Manual & datasheet
About this vaporizer
Storz & Bickel's original Crafty is the portable counterpart to the Mighty, using hybrid heating up to 210 °C with about 60 seconds of warm-up. The 2900 mAh battery and Bluetooth app let you tailor two temperature presets from your phone while the device stays pocketable.
Its cooling unit and spiral vapor path keep draws smooth, and the dosing capsule caddy plus water pipe adapter make it easy to preload bowls or pair with glass. The Crafty still supports the S&B app ecosystem for firmware updates and vibration alerts.
Choose the Crafty if you prefer Storz & Bickel vapor density but want a smaller form than the Mighty, accepting that the original model charges via micro-USB and has a shorter runtime than the Crafty+. Regular cleaning of the cooling unit is essential to keep airflow open.

Key Facts — Storz & Bickel Crafty
Portable · Heating: Hybrid · Battery: 2900 mAh · Weight: 134g · From: €327.01 · Shops: 1
The Crafty from Storz & Bickel was the German manufacturer from Tuttlingen's first portable vaporizer. With its hybrid heating system combining convection and conduction, it brought the vapor quality of the large desktop units into a compact, handy format. Operation on the device itself is limited to a single button -- the Storz & Bickel app is required for precise temperature control up to 210 °C.
The 2900-mAh battery enables multiple sessions, and thanks to pass-through charging the device can continue to be used while charging. With dosing capsules, the ceramic chamber stays clean and dosing is simplified. At present, 2 shops list the Crafty in the price comparison -- as the predecessor to the Crafty+, it is occasionally still available at reduced prices.

Hybrid Heating: Storz & Bickel Quality in Pocket Format
The Crafty uses the same hybrid heating technology that Storz & Bickel perfected in its desktop devices. The ceramic chamber is brought up to temperature through contact heat (conduction), while hot air (convection) additionally flows through the material as you inhale. The result: even extraction throughout the entire chamber filling.
Compared with purely conductive portables, the Crafty produces noticeably denser clouds of vapor, especially in the first draws of a session. The convection component ensures that material in the middle of the chamber is also heated evenly -- a problem many cheaper devices have.
When it launched, the Crafty's vapor quality was regarded as a benchmark in the portable segment. Even today, with the Crafty+ and the Venty having taken over, the vapor performance of the original Crafty remains convincing. Anyone who finds a used or discounted Crafty gets Storz & Bickel quality at an attractive price.
App Control and One-Button Operation
There is only one button on the device itself. One press starts heating to the temperature set in the app. A double-click activates Boost mode, which increases the temperature by around 15 °C -- useful towards the end of a session when the material is nearly spent.
For precise temperature control, the Storz & Bickel app (iOS and Android) is required. The app allows the temperature to be set to the exact degree between 40 and 210 °C. In addition, the app shows the battery charge level, the current chamber temperature and the remaining operating time.
The lack of a display on the device itself was a deliberate design decision: it keeps the device compact and saves battery power. In day-to-day use, you set the temperature once and rarely change it. The app also offers serial number registration for warranty claims.
Recommended temperature ranges:
| Range | Temperature | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 160-175 °C | Terpenes, light vapor, clear-headed effect |
| Medium | 176-195 °C | Balanced, dense vapor |
| High | 196-210 °C | Maximum extraction, strong vapor |
Dosing Capsules: Cleanliness and Quick Swaps
The Crafty is compatible with Storz & Bickel's dosing capsule system. The small stainless steel capsules are filled in advance and can be swapped out in seconds while on the go. The ceramic chamber stays almost clean because the material has no direct contact with the chamber walls.
A capsule caddy (8 capsules) can be carried conveniently in a trouser pocket. The system is identical to that of the Mighty, Mighty+, Crafty+ and Venty -- accessories are cross-compatible.
Advantages of the dosing capsules:
- Hygiene: Chamber stays clean, less cleaning required
- Dosing: Each capsule holds approx. 0.15 g -- consistent fill quantity
- Speed: Changing a capsule takes under 10 seconds
- Out and about: Take several prepared capsules in the caddy
The capsules can be cleaned in isopropanol and reused. A set of 40 capsules lasts several months with regular cleaning.
Battery, Charging Time and Pass-Through Charging
The built-in 2900-mAh lithium-ion battery provides around 45-60 minutes of operating time, depending on temperature and draw intensity. At a medium temperature (180 °C), experience shows that 4-5 sessions of 8-10 minutes each are possible before the battery is empty.
Charging is via Micro-USB. The available sources do not indicate a duration for a full battery charge. One major advantage over many competitors: the Crafty supports pass-through charging. This means the device can be used normally while charging -- practical for longer sessions at home.
The battery is built in and cannot be replaced by the user. If battery performance drops after 1-2 years, Storz & Bickel offers a replacement service. Alternatively, thanks to pass-through charging, the device can be operated permanently on the charging cable.
Battery life comparison within the S&B range:
| Device | Battery | Runtime | Pass-through |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crafty | 2900 mAh | 45-60 Min | Yes |
| Crafty+ | 3300 mAh | 60+ Min | Yes |
| Mighty | 2 x 2600 mAh | 90+ Min | Yes |
| Venty | 3000 mAh | 40+ Min | Yes |
Compact Design and Build Quality
At around 135 grams in weight and dimensions of roughly 11 x 5.7 x 3.3 cm, the Crafty is one of the most compact devices from Storz & Bickel. It fits easily into a jacket pocket and feels good in the hand thanks to its rounded shape.
The housing is made from heat-resistant plastic (PEEK and largely medical-grade materials). The cooling unit at the top can be removed for cleaning -- a typical Storz & Bickel feature that makes maintenance easier. The vapor path runs through a spiral-shaped cooling unit that brings the vapor to a pleasant temperature before inhalation.
The workmanship is high quality for a portable vaporizer. No rattling parts, precise panel gaps, robust materials. The Crafty was developed in Tuttlingen (Germany) and produced there -- Made in Germany with medical precision.

