it taste. Here's what I'm noticing: Where other portable Vapes start to taste funky and overly roasted this thing keeps the flavor longer and when there's no more aromas to extract it's pretty much flavorless. I much more prefer tasteless cool vapor than hot burnt vapor that tastes like butthole.
And 2 tokes of this ragweed and I'm much more medicated than what I would feel with the FF or Pax.
Yaay!

Have to agree here as I have had the same experience with a Mighty and some 'mersh'.
These little machines are top notch.

When the battery wears out it can be sent back to the he company for a new one? So many portables on the market these days seem to be throw away when the battery craps out. With a $400 price tag I would want my battery replaced when the time comes.
I'm trying to keep up with the thread. Sorry if that has been asked.

I notice a lot of people interested in smell proof carry cases. Stealth is a top priority for me and I'm considering a crafty to replace my mflb. Is there much smell with the crafty in your pocket ? Or when vaping with it ? Thanks

Check out some of my posts earlier.

I wonder if that includes shipping both ways? If it does, and the turnaround time is quick (one week), then I'm pretty comfortable with that. However, I hope the batteries last a while before needing replacement. My first FF battery didn't last long at all.

Great Scott!
This is an 18650 I believe, and the firefly is some weird battery I'm not familiar with. The 18650s lasted quite a while in my thermovape cera before feeling "warn out". Same thing with the persei. I think they tend to last longer than other types of batteries, but IDK how true that really is.
