@9.Fingers I own both the Crafty and Fury 2 and here is a quick comparison (my opinion).
The Crafty: it takes well over 2 minutes to heat up. I rarely get any clouds unless it is over 385 F. Once it hits temperature, I need to give it an additional 20-30 seconds before drawing. The first two draws taste great. After that, the taste quickly deteriorates. If I go back for another session later, the flavor is downright terrible, but I can still get extraction when I bump it all the way up. If I use the concentration pad on top of flowers, I get extremely medicated. Without it, I get a nice high. In between draws, you can see vapor coming out of the mp which is probably the reason I find that it isn’t very efficient with flowers — a lot gets wasted in between draws. However, the vapor is cool and doesn’t cause me to cough at all. I rarely use the app... I set it it 385 F and then boost up to 420.
Fury 2: It heats up in about 20 seconds. I can start at 365F and get clouds right away without waiting any additional time. The taste is good. Not outstanding, but definitely decent. The taste never gets terrible, even when I go back later for another session. Don’t get me wrong, it gets worse with every draw, but never as bad as I feel the Crafty does. I usually can get 2 1/2 sessions out of one bowl (not with glass mp). I feel like it is much, much more efficient with my flowers. I never see vapor coming out of my mouthpiece in between hits. I get nicely medicated with it. Not as much as when I use concentration pad with Crafty, but as much as when I use Crafty without it. The vapor is slightly, very slightly harsher than with Crafty. But nothing that should scare away anyone. It never really gets hot, but I will occasionally cough a bit.
Battery life is very similar (I have an old Crafty), size is similar enough (but Fury is smaller)
Bottom line, if I had gotten the Fury 2 first, I probably wouldn’t bother with the Crafty (well, I do have a severe case of VAS, so that may not be completely accurate)!
I’ve had it since it was released, so far performance has been consistent - time will tell about its longevity. But as of today, I highly recommend it.