Crafty vs. Crafty+: Differences and Price Comparison
The Crafty+ is the direct successor to the original Crafty and brings several improvements:
| Feature | Crafty (Original) | Crafty+ |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 2900 mAh | 3300 mAh (+14%) |
| Charging port | Micro-USB | USB-C |
| Heat-up time | ~60 seconds | ~60 seconds |
| Temperature range | Up to 210 °C | Up to 210 °C |
| Display | None | None |
| Dosing capsules | Yes | Yes |
The core functionality remains identical: same heater, same vapor quality, same dosing capsule system. The Crafty+ has the larger battery and the more modern USB-C port -- but for users looking for an affordable Storz & Bickel device, the original Crafty is still a good choice.
The Crafty is still occasionally offered by individual retailers at reduced prices. With 6 shops in the price comparison on vapochecker.com, it is worth checking the current price situation. Remaining stock is often 20-30% cheaper than the new price of the Crafty+.

For precise temperature setting, yes. Without the app, the Crafty starts at the last temperature that was set, and Boost mode (double-click) increases it by approx. 15 °C. For full control, the Storz & Bickel app is recommended.
The Crafty has been officially discontinued and replaced by the Crafty+. Some retailers still have remaining stock, often at reduced prices. 6 shops currently list it in the price comparison.
Yes. The dosing capsule system is identical for the Crafty, Crafty+, Mighty, Mighty+, Venty, Volcano Hybrid and Plenty. All accessories are cross-compatible.

Yes. With a Water Pipe Adapter (WPA), the Crafty can be connected to standard bongs with a 14-mm or 18-mm joint. The adapter fits over the cooling unit.
Remove the cooling unit and soak it in isopropanol. Brush out the chamber with the brush. Replace the screens if they are clogged. If you use dosing capsules, cleaning is needed much less often.
For flavor-rich, light vapor: 160-175 °C. For balanced extraction: 176-195 °C. For maximum vapor production: 196-210 °C.
A double-click on the device button increases the temperature by approx. 15 °C above the set target temperature. Useful towards the end of a session to extract the remaining material.
The Mighty has two batteries (2 x 2600 mAh) for longer runtime and an integrated display for temperature control without the app. The Crafty is, in return, more compact and lighter (135 g vs. 230 g).
Storz & Bickel provides a 2-year manufacturer's warranty when registered via the app. As the Crafty has been discontinued, warranty processing may vary depending on the availability of spare parts.
