Pretty new Mighty owner..and loving it with the capsules. Wish I would have spent the money sooner! I've skimmed through/read this entire thread, and learned a lot.

I have some lightly padded cases..one of which is a first aid pack. Looks a little more inconspicuous. When I'm on my motorcycle though, I'd like a pelican case. An 1150 will fit my luggage perfectly. I'd like to know if it's a big enough case to fit the Mighty with it being on it's side. (So power button is facing the top)

On an accessories question. Where are people buying from these days? Everyone seems to sing the praises of Puffitup. I bought my first vape from them. Now though, I'm noticing higher prices then S&B on accessories. 40 dosing caps, 21.99 on PUI. Same thing is 13.90 at S&B? Am I missing something? If I send an email, do they beat S&B, or just match them?

Mine is also 05-2017 without a sticker. I did a warm-up test as MightyLife did, i charged it fully, turned it on and timed it at the same temperature range as he did, 25C-185C. The time is the same, actually a few seconds faster (67 secs).

My guess is that all the new 2017 models, those with the boost mode and the haptic shut off warning, also have the new improved battery. They just started to add the sticker now for commercial purposes. For me this is logical, new model - all new features.

I also meant to ask. I learned about the humidity sensor from the thread. I am in/near water on a regular basis when it warms up. Kayak (thought I'd mention that one first, due to the earlier posts!) swimming, hot tubs, camping inches from a river. What are some Vapes I should look at, that are the closest vape to the mighty? Something reliable, portable, and water friendly. (Not getting it wet, but at least humidity friendly)

Brand new Mighty from PIU just delivered. Date is 05-2017

20% stronger battery EU only? I think it took about 2 months for the better crafty to land on US soil.

I'm in US. My mighty had the ”20% more battery power”sticker

Nothing electrical! For that use scenario I'd suggest something butane powered.

There is a reason they call the mighty...

This is our golf vape. Earlier this year my buddy, new to the mighty, walked to the cart to repack. I was putting and didn't think anything of it.

I look over to see him stuffing and shoving and pressing and packing. I was like woahhhhh, dude we're not combusting. Too late, CU in place.

We proceed to hit this thing about 24 times over the next hole until he cried, no more!

Bottom line, light pack, tight pack, hard draw, light draw, long draw, short draw- this think flat out works.

Don't even get me started on the mighty through a hydratube...

Might try and reach out to S&B with the SN and see if it has the new battery even tho there is no sticker but it has the new box design.

I would say if there is no sticker you do not have the expanded battery!
Btw I dont even see anything wrong here... The distributors receive their new charges from time to time and at some point there comes a minor update from S&B probably to the same price. The resellers cant just throw their "old" mightys away, especially if there is actually no real difference.
My Mighty packaging lays down in the basement and I dont bother enough to walk down and check it but I am sure its from 05/17, too! Although I got it directly from S&B ;).

worst case would be the 'older' battery version lasts 3 years and you have to pay for a +30% battery exchange ;)

I haven't had humidity problems with outdoor use so far, but i don't use it in the rain ;)
The Vapium Summit claims to be a 'waterproof' vape - hasn't convinced me so far (only ebay hunted :evil:) but it's not close to a mighty...
For outdoors i second @Slagzord - my favourite butane vape is the Vapman, it works in ANY weather condition :nod: maybe add a Vapcap M (quick hits), Vaponic+ (smooth and easy to share) and Sticky Brick Jr (:goon:;)) for variety/added fun at good weather :cool:

it depends on the WPA, i've got the cheap 2- part glass and plastic 'screw just a bit' type...
A capsule lid upside down(so it's a plain surface) fits into the glass part as spacer pretty good and tight (bending the capsule lid-mid outwards can be added as fine tuning, nothing should rattle when shaked) - actually it's tight enough to stick the whole filled capsule into the glass or for micro loads just use the capsule lid in the glass as screen, but for clouds with caps imo it's best to have the cap pressed a bit into the chamber to get more heat penetration, or at least the same as when used without water

Hey all. My mighty turns 2 y/o this year. I want to send it to S&B to have it cleaned from inside and have it checked. Would S&B replace the batteries with the new batteries that last 20% longer?
Click to expand...

Do not hesitate to send an RMA,his good reputation encouraged me and improved my expectations :clap::clap::clap:, check it in my post back, send a mighty with 2 years old with the battery in decent condition andthey gave me back a brand new batch of a mighty new with accesories totally free and all in a record time :rockon: (since the package left my home)

luck with your mighty ! :leaf:

I was discussing the newly added boost and haptics with S&B (EU) in an email from Jan 2017, and then in July 2017 they confirmed to me that "At this point in time, there are no Mightys with a longer battery power" (only the Crafty then)
So this means your assumption might not be correct.

