I just looked for a second, I think the mighty medic is just a mighty with the new dosing capsules included but idk for sure.

I don't know about design differences, but I read that it has a three year warranty instead of two. Have you seen that? It would seem to be a good statement of confidence in their Mighty were they to lengthen the warranty.
Pls let us know if you learn more from S&B. My guess is they'll just want to tout the testing that it has passed, etc., and not say "oh, yes, it's actually just a Mighty!"

Just made my 60.00 payment to s&b to upgrade my crafty to mighty, do they still over night them?

I believe the Volcano Medic is essentially just a digital volcano with the word MEDIC on it that's been tested, wouldn't surprise me at all if the Mighty did same thing and would differentiate Medic devices from standard Mighties

I agree and I think there are a lot of factors that lead to chipping. I have heard to take off the cu when warm, when cold, don't overpack, don't do this don't do that. I think it all comes down to being careful. I have had my mighty for 4 months now, I pack it tighter than normal, I find it slightly decreases airflow but it is still very airy. I take off my cu when it's cold. After my session, I put the mighty away with the mouthpiece still rotated out. At my next session, I take off my chest, brush everything out, and repack. I have not had any sign of stress or anything like it yet knock on wood
Cano Medic temp is governed. Curious if Mighty Medic is the same.
Regarding chipping, I don't treat my Mighty's gently or anything, and still have an OG serial 12XXX that is flawless. I take the CU's off hot or cold, I over stuff the bowl, put tonnes of pressure on the thing with my Muzzmod, and yet i've never had a problem. I don't get it, but it has to either be some sort of operator error, or bad batches of casings? I do press down on the CU when taking it off, perhaps it's as simple as something like that? I've even dropped my Mighty several times!
I would LOVE some sort of rubber casing for the Mighty, kind of like the bumper on my iphone. @Ratchett ?

Hey everyone - I'm really trying to decide between this vape, the crafty and the FireFly 2. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am a bit nervous about the reliability of the crafty unit and potentially the mighty. I have not seen many reports of the Mighty breaking, but I have seen plenty about the crafty.
Also - a bit concerned about the conduction piece of the vape. I have a Pax and the taste on that is terrible after a bit.
The reason I like the FF2 is that it's all convection however I heard that it is a bit hard to produce "clouds" as opposed to the performance beast known as the Mighty.
How about carrying the Mighty around? Do you? Do you use it outside? I foresee it being great as a travel vape for long distance travel but not so much for an outdoor vape for those occassional times.
Thanks
Oh I just want to add that my daily driver is a Cloud Evo if that means anything.

I'd look at the milaana as a mix between the firefly and the mighty...but out of the three you said probably the mighty.
But then it depends on what type of user you are.
Don't sleep the mighty can/does break...do some more digging, that being said it is even with its flaws, the mighty is top of the line
The crafty shouldn't even be discussed. Unless you hardly vape and are obsessed with your smartphone and charging...there will be tons of downtime charging the crafty

I'm a heavy user, but like I said, most of the time this would be strictly for portable use, and strictly for when I got to go for long distance travel. I think the crafty is fully out due to all the issues, but as mentioned, my one concern is how large the Mighty will be. How do people take it around during the summer time? Etc.

I carry mine in a front pocket of a backpack...
But im not a slim jean/small pocket kind of guy.
It travels okay, but since its plastic (mostly) handling while warm is when its most venerable.
I definetly wouldnt bike with it in my pocket.
I use it heavy and have to charge if once mid day while out.

I'd say get a Mighty, but they are a bit big. They fit easily in a jacket pocket, or a pants pocket really, but I don't like having a $400 device just on me like that.....idk why I don't have the same aversion with my phone
That said it's not huge, its like the size of two Iphone 6s stacked on top of each other.
I tend to do like @WakeAndVape and throw it in a backpack

I take Mighty along for a lot of outside the house use, though most of that is in the car! Have a Pax2 also.
If I were going to the beach, a 1+ hr drive, I'd use Mighty in car and toss Pax2 in the beach tote. Mighty and Crafty have all those cooling fins (nooks and crannies!) and I'd worry about keeping one clean in a sandy or dusty environ.
Or kayaking! (but that's an old joke now)
And, yes, while it will fit in a jeans pocket (relaxed fit for me!), you can't consider it "active wear". About like my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone w/Otterbox footprint but about 2X fatter. Or two iphones stacked, @HellsWindStaff
I am crossing fingers and toes that the Hopper(s) arrive before vacay at the beach this year!

It seems like I should get the mighty for long distance trips, the grasshopper for stealth situations, and I have my pure convection unit the cloud evo as my main daily driver.
Maybe I should skip out on the FF2 for now and buy the mighty. It seems like a very powerful unit.

Crafty: too many reliability issues, especially combined with a short (2 year) guarantee. some people have gone through multiple units before eventually trading them in for a mighty.
FF2: it's new, so users are still figuring out the technique, but it sounds like you have to stir every 3rd vape or so if you want decent extraction; otherwise you get big differences in extraction in different parts of the load. it's also 'pipe-like': it glows, has an obvious bowl, so it's not optimal for stealth. users report that it's not great for group sessions (small bowl).
mighty: no stirring, excellent extraction (ABV is consistently uniform color), cool vapor (unlike FF2, which seems to need higher temperatures to 'finish' a load, you can get near-total extraction on low temperatures, meaning none of those nasty-tasting final vape hits if you're ok with not getting that last hit or 2), much better reliability than crafty (probably due to it having 2 batteries instead of crafty's 1). portable enough (think hard drive, or flask). better stealth than FF2, but you're still going to look like you're sucking on a hard drive/flask. there have been a few posts here about failures, but they seem to mostly involve very heavy use.
if 'hit on demand' is your main thing, FF2 might be your baby. otherwise, go with mighty. (full disclosure: I own a mighty, think it's a total game-changer after owning a MFLB)

The mighty is very poweful...but i hate to sound like a shill, but the milaana is making me reconsider my relationship with my mighty fwiw...i can extract a whole load in two hits, on demand style! Still like the mighty better for extensions and sessions
Oh cant forget the mighty shines in the temp control department too, but i like high temp sessions.

I'm just putting a random question out there - People say that you're not supposed to do burn offs or dry runs with the mighty because of some problems that will occur (i can't remember what they were). Why do people say don't do dry runs, but using the dosing capsules isn't a problem?

I'm buying a Milaana just because of you and your comments. Is the Milaana really that good? On the same sized load, would you get higher off the Milaana than the Mighty?
As of now, I don't think vapour quality/density can get much better than my EVO or Supreme V3.
Damn , I hate paying $8 shipping for a $7 item. I just want to try a damn pod lol. Someone on FC needs to buy a few 40 packs and sell 6 packs for like $5 ea. shipped cheaply in a little envelope.
You dont sound like a shill, you sound more like a guy comparing Apples and oranges my friend. Seriously.
Mighty and Milaana are two different vapes. Ones a session Vape, and the other an on demand vaporizer.

If you do get a mighty, I'll be sure to let the guys at Walmart know that they don't necessarily have to tackle you when youre attempting to buy them out of keyboard cleaner (hint, hint)I take Mighty along for a lot of outside the house use, though most of that is in the car! Have a Pax2 also.

Edit - sorry, meant the other guy.
@HellsWindStaff I was day dreaming about my mighty the other day and started to get concerned about how I don't think I can go back to the air if I ever have any problems with it. I considered some other vapes and RBT were the only ones that I thought would have comparable vape. I won't spend my money on anything RBT til PIU starts to carry their products. I have now begun my very own mighty insurance fund for worse case scenarios, but im hoping that RBT products will be available on PIU by the time I actually made enough deniros

I have a crafty and yes mine failed in about a year, my second one is still ticking. I love the size and that is the only thing holding me back from upgrading to the mighty. Very true about extraction, always consistent, no need to stir. That is my issue with FF2, Milaana and why mighty and crafty will be tops for me. I realize I'm not really enjoying the stirring involved with these other vapes. I really enjoy taking my crafty on long road trips and cannot see that being fun with one you need to stir to get most of your goodies.

I go where the thrills are
As Slow Draw says, apples and oranges are tough to compare. Most diets require both.
Mighty: easy, automatic, very good flavor, very session-based, perfect for more than person, unrestricted draw. Ugly, plastic, pain in the ass to clean. Bit of a weed hog thanks to conduction, not all that portable or stealthy. Amazing vape, but not for all applications.
FF2: easier than FF1, but still manual, requires intervention. Unparalleled flavor, great for small loads and single-use, somewhat restricted draw, extremely conservative, no waste whatsoever. Dead easy to clean, takes 1/10th of the time to maintain over the Mighty. Perhaps the most beautiful and sleek portable on the market. More portable by far than the Mighty. Again, amazing vape, but not for all applications.
Choice between the two? Good luck.
I wouldn't live without either.

I've never heard that...i did 2 two minute burnoffs just cause...no probs yet

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too
This post is for anyone using dosing capsules.
Seeing as I couldn't find any propper instructions, here is my explanation of how I believe these new products should be used.
Loaded capsules should be stored upright. So the lid of the cap is on top of the cap and the cap moves freely in its little space in the basket.
Used capsules should be stored upside down so the lid is firmly pushed tightly into its space in the basket.
If you do this you'll know which caps are used and you'll also be able to get the lids off easily by levering the used cap away from the basket, leaving the lid still in its little space in the basket. Once you do it enough times the lids come away more easily by hand.

I'm just about to pull the trigger on the Mighty, and then I see posts like this. Most of the time I guess it would be single use only, so that kinda now leans me toward the FF2.
Also, the cleaning thing does make it tough, because if I want to go on a trip, let's say to the promised land, aka Colorado, I like being able to clean it easily. I have used the Pax for this in the past, but my Pax is being real finicky lately and that's why I'm looking for something new. I like the fact that the FireFly 2 uses less, but if it comes at the cost of vapor production, that may turn me off.
Also the size of the Mighty is a real big turn off for me, as I would like something somewhat pocketable. This is an insanely tough decision.
