Here's an email I sent Planet of the Vapes, where I bought the crafty, Planet of the Vapes are a great company, they are concerned how I make out with be & B. The crafty which in my opinion is junk, and Storz and Bickel has the worst customer support, I have ever encountered

Update Here it is August 21 2021, and I still haven't had my original problem (broken plastic on Crafty, which I originally wrote to you guys about), repaired or replaced by Storz and Bickel. Its been about two months since I first contacted them. The process at Storz and Bickel is always the same, seems to be automated,. You contact " customer support " they tell you to submit an RMA, you do that, then you get a canned email saying they are sending a shipping box, put your crafty in the box and send it back to us...then after a couple weeks, they send you an email, so you can " rate their customer service " even though the original problem hasn't been taken care of . I have yet to receive this shipping box they keep saying that they are sending me, even though they have my correct address. I have been through this same process four times for the same issue, and its still not fixed or replaced. I was tired of getting the run around from Storz and Bickel, on this issue, so repaired the crafty myself so that I could at least use it. I thought I was done trying to get my warranty honored by S&B. Today the on/off switch on my crafty stopped working, it won't turn on, even though the battery is fully charged. I can't even use it now. I don't even feel like dealing with Storz and Bickel anymore, after all the runaround they have been giving me, might just toss the crafty, and chalk it up as a lesson learned. After reading all of the high ratings for Storz and Bickel products, and the Crafty in particular, I bought one from you guys, you guys are excellent, but I will never buy another Storz and Bickel product, in my opinion their crafty is an inferior product, and their " customer support " is almost non=existant. Thanks

Carl I assume you submitted a RMA. I had to pack it up myself and send it to S&B USA . I used the original case it came in. Unless you were told otherwise. I searched their page and could not find info on that. A lot has changed there even the warranty on some units. They now have a Price list for repairs. I am taking it easy on my switch to make it last.
How many hours did you have on the Crafty.

S&B warranty has changed from the past. I took my broken switch crafty apart. I can't even figure out how the switch operates. Seem like a 5 cent part. This is how they maximize profit. Batteries and cooling chambers are no longer covered. Maybe I am puffing to much Blackend oranges but they seem going down hill in quality . I am trying to figure out if the mighty switch is bigger and then it may last longer. 6 hours on my new crafty+ and battery is stronger and faster.
As I am a heavy user crafty will never last 2 years. Something will fail. At this point if they replace my unit once I will take that. Planet of the vapes is my go to spot. Top notch from order to delivery was less than 60 hours.
Another change I saw in the warranty was that they can replace your device with a re-manufactured one.

I neglected cleaning my cooling chambers weekly. Took a while longer to get the tar completely off. We will see how long the 3rd crafty will last. This one is a crafty+ and has a stronger battery. Happy harvest everyone my state is talking legalization .

I have had The Mighty for four years this month. Never a problem. Bought direct from S & B. I use a WPA and so The Mighty is usually, but certainly not always, inverted into a piece. I quickly threw that gunked up cooling piece into the garbage. Of course, I don't use it everyday, but perhaps average 300 times a year. One of these days it will stop. I see the Mighty + is $400. That's a little much. I would like to purchase the Plenty.
4 years I am committed to the crafty as I have 4 cooling towers. I am going to burn this crafty out at some point. Mighty seems to be the way to go for longevity. I don't think that my crafty+ will last the 2 year warranty being a moderate user. If they send me a new one time will tell. These vapes work really well is a fact. Everything is going up in price 400 prices out a lot of people.

Just a heads up I put an order in for the new crafty+ on the storz & bickel website Thursday night, it’s now Monday and they shipped it out.
glad I did not have to wait forever for them to ship

That's only two business days. I'd say that's pretty good.

60h on mine no issues either.
Shoulda went with the mighty based on how much i use the thing!
I am used to the Craftys size. Pocket size. I think my supply may run out before this one dies. I am getting low. I don't know if I have 10 hours of bud left.
And I am not going to the dispensary .
I am nearing 150 hours and crafty+ is changing my mind. I am thinking that the addition of a better battery is making a big difference. I can still get 3 uses on a charge. I don't start a session under 3 battery bars. I guess it is a little over a year old now.
This crafty + seems indestructible simular to reports from users of the mighty. Time will tell as I will report the death of crafty or 50 hours of vape sessions whichever comes first.

Had this beast since 2015ish, never failed!
Worst problem I had was getting another charger.
Highly recommend the glass mouthpiece.

I may have to price the glass tube.
Glass stems interesting. Some of my plastic stems are very old. Does S&B sell them. I will probably stick with the crafty+ because I am used to it. It is like a part of me lol.

I believe so, I bought it from their stall at an expo so I’d imagine the website would too.
