What I saw on the Volcano Hybrid was very unimpressive. I read that because of that "thing" you put on the Volcano, that will be the successor to The Plenty. So the Plenty won't be around anymore. I read that on FC. Also when I had the Volcano Classic I already made a rig that made it whip style. Mine was better and it only cost a few dollars. and mine was glass and there looks like a plastic tube. No Thanks!
So I mention my dislike for the Hybrid Volcano. Because I am interested in hearing an indepth comparison.
I bought a Crafty+ this 4/20, they had a good deal on it on their site (~250USD).
I have it for the second day, so I can't really tell the whole picture, but the vapor taste is A+, vapor production is A+, easy of use is A+, consistency is A+.
The only downside is the battery, yesterday I had 6 bowls and there was some battery left, which seems good, but that goes down in time and by all the reviewers it lands on 4 bowls per charge. Which is the amount of dosing capsules you can put into the travel capsule caddy. I'll see.
This is my first Storz&Bickel product so I'm very impressed. I get that the expectations you guys had were let down, but this is the most user experience friendly vape I have.
Crafty + is a beast. I have a crafty+ and a mighty. I like the way the crafty+ hits a little better then the mighty. Also my mighty is the newer version. Crafty+ has a slightly more open air flow then the mighty and extracts a little faster. The crafty + also hits better in a bong. The only reason i use my mighty more is because of the battery. Not sure why the crafty + got so much hate. I mean i would have loved a removable battery but what can you do.
I know we all like faster battery charging but overall battery life is better with a slower charge iirc. With a vape that has a non removeable battery a slow would then be better unless you can change it out yourself.
I have the Crafty + it's a big improvement in my opinion. I can get an hour plus out of it, the airflow has improved, it's more intuitive and much more of a convection vape due to changes in the air flow. Since I find this device to be more precise and intuitive, I can put it at the settings that meet my vaping style.
I have been getting powerful and precise sessions from day 1.
I use it occasionally with a water tool via a water pipe adapter. A++++
I've had one of these since it was released and agree totally with you that its a really good device but how do you get an hour out of it ? Mine started out good for twenty minutes and after a year its more like fifteen now .
