Friends I have not posted in a few years, I previously was using the Vapolution 2.0 and it did not have the power or quantity of vapor to meet my needs and I went back to combustion. Three weeks ago I bought the Mighty and I am pleased to say I have not smoked since! It gives continuous power and you can hit it many times before a bowl is cashed. The flavor of the vapor is excellent and you aren’t forced to suck hard on the tip to get a good draw; in fact the lightest draw with gentle increase in suction works best and produces great clouds of vapor. I purchased extra cooling units and screens because with my heavy use it gets clogged fast. But for anyone having a hard time transitioning away from combustion, the Mighty is worth every cent. Highly recommended and considering the Volcano and Plenty as well.

Hugh it seems like it would work for the Mighty. The users/questions on amazon say that it regulates the output on the dc side and the amp output matches the draw of the Mighty (3A) I'm just not sure how well I would trust this. For an extra $10 on there there was one with a selectable voltage. I would prefer this rather than relying on a 19v output to step down to 12v.
I don't know your situation with camping - would you be driving? How long are you expecting to be out there? Would there be any means of accessing a mains supply anywhere? There are car adaptors for the Mighty. I would prefer this. Also you could possibly look at a car jump-start pack with the 12v output. Seems to work out much cheaper than the power bank you have seen. Although a lot bigger and bulkier. The other thing to look at would be a 12v sla battery and Jerry rig a car adaptor on to it.
I would be very careful with polarity and voltage- there's probably (hopefully) a resistor in there that will blow to protect the rest of the circuit and I doubt S&B will cover this under warranty when used with 3rd party chargers.
I'm not sure how many charges you would get off either of these too. Not completely up on battery theory (novice electrician-level 2 UK engineering status) and I can't find any official info on the capacity of the Mighty either new or old version. The pack you linked seemed to have 40,000 mah capacity.
A quick Google gave me this formula for working out how many times a battery pack will charge a device - not entirely sure on accuracy but the figures seemed to work out.
(Labeled capacity of the power bank x 3.7 / output voltage of power bank) x 0.85 / battery capacity of device = Total number of recharges
The 3.7 is the voltage of the battery pack (inside the powerbank)
* now I've copy/pasted I can't figure out how to change the format of my text - sorry mods. Will try log in on a pc later and edit.
To summarise it should work. I would look for something closer to a 12v output and be VERY CAREFUL WITH POLARITY (+ AND - BEING SWAPPED) that could just blow your Mighty straight away or it might just not charge. Figure out how many charges you will get off that power bank before buying and give that formula above a bit of room for error.
I'd also consider alternative options. Living without your mighty for a weekend trying a butane or a cheaper vape could be a much cheaper alternative and then you still have a working precious Mighty to come home to.
I'm only saying this as I'm fairly new to the Mighty and I sort of cherish it. Swapping from combustion was a difficult thing for me to do and the Mighty wasn't exactly cheap for me - who has £200 to just throw away? You're probably not on these forums if you do.
Sorry again for a long post and as I said I'm no expert when it comes to electronic theory. I'm still learning but one thing I do know is that it's dangerous and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Thank you for the information and the PM offering further assistance. Amazing forum.
We tent camp but my wife pretty much insists on a campground so she has access to a restroom rather than a tree. The campground we typically go to does not have power at the sites but my car is right there.
I had considered the car charger but then thought I'd have to leave it running while it charged? Would that be the case? I'm not ashamed to admit this is an area where I am an idiot wrapped in a moron.
My brother in law almost always comes along, he bought his Mighty a month after I got mine. We will have two units available. With my use level I have to charge it every day. For him I suspect it is similar. We are usually out camping 3-5 days. Seems like I'd at least want mine to recharge 3 times-he can buy his own charger.
I have a Stanley Fat Max - https://www.amazon.com/STANLEY-PPRH...33&sr=8-7&keywords=professional+power+station
It is big and heavy. Maybe I could bring it and use it instead.
The DynaVap of course is probably the best solution. I think we were just trying to figure out if we could make the Mighty more portable with a small battery charger.

