About this vaporizer

Storz & Bickel's original Crafty is the portable counterpart to the Mighty, using hybrid heating up to 210 °C with about 60 seconds of warm-up. The 2900 mAh battery and Bluetooth app let you tailor two temperature presets from your phone while the device stays pocketable.

Its cooling unit and spiral vapor path keep draws smooth, and the included dosing capsule caddy plus water pipe adapter make it easy to preload bowls or pair with glass. The Crafty still supports the S&B app ecosystem for firmware updates and vibration alerts.

Choose the Crafty if you prefer Storz & Bickel vapor density but want a smaller form than the Mighty, accepting that the original model charges via micro-USB and has a shorter runtime than the Crafty+. Regular cleaning of the cooling unit is essential to keep airflow open.

Key Facts — Storz & Bickel Crafty Portable · Heating: Hybrid · Heat-up: 60s · Battery: 2900 mAh · Weight: 135g · From: €232 · Shops: 3

The Crafty from Storz & Bickel was the German manufacturer from Tuttlingen's first portable vaporizer. With its hybrid heating system combining convection and conduction, it brought the vapour quality of the large desktop units into a compact, handy format. Operation on the device itself is limited to a single button -- the Storz & Bickel app is required for precise temperature control up to 210 °C.

The 2900-mAh battery enables multiple sessions, and thanks to pass-through charging the device can continue to be used while charging. With dosing capsules, the ceramic chamber stays clean and dosing is simplified. At present, 6 shops list the Crafty in the price comparison -- as the predecessor to the Crafty+, it is occasionally still available at reduced prices.

Hybrid Heating: Storz & Bickel Quality in Pocket Format

The Crafty uses the same hybrid heating technology that Storz & Bickel perfected in its desktop devices. The ceramic chamber is brought up to temperature through contact heat (conduction), while hot air (convection) additionally flows through the material as you inhale. The result: even extraction throughout the entire chamber filling.

Compared with purely conductive portables, the Crafty produces noticeably denser clouds of vapour, especially in the first draws of a session. The convection component ensures that material in the middle of the chamber is also heated evenly -- a problem many cheaper devices have.

When it launched, the Crafty's vapour quality was regarded as a benchmark in the portable segment. Even today, with the Crafty+ and the Venty having taken over, the vapour performance of the original Crafty remains convincing. Anyone who finds a used or discounted Crafty gets Storz & Bickel quality at an attractive price.

Research context: A study in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Hazekamp et al., 2006) showed that vaporisation at controlled temperatures releases over 95 % of the desired active compounds while largely avoiding combustion by-products. Source: PubMed 16637053

App Control and One-Button Operation

There is only one button on the device itself. One press starts heating to the temperature set in the app. A double-click activates Boost mode, which increases the temperature by around 15 °C -- useful towards the end of a session when the material is nearly spent.

For precise temperature control, the Storz & Bickel app (iOS and Android) is required. The app allows the temperature to be set to the exact degree between 40 and 210 °C. In addition, the app shows the battery charge level, the current chamber temperature and the remaining operating time.

The lack of a display on the device itself was a deliberate design decision: it keeps the device compact and saves battery power. In day-to-day use, you set the temperature once and rarely change it. The app also offers serial number registration for warranty claims.

Recommended temperature ranges:

Range	Temperature	Effect
Low	160-175 °C	Terpenes, light vapour, clear-headed effect
Medium	176-195 °C	Balanced, dense vapour
High	196-210 °C	Maximum extraction, strong vapour

Dosing Capsules: Cleanliness and Quick Swaps

The Crafty is compatible with Storz & Bickel's dosing capsule system. The small stainless steel capsules are filled in advance and can be swapped out in seconds while on the go. The ceramic chamber stays almost clean because the material has no direct contact with the chamber walls.

A capsule caddy (8 capsules) can be carried conveniently in a trouser pocket. The system is identical to that of the Mighty, Mighty+, Crafty+ and Venty -- accessories are cross-compatible.

Advantages of the dosing capsules:

Hygiene: Chamber stays clean, less cleaning required
Dosing: Each capsule holds approx. 0,15 g -- consistent fill quantity
Speed: Changing a capsule takes under 10 seconds
Out and about: Take several prepared capsules in the caddy

The capsules can be cleaned in isopropanol and reused. A set of 40 capsules lasts several months with regular cleaning.

Battery, Charging Time and Pass-Through Charging

The built-in 2900-mAh lithium-ion battery provides around 45-60 minutes of operating time, depending on temperature and draw intensity. At a medium temperature (180 °C), experience shows that 4-5 sessions of 8-10 minutes each are possible before the battery is empty.

Charging is via Micro-USB. A full charge takes around 2 hours. One major advantage over many competitors: the Crafty supports pass-through charging. This means the device can be used normally while charging -- practical for longer sessions at home.

The battery is built in and cannot be replaced by the user. If battery performance drops after 1-2 years, Storz & Bickel offers a replacement service. Alternatively, thanks to pass-through charging, the device can be operated permanently on the charging cable.

Battery life comparison within the S&B range:

Device	Battery	Runtime	Pass-through
Crafty	2900 mAh	45-60 Min	Yes
Crafty+	3300 mAh	60+ Min	Yes
Mighty	2 x 2600 mAh	90+ Min	Yes
Venty	3000 mAh	40+ Min	Yes

Compact Design and Build Quality

At around 135 grams in weight and dimensions of roughly 11 x 5,7 x 3,3 cm, the Crafty is one of the most compact devices from Storz & Bickel. It fits easily into a jacket pocket and feels good in the hand thanks to its rounded shape.

The housing is made from heat-resistant plastic (PEEK and largely medical-grade materials). The cooling unit at the top can be removed for cleaning -- a typical Storz & Bickel feature that makes maintenance easier. The vapour path runs through a spiral-shaped cooling unit that brings the vapour to a pleasant temperature before inhalation.

The workmanship is high quality for a portable vaporizer. No rattling parts, precise panel gaps, robust materials. The Crafty was developed in Tuttlingen (Germany) and produced there -- Made in Germany with medical precision.

Included in the box: Crafty device, charging cable (Micro-USB), dosing capsules set, cleaning brush, replacement screens and user manual.

Crafty vs. Crafty+: Differences and Price Comparison

The Crafty+ is the direct successor to the original Crafty and brings several improvements:

Feature	Crafty (Original)	Crafty+
Battery	2900 mAh	3300 mAh (+14%)
Charging port	Micro-USB	USB-C
Heat-up time	~60 seconds	~60 seconds
Temperature range	Up to 210 °C	Up to 210 °C
Display	None	None
Dosing capsules	Yes	Yes

The core functionality remains identical: same heater, same vapour quality, same dosing capsule system. The Crafty+ has the larger battery and the more modern USB-C port -- but for users looking for an affordable Storz & Bickel device, the original Crafty is still a good choice.

The Crafty is still occasionally offered by individual retailers at reduced prices. With 6 shops in the price comparison on vapochecker.com, it is worth checking the current price situation. Remaining stock is often 20-30% cheaper than the new price of the Crafty+.
