Mighty+ vs Crafty+: Which Storz & Bickel Is Right for You?

Storz & Bickel makes two portable vaporizers with the same hybrid heating system, the same temperature range, and the same ceramic-coated chamber. The Mighty+ is the larger device with an LC display and booster function. The Crafty+ is the compact companion controlled via web app. Same tech, different form factor – and roughly €70 price difference.

The core question is simple: Do you need a display and a larger body, or is app control in a device that weighs half as much enough? Both use the same chamber, both support dosing capsules, both deliver identical vapor. The difference comes down to battery, controls, and size.

Current prices: Mighty+ from ~€229 across 33 shops and Crafty+ from ~€159 across 37 shops.

Mighty+ – The Workhorse with a Display

The Mighty+ has been Storz & Bickel’s best-selling portable for years. At 242 grams and 8.0 × 14.0 × 3.0 cm, it is not lightweight, but it offers something the Crafty+ lacks: an LC display showing current and target temperature simultaneously.

Temperature adjusts directly on the device via two buttons in 1°C steps. No smartphone needed, no Bluetooth pairing. Power on, set temperature, wait for the vibration – done. The Booster raises temperature by 15°C with a double-click, perfect for the last draws of a session.

Dual lithium-ion cells deliver 3,300 mAh total, good for 6–8 sessions of roughly 10 minutes each. USB-C charges to 80% in about 40 minutes. Pass-through charging works: you can vape while plugged in. A real advantage for home sessions.

The cooling unit sits on top and cools vapor through a labyrinth of fins. Easy to clean: detach, soak in isopropyl alcohol, air dry. Warranty: 3 years (2 + 1 with registration).

Crafty+ – Compact and App-Controlled

The Crafty+ weighs just 135 grams – almost half the Mighty+. At 5.7 × 11.0 × 3.3 cm, it fits easily into any pocket. The PEEK housing is sturdy and feels premium.

The big difference: no display. Temperature is set through the Storz & Bickel web app. Without the app, you get one preset temperature Plus the booster (+15°C). The app provides 1°C steps across the full 40–210°C range, boost and superboost settings, and firmware updates via Bluetooth.

The single cell holds 3,500 mAh – slightly more than the Mighty+ on paper. In practice, it lasts 4–6 sessions because the smaller body is less thermally efficient. Important: no pass-through charging. You cannot use the Crafty+ while it charges. USB-C is on board; full charge takes about 90 minutes.

The cooling unit shares the same design as the Mighty+, just smaller. Dosing capsules fit both devices. Warranty: also 3 years (2 + 1 with registration).

Heating and Vapor Quality

Both devices use exactly the same patented hybrid heating system. Conduction through ceramic-coated chamber walls, convection through the heated airflow. The chamber is ceramic-coated stainless steel, 1.4 cm³ in both.

In a blind test, you will not tell the vapor apart. Same heater, same chamber, same cooling unit design (the Mighty+ has a slightly larger version). Vapor quality is top-tier in both.

The only difference: the Mighty+’s larger cooling unit cools vapor marginally better. During extended sessions at 200°C+, you may notice a slightly smoother draw. At typical temperatures (180–195°C), the difference is imperceptible.

Battery and Daily Use

The Mighty+ packs 3,300 mAh across two cells; the Crafty+ has 3,500 mAh in one cell. On paper, the Crafty+ has slightly more capacity – in practice, the Mighty+ lasts longer. It distributes the load across two cells and manages heat more efficiently. 6–8 sessions for the Mighty+ versus 4–6 for the Crafty+.

The key advantage of the Mighty+: pass-through charging. Vape while it charges. The Crafty+ cannot do that. For home use, that is a clear win. On the go, where pass-through is irrelevant, the advantage fades.

Charging speed favors the Mighty+: 40 minutes to 80% vs. 90 minutes to 100% for the Crafty+. Both use USB-C.

Weight clearly favors the Crafty+: 135 grams fits any pocket. The Mighty+’s 242 grams is noticeable. Fine for a desk or bag; tight jeans, not so much.

Controls: Display vs. App

This is the fundamental difference. The Mighty+ has an LC display and two buttons. Everything works without a smartphone. Set temperature, activate booster, check battery level – all on-device. No Bluetooth, no app, no firmware updates.

The Crafty+ has no display. Without the app, you get one preset temperature plus the booster (+15°C). That is enough for daily use once you have set your preferred temperature. For fine-tuning, you need the web app: set temperature to the degree, configure boost and superboost, update firmware.

If you like adjusting on-device, pick the Mighty+. If your phone is always handy and you value the Crafty+’s compact size, the app control will not feel like a compromise.

Which One Is Right for You?

The Mighty+ suits you better if display and battery life matter most. The Crafty+ is the right choice when weight and price are your priorities.

	Mighty+	Crafty+
Strengths	✅ LC display (no phone needed) ✅ Pass-through charging ✅ Longer battery (6–8 sessions) ✅ Faster charging (80% in 40 min) ✅ Larger cooling unit	✅ Just 135 g (nearly half the weight) ✅ Bluetooth + web app ✅ Cheaper (from ~€159) ✅ Firmware updates ✅ More compact for travel
Weaknesses	❌ 242 g, somewhat bulky ❌ No Bluetooth / no app ❌ No firmware updates ❌ Pricier (from ~€229)	❌ No display ❌ No pass-through charging ❌ Shorter battery (4–6 sessions) ❌ Slower charging (90 min)

Pick the Mighty+ if: You want a self-contained device with a display that works without a phone. If you prefer longer sessions, want pass-through charging at home, and do not mind the weight. The Mighty+ is the reliable workhorse.

Pick the Crafty+ if: Portability is your priority. If you always have your phone and see app control as a perk rather than a chore. For €70 less, you get the same vapor quality in a far lighter package. The Crafty+ is the on-the-go pick.
