I went thru 4 Crafty's in about 9 months before I got the more robust Mighty!Dammit!!! , lol, its all good, I'll ride the crafty until it breaks again, and go for the upgrade
Hi Guys, a quick update to advise I received a brand new Mighty yesterday (BNIB) I'm chuffed with the S&B service. I sent it them on the 15th Feb so the whole procedure took 9 days. 2 words Fcuking brilliant.Hi Guys - I recently sent my MIGHTY back to S&B I have detailed the process below, it may be informative to someone.
I had an issue with my Mighty plastics fracturing/ cracking causing the CU to be a loose when connected to the Mighty. This was also causing the whole 3 inch (approx) heat chamber to move if a pushed with a bit of pressure. I got a RMA from S&B (no problems at all) and sent the unit minus the CU back to S&B on the 15/02/17 (cost me £12 for registered delivery, insurance & tracking, I could of sent it cheaper but thought I'd better play it safe as it cost me £280).
S&B contacted me via email on the 20/02/17 to advise they had received the Mighty & I would be contacted as soon as my device was repaired.
They contacted me on the 21/02/17 - I have pasted the correspondence below :

Although I was advised the plastics would be repaired free of charge I wanted to go for a new Mighty as I had dropped my Mighty on numerous occasions (not causing huge damage but obviously it doesn't help the unit) but before opting for the replacement I asked the questions below.
21.02.2017 – Mr *******
Hi, if I went for the replacement at €69 would the mighty be a brand new and if so would it come with new vibration patterns & boost function. Additionally where can I get information on the new functions that the Mighty has.
They replied below:

Hello Mr. *******,
you will then get a brand new MIGHTY.
The booster temperature can be activated by means of a double-click on the orange-colored ON/OFF switch.

Please let us know how you want to proceed.
With kind regards,

With that being said I decided to go for a brand new mighty as it was only going to cost me £61.04 (69 euros) and as I have had this unit for approx 2 years I thought it was a no brainer. I will paste the rest of the correspondence I had with S&B below.
21.02.2017 Mr *******
I would like a brand new Mighty (I would like it to be the latest model Mighty with the boost function and new vibration patterns). I have made a €69 payment to your Paypal account, I have attached a screenshot of the payment.

I am patiently waiting for my brand new 2017 MIGHTY.....My experience with S&B was bliss I have not 1 complaint, I also thought the turn around time was brilliant.
Dammit!!! , lol, its all good, I'll ride the crafty until it breaks again, and go for the upgrade
We'll see you in a couple of months when you come crawling back here Just kidding; enjoy your Crafty
I LOVE foosball!Kicker!
Got my Mighty back yesterday. Very fast service. Total turn time was five business days from the day I mailed it.
The unit was separating at the top by the bowl. Mine was bought in September of last year, so it has the latest hardware already. They fixed the housing, did a deep clean on it, replaced the screen, o-ring, poke tool and the cooling unit. They also upgraded the firmware and included a note that explains how the Boost Mode works.
I'm very satisfied with the RMA experience. My only complaint is that the repair played up the need for a USB port on this thing. The firmware should be user upgradable.
That's great news. Is it your old one back or is it a new unit with new serial number?
Very soon.
After testing, I was a dick and asked @Ratchett to make a couple design changes.
He's a bit swamped, but told me he's on it.
I'm pretty sure he's referring to the loading tray, I've been waiting patiently too!Waiting for what? I want to be excited but I'm apparently too high to find the reference
Me too. But don't want to pester @Ratchett . He be busy.
If he does read the thread, he should send one to another FC member for testing.
I can't get one now anyway. No address. Yay!!
If you are using very small loads, either in the dosing capsule or straight into the bowl, see if you can fit a liquid pad on top (certainly can in the bowl) as this seems to hold the load together for better extraction....better conduction I guess is what it is. I tend to put a Liquid Pad onto off most of my loads unless I really pack the over up to capacity.Hi FC folks,
Former lurker here, who decided to join the forum to try to contribute to the body of knowledge, after learning so much from here.
I'm posting here as the Mighty is my daily driver. Got it since early 2017, and I must confess I'm still surprised by it from time to time. I would say that my learning curve is not complete yet, as sometimes it will sit me on the sofa, other times it would just give me a light buzz. Dialing the temp for the strain is defo very important. In 2016, I got an Alfa, but despite being much more portable (battery life aside) and discrete, has a much bigger learning curve, and the vapor can get hot because of the short path.
I've been using the dosing capsules exclusively, and find them very useful, as many here have said. It's a breeze to (un)load, and keeps things clean. I would normally use 3g of vaporizables to make 14 capsules. Not too packed, just a little. I've noticed that with anything less than 1/2 a capsule, vapor production is not that great. I've noted some reside on the cap's lid at times, but this is easily removed with iso/alcohol.
I don't really use the tool provided to fill the capsules, instead throw the grinded vaprizables into a glass and scoop/press by hand. I find that this goes much faster, and I only need to do it once every so often.
The Easy Flow adaptor is also an interesting idea, but poorly executed. The only advantage I see is that you will spare the CU from getting dirty, but the disadvantages are too many. Instead, I prefer to use a hose from the MF or the Vapir, to then connect to a water tool. These cost a bit more, but considering the price tag on the Mighty, I rather use something that is not going to break my casing.
Something that I have noticed, which I believe to be a bug, is that when connected to the mains, the unit would not vibrate before going into auto shut off. Has anyone else experienced this, or it it just mine?
I use the screen on top as s spacer too (which I prefer in place of the pad).There are dosing capsules with Liquid Pads in it, that would work for very small Loads.
If i don t use the Capsules, i get better Results with an additional Screen in my Bowl on Top of the Load than with Liquid Pad.
YMMV, but before spending Money, test a very small Load directly in the Bowl, Tamp it down, Screen on Top. 210 C and Rip it :-)
Trust me guys - I'm working on it! Hopefully another week or two and I'll have the first draft of my new take on the loading tray to show you.
Long story short, 3D printing just wasn't cutting it for the loading tray. I wasn't happy with the product's quality. So I took the design to a professional who I'm working with to machine the design from some higher quality plastics. The finished product is going to be MUCH nicer than before.
The shift in direction on the tray is the reason for the major delay, I could release the design I have right now, but I'm just not happy with the results
I'll be honest, the first batch will likely sell fast, so be sure to subscribe to my store's RSS feed so you'll be notified when I publish the loading tray product to my store
Packing the bowl directly (as opposed to using the capsules) I can squeeze.24 g's or so in a full bowl. I get at least three 5-7 sessions out of that amount....I'm sure I get as much as 25 hits from some bowls, and at least 18-20 on the low side.Debating on ordering a Mighty (again!) Just a few more questions. How many sessions of about 5-7 hits can this take on one loaded chamber? For example on my pax 2, I get about 3 sessions (with changing temperature) on a half loaded bowl. Thnx!
