Coarse Replacement Screens for Mighty and Crafty Vaporizers
The Mighty Crafty coarse screen set is a pack of 6 original Storz & Bickel replacement screens designed to sit at the bottom of the filling chamber on your Mighty or Crafty vaporizer. These coarse mesh screens keep ground herb from falling into the heating element while allowing hot air to pass through evenly — which is how you get smooth, flavourful draws instead of scorched, uneven hits. A small part with a big job, and one that wears out faster than most people realise. If you're looking to buy replacement screens for your Storz & Bickel device, this set covers the Mighty, Mighty+, Crafty, and Crafty+.
Why Replacing Your Vaporizer Screens Matters
A clogged or warped coarse screen is the single most common cause of poor vapour quality in Mighty and Crafty vaporizers. It's a clogged screen. Resin, plant matter, and fine particulate build up in the mesh over weeks of use. Once airflow drops, your herb heats unevenly — some spots combust while others barely warm through. You end up with harsh vapour, wasted material, and that burnt popcorn taste nobody asked for.
Cleaning helps, and you should be doing it regularly with isopropyl alcohol. But coarse screens have a finite lifespan. The mesh warps slightly with repeated heating and cooling cycles, and once it does, it no longer sits flush in the chamber. That tiny gap means herb gets past the screen and into places it shouldn't be. At that point, cleaning won't fix the geometry — you need a fresh screen.
With 6 screens in this Mighty Crafty coarse screen set, you're looking at roughly 6 to 12 months of replacements depending on how heavily you use your vaporizer. That's a lot of sessions protected by a single purchase. We'd call that the cheapest performance upgrade you can make to a Storz & Bickel device.
Mighty and Crafty Screen Specifications
This Mighty Crafty coarse screen set includes 6 original Storz & Bickel screens stamped to the exact filling chamber diameter. According to data published by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), convection vaporizers like the Mighty and Crafty produce significantly fewer harmful byproducts than combustion methods — but only when airflow components like screens are properly maintained. Here are the full specs:

| Mesh type | Coarse |
| Placement | Bottom of filling chamber |

Coarse vs Fine Screens — Which One Goes Where
Coarse screens line the bottom of the filling chamber and hold herb in place while allowing maximum airflow upward through the material. Storz & Bickel uses two screen types in the Mighty and Crafty: coarse and fine. This set contains the coarse screens. The wider mesh openings on a coarse screen mean less airflow resistance, which is why the draw on these vaporizers feels so easy compared to conduction units.
The fine screens sit in the cooling unit (the top part that clips onto the filling chamber). Those catch smaller particles before they reach your mouth. Both screen types need replacing, but the coarse ones tend to degrade faster because they're in direct contact with your herb and the heat source. If you're only going to order one replacement part today, make it the coarse screen.
| Screen type | Location | Mesh size | Primary function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coarse (this set) | Bottom of filling chamber | Wider openings | Holds herb, allows airflow |
| Fine | Cooling unit | Tighter openings | Catches fine particles |
How to Replace the Coarse Screen on Your Mighty or Crafty
Replacing a coarse screen takes under two minutes and requires no tools beyond what Storz & Bickel includes with your vaporizer. Follow these steps:
- Turn off your vaporizer and let it cool completely. The filling chamber retains heat for a few minutes after shutdown — patience here saves burnt fingers.
- Remove the cooling unit by pressing the latch and lifting it off the filling chamber.
- Empty any remaining herb from the chamber. A small brush (included with your Mighty or Crafty) works well for this. Tap the unit upside down to dislodge stubborn bits.
- Use the orange pick tool (also included with your vaporizer) to gently pry out the old coarse screen from the bottom of the filling chamber. It should pop out without much force — if it's stuck, a quick soak in isopropyl alcohol loosens the resin.
- Drop a fresh coarse screen into the bottom of the chamber. Press it down gently with your finger or the flat end of the pick tool until it sits flush. You'll feel it click into the recessed lip.
- Reassemble the cooling unit, load your herb (Storz & Bickel recommends 0.15g–0.2g per dosing capsule, or a loose fill for the full chamber), and you're good to go.
Getting the Most From Your Storz and Bickel Vaporizer Screens
Regular cleaning between replacements extends each screen's usable life by several weeks. Brush out the chamber after every session while it's still slightly warm — resin is softer at temperature and comes off easier. Once a week (or every 8–10 sessions), remove the screen and soak it in isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes. Let it dry fully before reinserting.
One honest limitation: coarse screens are not a fix for poor grind consistency. If your herb is ground too fine, particles will pass through the coarse mesh regardless of how new the screen is. A medium grind — think coarse sea salt, not powder — works best with these screens. Too fine and you'll clog the cooling unit faster. Too chunky and you won't get even extraction. The grind matters as much as the screen.
Compared to third-party replacement screens you'll find elsewhere, these are the original Storz & Bickel parts. They're stamped to the exact diameter of the filling chamber, so they sit flush without bowing or rattling. We've seen aftermarket screens that are a fraction of a millimetre off — enough to let herb slip past the edges. For a part this cheap, there's no reason to gamble on a knockoff. Get the originals and know they'll fit first time.
Complete your maintenance kit: pair these coarse screens with the Mighty and Crafty Seal Ring Set to keep your cooling unit airtight, and a set of Dosing Capsules if you want cleaner sessions with less chamber residue to clean in the first place. The capsules hold around 0.15g–0.2g each and keep herb off the screen entirely, which extends screen life significantly. You can also pick up the Mighty and Crafty Fine Screen Set to refresh your cooling unit at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace the coarse screen on my Mighty or Crafty?
Every 4 to 8 weeks with regular use, or sooner if you notice reduced airflow or uneven heating. Heavy daily users might swap screens every 3 weeks. A good rule: if cleaning no longer restores smooth airflow, it's time for a fresh screen.
Do these coarse screens fit both the Mighty+ and the original Mighty?
Yes. The filling chamber dimensions are identical across the Mighty, Mighty+, Crafty, and Crafty+. All four devices use the same coarse screen at the bottom of the chamber. One set fits them all.
Can I use the Mighty or Crafty without a screen?
Technically yes, but you really shouldn't. Without a coarse screen, ground herb falls directly onto the heating element. This causes combustion, uneven extraction, and a mess that's much harder to clean than simply replacing a screen.
What is the difference between coarse and fine screens for the Mighty?
Coarse screens go in the filling chamber and have wider mesh openings to allow airflow through your herb. Fine screens sit in the cooling unit and catch smaller particles. Both need periodic replacement, but coarse screens wear out faster due to direct heat contact.
How do I clean a coarse screen before replacing it?
Soak the screen in isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and let it dry completely. This removes resin buildup and can extend screen life between full replacements. Don't use soap — it leaves residue that affects vapour taste.
Will using dosing capsules mean I need to replace screens less often?
Absolutely. Dosing capsules keep herb contained in a small aluminium chamber, so very little material contacts the coarse screen directly. Users who switch to capsules often find their screens last 2 to 3 times longer between replacements.
