The Crafty is the improved version of the Crafty portable vaporizer.

These two vaporizers are the most ergonomic laptops of the leader Storz and Bickel.

With their hybrid convection and conduction heating system and their large and efficient steam production, these devices can be considered among the best!

Thus, one wonders how the new one differs from the old…

Here's our comparator/comparison for Crafty VS Crafty vaporizers!

This is not a test but only a comparison!

Crafty vs Crafty: Steam rendering

Both crafty and Crafty are equipped with the same hybrid conduction and convection heating system.

Thus, the steam rendering is identical between the two devices, always as sweet and aromatic with all the nuances of the plant.

In addition, the steam cooling unit is always present and helps to ensure a cooler and therefore more comfortable vapor to inhale.

We won't brag more about the rendering offered by Storz and Bickel vaporizers, we know that their reputation precedes them…

Note that the Crafty and its steam cooling unit are made with a new plastic that would better withstand heat inertia and thus contribute to a better cooling of the steam…

Crafty vs Crafty: Extraction Efficiency

As we said just above, these two Craftys are equipped with the same hybrid convection and conduction heating system.

Indeed, the sides of the bowl provide a part of heating by conduction, i.e. by direct contact, to the plants we wish to vaporize.

In addition, a portion of convection heating completes the extraction for greater efficiency.

Convection heating is when a stream of warm air passes through the plant to extract the active ingredients in the form of steam.

Thus, the air carried through the plants is previously heated through a spiral heating element located under the vaporization chamber of the plants.

It is therefore the user's inhalation that generates the heating by convection while the conduction heating generates continuous steam!

All this explains the efficiency of Crafty and Crafty, with their massive steam production and whose cooking of plants is always perfectly homogeneous.

Crafty vs Crafty: Temperature control and panel

Here too, no difference between our two vaporizers.

Indeed, we know that the Crafty and Crafty were developed with ergonomics for those who thought the Mighty was too big.

So, rather than being equipped with a screen with temperature display and two buttons to control it to the degree, Crafty and Crafty work with a Bluetooth-connected app.

So just have your phone at your fingertips to set the temperature of our vaporizer.

So it's a more ergonomic feature, but certainly less practical…

Nevertheless, two "boost" modes can increase the heating set by 15 degrees Celsius or directly reach 210 degrees Celsius!

Apple has removed all smartphone apps from its IOS platform, so the app is only available on Android.

Fortunately, Storz and Bickel has had its application carried on the web, making it usable on the iPhone via internet browser!

Crafty vs Crafty: Autonomy

The Crafty and crafty are both equipped with a single fixed battery, always for the sake of ergonomics.

It should be noted that the autonomy offered by the battery of the first Crafty was really mediocre, with only two or even difficultly three sessions of vaporization per load …

Unfortunately, this was not enough for most users, especially since it took up to 2:30 a.m. to recharge the battery!

On the other hand, the autonomy of the Crafty has been significantly increased to offer more freedom.

Thus, its battery can vaporize up to 5 doses of plants (counting wide… Allow 3 at full power) per charge.

In addition, the Crafty recharges in 1 hour and 30 hours which is much faster!

In both cases, it is possible to vaporize during the charge with 20 minutes in advance.

Crafty VS Crafty: Ergonomics

The Crafty and Crafty have the same dimensions and weight.

That is 11×5.7×3.3 cm for 135 grams!

In fact, you won't find a better efficiency/size ratio in the portable vaporization market.

It should be noted, however, that the Crafty's case has been revised.

Indeed, it is now designed with a new plastic component more heat resistant, but it has also been remodeled.

Thus, the heat radiation grooves are more aesthetic and make the grip even more enjoyable!

In summary

Crafty is not a new vaporizer, but an improvement to the Crafty vaporizer.

Indeed, the extraction system as well as the quality of steam and its rendering have not changed.

On the other hand, its autonomy has been revised upwards and its load time downwards, which is not to displease.

It must be admitted that the Crafty offered too mediocre and frustrating autonomy, with its charging time of more than two hours …

The new look of the Crafty gives it a good boost, just to remind the chalengers who is the boss!

Because we have to put the main forward, the steam …

And it's the Storz and Bickel vaporizers that's the best!