If you have room for the Stanley I wouldn't be looking at anything else. Especially not a mini powerbank which is the same cost. Save your money and just get a car charger.
I wouldn't recommend using the car battery to charge when the car isn't running, it does drain the battery. Much like leaving your headlights on or radio. Having said that your fatmax will jump start the car but still not the best. Use that Stanley for what it's made for.
This is an awesome forum, I'm glad I'm some help and can pay it forward. As in my post above I'm no expert so take my advice with heed-someone may jump in and correct me.

If you have had two perfectly working mightys before I can barely understand why you are so doubtful now about it's quality. You got a faulty device which clearly did not work like your previous units so to me the obvious solution is to exchange the unit and try out the next one + you are asking your questions of doubt in a place full of mighty lovers, you won't find any serious concerns here
. I really did not want to offend you and I am feeling kinda bad if you have felt so - I am sorry for that! I guess my message sounded too harsh - rather imagine myself asking you that question in a chilly and friendly tone 
.I am sometimes a bit too direct and for some people this may be irritating but that's actually my problem not yours

New topic: Vaping e-juice in a dry herb vaporizer
I've been experimenting with CBD for anxiety, vaping CBD "crumble" through my Mighty, with excellent results! The crumble gives me excellent smooth vapor, good taste and I can actually feel the CBD where I frankly felt nothing with the CBD e-cigs and edibles.
Anyway I'm not planning on going back to the e-cigs anymore, the experience just sucks compared to the Mighty w/crumble. Anyway as a result of my experimentation I ended up with some extra CBD e-juice. Can I vape this e-juice through my Mighty?
I plan to drip the e-juice (which is more an oil than a liquid) onto the Mighty concentrate pad and then just vape it at 365F. Will it still be safe this way?
BTW, my CBED e-juice comes in cartridges like this:

I always do a double layer of protection, like a small hemp filter under the conc pad, just to make sure no juice drips down into the Mighty. Should work fine to use up the e-juice

- that would be the cheapest solution for 4-5x recharging

if u add eg a 20w solar panel and charge controller it's around 100$ and works the whole summer

That Stanley will certainly do the job (and a few other jobs as well!). I have something similar that I keep in the car full-time, for emergencies. Looks like it will suit your need just fine.
A year or two ago, some folks were saying the Antigravtiy XP-1 was a good solution, though I see they've gotten a little more expensive. Specifically, the XP-1 (though not so with some of the other A-G models) comes with a plug that will connect it directly to Mighty charge port, so that's a pretty elegant solution.

Good review. The Mighty is the vape that broke me up with blunts/joints too.
The DLX and DLX+ are the standard Mighty units with added accessories. Not different units. The only difference in Mighty's is which production model they are. S&B has tweaked and improved the units over the years adding things such as boost mode and 20% better battery life.
So is this a photo of the Mighty in its very own @HughJundys ?

Thanks man....I like your presentation, I have seen a couple/few of your reviews and just like your diction, pace, and content. Good job.
With regard to light AVB...typical of all S&B vapes, its seems (which I have heard called Volcano Poo no matter what S&B vape it came out of).
If you want darker AVB, put the liquid pad on top of the load. Keeps plant matter out of the CU, keeps the CU screen clean, and adds additional conduction type heating at the end of the load to drive that AVB to even coffee brown.
Is it necessary...meh. But I do this most often when I use the Mighty and I like it better than the dosing capsules.
I do use the caps, but mostly for when I'm doing a flower/'trates sandwich.
Cheers and thanks again for the review.

Word! thanks for checking it out and glad you like the vids.
Also, thanks for the suggestions!
I havent thought of putting the liquid pad on top of the load to increase 'roasting' but, it makes perfect sense when I think about it.
I do however remeber using the Liquid Pad to cut down on the load in the early days and I did not like the after-taste the Liquid pad developed once crumbs, particles and oil started to season the pad.
Plus a full load is just way more satisfying (and I like the lighter AVB) I only try to squeeze everything out when the stash is low.
(like today)Best choice I ever made! people think im a snob when I turn their shit down...lol.
Look what arrived today
Right On! Good for you! You are in for a treat. When the Mighty sits down at the table with you it does not fuck around.
See about picking up one of these. This is a must have accessory in my book.

Great Choice...You will love it! I use mine with the dosing capsules, keeps the oven chamber super clean. IMO The stand is a must...Enjoy!!!
