Crafty+

Storz & Bickel Crafty+ Vaporizer

The Storz & Bickel Crafty+ is a premium portable dry herb vaporizer that brings the renowned heating technology of the Mighty range into a smaller, lighter and more pocket-friendly design. Engineered in Germany, the Crafty+ combines powerful hybrid heating, exceptional vapour quality and straightforward one-button operation for a consistently satisfying experience.

At the heart of the Crafty+ is Storz & Bickel's patented hybrid convection and conduction heating system. By combining heated airflow with direct oven heating, the Crafty+ delivers efficient extraction, excellent flavour and dense, consistent vapour without requiring a complicated inhalation technique.

The latest Crafty+ features a durable ceramic-coated filling chamber, an improved heating system and convenient USB-C charging. With a heat-up time of approximately 60 seconds, the device is ready for use without a lengthy wait.

Operating the Crafty+ couldn't be simpler. A single button controls three temperature levels: 180°C, 195°C and 210°C. For customers who prefer more precise control, Bluetooth connectivity and the Storz & Bickel Web App allow temperature adjustment between 40°C and 210°C.

Despite its powerful performance, the Crafty+ measures just 110mm tall and weighs approximately 135g, making it considerably easier to carry than the larger Mighty+.

A removable Cooling Unit, integrated mouthpiece, vibration feedback and compatibility with Storz & Bickel dosing capsules complete the package.

For customers seeking premium German engineering, outstanding vapour quality and uncomplicated operation in a compact portable vaporizer, the Crafty+ remains an excellent choice.

Patented Hybrid Heating – The Best of Convection and Conduction

The Crafty+ uses Storz & Bickel's patented hybrid heating technology, combining the benefits of convection and conduction.

This is the same fundamental heating approach that helped establish the Mighty range as a benchmark for portable vapour quality.

How Hybrid Heating Works

Convection heating uses heated air passing through the herbs to extract their aromatic compounds.

Conduction heating transfers heat through contact with the heated filling chamber.

By combining both methods, the Crafty+ delivers consistent extraction throughout a session.

Benefits of Hybrid Heating

Excellent flavour: Heated airflow helps preserve the natural aromatic characteristics of herbs.

Consistent vapour: The combination of heating methods supports reliable extraction.

Efficient performance: Heat reaches the herbs through both airflow and chamber contact.

Easy inhalation: The device performs well without requiring an especially demanding draw technique.

Reliable sessions: Maintains temperature throughout operation.

Is Hybrid Heating Better Than Convection?

That depends on your preferences.

Full convection vaporizers can be excellent for quick On-Demand extraction, while hybrid devices often provide particularly consistent session performance.

The Crafty+ is designed for customers who prefer reliable, full-bodied vapour with minimal effort.

For those seeking powerful On-Demand convection heating, the Tinymight 2 is an excellent alternative.

Ceramic-Coated Filling Chamber

The Crafty+ features a ceramic-coated filling chamber designed for durability, efficient heating and straightforward maintenance.

The chamber has an approximate volume of 1.4cm³.

Benefits of the Ceramic-Coated Oven

Consistent heating: Supports reliable extraction throughout a session.

Durable finish: Designed for regular use.

Straightforward cleaning: The accessible chamber can be brushed between sessions.

Dosing capsule compatibility: Accepts compatible Storz & Bickel capsules.

Practical capacity: Suitable for individual or shared sessions.

How Much Herb Does the Crafty+ Hold?

The exact amount depends on the grind consistency and packing density.

A typical full load is often around 0.15–0.25g, although the chamber's official specification is given by volume rather than a fixed gram capacity.

Avoid packing the chamber too tightly, as this can restrict airflow.

Does the Crafty+ Work with Smaller Loads?

Yes.

Storz & Bickel dosing capsules can help keep smaller quantities contained and simplify loading.

For very small loads, compatible chamber-reducing accessories may also be available separately.

Three Temperature Presets

One of the Crafty+'s biggest advantages is its simple temperature control.

Rather than navigating a complicated menu, you can select between three preset temperature levels using the single power button.

