Crafty+ Review 2026: S&B’s Pocket-Sized Vaporizer

The Compact S&B

The Crafty+ is the Mighty+’s little brother. Same hybrid heating, same dosing capsules, same S&B promise — but in a housing that fits any pants pocket. 135 grams instead of 242. The trade-off: you need the smartphone app for precise temperature control.

From 114 across 40+ shops. Cheaper than the Mighty+ and Venty, more compact than both. The question: how much S&B experience fits into this small package?

Design and Portability

The Crafty+ is pocket-friendly. It disappears into a jacket pocket without creating a bulge. Build quality is solid, typical S&B. A single button controls the device: power on and go. No display, no extra buttons.

Without the app, you get a default temperature (180°C) and a boost mode (195°C). Everything else requires the S&B Companion App via Bluetooth. That’s the Crafty+’s biggest compromise: app dependency. If you don’t want your phone involved while vaping, the Mighty+ is the better choice.

Vapor Quality

Same hybrid heating as the Mighty+ and Venty. Heat-up takes around 60 seconds. Vapor is dense, clean, and flavorful. The cooling system is more compact than the Mighty+’s but works surprisingly well for the size.

Flavor is typical S&B: balanced, warm, with good terpene retention at 180-195°C. At higher temperatures, the Crafty+ produces dense clouds, but the smaller cooling system makes the vapor warmer than the Mighty+. Water pipe use compensates for this.

Battery: The Real Weakness

3200 mAh sounds reasonable but delivers only 45-60 minutes of use. No passthrough charging — you can’t vape while the device charges. That’s the biggest disadvantage versus the Mighty+ and Venty. USB-C fills it in about 90 minutes.

For 3-4 short sessions per day, the battery suffices. For evenings with friends, you’ll need a mid-session charge. The battery is not removable.

Dosing Capsules and Cleaning

Full compatibility with the S&B capsule system. The 8-capsule magazine fits perfectly. Cleaning follows the same routine as the Mighty+: capsules recommended for a clean chamber, cooling unit periodically in isopropyl alcohol.

How Does the Crafty+ Compare to Other S&B Portables?

The Crafty+ wins on compactness and price. The Mighty+ wins on battery and cooling. The Venty wins on speed. The PAX Plus wins on weight but lacks hybrid heating. For detailed comparisons see Mighty+ vs Crafty+.

Who Should Buy the Crafty+?

S&B fans who want maximum portability. Users comfortable with app control. Mighty+ owners looking for a compact second device for on-the-go use.

NOT for: app skeptics (only 2 temperatures without the app), heavy users (battery too small), users who need passthrough charging.

Current best price: 114

Verdict

The Crafty+ delivers 90% of the Mighty+ vapor quality in half the size. The trade-offs: less battery, no passthrough charging, app dependency. For users who want S&B quality in their pocket, it’s the first choice. From 114 — the cheapest entry into the S&B world.
