I think it makes no difference! Vape on!

The rechargeable batteries do not like being emptied all the way and left that way. Long term storage should be done at about 80%.can some8ne tell me if it is better to send the crafty with fully loaded batteries or empty abroad...

You are probably correct, I am no battery expert by any means. I was just recounting something posted here in a battery specific thread. Different battery electrochemistries like different treatment and I do know they don't like to be run flat and stored that way.Everything I have ever read has said it's more like 40%.
Hi. I am looking at the crafty now and seriously considering getting one this month, the battery issue does concern me.. I haven't a clue what this below means could you let me know! Thanks superx
Crafty connects to phone app via bluetooth and this can control temps & lights, plus readouts like the one shown.Hi.

I suggest that you send it in and request an upgrade to Mighty. Yours is malfunctioning, that should be covered. Even though you'll soon be out of warranty, a Mighty could very well last you a couple more years.So I guess as of last month or so, Crafty's warranties are starting to end. Anyone have experience with this yet? I'm on my 4th Crafty v2.10 has 120 hr so far. It's only issue is for some reason it turns on when I plug it in. It's a fault but not sure if its enough for them to replace. My 2 years is up in March.
Overall these 2 years have been good when I'm able to use it out of the house, but having to go through a new one every 6 months is awful, especially when I've had my volcano for 6 years with it being on for at least 3 of those years collectively 25% of that time on 9. Volcano is a beast so I bought Crafty but it's just not reliable enough (although it runs battery so it would never last as long). Not sure Id recommend and I tell everyone about its failures when they ask me is it worth.
So I guess as of last month or so, Crafty's warranties are starting to end. Anyone have experience with this yet?
I have been reading about all these known issues and was wondering if you can transfer a warranty through S&B? If not, then maybe I should sell it before any issues start to rear it's ugly head.
Crap that is great! I am going to contact the guy I got it from. Good to know, thanks @biohacker !You can transfer the warranty. As long as you have some sort of proof of purchase/invoice you're good to go!
Welcome @Little Bill !Hi all, I'm turning 74 next month. I discovered weed the year I turned 70. Smoked it at first for two years. Bought a Crafty from S&B in July 2015. It failed (orange, red lights) in December 2016 with 41 hours use.
While it was being replaced under warranty I read this whole thread and some other threads. My new unit has 3 hours on it in about 4 weeks and I haven't had to clean it with ISO yet, but I have changed the concentrate pad once.
My vaping technique is as follows:
I am experimenting with micro dosing.
I vape 10-14 sessions per week.
Each session lasts 3-4 minutes (including heat up) with 4-6 pulls about 5 seconds each.
One or two of the draws are after the unit is off before it cools.
I vape at 174c with boost set to 14c to finish bowl at 188c.
I medium grind with the S&B plastic grinder and use 6-7 milligrams per session.
I lightly pack and then cover the flower with a concentrate pad to minimize gunk in the cooling tower.
If I want two sessions from one bowl I load 12-15 milligrams.
I brush out the ABV as the unit is cooling down.
I recharge after 4-5 sessions.
I plan to 99% ISO clean monthly with approximately 1/8 oz. weed used.
I have 4 pads and will replace or ISO clean the pad every other week.
I turned vibration off when I got the new unit for battery and reliability.
I feel fortunate to have a vape that works so well for me.
With good flowers I get good aroma, flavor,good solid vapor, and low draw resistance.
On the universal scale I get to a 3-4 high (my preference) and sometimes a 5.
My high tapers down over 3-4 hours.
I am now using 62% humidity pads to freshen up some older flowers.
I would prefer to live in a legal state with lower prices and supply choices.

Hi! and welcome.Hi all, I'm turning 74 next month. I discovered weed the year I turned 70. Smoked it at first for two years. Bought a Crafty from S&B in July 2015.
@Mr. Me2 can you elaborate on the pie shaped screen? Why would you use a cone instead of just a circle to lay on top of chamber? Call me stupid, but I can't visualize it.Welcome @Little Bill !
When I first got my Crafty, I used a pad as a spacer. But I didn't like the way it would pull apart and get dirty. So I tried using a pipe screen instead (somebody here suggested it, I wish I remembered who...).
Just cut a wedge out of a pipe screen, like a pie slice. Draw the 2 edges together to form a cone, and push it in the oven as your spacer. I found this much easier to use and keep clean.
Have you ever tried this?
A standard pipe screen is wider than the diameter of the Crafty oven. By cutting a wedge out (so the remainder looks like pac man) and pulling the ends together reduces its diameter to better fit the oven.@Mr. Me2 can you elaborate on the pie shaped screen?
