The Storz & Bickel Crafty Vaporizer: Power Meets Portability
Designed and produced by German company, Storz and Bickel(S&B), The Crafty Vaporizer, is The Mighty’s bang, without its hefty buck. Longstanding creators of the Volcano, it’s no shock that S&B is constantly adapting to customer concerns by creating and updating a solution. Compatible with flower and concentrate, S&B redefines diversity in the vaporizer market.
Cannabis bible High Times Magazine considers both The Crafty and Mighty as some of the best herbal vaporizers of 2018. S&B consistently challenges their competitors by raising the bar when it comes to what to expect out of your vape. Our personal added bonus is the S&B filling aid which makes for ease of use and helping to keep your device clean.
The latest update in 2018 saw The Crafty get a 20% battery upgrade. The Crafty even has an app which has multiple features including temp control and device location. Comparing in size with smaller, weaker vapes, The Crafty, matches the force of The Mighty, accompanied with 10°F boost option for an extra push.
The device operates simply via one button, in absolute spite of S&B’s complex inner workings to achieve their trademark thick and flavourful clouds. The name of the device speaks for itself in the way of providing you with a plethora of tools and replacement parts. Unlike some vaporizer companies, even more replacements and accessories can be purchased.

We consider The Crafty to be a handheld Volcano, with its overwhelming performance and pocketability. Utilizing the best of both worlds in combustion and convection heating, vapers find an even distribution in heat throughout their chamber and session. This even cooking of herb disables the need to stop your session, pop the top off, and mix the contents just to avoid combustion.

I find it works quite well for a personal vaporizer and is compact little unit that still packs a punch i highly recommend it i also use the dosing capsules as they keep the heat chamber clean

works great. easy to use. i haven’t had any issues. last long enough for a great session. do need to be mindful about charging it but it is a great product that really delivers. worth it because it is so portable, discrete and because it gets you LIT!

Excellent product, when used correctly at factory settings. Warranty replacement of first faulty unit was without question. It is good enough for me to have bought a second when my original failed. Yes, even with a failure I still bought another and I cycle between them. Overall, highly recommended. I particularly enjoy the minimal odour produced allowing discreet public use and the efficacy of the device is without complaint.
John W –
Works better than expected and I love that you don’t carry a smokey smell after using my Crafty. Have shared the experience with friends and family and they love it too. Tip, don’t pack herb too tightly so that air gets through. A worthwhile purchase!
Ben S –
Awesome vape, easy to use, really cools the vapor and packs a punch! I was looking into the mighty but it’s just too big for a portable vape so got this instead and glad I did fits well into your pocket and battery last about 5 decent sessions. I own a Pax2 and Mflb, this craps all over the pax2, I love the Mflb as it was my first vape but just wanted a top notch plug and play which the crafty does so well. Yes it’s expensive but let’s face it it’s a Storz and Bickel and made to a really high quality, glad I spent the extra. Works well with the app and it’s grrat to see the usage specs. If you’re on the wall with this do yourself a favor and just do it you won’t regret it!!

After a short learning curve, the Crafty is living up to the hype and price tag. Biggest drawback is the battery life, so if that’s a concern go with the Mighty b
