The Crafty Dry Herb Vaporizer is by far the best device we've tested in its category. It delivers consistent hits and the flavor and vapor production are outstanding. This is the type of device that totally revolutionizes the way you vape dry herbs, the only downside being its price tag.

WHAT YOU GET INSIDE THE BOX

The Crafty Dry Herb Vaporizer from Storz & Bickel comes packed in a blue and orange gift box and inside you will find the device itself, a USB cable, the user manual, three extra screens, a liquid pad, a dry herb grinder, a fill adapter, cleaning brush and spare seals.

The hard plastic outer shell is top quality and the device has no rattle. It's feels like a premium herb vaporizer and it's powered by a non-removable 2650mAh battery.

MAIN FEATURES

You can use the vaporizer while it's charging but the high capacity is enough for a few generous sessions. It takes little over two hours for the battery to get fully charged and the maximum output time we got was around 55 minutes on a lower heat setting.

Also it takes around one and a half minutes for the Crafty Dry Herb Vaporizer to reach the desired temperature and the swinging mouth-piece is a cool extra touch. To access the heating chamber all you need to do is twist the top cap and it comes off. You can fit up to 0.3 grams of dry herb material inside, just be careful it's not too tight. The provided filling aid does take some time to get used to, but it does the job just perfectly. You just need to shake and tap and your herb will fall right inside the chamber.

To turn the device on you simply need to press the button for 2 seconds. This will make the Crafty Dry Herb Vaporizer heat up in normal temperature setting. To make it go into boost mode you have to double press the button as it comes to temperature. The default values are 356F/180C for the normal mode and 383F/195C for boost mode. You can always change these temperatures with the smartphone app which is free to download.

THE DEVICE HAS VIBRATION FEEDBACK

The cool thing about the Crafty Dry Herb Vaporizer is that it vibrates. You get this type of feedback when you turn the device on and also when the auto shut off timer activates. This usually happens after one minute of inactivity but you can always reset the counter the pressing the fire button during sessions. The device will let you know when it has reached temperature by changing the LED lights on the base from red to green.
