Crafty+ vs Puffco Proxy

The biggest practical difference is heating approach: Crafty+ runs convection while Puffco Proxy runs conduction (3d chamber, heated ceramic side walls). That changes flavor delivery, vapor density, and how the device responds to slow versus fast draws.

Crafty+'s spec sheet lists ~60 minutes; the Puffco Proxy lists ~15 dabs per charge. The two manufacturers measure battery life differently here, so direct comparison isn't straightforward.

Crafty+ covers 40°C - 210°C (104°F - 410°F), a wider band than the Puffco Proxy at 254-285°C (490-545°F) across four presets, custom values in the Connect app. A wider range gives you more room to dial in flavor at the low end and big clouds at the top.
