Crafty+ review. So after having a flowermate mini Pro for about 3 years I bought myself a crafty+ from Australian vapourisers. After doing a fair bit of reading I was expecting big things from this vape ($400rrp). I'm now a daily vaper but by no means a big user, have just one bowl each night maybe a few more on the weekend.
Out of the box, it's a pretty light unit as it's made out of some medical grade plastic. There is a small cleaning tool which slots in to the base which even though it sits firmly does rattle around a bit when the unit is in your hand.
As for vaping temps, there are 3 presets which come at default of 180/195/210 which for me seemed reasonable so I left them as is. 210c is the max temp which for some may not be enough but it is for me. You can change the presets if you want via the app with the unit connecting to your phone via Bluetooth.
The unit doesn't have a display, instead it relies on the press of the power button which turns the unit on and cycles through the preset temps. There are a couple of LED lights which flash or stay solid depending if the unit is heating up or reached temp already. To be honest, I would have preferred something more discrete than 2 blazing LED strips for all to see when it's in your hand. Even after lowering the brightness via the app they're still plenty visible. A set of 3 smaller more discrete LEDs doing the same job so it's not as eye catching when you're using it in public would have been better. BTW the app is only available for android but I think for apple you can get it from the S&B website.
The vapour quality and ease of drawing is just awesome. For my flowermate mini I felt at times like I was sucking on a maccas thickshake, although need to admit its a tiny unit so I probably should have set my expectations lower with the flowermate mini. With the crafty+ hardly any resistance at all. The bowl is a good size too as is the dosing capsule should you choose to use it. After 3 big draws job done. I'll certainly get more out my weed with this unit.
Battery life so far, can't say much. Have read its very good but compared to my flowermate mini I'm sure it's better.
So that's it really. Pretty pleased with the purchase but just need to get used to a newer way of operating my vape.
