Background: (skip to first impressions)
UPS came yesterday when I was in the middle of making edibles for Thanksgiving. I didn't want to be high and burn my brownies. I've been clean 5 weeks. I used to hit the bong daily but I hate the feeling of "OMG I'M GONNA DIE" after taking a massive rip. My only other vape was the MFLB. I was a fan of the stealth but my boyfriend claimed it never got him high (because we smoked bowls so regularly). The very first time he used the MFLB, he didn't let go of the battery in time and left a small char in the middle of the screen.
First Night/Day Impressions:
Initial Thoughts:
-BF really likes the orange pick "filling chamber tool". It's not flimsy.
-Crafty finished its initial charge in about 20-25 minutes. Good shit but I was in the process of baking so I was counting on it to take longer. I took it off the charger and abandoned Crafty for another few hours.
-That LED is soooo damn bright. It lit up my entire bedroom.
-The Crafty logo by the mouthpiece is sexy. Couldn't tell in video reviews but it has holographic (is that the word?) S&B logos. Someone else mentioned this on the thread.
First Battery Cycle: I grinded up .420 of high quality buddha and filled the orange filling chamber thing. This made 4 bowls (3 of which I vaped on one charge). I could have gotten at least another bowl on that charge but I heated up the 3rd bowl on 3 separate occasions. Also note, I was outside (snowing out here) for 2 of the 3 bowls.
Now for the actual vaporization:
1. On the first bowl, we took about 8-12 massive rips from 300-410°F. Crafty kept up with myself and my boyfriend. I was SUPER high
from 10pm - 1am when I KO'd. It lasted longer than a smoking high. I woke up at 7am with some notable after-buzz (muscles still feel relaxed).
2. For the second bowl, I didn't count how many draws. I was vaping outside with 3 other close friends who couldn't vape because they had things to do within the next hour (but they were intrigued by the device and want to use it another time!). They were curious about what the Crafty smelled like so I blew the vapor in their faces (upon request). One friend said, "It smells like perfume." The other two agreed that it "definitely didn't smell like weed."
*Remember we were outside, so this could change when indoors.* I was ridiculously high from 12pm - 3pm with some after buzz.
3. The third bowl got over 10 hits and was heat up 3 separate times. I definitely wasn't as smacked as the other two times, but I was pretty high for 2-3 hours. I still have a body buzz. I'm vaping the fourth bowl in a bit. I'm definitely looking forward to re-entering deep space.
Other notes: This morning, Crafty had trouble syncing to my iPhone; a simple phone restart fixed it. I haven't had trouble with the vape since. I'm using a camera case as a vape case. It has a velcro pocket in the front for the brush. The vibration feature is really useful. It was snowing hard today so I couldn't have my phone out to check if Crafty was ready. Just want to say again to people who are afraid to switch from bong to vape, you won't regret it! I'm getting higher than ever before. My boyfriend even tried another bong hit while I had taken the Crafty. He said that combustion just doesn't compare anymore.
Overall I want to say, so far so great. I'll come back and update soon.
Definitely looking forward to a great Danksgiving.
