Crafty+ vs Mighty+: Which Storz & Bickel Vaporizer Is Right for You?
Summary: Both come from Storz & Bickel and use the same hybrid heating system. The Crafty+ (from ~€114, 65 shops) is compact, light and fits in any pocket. The Mighty+ (from ~€143, 67 shops) offers double the battery life, an OLED display and passthrough charging. Vapor quality is nearly identical — the real difference comes down to portability, battery and price.

Size and Portability
The Crafty+ is noticeably smaller and lighter. At 135 grams, it slips into a jacket or trouser pocket without any trouble. For walks, parks or traveling, it is the better pick. You barely notice you are carrying it.
The Mighty+ weighs 247 grams — nearly double. It still fits in a jacket pocket, but it is not what most people would call discreet. At home or in a backpack, that is perfectly fine. But if you want to carry your vaporizer in your jeans pocket every day, the Crafty+ wins hands down.
Battery Life
This is where the biggest gap shows up. The Mighty+ packs a ~2600 mAh battery and delivers 8 to 10 sessions per charge. That easily covers a full day. On top of that, it supports passthrough charging — you can vape while it is plugged in, so the battery never truly dies.
The Crafty+ has ~1300 mAh and gets 4 to 5 sessions. Enough for an afternoon, but not a whole day. There is no passthrough charging either, so you have to wait for it to recharge. If you vape frequently while out and about, keep a power bank in mind.
Display and Controls
The Mighty+ features an OLED display that shows current and target temperature. Two buttons on the device let you adjust everything. No app needed, no smartphone, no Bluetooth. Turn it on and go.
The Crafty+ has no display — just an LED that uses colors to show status (green = ready, red = heating). Temperature adjustment works through the app or a double-click for boost mode. It works, but it is less intuitive than a real screen. Without the app, you are limited to two preset temperature levels.
Vapor Quality
Good news here: both use the same hybrid heating system combining conduction and convection. Flavor is excellent on both — clean, terpene-rich and even. Storz & Bickel refined this heater over many years, and it shows.
One small difference: the Mighty+’s larger chamber (~0.25 g vs. ~0.15 g) produces slightly more vapor per session. If you enjoy shared sessions or simply want bigger clouds, that matters. For solo use, the smaller Crafty+ chamber is perfectly sufficient. Dosing capsules work identically in both devices.
Price
The Crafty+ currently starts at around €114, making it roughly half the price of the Mighty+ (from ~€143). For a Storz & Bickel vaporizer with hybrid heating, that is a strong entry price. If maximum portability is your priority and shorter battery life is acceptable, the Crafty+ gives you more value per euro.
The Mighty+ justifies the extra cost with longer battery life, passthrough charging and the OLED display. If you use the device daily and heavily, the price difference pays off quickly. Cost per session is negligible for both.
Who Should Buy Which?

- Your budget is under €150
- You mostly vape solo and 4–5 sessions per charge is enough
Buy the Mighty+ if:
- Battery life and endurance come first
- You want all-day use without recharging
- An on-device display matters to you — no app dependency
- You regularly vape with a partner or in groups
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the vapor really the same on both?
Yes, the heating system is identical. Both use Storz & Bickel hybrid heating with conduction and convection. The only difference: the Mighty+ chamber holds slightly more material (~0.25 g vs. ~0.15 g), producing a bit more vapor per draw.
Is the Mighty+ upgrade worth it?
For daily users — yes. Double the battery life, passthrough charging and the OLED display make everyday use noticeably more convenient. For occasional users, the Crafty+ does everything you need.
Do both work with dosing capsules?
Yes, both are compatible with Storz & Bickel dosing capsules. The capsules keep the chamber clean and make reloading on the go simpler. An 8-pack costs around €10.
Which one is better for beginners?
Both are beginner-friendly, but the Mighty+ is a touch easier. The display shows the temperature directly, and you do not need an app. With the Crafty+, you either install the app or work with two preset temperature levels.
