Officialy a vapor girl :) Returning my new Mighty. (long)

hi friends!!~ so here is my story if you are kind enough to read thru it:

Backstory:
i vape nicotine since quitting ciggies.
smoked cannabis for 15 yrs (since i was 15). the very first time it was 1g to myself and i tripped balls lol. very conservative from then on. never been heavy user. now years later i begin using for medical reasons. within a week, my tolerance rises fast and high - as a fairly hefty amount is required for my needs - and i am getting a bit of recreational fun out of it as well

well i picked up a Mobius matrix sidecar water pipe. bong loads for several weeks. about 4 bowls during the day and 8 bowls thru the night. needless to say my lungs were not happy. it felt like i had started smoking cigarettes again.

First Vape:
so i research for 2 weeks obsessively, on reddit. (unfortunately i found this fantastic forum later). getting familiar w US vendors and vapes. $90 budget. about to pick up a Dynavap when, my budget jumps to $350. yay!! so i figure ill grab a *holy grail sound* Mighty!! *trumpets* *choir* (based on my research at the time that is what the Mighty sounded like in my head!)

well the Mighty is a great solid device. ol' reliable I'm sure. but its no fun.
i use with a WPA into the Mobius. Temp step from 170 to 190 or sometimes 205. it takes me 10+ hits for one bowl. ~3 bowls to "get there." By the end I'm hurting a little bit. I have also tried sandwiching concentrate between flower and it lasts 20+ hits.

Returning the Mighty:
well i asked for some advice on Reddit. semi-helpful comment: "clouds dont come right away it requires a bit of technique + practice." but i think i have a good grasp on the Mighty - due to prior research + instant and thorough experimentation upon its arrival. but i *am* new to vaping cannabis.

one helpful person told me "you wont get flavor with other vapes. if u want bigger clouds u have to combust. the only possible upgrade is the Volcano. maybe vaping isn't for you after all."

finally, the people told me I can't return a used vape. they are upvoted. while I reply that the vendor PoTV lets you do just that, and Ive been in contact with a rep from the start...I am downvoted. good stuff.

Summary:
so i am humbly coming to this forum hoping i can get some in-depth, thoughtful responses to my stoopid vape noob questions!! my own research has put Sticky Brick OG and E-Nano into my head.

on Reddit, the tetra p80 got recommended to me. i would prefer not to faff with any vapes that are hard to order or lacking in custy support.

portability is not my biggest concern. i'm rarely out of the house for too long. it would always be a bonus tho

saving weed is still a concern. idk if its possible due to my tolerance. but *hoping* an on demand that will let me clear in 2-3 hits rather than 8-10 like the Mighty. will be closer to combustion for me.

if you have read all that please catch this virtual hug i'm sendin to ya xoxo. mwah

TLDR: Returning Mighty. Needs are stated above. Considering E-nano, Sticky Brick OG.

Welcome! You've come to the right place for very practical advice.
Not sure what your current budget is?
But for portables my recommendation for convection is the tinymight or tetra p80. I have the TM and it kicks the mighty out if the park imo. The tetra I don't have but covet....

For desktops my recommendation is the flowerpot vrod as it's what I use and love but there are many other options.

Edit. Just noticed you have the elev8r on its way. Good choice from what I have read

Good luck....

ah yes i have the torch elev8r on the way but still have the Mighty's cost to spend: ~$400. maybe i should get both enano and stickybrick? i could afford another 20 for enano wpa. that would give me a nuclear arsenal of options!

i cant mess with less than awesome customer support / long wait time. so no tinymight, and no tetra.

the Flowerpot looks like it would be one of the most fun to just get blasted with.
but i couldn't have that stuff all over my desk. i dunno.
and the Flowerpot definitely doesn't *save* weed, right? "Weedeater" lmao

thank you kindly

Yeah, the fp is a bit science project. I like that but for some, no. Check out the vapbong as that looks gorgeous.

I don't have either of the portables you mention. But I would look at the TM, tetra or firewood 7. I have the TM and it is a serious desktop competitor. Sometimes when I can't be bothered getting the fp to heat I can hit the TM in seconds and I'm there. I really like how the convection vapes have progressed recently.....

Good luck and let us know which way you go......

• I own a Weedeater

Using the glass bowl, I can put a small amount and get 3 or 4 excellent hits. So I fill the bowl half full or full depending on how much medicine I need.

So a little bit goes a LONG way.

U said having a high tolerance but temp step from that low.. and for that long.. it wasn't the mighty the issue..

Low temp cause u don't like the (straight) high temp taste ?

Personally, I think you were on the right track initially with a DynaVap and every serious vaper needs a bullet-proof, "zombie apocalypse" type device in their arsenal... without question. And I recommend not wasting your time either with an M and go straight for an Omni (or, tho I've never used one, at least a Ti Vong)... then adding a quality induction heater takes it to a whole other level.