To take it even further, it looks like they improved the outer packaging in between the haptics/boost upgrade, and the new battery!
It seems they're not afraid to roll out any little differences whenever they want, or as soon as they become available, as opposed to storing a few up for a bigger multi-point upgrade.

The first mention of an improved battery Mighty sticker in this thread that I know of was member @Rai.Dar on Jan 6th only four pages ago, and the unit came from S&B Germany I believe.

It looks to me like they put the sticker on the box when the battery is improved, then they send out a newsletter after some time to allow a little distribution, shortly after they hit US and Canada.
The approximate timeline for the Crafty was:
Early July 2017, sticker appears on boxes (EU)
Oct 2017, Newsletter posted (EU) Re: new battery.
Oct-Nov 2017, USA FC posters mention having the sticker.

Also my Mighty was "born on" 11-2014 (thanks @MightyLife for that tip!), and my heat time after 10 months of use, was 77.7 secs
So it looks like heat up time has not been affected very much at all,
I've also just noticed S&B used the words "a longer battery power", indicating that the change was more to do with number of sessions?

Maybe you are right, @MightyLife has emailed S&B asking for clarification about this issue, so we'll soon find out.

Hi I did send a mail to SB a week back to check whether 20% more battery was because of better battery management or bigger battery and if the new version had any other updates. Here's the relevant part of their response:

"We manufacture the MIGHTY with a higher capacity of batterie(sic). Due to that, the MIGHTY has 20 % more batterie power."

They did not refer to any other updates, so i think higher battery is the only incremental update. No mention of when this update started(did not actually enquire about this).
I did notice the manufacture date of my Mighty purchased from SB germany is 08-2017(thanks to @MightyLife) and someone else here mentioned that 07-2017 did not have battery sticker. So I assume any Mighty with 08-2017 manufacture should have this sticker.


PS: Loving the Boost Mode.I have set the boost range to 30°C. Generally start my session at 180-190 range. When the vapor starts trailing I boost it to 210 and boom a few more clouds on offer. The mighty then defaults to original temp before switching off.
Of course pressing down the + button for a few seconds is no big deal but i always forget to wind down the temp to 180 before switching it off, hence the next time i start the bowl at 210!! Boost definitely helps absent-minded people like me :)

To me personally there is zero difference in wether I use the boost mode or not, unfortunately :(.
Here is my daily procedure: begin at 175°, take 2 draws and increase the temp by 5° until it reaches 210°. No sense to use the boost mode.
I also like to vape my capsule entirely between 180° and 190° and finally kill it with 210°. Sometimes I did use this mode to boost up to 210° directly, but after restarting the Mighty I still need so decrease the temp from 190° to 180°, so there is no actual reduction in pressing buttons to me.

The boost mode only makes sense when you keep staying on two temperatures only. S&B should also have implemented a adjustable start temperature in my opinion, so that you can increase the temps plus use the boost mode and return to your preferred temperature after turning the device off and on again.

Just my 2 cents, other people may think different about this^^.

You can get a terps heavy pre-draw on the way up, then the target temperature, then boost, so it strikes me as three temperature settings with no muss no fuss.

Great minds think alike! I was just about to say, I really enjoy hitting the mighty from about 250°F to my starting temp of 360°F. Get about two or three taste draws, then have at it!

A really good benefit for me using the Hydratube Is keeping the mighty upright...

WOW......ummmmm......amazing..... not to mention the fun Factor. Take everything you love about the mighty and double it! Anyone who used to love the mighty and maybe hasn't used it much lately, do it through water if you haven't tried it!

I use the bomb. I've been reading that it may rob some of the flavor but I blow such huge clouds and enjoy myself so much I don't even care!

Man oh man I would be super, super excited If I had a hydratube on its way to use with the mighty!:nod:

Thaaaaanks, now I will kill myself if it not arrives today :D

But yeah I agree. Using the Mighty through a water piece is so satisfying. I use a bong now, packed with ice, so that I can take really nice cooled hits, really like that addition of the ice.

Although using a bong isn't as "group-friendly" as using the vape as-is. I can take maybe 5-6 hits from the bong and than it's done. Compare that to my friends who are smoking a joint, and they are not even halfway. Ever since I stopped smoking I am not as much in my group when we are toking up, and I kind of miss that. I will never go back to smoking though (I accidently combusted with my VapCap yesterday after not smoking for a couple of weeks, oh boy that was rough) so I hope the Hydratube fixes this issue and I can vape with my friends while they get high from a joint. Needless to say, cannot wait!!
