@laavamara , your right, unmodified, it's not a good fit.(if it fits at all).
So my thoughts after receiving them were a bit like :well they(vapefiend)can put this
useless thing were it FITS......
Now if you look at the original CU connection you see 2 lips which closes the connection,
The shape of those lips is what you should try to coppy on your vapefiendadaptor.
i found it very easy to do with a dremelmultitool.
A little file would get the job done too.
So the lips starts low and ends high, at the same time you work from the otherside and do the opposite.
I would love to post you a picture of that but i do have my own private reasons,i really just can't ,sorry.
after this mod. its works and fits perfect.
The reason i went to this trouble is that i have a extreme allergy to epoxy, soooo, no muzzmod. for me.
Even just touching it can send me in to rashes for weeks....(this is a build up allergy after years of yacht building)
I like them sooo much(the 14 and 18mm i use both in different glass pieces)that when i broke one glass,(dropped it on a concrete floor...which resulted in all shattered glass bits), i ordered a few more of each of them.
.P.s. i am a very heavy vaporist,and i haven't broken my mighty yet after 8.5 months of abuse.(do have cracks running though, but that has nothing with the adaptor to do but more with the plastic of the mighty not able to handle the heat of multiple sessions in a row......

I put a cushion tab on my replacement because the vibration wears it off it seems. Actually it is the foam from the pull hangers so I can take it off if needed with no residue.

Where can I find mods for the mighty ready for a 14mm water tool, or if someone can post their mod, that would be great.
Has anyone used a vapor tamer with the Mighty? How effective is it at cooling down the vapour?and does it retain the same potency?

Here's an odd and minor observation about the new Mighty charge adapter I received as a replacement recently. (It replaced original that came with Mighty SN 23XXX in Fall '15).
The plug that goes into Mighty is mounted at right angle to cord, similar the older one, though unlike promotional photos of original straight plugs.
This new adapter's right angle plastic/rubbery part is slimmer than on the previous, just by enough so it can now rotate fully around, while the old one was blocked from doing so by the switch and/or housing. The old one may have brought unnecessary pressure on the plug itself at times(?).

i use this http://www.vapstore.de/Crafty-Mighty-Easy-Flow-Wasserfilter-Adapter
works
a bit less vapor than with the CU attached to a whip to a d020d

That looks like the exact one I ordered. Does it give you bigger rips through the water tool than just hitting it dry?

like i said, i have the impression the CO manages to produce thicker vapor. dont know why.
without the CU with the adapter the clouds are smaller.
dry and with water
aaaaaand you have to be careful not to twist the adapter to tight into the mighty.
a less than 40° clockwise turn/twist is enough
i have the 2.0 housing

That's interesting. With my Air hooked up to a water tool I get way bigger clouds than just using it dry with the stock stems. I hope I don't regret buying this adapter.

That's the one everyone also refers to as the Vapefiend adapter.
The negatives people talk about are
1. Screen too far from load. Solutions are a. add oil pad to fill space. b. use a 'pac-mac' cut top screen atop load (may scratch bowl?).
2. Poor fit, as described by @Green Kiwi and others. Solution is to file or machine a better fit
3. No positive 'stop' when rotating into position. It is possible to crack Mighty's housing by over-tightening.
I also think this thing has some good things going for it, over, say, the Muzzmod. No adhesives used, for one thing. I've made two muzzmods, and love their function, but eventual separation of glass/epoxy in both has led me to stop using them (after scores of high temp sessions, to be sure).
I don't understand what you guys are talking about with clouds and the adapter or water and all. In my experience, taking the c/u out of the equation gives more vapor, cloudy or otherwise, all else equal, so I like both of these the GonGs for that.
As the video above shows, Mighty can produce voluminous vapor with c/u in place as well. I think we're talking about relatively small differences in these methods compared to say, temperature.
Since I've stopped using Muzzmod and don't have the other one, I've gone back to just what the critic is doing in that video, using an arizer right angle water adapter (these are 18mm male) onto my glass, which is made from a mason jar and a 5 inch glass downstem with shower head (from Oregonglassblowers). I custom made the lid to the mason jar to receive the downstem and a second arizer right angle glass adapter, for whip tube. I replaced that plastic arizer whip tubing with silicone. All my glass is 18mm gong. Just to add, most sessions lately have been at 205C.
I guess, and to round out this discussion, I can state that I think there's some loss of vape in my long vapor path, so I think the D-020, etc probably give a bigger hit; it's more direct. I am, however, quite happy with the hits I'm getting! I might go for more potent flower, but the hits are just fine.