Standard Temperature – 180°C

The default temperature is 180°C (356°F).

This provides a balanced starting point for flavour and vapour production.

It is an excellent everyday setting for most customers.

Booster Temperature – 195°C

Double-press the power button to activate the Booster setting.

The default Booster temperature is 195°C (383°F).

This provides stronger heating and fuller extraction.

Super Booster Temperature – 210°C

Triple-press the power button from the standard temperature to activate Super Booster.

The default Super Booster temperature is 210°C (410°F).

This is the highest factory preset and is intended for more intensive extraction.

Which Temperature Should You Use?

We recommend beginning at 180°C to enjoy the initial flavour.

Increase to 195°C when you want fuller vapour.

Finish at 210°C if you prefer maximum extraction from the remaining material.

This simple progression makes the Crafty+ especially approachable for beginners.

Precision Temperature Control with the Web App

Although the Crafty+ has three temperature presets, it also supports precision adjustment through the Storz & Bickel Web App.

The Web App connects to the vaporizer using Bluetooth and allows compatible devices to access additional settings.

What Can the Web App Do?

Precision temperature control: Adjust the base temperature between 40°C and 210°C.

Preset customisation: Change the base setting and the common offset applied to Booster and Super Booster.

Battery information: Check the battery charge level.

Vibration settings: Adjust supported vibration notifications.

LED brightness: Customise the indicator light.

Operating information: View supported device information, including operating time.

Can You Adjust Each Preset Independently?

Not completely.

The Web App allows you to adjust the base temperature and a shared offset for the Booster and Super Booster settings.

The Booster and Super Booster temperatures cannot be programmed as three completely independent presets.

Do You Need the App to Use the Crafty+?

No.

The Crafty+ works perfectly well using its built-in button and factory temperature presets.

The Web App is an optional feature for customers who want additional control.

What About iPhone Compatibility?

Apple's restrictions on vaporizer apps mean that customers should not assume a conventional iOS app is available.

Storz & Bickel provides a browser-based Web App for supported devices and browsers.

Check the manufacturer's current compatibility instructions before purchasing specifically for Bluetooth functionality.

Approximately 60-Second Heat-Up

The Crafty+ reaches its default operating temperature in approximately 60 seconds under suitable conditions.

Actual heating time depends on battery charge, temperature selection and environmental conditions.

Why Heat-Up Time Matters

Convenient operation: Ready without an excessive wait.

Reliable performance: Predictable warm-up for everyday sessions.

Haptic feedback: The device vibrates when the selected temperature is reached.

Yes.

The Crafty+ introduced improvements to heating performance and efficiency compared with the original Crafty.

It also added more convenient charging and updated hardware.

However, it is not intended to compete with ultra-fast On-Demand vaporizers that heat in just a few seconds.

Integrated Cooling Unit – Smooth, Comfortable Vapour

One of the most important features of the Crafty+ is its integrated Cooling Unit.

Located at the top of the device, the Cooling Unit directs vapour through a specially designed pathway before it reaches the mouthpiece.

Why Is Cooling Important?

Vapour produced inside a compact heating chamber can be warm, particularly at higher temperatures.

The Cooling Unit helps manage vapour temperature during inhalation.

Benefits of the Cooling Unit

More comfortable vapour: Helps reduce heat before inhalation.

Consistent flavour: Supports a balanced vapour experience.

Integrated design: No external glass stem required.

Removable construction: Can be disassembled for cleaning.

Replaceable components: Cooling Units and mouthpieces are available separately.

Does the Crafty+ Use Water Filtration?

Not as standard.

The Cooling Unit works without water.

Compatible third-party water pipe accessories may be available, but these are not included in the standard package.

For customers who prioritise water filtration, the Arizer XQ2 or a compatible portable water pipe setup may be worth considering.

Simple One-Button Operation

The Crafty+ is designed around a single orange power button.

This makes it particularly easy to operate without navigating complicated menus.

How the Button Works

Power on: Press and hold the power button.

Standard temperature: The device heats to the base temperature.

Booster: Double-press the button.

Super Booster: Triple-press from the standard setting, or double-press while Booster is active.
