I managed to spend quality time with the craft this weekend.

took it to the top of a waterfall with some mates. I had the crafty fully charged and packed, and i also took the loading tool fully loaded with flower; the holding tool holds a suprising amount of herb! Having the crafty and the loading tool, meant that I only had 2 platic pieces that i could comfortably carry around in my pockets carefree. the loading tool really shines here: it allows for really fast packing on the go, without worrying about spillage or anything. I have the fresh flower on top and i can get ABV on the bottom. its also so easy to clean the crafty on the move, empty the bowl with the stirring tool and can easily blow out the remaining.

only one mate tokes, and he found the crafty so easy to use. the app is a sure fire crowd pleaser and got everyone talking

I also smuggled the crafty into a movie theater! worked very well and watching interstellar baked was amazing!

I think over this weekend the crafty really came through and I can say that it comfortably justifies the extremely high price. the ease of use, cleaning, on the go loading and most improtantly its ability to medicate so fast makes it a totally complete portable!

Picked up a Crafty this weekend. Great little vape and a great purchase.

My biggest fear with this device was depending on Bluetooth LE and an app that's bound to break at some point with a major iOS upgrade (sounds like on Android this is already the case). I poked at my Crafty with Light Blue, a Mac app for Bluetooth Low Energy device developers and decompiled the Android APK to see variable names for the various UUIDs and figure out what I was looking at so we can document how the app works on the off chance S&B stop supporting it. This also gets users access to even more data about the battery, temperatures and errors than the password protected admin screen shows.

In theory this information can be used to create third party apps. Want programmable temperature curves instead of just 2 set points? Want to be able to dial in a saved temperature ramp for an individual strain? Totally doable with a third party app though in both cases you would need to be in Bluetooth range of your phone or computer.

The one thing to watch is it seems the Crafty stops advertising its Bluetooth LE services while it's being used by the app or Light Blue. If you have trouble getting the app to find your Crafty after playing in Light Blue just toggle the Bluetooth on your Mac off then back on. This seems to force it to disconnect and start advertising again. You may need to turn off bluetooth on your phone to get the device to show up in Light Blue as well.

Send data back to your Crafty at your own risk! I have yet to try it.

Let me know if I got anything wrong and I can update this document.

Don't know if it's the same reset- system, but if you press the button for 10 seconds, it returns to default settings according to the manual.

Nice job by the way ! Very impressive, it would be so cool and great to see modified apps for the Crafty !

I'd rather see a Lollipop BLE solution.. Poor Nexus keeps begging all day :/

This should not be considered a replacement for the app. I for one am typically not in a state be to able to convert integers into binary to send to the device while I'm using it. ;)

Instead this is the first step towards third party apps that can extend the functionality of the Crafty or work on Android 5, iOS 9 or whatever before S&B have a chance to fix their app. This also gets you access to even more diagnostics and low level information than the password protected "diagnostic panel" (tap 5 times on the serial number on the Device screen).

Ok that's cool and all, but for now imo main thing is to get it working on Android 5 at all.
Is this even app related, and not a general BLE issue?!
If so, this is probably already discussed on related forums, but I'm not really into this.. just consuming. But I've got the feeling other people here are

Here is a review of the Crafty power pack:

Stolz & Bickel price list on their site shows the "Crafty Power Bank at $29.90. But, their online store doesn't show this item. Wonder if this can be ordered now ?

Why not get one from Amazon at a more reasonable price, and more power too.
Can any power bank be bypassed/passthru like on the video?

A less expensive unit from Amazon makes sense, but interesting that Storz & Bickel see the need for a mobile power solution.

I'm about to but the one that matches the crafty in color, but instead of 1000 mAh I'm going for 1500, is that a good choice? and what are the benefits/risk to more mAhs other than more charging juice?

Cheaper is not necessarily better, look at the iSmart ports and the charging rates on the RAV Power unit. For just the vape your fine but I plan on using mine for my phone and other stuff that can take advantage of the iSmart/higher charge rates.

The Android 5 failure is 100% an app-related issue. My guess is they used an API of some sort that doesn't work the same way in 5 so it can no longer connect.

Voltage Accu is the battery voltage. Everything referring to 'Accu' is battery related as Accu is shorthand for a rechargeable battery in German.

Interesting. I'll update my list to add battery to the various "Accu" lines.

Great Scott!
but interesting that Storz & Bickel see the need for a mobile power solution.

No need, but great to have options. If they thought it was needed, it would be included. And the base price would be higher to reflect it too.

Just like car charging is optional, so is this. I use my car charger and my power bank as appropriate, but someone with a lower tolerance could get several days out of a fully charged crafty, and I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate the power bank as anything forced for them to pay for. I like the idea of optional extras and I'm not sure why you make it sound like options are a bad thing.

OK disagree with me, I can't force you to be right

Ah, but is it color coordinated? :rofl:

Sorry for back to back. We must have posted at the same moment. Couldn't figure out how to edit in a second reply.

@Stu: Do you have a link for that cable? Might make it to free shipping level!

Sorry, I did not intend to make the battery pack option a bad thing. I agree that optional extras are great! Kudos to Storz & Bickel for identifying the need and offering the power bank option so quickly. I'm still wavering between the the Crafty and Mighty so the power bank option is giving the Crafty a bit of an edge for me, even though it will be my only vape with much use at home. Thinking that I will rarely be far from an electrical outlet at home so don't need the extra battery power except when traveling.

Cheers

Ah, I see it now. Didn't notice the "blue lettering". Was looking for the standard URL. Is that a Staff Member thing or is there a way for us to do it instead of the insert URL icon?

In the toolbar, click the "link" icon (chain link) after you've highlighted some text in your post, then paste the URL in the dialogue box and you're golden.:tup:
