After owning a Cricket for only a short time and daily use for about 10 days, the jury is still out for me. Lots of respected posters here love it, and I have a lot of things I like about it too; the flavor is top, it is solid and well-made, it is pretty small for travel. Also, while you wouldn't believe it in the size of the airpath, it provides decently cool hits for no water.
That being said, clean up is the biggest con for me.
I find it a messy vape to use. Even with a small amount of concentrate, there is a lot of splatter. Concentrate residue from a single session gets all over the inside of the cap and all around the outside of the tub. After even a single use, in order to keep it clean you need to soak a couple qtips and clean all these areas along with inside the tub itself. Other units I use, such as the Core 2, only need a single dry qtip to swab out the ceramic bucket and you're done. Other stealthy vapes for travel, like the Terp pen, also require very little clean up making portable use easier for me. The Cricket has the best flavor of all of them.
I can get about 5-6 sessions out of a full charge. YMMV
I would say if it's going hiking and in a pocket that will jostle around, you're gonna need to put a rubber band around it. The magnetic cap does not have the strongest attraction to the body and the cap can dislodge causing dust to get in the tub. I believe this can be rectified with a rubber band or a snug-fitting case if found.
