If you’ve been around the premium vaporizer game for any minute, you know that Storz & Bickel’s Crafty+ (Plus) and Mighty+ (Plus) sit at the top of many “best of” lists, and for good reason…they kick ass. Both deliver on flavor, vapor, and are built really tough with high‑quality materials, all with a focus on a user experience that “just works.” In this Crafty+ vs Mighty+ comparison, it’s clear they share the same DNA but are purpose‑built for slightly different lifestyles or applications.
In this side‑by‑side breakdown, we’ll show how each device performs in the real world so you can see exactly where they match up, where they differ, and which features might matter most for your sessions. To make things even clearer, we’ve included a performance graph and scoring table so you can quickly compare categories and decide which device is the better fit for you.
Scored by category (Higher is better)
Both the Crafty+ (Plus) and Mighty+ (Plus) showcase Storz & Bickel’s signature build quality, putting them on equal footing in this category. Each is constructed from high‑grade PEEK which is a heat‑resistant, medical‑grade polymer that gives both a premium feel in hand and the durability to withstand years of use. The ribbed exterior design not only adds grip but also aids in heat dissipation, while the overall fit and finish leave no doubt that these are precision‑engineered devices. In terms of materials, craftsmanship, and long‑term reliability, the two are virtually identical.
Both the Crafty+ (Plus) and Mighty+ heat up in roughly 60 seconds, putting them nearly identical in this category. While that’s quick enough for most portable dry herb vaporizer sessions, it’s not the fastest on the market and we do wish Storz & Bickel would shave a few seconds off in future updates. Still, once they reach temperature, both deliver the same smooth, flavorful vapor that makes them two of the best portable vaporizers in 2025.
The Mighty+ has temperature control built in (as well as boost mode) while the Crafty operates on “preset” settings. Long pressing the power button starts the session and your temperature is 356F. Double pressing gets you into boost mode, and a triple press of the button puts it into it’s highest temperature mode.
Both the Crafty+ (Plus) and Mighty+ deliver outstanding vapor quality, making them two of the best portable dry herb vaporizers in 2025. Thanks to Storz & Bickel’s hybrid heating system, each produces dense, flavorful clouds with smooth draws and excellent consistency from the first hit to the last. In side‑by‑side use, there’s virtually no difference in taste, density, or smoothness, putting the Crafty+ and Mighty+ neck and neck in this category. Long story short, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference.
Essentially the Crafty Plus is a smaller version of the Mighty Plus. It’s almost as if the device is split in half. When it comes to using these guys on the go, the crafty+ takes the win here as it’s easier to throw in your pocket or a bag and go. The Mighty+ isn’t as “pocketable” but that doesn’t mean it’s not portable. You can throw it in a bag or if you have big pockets, you can make it work. But if using your device on the go is your biggest priority, I’d vouch for the Crafty here.
The Crafty+ (Plus) and the Mighty + (Plus) both have usb-c charging and they both have usb-c fast charging.
As far as battery life goes, you get about half the battery life with the Crafty as you will get with the Mighty. The Mighty has way more battery life due to it’s two lithium ion batteries compared to single lithium ion battery on the Crafty. If battery life is your main priority, then I would suggest getting the Mighty+.
Crafty+ gets you 4-6 sessions and the Mighty+ gives you 8-12 sessions.
This is a tough question. It’s like asking which is the better Hemsworth brother…they are both really great in their own rights. So instead of declaring a winner, let’s talk about your needs and who each device is best for.
If portability is of importance or price is a constraint, we suggest going with the Crafty+. Our reasoning is that you get the same performance in flavor and vapor at a cheaper pricepoint and a more portable format. The trade off is battery life here.
If battery life is most important to you, then we suggest going with the Mighty+, however, your trade off will be portability and pocketablity. So get yourself some cargo pants if you want to walk around with this thing ;).
The TLDR is…they’re both nearly identical in performance and you can’t go wrong with either one. If price and portability is your priority, then we suggest the Crafty+ and if battery life is most important then we suggest the Mighty+.
The Crafty+ (Plus) is smaller and more portable, while the Mighty+ offers longer battery life and full on‑device temperature control. Both deliver identical vapor quality thanks to Storz & Bickel’s hybrid heating system. Ultimately the main difference is battery life and size. The Crafty+ is smaller in size and in battery capacity.
Yes. Both devices produce dense, flavorful vapor with smooth draws and excellent consistency from the first hit to the last. The difference comes down to size, battery life, and controls — not performance.
Both the Crafty+ and Mighty+ heat up in about 60 seconds. While this is quick enough for most sessions, it’s not the fastest on the market.
The Crafty+ is more pocket‑friendly and easier to carry, making it better for on‑the‑go use. The Mighty+ is larger but offers longer battery life, making it ideal for travel bags or extended trips.
The Mighty+ allows full temperature control directly on the device. The Crafty+ has preset temperatures on the unit, but full customization requires the Storz & Bickel app or web app.
Choose the Crafty+ if you value portability and simplicity. Choose the Mighty+ if you want longer battery life and on‑device temperature control. Both are excellent portable dry herb vaporizers in 2025.
