Hello, here's a review that should address the question about the Solo 3 vs Tinymight 2: The Solo 3 is similar to the Tinymight 2 in vapor profile but slightly less powerful and with a much tighter airflow. The airflow of the Solo 3 is similar to Mighty's airflow (maybe just a little bit more restrictive), especially if you pack loosely (I pack a maximum of 0.18 grams in the XL stem and 0.1 grams in the regular one). For those who don't have a Tinymight 2 and are deciding between the two, I recommend the Tinymight because it's more powerful and efficient. However, for those who already have it and are looking for a second vaporizer to enjoy a bit longer while watching a good movie (you can enjoy 10 to 20-minute sessions when using it on lower temperatures), then the Solo 3 is perfect for that. It also has the power to finish a bowl in less than 2 minutes if you are looking for that, but not to finish the bowl in one draw like the TM2 (but you can definitely achieve 1 draw hits with the regular WPA adapter). But I must admit that I haven't touched any of my other vaporizers since Monday (22nd April) night, and don't feel the need to (so the Solo3 does the job well; I still consider myself a heavy user, needing power to satisfy my lungs and it delivers that). This says a lot about this vaporizer; it's excellent but not quite on par with the Tinymight 2 or Venty. If I were to rank it among my other portable vapes, it would be in third place: 1) Venty, 2) Tinymight 2, 3) Solo 3, 4) Mighty. All it lacks is a bit more airflow, which probably would have allowed it to surpass the Tinymight 2 by adding more power to the draw (if the heater can handle it). Also, it's important to remember that it's not a true on-demand vape like the Tinymight 2; the Solo3 has 20% conduction, so after heating the bowl, it takes a good 20 to 30 seconds for the temperature to drop to a level where there's no more extraction, so you either need to remove the stem right after your hit to stop the extraction or continue taking 3-4 additional hits while the temperature drops. I like it because even with my Tinymight 2, I try to take at least 3-4 hits before setting it down. But for those who want to settle for just one hit and set it down without removing the stem, it's not the best choice because the herb will continue to be heated for about twenty seconds after the first hit. Even if you reduce the heating time to a minimum, meaning 5 seconds, the 20% conduction will still have an extraction effect after the heating ends, so it's not a pure "on-demand" like the Tinymight 2.
Part 2 of the review: I discovered something interesting with the Solo 3 that I would like to share with you (it could influence your choice for a new vaporizer). Yesterday, at a friend's house, the Solo 3 battery had dropped to bars and it was flashing red, so I decided to charge it with a USB-C cable found there. I plugged in the Solo 3, but the screen stayed black, nothing happened (it was a 65-watt charger). I tried another old USB-C cable (5 watts, 5 volts at 1 amp), but that didn't work either. When I got home, I used the USB-C cable provided with the Solo 3, and everything worked. I realized that the Solo 3 only charges with USB-C cables plugged into a 15-watt charger, which is 5 volts at 3 amps. If it's not a 15-watt charger (5 volts at 3 amps), it won't work. So yes, the Solo 3 uses a USB-C cable, but the proprietary charger problem remains (as with the Solo 1 and 2). If you don't have a 15-watt charger, you won't be able to charge your Solo 3, so you always need to have the right charger with you. So they provided us with a USB-C port without the flexibility that comes with it, so it's still all about marketing. Their USB-C is equivalent to a micro-usb or any proprietary charger (when the goal of a USB-C charger is to provide flexibility, to be able to charge the device from any USB-C charger, like the Mighty+ or the Tinymight 2). But it's not a game-changer for me and I still love my Solo 3.
Hi, I own a Mighty, Venty, Tinymight 2, and the Solo 3. Here's the ranking from best to worst (although even the worst one is very good lol): 1) Venty, 2) Tinymight 2, 3) Solo 3, 4) Mighty. So, to answer your question, I prefer the vapor from the Solo 3; I find the vapor from the Mighty to be too harsh. Additionally, I prefer the taste from the Solo 3. Here's my review of the Solo 3 where I compare it to the Tinymight 2:
