Crafty Plus Vaporizer Review – First Impressions

It comes in a cardboard box. Inside there is a device, a USB Type-C cable, a cleaning brush and a plastic bag filled with dosing capsules, a warranty card and a user manual.

The size of the device is 4.4” *2.3”. It weighs around just 120 gm (4.2oz). It is made of medical grade plastic, making it sturdy yet light weight. It has an ergonomic shape and provides a reliable and heat-resistant grip, so it won’t slip out of your hands.

The use is very straightforward. The whole process, from sterilization to the first session, takes just a few minutes. For sterilization, press the orange power button, wait for the light to turn green which usually takes 60 seconds, and let it run empty for 10-15 minutes. To customise base and boost temperatures it can be connected to the Storz and Buckle App through Bluetooth.

Pros

  • It is a highly portable dry herb vaporizer.
  • It provides excellent vapour quality and has hybrid heating same as other vaporizers of the brand but in a small and lightweight design.
  • It features a modern USB-C charger, allowing you to charge the device with power banks on the go.
  • It is very easy to maintain, as the cooling unit is straightforward to disassemble and other parts like the screen and seals are easily replaceable.
  • It has a dosing capsule system, which keeps the chamber clean and makes loading herbs simple.
  • It has super boost mode, which instantly takes the device to maximum temperature (210 degrees Celsius).

Cons

  • Due to the compact size, the battery is also small and a power bank is required.
  • The battery is non-replaceable, so when the battery degrades either it should be sent to Storz and Buckel for paid replacement or a new device.
  • It doesn’t have an LED screen so to adjust precise temperatures, the use of Storz and Buckel’s application is mandatory.
  • It sits at a high price point.
  • It takes 60-80 seconds to reach the desired temperature which is slower than modern vaporizers.

Design And Build Quality

It has an ergonomic shape which provides a reliable and heat-resistant grip, so it won’t slip out of your hands. Because of its small size it can be easily fit into a pocket. It is built from medical grade plastic.

For first time use, sterilization is necessary. Press the orange power button, wait for the light to turn green which usually takes 60 seconds, let it run empty for 10-15 minutes. For easier cleaning and on-the-go use, prefilled capsules can be used. The use of the device is very simple. The whole process, from sterilization to the first session, takes just a few minutes. It has boost and super boost modes. To switch from basic to boost just double tap the power button and the temperature goes from 15 degrees Celsius to 195 degrees Celsius. And triple press to reach the device’s maximum temperature (210 degrees Celsius).        

Vapor Quality

Because it uses a hybrid heating system, it perfectly preserves and extracts terpenes. As the device has an open airflow system, it is not required to pull hard, which keeps the throat relaxed. As the top piece forces the vapor to travel through a winding pathway, this cools the air down significantly before it reaches the mouthpiece.

The Craft Plus produces thick, flavourful clouds. The vapor density is above average.

At low temperature sessions, it provides a light, smooth and highly flavourful vapor.

At medium temperature, it provides a balanced flavour and visible vapor density.

At high temperatures, it produces thick, robust and heavier vapours.                                

Battery Life & Charging

It features a 2800 mAh Lithium-Ion battery. A full charge provides 45-60 minutes of continuous use. Which means roughly 4-8 sessions depend upon temperature. It takes 2-2.5 hours to fully charge.  The device can be used while plugged in, but it usually requires about 20 minutes of charging before turning on if the battery is completely drained.

Chamber Size and Efficiency

It has a ceramic-coated filling chamber that holds approximately 0.25g of ground herb. It can be with as little as 0.15g if used with the provided liquid. Storz & Bickel’s reusable dosing capsules can also be used.

Cleaning and Maintenance

It is advised to brush the oven and screen immediately after use. Do not leave spent herbs in the container. Keep Crafty performing optimally by brushing the oven and screen immediately after every session. For a deep clean, disassemble the Cooling Unit while it is warm and soak all plastic/metal parts in 99% isopropyl alcohol for no more than 30 minutes. Deep clean the device after every 10-15 sessions.
