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.

This was the first vape I ever owned. The quality of the vapor is amazing and I would have rated it 5/5 hands down if it weren’t for the battery life.
The battery lasted through about 70-80 hours use the first time. Then it stopped working and the awesome guys and gals here at city vaporizers changed it over for me with no fuss. It was great having it back but sadly this time it didn’t even make it to the 50 hour mark.
If you don’t mind owning a unit that could just conk out on you at any moment go for it, The vapor quality is insanely good.
If you’re worried about battery life and life expectancy of the unit itself I’d suggest going for the mighty instead since the reviews all point to it having a much better chance of making it over 100hrs use on the one unit.

Overall excellent experience and products.
Oliver K –
Works well, just charge doesn’t last tat long. Maybe 8-10 hits

Bought this vaporizer a few months ago and I’ve been very happy with it the entire time until today when it decided to stop working. Got the infamous red and orange flashing error. The unit won’t heat up on the rare event the red and orange flashing disappears. Good quality vapour but you’d expect better durability from a vape that costs $400+.

If you want big clouds with out being plugged in to a wall then Crafty will do this no problem. I also have a volcano and would say this crafty gives it a good run. Would be nice if the battery lasted a little longer but it is a great size so thats the trade off.
Miguel C –
Love the crafty!! Vapour quality is superb (pretty much just as good as the plenty). The only downside I have is the battery life. Can only vape about 3 loads when using the booster setting, which I have set to around 206C. Previously read that you can get 4 vape cycles out of it, but not with mine. Portable battery makes that problem go away, but then it’s not so portable. The mighty would probably be a better option if you plan to be away from some sort of charger for more than 3 vape loads.

Very happy with the product, would highly recommend the Crafty to newbies or big smokers looking for a healthy change.
