mighty + purchase

I purchased a mighty + a few months back and the seller never gave me a receipt for my purchase.

I recently obtained the proof of purchase and within an hour Storz and Bickel extended my warranty to 3 years!
Very prompt and friendly service.

The vape is great too!

In September I bought a Mighty vape…

In September I bought a Mighty vape (original) in March it started taking longer to heat up and higher temperatures. So I contacted Storz and Bickel the next business day i was sent a packing slip via email to return the vape. I used 2 day shipping at USPS to send to Ca. The day after they got my vape back, i had an email that they are sending me my mighty back they just stated in the email “repaired or replaced “. Well i was surprised that they sent a brand new Mighty+.

As far as these vapes, I had Severe Covid last year. As a result of having to be intubated and tracheotomy, i have issues with my vocal cords and trachea. Every few months they take a camera down to look. When i smoked my throat was grey. Using the Mighty, everything was clear and normal.

Thanks Storz and Bickel!

$139US Battery replacement ripoff

I have a Crafty and a Mighty. Great vaporizers, but the price to have the battery replaced once it dies is ridiculous. Be prepared to spend $139US plus shipping to have a new 18650 battery installed. Yes, they will clean it, put new gaskets, etc, but seriously $139US!? I wrote them to inquire about them selling me a prewired battery for my out-of-warranty Crafty, but they won't do it. So I will be replacing my Crafty, but it will not be a Storz and Bickel product.

- Not satisfied with the product

- The battery life is too short
- The reservoir is too small
- When you combine the two aforementioned qualities it is difficult for the product to meet its intent
- We also have concerns over the safety of the devices battery
- Cleaning and maintenance is required too often for the product to remain effective
-expensive (not worth the price)

Love their products, great customer service

Love their products. Always really quick delivery whatever you order. Great customer service! Had an issue and raised it with them. They kept me informed and sent clear instructions on what to do. After no luck they sent me a replacement free of charge and it was out in the post the same day. Very reliable

Great product poor customer service

I’m so sad to be writing this review as I rate Storz and Bickel as the best vape machine manufacturer in the market, I have owned 3 Mighty’s, a Plenty, 2 Volcano Digital and a Volcano Hybrid. I love them, they’re a superb product.
The problem has occurred with my Volcano Hybrid which is very disappointing, from after the first 2 months the digital display started to malfunction so I was unable to read the settings, I could make it out to some extent what the temperature was so I accepted that the display might have been effected by the heating process. Gradually the screen deteriorated further and it’s now at a stage that it’s practically impossible to read the settings. I contacted Storz and Bickel to firstly check if my product was still under warranty and then to organise a repair, I was told that I should open a ticket which I did however I never received a reply after I registered the device, this was in July 22 and the warranty expired October 22. Now the device won’t even heat up properly. I’m so disappointed as I thought the price was very high but I have always been happy with my previous purchases. I didn’t want to leave this but I’m so disappointed with the customer service so I have no alternative.

I've had the mighty and the plenty

I've had the mighty and the plenty, only gripe with the plenty was the bowl to put your plant matter in was big ,since then the plenty has a attachment so you can put a filling capsule in it, makes it so much more usable for a solo user.
As for the mighty ,I've been quite impressed with it ,it's very well thought about ,the filling aids ,capsules and the built-in poker is a good idea.
After almost two years I dropped it ,it was OK but I ended up dropping g it again and although it was working OK, the led light on the display stopped working .
I sent it back to storz and bickel and promptly got a brand new one with the upgraded battery, over the moon with the customer service by storz and bickel.
After 6 years using the mighty every single day, multiple times throughout the day, the battery's finally gave up .
I know the mighty isn't cheap but it's so well made and the quality of the vapor is just brilliant,quite simply the best on the market.
My only gripe is the draw on the mighty ,it has quite a bit of resistance.
Storz and bickel are open about it but personally I like less resistance when drawing the vapour from the mighty .
Great product but very expensive ,personally I love the mighty and very happy with my experience with the product and after service from storz and bickel

I have had 3 craftys in 3 years

I have had 3 craftys in 3 years . They go wrong usually within the year. They have been replaced as within warranty although having to send to Germany and wait is a pain. These are expensive products. My third on which has gone wrong with the exact same issue is 2 weeks over a year old so I’ve been told as it was a replacement the warranty is halved and therefore I will have to pay for the repair. This is obviously an inherent fault . They won’t budge it seems and want to charge me £100 to fix . I recommended this product to my friends and last night got a call from a friend with the exact same problem !!!! I used to rate Storz bickel however can’t say this product ( although the vape when working is great) is worth the expense due to this continuous fault. You would expect better

Not very practical

I bought the crafty when my flower mate vaporiser stopped working. I thought it would be worth paying more because of the brand.

However, I wouldn't recommend it.
Firstly, the battery only lasts for around 30 minutes. I assumed it was faulty but they tell me this is normal. You cannot use it while it is on charge, or at least until the battery is over half full again.

Secondly, you need to operate it using an app on your phone. This leaves too much room for error, when the crafty battery is charged enough your phone may not be. Ive also found the app times out etc during use. I don't always have access to my phone when I would normally like to use the vape, which is frustrating.

A plus is that it seems more durable than my flower mate. It is entirely made of plastic so there is no chance of smashing the glass pipe, and it feels like it would survive being dropped.

As soon as I can afford it I will be replacing this. Pretty disappointed with it.

Very Disappointing!

Though some of their products might be a hit, their customer service is a disaster.
Taking days to confirm a received payment, thus delaying shipping and an unsatisfied customer waiting for the goods he paid for in advance waiting for a miracle to happen?
To my book THAT IS BAD SERVICE!!!!!
Also Storz& Bickel did not activate their Trustpilot page so won't even be aware of all those negative comments aired on this page.
It really is a shame that such a renowned company isn't able to deliver a satisfactory customer experience.

I'd rather get a payday loan at 50% than buy another one of these

This being such an expensive device you think it would be a good experience, absolutely not. The device broke fairly quickly and I do not use it much, registering the device and mailing it back was very painful and not user friendly. Now I have to pay customs AGAIN for its return. I literally have rarely felt so ripped off on something. Buy a xmax starry is my recommendation, just 1 if mine lasted months longer and you could buy 4 of them for the price of this over priced garbage. I am absolutely flabbergasted at the quality of this device and service for the price paid.

Placed a $500 order

Placed a $500 order. They aren’t very bright and used the USPS which they don’t tell you till often you place your order. Package was lost reached out to them and they said oh well. Just have wait it will arrive. Total scammer response so now I have to flag them as a fraudulent charge. They are scammers so watch out

Great products and customer service (S&B Europe)

I had some issues my crafty+ after 2,5 years of use. Always been very satisfied with the product but the battery performance started to decrease. I was still in the extended warranty and asked the support team if there was a way to do a battery change. Instead they replaced my model with a new one and I am very satisfied by that! I was helped by S&B Europe (based in Germany).

Great customer service

Had an error code, UPS were appalling, messed my order up and had the parcel a week without it leaving the U.K. Storz Bickle were on the ball with UPS and to save me any messing just issued the replacement device to save me waiting even longer. Good vape, good customer service. Cheers guys
