Crafty+
Crafty+ Overview
The Crafty+ is the smaller and slightly less expensive alternative to the Mighty+ that can still hold its own. From Storz & Bickel's legendary lineup (makers of the iconic Volcano Hybrid), this premium portable vaporizer provides USB-C charging, an optional app, excellent performance, and stands up to the high standards for which its sibling devices are known. It ranks among our best premium vaporizers despite being more compact than the Mighty+.

What changed on the USB-C version of the Crafty+?
Storz & Bickel list three updates over the earlier micro-USB model: a USB-C socket, charging that is 25 minutes faster, and a 1.4 cm³ ceramic coated filling chamber. The one-button control and the three preset temperatures carried over.
Can you use the Crafty+ while it is charging?
No. Storz & Bickel confirm there is no pass-through, and the device will not switch on at all while the USB-C cable is connected to power. An LED blinking red and green means the cable is unsuitable.
How do Booster and Superbooster work?
From the 180°C base setting, a double click of the orange power button raises the target to 195°C and a triple click goes to 210°C. Both are timed, dropping back to base 90 seconds after the higher temperature is reached.
Do you need the app to run the Crafty+?
No, the factory settings work on their own. The S&B Web App is a browser page rather than a store download, and it reaches the device over Bluetooth, so it needs Chrome or Edge on Windows, Chrome on Android, or Bluefy on iOS.
Why does my Crafty+ switch itself off so quickly?
Two minutes after the last button press or draw it powers down to protect the battery. A brief press of the power button restarts that countdown, and the Web App can extend it to five minutes.
Does registering a Crafty+ add a year of warranty?
No. Storz & Bickel add a year on registration for most of their range, but the Crafty+ is one of three models excluded, so it stays at two years. Wear parts such as the cooling unit, screens and dosing capsules are not covered.
Is there an official water pipe adapter for the Crafty+?
Storz & Bickel do not list one among the Crafty+ parts and accessories, so anything you find is third party and fits over the cooling unit in place of the flip-out mouthpiece. Our guide to dry herb vaping with a water pipe explains the trade-offs.
Crafty+ Cleaning & Maintenance
The Crafty+ holds about a quarter of a gram in its ceramic coated chamber, and every draw pushes that vapour up through a cooling unit with a long folded air path. Resin settles on the base screen and inside the cap long before the chamber looks dirty, so most of the work is on the cooling unit.
-
Take the cooling unit off: Turn the cooling unit base 90 degrees counterclockwise and lift it away from the vaporizer.
-
Strip the cap: Wiggle the mouthpiece free, lift out its seal ring with the filling chamber tool, then slide the cap lock back and pull it off. The cap lock carries the hologram and never goes into alcohol, which discolours it.
-
Split the halves: Press the oval button on top of the cap while pulling the cap and base apart. If it resists, refit it, heat the empty Crafty+ and draw a few times to soften the resin.
-
Free the screen and seal rings: Lever the large base seal ring out at the recess in the groove with the filling chamber tool, remove the small one, then push the screen down and out of the base.
-
Soak: Storz & Bickel allow warm rinsing water, or isopropyl alcohol for a maximum of half an hour. Leave the cap lock out, and the seal rings too: alcohol dries the rubber and they clean up in hot water.
-
Rinse and dry: Run every soaked part under water for at least a minute, then let it dry fully. Trapped moisture does more harm than the residue you just removed.
-
Chamber: Hold the device upside down, brush out the loose material, then wipe the walls with a cotton swab that is damp rather than wet. Alcohol running into the heater is the mistake that is hard to undo, so keep the lower body dry.
-
Reassemble and burn off: Screen into the base, seal rings in place, halves together, cap lock on, mouthpiece seal ring and mouthpiece last. Run a cycle or two at the 210°C ceiling until no alcohol smell remains.
Wear parts and frequency
Every two weeks suits most users, weekly if you run concentrate on the drip pads, monthly for light dry herb use. Storz & Bickel treat the small screens as consumables and suggest cleaning or replacing them every 20 to 25 loads, which is why the Crafty+ ships with three normal screens, three coarse screens and three base seal rings. The lower filling chamber screen comes out by pressing the chamber cylinder up out of its housing, then pushing the screen up out of the cylinder. Dosing capsules leave far less resin in the chamber, and they soak in isopropyl with the rest.
