It is a best seller because it brings the same vapour quality of the iconic Volcano but in small size and portable form. It provides a seamless blend of flavours, cloud formation and durable engineering that appeals to both beginners and habitual consumers.
It is considered one of the best portable vaporizers in the market because of hybrid heating, the built-in cooling unit, very light weight and small, upgraded model features a durable, nonstick ceramic bowl that heats evenly, a dosing capsule system and one button control system with three preset temperatures and Bluetooth connectivity.
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.

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

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.

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.
