Vapor Quality
Both use hybrid heating with slightly different results. The Crafty+ has a wider vapor path and delivers smooth, consistent vapor. The IQ3 uses a ceramic chamber with glass path for a more concentrated flavor. At low temps the IQ3 tastes fresher; the Crafty+ produces more consistently.
Size and Handling
Both fit in a pocket. The Crafty+ is lighter and has dosing capsules for clean, fast reloads on the go. The IQ3 offers Smart Paths (auto temperature curves) via app but has no capsule option.
Battery and Endurance
The Crafty+ has 3200 mAh, the IQ3 4000 mAh. The IQ3 has the larger battery but also a slightly longer heat-up. Both manage 4-6 full sessions in daily use. Neither has a swappable battery; both support passthrough charging.
Price and Ecosystem
Both sit in the mid-range around €200. The Crafty+ benefits from the massive S&B ecosystem: dosing capsules, charging docks, mouthpieces and WPA adapters are widely available. The IQ3 has less accessory support but a more capable app with Smart Paths.
Verdict
Crafty+ for simple sessions with dosing capsules and S&B quality. IQ3 for users who prefer precise app control and ceramic flavor.