Is it "the best vape in the world" (wtf that means?)...? Imo, no way, not by a long shot. But it more than makes up for that with its extreme level of customizability... and then go from there (hello VAS...!)

as always ymmv.... blah blah blah

edit: also, judging from your post, have you considered dabs...? I call it "micro-dosing with a high tolerance"... heh

Agreed Mighty is overrated, continually called the best portable even though I wouldn't probably have it in my top 10.
Starting with the Elev8r is a good move. My advice is enjoy this awesome glass vape through your Mobius for awhile and you may be satisfied with your second choice because it is better. The Elev8r is efficient but rips through weed very fast as well. It will not help your tolerance but will definitely help with the lack of fun. Make sure to get a big torch.
Keep the money, it will go towards the enail setup when you take the Elev8r electric later on, with change for more stash.

What if you just use your Mighty on the max setting (210°) through the WP and finish it in less hits?

My mighty just died from a break. Which one could you recommend me as a portable battery vaporizer?
I have in my options tinymight, Tetra p80, crafty + (I do not like that it does not have interchangeable batteries or that it can be used while charging), dotleaf (I read good and bad things). Which one do you think is above the rest?
I use vapcap every day since he died and I also have an Extreme Q that I have not used for a long time. Thanks in advance

Firstly @~vapeslut.xo~ welcome to the forum

The elev8r is my favourite, it's a great heavy hitter and will finish your equivalent mighty load in probably 3 hits. You'll love it as a bong smoker.

If you want an electronic device I would seriously reconsider your opinion of the tiny might. They have had some customer service issues but that's in the past. Most reports of recent cs interactions are very positive. There is a language barrier, that can't be denied. My TM is almost a year old and hasn't missed a beat short of keeping on top of cleaning the battery contacts.

Good luck in your quest

The E-Nano is a very efficient vape, with a powerful heater that does a number on .1g load in one or two hits for me. However, it has its own set of considerations, it's not magic so if you have or develop a tolerance problem you still have to deal with that first and not depend on the vape to fix it for you. Lastly fast CS is not EpicVapes strong suite, it takes time but in the end they provide very reasonable care. I am a real fan of the device and I have tried to be honest.

Welcome vapeslut!

You have a world of vapes to explore over time. If you are anything like everyone else here, you'll be buying vapes for the rest of yout natural life. It becomes a sickness. $400 is a lot to spend in the beginning on one device. My days of spending that much on one device is probably over, unless the damn thing can paint my house too. You can get a couple solid vapes for that same price, and maybe graduate to something higher when you really know what you like.

I have heard some good things about the elev8r so you should have fun playing with that. While not technically a plug-in, I don't see the elev8r as a move around the house or vape on the go device. I would recommend an e-nano and they are def an excellent vape for consistency, flavor and microdosing if needed. That said, they are not portable in any sense so you'd be adding another stationary vape with that, although one is butane and the other electric.

You should think of covering your bases for what you want to do. Do you want a mix of plug-in, battery and butane powered? You said that portable is not a big factor, but do you want something to take around the house or backyard? You mention having some concentrates, so whether you want some devices to handle both or something that just blasts dabs also?

I agree with @Bologna on the dynavap option. You mentioned wanting a fun vape that you can extract in less hits. Dynavaps certainly fit that bill for me, and they work well with flower and/or concentrates. You don't need to only use butane either as there is an explosion of induction heater options to add to the dynavap experience.

Another fun world exists in concentrates. There are enails, dab rigs, e-rigs, 510 mods and dab pens.

For $400, you can get a couple well made devices that would be fun to switch back and forth rather than blow your wad on one fancy vape that you're locked in to.

My father got into vaping a few years back. He didn't talk to me first and spent a bunch on a Pax which was fine at first, but then used too much weed at a time for him and the thing started getting glitchy for a lot of money. I set him up with a dynavap M (although he graduated to omni later) and a Caldron IH by @Pipes. He is happier than a big in shit now.

I have hit it straight from 190c for a session. Same for 200c and other temps.
I've temp stepped from super low, medium and a high range.
Dry & glass mouthpiece. Through Mobius sidecar, then through Sneaky Pete Mega Globe (10x better).
I've smoked about 30-35 bowls total.