been playing with the mighty water tool and capsules today.
i have a bigger clouder namely "de verdamper" and i have tastier vapes solo/air.
but the convenience of mighty + capsules + watertool + short hydrotube is very nice.
almost clinical but a nice short ritual.
the silicon whip attached to the mightys CU on a male 18mm EQ elbow in the small d020 is the best waterfiltration for the mighty i think.

I've been playing with the caps also. I think they are easier to open/close after a short wear-in period. They were difficult for me for first couple of times, now fine.
Yes, clinical. For me the whole vaping experience has been one of adapting to new methods. I was initially so turned off by the use of a device at all...
I may be entering a rare time when budgeting stash is critical.
These caps could also turn out to be "Budgeting Capsules".
Mr.Sifter
Well-Known Member
yes, and á propos budgeting.
somehow the mighty produces nice vapor and effect between 172°C and 192°C.
i rarely go higher in temps.
both portables arizer i vape dry at approx. 195°C and finish through water on max/7/red 210°C
the mighty has "mightier" effects 20° beneath that.
one capsule a little more than half filled produces 5-7 hits through the small bubbler.
one could get 2-3 more but these would have to be above 200°C and that is not very tasty and there are no important cannabinoids-spectrum for me to extract.
i vape high CBD strains 1:1 ratio. 185°C is sufficient.
ergo, more goodies an in my light brown a little greenish ABV for butter and oil.
wow, putting the caps in the mighty bowl works like a charme.
no contact to "material"
think of it as you like.

Any experience on turnaround time once they recieve the unit? Just sent a message asking to confirm that they had received it (tracking showed it was delivered), but all I got back was a message saying
"Greetings,
Thank you for the update on your device. Once it has been received you will be contacted in 5-7 business days.
We thank you for your patience and we will continue to process all repairs in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
Storz & Bickel""
Has anyone actually had to wait 5 days? With the mixed reviews about S&B's support I wouldn't be surprised.
I really want them to just send me a new one. But how do I express that without sounding greedy![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")

Went to S&B in Oakland today (I live in San Francisco) I'm always impressed with the very friendly service there. I know that on this thread and more so on the Crafty thread there are some complaints about spotty customer service , in person I have only good things to say.
Anyway, I picked up some dosing caps, much to my own surprise. When I first saw them online, they seemed an unnecessary accessory. When I heard they were for one time use, I thought kind of an environmental waste. Sort of like coffee K-cups.
I had achange of mind and can see some distinct advantages. First off, with a bit of care, these things could be re-used quite easily.
The interesting thing about them is that it changes the vaporizer making it much more into convection, way less conduction. Far easier on the throat and tastier.
Also the bowl stays super clean. Less chance of inhaling small particles.
Finally, I was amazed by how little herb I needed. I like variety, now I can buy individual grams and actually have repeated sessions, rather then having to buy eights. Made my day

How does it change the device from less conduction to convection? And easier on the throat.Please explain
Im on a break because of throat irritation.
I just got my capsules today in the mail! Does anyone here wash the capsules before use? Or do you just plug and play.

i think @sanfranciscosadhu means that the material does not touch the walls of the heating element.
this wall ring produces the heat. (am i right?)
however the caps touch the walls but not that much.
place the bigger part of the caps in the mighty, you will see how it fits.
but there is a small rim (?)

They got mine yesterday and acknowledged it with form emails today, and a link I can use to check its status.
The only status I want is to hear a replacement is on its way to me. Fingers crossed that happens real soon

I believe a small flat file would do it, or possibly a medium/coarse emory board, though that may not be rigid enough for good result.can anyone post a picture or guide how to modify vapefiend shit adapter?
edit: ok I don't need guide but with what hand-tool (not dremel) I should use?
