Who is the Crafty+ Vaporizer for?
The Crafty+ is the compact portable vaporizer from Storz & Bickel, the German makers of the Volcano. It delivers the same vapour quality as the larger Mighty+ from a body that disappears into a pocket. Even in 2026 it is still consistently rated among the best portable vaporizers available.
The single button makes it a natural first vape, and it is forgiving about grind, fill level, and draw technique. The battery covers 4 to 6 sessions per charge, which suits people who charge overnight more than heavy all-day users. For relaxed, flavour-focused sessions at home or away, the Crafty+ has few equals at this size.
Small, Light, and Built to Last
The Crafty+ weighs 135 g and is about half the size of the Mighty+. It sits comfortably in the palm and slips into a jeans or jacket pocket without a bulge.
The housing is made of PEEK, a medical-grade plastic that resists heat and carries no taste or smell. The mouthpiece swivels flat against the body for transport, and the whole vape is made in Germany.
A clever tool hides in the base. One end tamps herbs into the chamber, the other scrapes it empty, and the tool itself covers the charging port to keep pocket lint out.
Hybrid Heating for Full Flavour
The Crafty+ uses S&B's patented hybrid heating, a mix of convection and conduction. It works like cooking with both an oven and a pan at once: hot air flows through the herbs while the warm chamber walls heat them directly.
The hot air does the early work and brings out flavour, then the contact heat builds in to finish the extraction. Used herbs come out evenly golden brown, with no stirring needed along the way.
From a single button press, the vape is ready in about a minute. That pace suits relaxed sessions of ten minutes or so, not single quick puffs.
Smooth Vapour from Five Cooling Ridges
Between the chamber and the mouthpiece sits the signature cooling unit. Five internal ridges lengthen the vapour path and add surface area, so the vapour loses heat before it reaches your mouth.
The result is smooth, comfortable vapour with flavour closer to a desktop vaporizer than a pocket vape. Even at higher temperatures, the vapour stays gentle on the throat.
Airflow is rated at 10 L/min with very low draw resistance, so the vapour comes with almost no effort. That makes the Crafty+ a strong choice for anyone with limited lung power.
Three Temperatures from One Button
A single press switches the Crafty+ on and heats it to the base temperature of 180°C. The LED glows red while heating and turns green at temperature, and the vape vibrates the moment it is ready. The vibration also makes the Crafty+ easy to use for anyone with impaired vision.
A double click activates the Booster, which raises the target by 15°C to 195°C. Another double click adds the Superbooster at 210°C, the top of the range.
Lower temperatures around 180°C preserve lighter compounds and terpenes. Higher temperatures around 210°C extract more material in fewer draws, which is why many owners start low and step up as the flavour fades.
A Web App You Set Up Once
The Crafty+ connects over Bluetooth to the free S&B Web App, which runs in a browser with no download needed. The app sets any exact temperature between 40 and 210°C, adjusts the Booster steps, and controls settings like LED brightness, vibration, and auto shut-off.
The vape works fully without the app. The three presets cover daily use, and many owners open the app once to set their preferences and rarely return.
One setup tip: the serial number needed for pairing hides under the QR sticker on the base. Once connected, it is worth switching off permanent Bluetooth in the app, as leaving it on drains the battery faster.
Chamber, Capsules, and Loading
The ceramic-coated chamber holds about 0.25 g of ground herbs, the same capacity as the Mighty+. The coating keeps residue from sticking, so the chamber stays clean session after session. Partial loads work fine; the Crafty+ is forgiving about grind and fill level.
Dosing capsules make loading even easier. These small aluminium cups hold about 0.15 g each; you fill them at home, drop one into the chamber, and swap it for a new one after the session. One capsule is included in the box, and the same capsules work across the full Storz & Bickel range.
You can expand the capsule setup with a magazine that carries eight filled capsules, a keychain capsule caddy, and a filling kit that loads 40 capsules in one sitting. All are sold separately.
How to Use the Crafty+
With the parts covered, a full session looks like this:
- Loading: Grind your herbs to a medium consistency and fill the chamber, or drop in a pre-filled dosing capsule. The tool in the base tamps everything level.
- Heating: Press the button once. The LED glows red, and after about a minute it turns green and the vape vibrates.
- Inhaling: Take slow draws of 5 to 8 seconds through the swivel mouthpiece. A brief flick back to red during the first draws is normal while the chamber settles.
- Boosting: When the flavour starts to fade, double click for the Booster at 195°C. Double click again for the Superbooster at 210°C to finish the load.
- Finishing: Hold the button for about a second to switch off; an automatic shut-off also steps in if you forget. Empty the chamber while it is still warm, using the scraper end of the base tool.
Battery and Charging
Inside sits a sealed 3,300 mAh lithium-ion battery, good for 4 to 6 sessions per charge or roughly 45 to 60 minutes of running time. The battery is built in and not replaceable. Charging once a day covers most usage patterns, much like a phone.
Charging happens through the USB-C port in the base, so the Crafty+ charges from any phone cable or power bank. The box includes a USB-A to USB-C cable but no wall adapter. The vape runs while plugged in, though the battery does not charge during use.
You can add a fast charger to reach about 80% in roughly 40 minutes; a standard charger takes 60 to 90 minutes. The fast charger has a USB-C output, so it needs a USB-C to USB-C cable, which is not included with the vape or the charger.
Cleaning Takes Minutes
Day-to-day care is quick: brush out the chamber after sessions, and the ceramic coating does the rest. If you use dosing capsules, the chamber barely needs cleaning at all.
The cooling unit needs a deeper clean every few weeks. It slides apart via a small lock, and the plastic parts soak clean in isopropyl alcohol. The silicone rings should be washed in warm soapy water and kept out of the alcohol.
The gaps between the body fins collect a little herb dust over time, so give them an occasional pass with the brush.
Many owners keep a spare cooling unit so a clean one is always fitted while the other soaks. The Wear & Tear Set, sold separately, renews every wear part in one purchase.
Crafty+ vs Veazy
The Veazy is the newest compact portable from Storz & Bickel, sold at a similar price to the Crafty+. It represents the brand's latest thinking on small vaporizers and shares the same dosing capsules and accessory sets.
The Crafty+ answers with a decade of proven performance. The design has been refined since 2014, and its extensive range of spare parts and accessories keeps it in use for years.
The Veazy appeals to anyone who wants the newest design; the Crafty+ is the time-tested classic with a track record few portables can show.
Crafty+ vs Mighty+
The Mighty+ is the Crafty+'s larger counterpart and S&B's flagship portable. It carries two battery cells for roughly double the sessions per charge, an on-vape display with temperature buttons, and full pass-through charging.
The Crafty+ delivers the same vapour quality at about half the size and 135 g. The chamber capacity is identical at 0.25 g, the heating system is the same, and both use the same dosing capsules.
Battery stamina and on-vape controls favour the Mighty+; pocket carry favours the Crafty+. If most of your sessions happen away from home, the smaller body wins.
Recommended Accessories
Right now we offer a 25% discount on all accessories when you buy any vaporizer here at MagicVaporizers. These are the add-ons we would pick for the Crafty+, starting with the ones that fill the gaps in the box.
USB-C Fast Charger (45W): The box includes a cable but no wall adapter; this charger fills that gap and brings the battery to about 80% in roughly 40 minutes. It needs a separate USB-C to USB-C cable, not included with the vape or the charger.
Crafty+ Case: Carry a loaded Crafty+ in a padded, smell-proof case that keeps odours contained during transport.
Magazine with 8 Dosing Capsules: Pre-fill eight sessions at home and swap capsules without repacking.
Capsule Caddy with 4 Dosing Capsules: Clips to a keyring and carries four filled capsules in an odour-proof, waterproof shell.
Dosing Capsules (40-pack): 40 more reusable capsules to expand your pre-loaded rotation.
Kit for Filling Dosing Capsules including 48 Capsules: Fill 40 capsules in one sitting with the tray, grinder, plunger, and spatula.
Plunger for Dosing Capsules: Opens and closes capsule lids cleanly, without the bending that happens by hand.
Filling Funnel: Screws onto the filling chamber so ground herbs slide straight in with no spills.
Water Pipe Adapter with Bubbler: Run the Crafty+ through water for cooler, gentler draws at higher temperatures.
Accessory Set: Adds the grinder and filling aid the box leaves out, plus screens, a brush, and a capsule caddy.
Cooling Unit: Keep a second one so a clean unit is always fitted while the other soaks.
Mouthpieces (4-pack): Four spares so everyone in a shared session can fit their own.
Small Screens (6-pack): New screens open the airflow and bring back a cleaner taste once the old ones darken.
Seal Ring Set: Eleven new silicone rings restore an airtight draw when the originals compress from heat.
Wear & Tear Set: Renews the cooling unit, mouthpieces, screens, and tools in one go.