Thanks...I think StickyBrick would be better than Dyna... it seems to be the same but heavier-hitting & maybe harder to use? Not exactly the same of course...but comparable. i dont mind a learning curve. if u think Dyna is better I'm all ears tho! thanks hon

When I woke up today I wasn't excited to use my Mighty. I was like "aw yay im gonna get high this morning!" then I went "ahh but I hafta use the Mighty "

i dont mean to be high maintenance...its just NO FUN! lmao

PS yes i dab biweekly! it gets me zonked lol

hi Thick Vape! i have tried this. well my lungs can do a large hit or two but repeated hitting makes me choke!
and at max temp the Mighty still takes ~8 hits through a Mega Globe to finish.

ya know i just read a comment that summed up how EXACTLY I feel. let me paste it here:

I got the mighty as my first dry herb vape. I thought I understood what session vaping meant, but apparently not because I was never really a joint/blunt smoker or even a social smoker for that matter. Coming from one hitter bong land, I really hated sitting there for 10-20 minutes continually puffing. After using it regularly for 3 days I felt like I was coughing more than before because of how frequently I needed to puff just to get the buzz I was used to. I also felt obligated to finish the bowl every time because the heating/cooling process will cash it a little bit. It was really expensive and had way too many moving parts that needed to be maintained/replaced. I eventually returned it for a dynavap. I personally enjoy the much faster extraction.

now, not have to be Dynavap, but on-demand should suit me more. as i was taking bong one-hitters too

hi Cheebsy! thanks for your reply. i just dont think any portable battery vape is for me. perhaps it is too close to my regular e-cig vape & feels boring. i want the combo of something fun and something plugged in. if you have any other recommendations let me know!

If I was you, and your start sound a lot like mine, I would buy a Elev8r heater on a coil to give you a non torch option. I use the Elev8r both ways often! For a portable solution I can't recommend the TinyMight enough. If you want a touch of beauty in your life and you like huge alien dingdongs, the Aromatizer by Colly Land is top of my list too. After I got these vapes I stopped buying and started selling my collection.

hi howie! i dont think its so much a tolerance problem as a time problem.
with the Mighty I get high over ~10 minutes.
when i was combusting it would take 30 seconds.

i'm sure technically, if you measured THC, i would be off the charts right now but its not as satisfying as one big hit.
if the e-Nano hits harder (extracts faster) than the Mighty, that sounds good to me...

If you have elev8r on the way buy the glass balls and coil for it. You will get flowerpot results with spending less since you already own the elev8r. Vgoodiez is pretty good about the coils and pid for it. Then remainder buy a 510 vape for fast full extraction on demand. Got a good desktop and portable setup. Fwiw my daily drivers are flowerpot, tetrax, musa 510 and I haven’t played with much but my tokedvapors is pretty beastly I use for out and about projects in the yard

i only used my flowerpot with the megaglobe, it works well. I think a log vape like the E-Nano or Underdog, or a bigger hitter like the Silver Surfer, Ditanium, Flowerpot would be best if you are looking for a desktop.

Otherwise a Dotleaf, Tinymight(The customer service isn't bad anymore nor are the shipping times), Taffe Bowle for a portable

hi BabyFaced! omg your entire post rang so true.
you are certainly correct about mixing it up.
glad I'm returning the Mighty.

i am thinking of maybe getting the e-Nano and Sticky OG.
with the incoming elev8r, that would be a nice arsenal!
w/ the eNano i always have an option if i am out of butane.

It really depends on the portable, if you are comparing it to session conduction devices like the mighty and pax then yeah they are boring and weak, not very efficient, and yet ecig cartridge easier! On demand battery powered portables are much more practical and versatile, so it depends what you're comparing to really...

Yeah those three would be a solid upgrade, I would suggest underdog or heat island instead of enano, heat island is my favorite and can be had the cheapest, you have to email Alan to see what he has in stock, he makes a lot of different versions and different sizes and so many different stem options...

Sticky brick OG is great, good way to feel like smoking a bowl, very strong hits very simple and effective, a lot of fun to mix it up, elev8r too for a different style, I would not bother with dynavap as these two are far superior in my opinion (they are pure convection on demand as opposed to the hybrid conduction of dynavap, they also have larger chambers)

If you want sticky to be more portable, go with the junior or the runt, they all really work the same...

Yeah it's not really the same as a battery powered portable that you can use anywhere though, the tinymight is very impressive, like if you want fast extraction it is a phenomenal device to have, you can slow down the extraction with temp stepping as it has a full wide range with the dial, that's what I like to do, but you can also take one hitter rips through water if you want! The versatility is really amazing... It is a bit pricey, but if you order now it should be in your hands within 2 weeks, and the customer service has really stepped up this year!

I also love the firewood7, it is similar to TM in use, but instant on demand hybrid conduction instead of instant on demand pure convection battery-powered... Trust me these are nothing like the mighty, that slow session conduction sucks, these are my top two portables now easily!

And yeah check out Collyland if you want to see desktops that are anything but boring! Gorgeous glazed ceramic monster vapor bongs! Not cheap though, also not available right now either...

And yes yes welcome welcome!!

gosh i hate being a picky bitch

im now considering just ordering the E-Nano. returning the Mighty for a refund.
then actually testing the Elev8r and the E-Nano before I order a Sticky or anything else.
