It's pretty tough to get out. I used a toothpick to do it once but never bothered again.
I've definitely noticed the temperature drops more and recovers more slowly when the battery is low.
I use both personally. I put a fine mesh screen in the cooling unit, then use a coarse mesh screen to keep the material packed down. Frankly, the coarse mesh screens are kinda useless imo. I wish they'd just include the fine mesh ones.
I just got a new Mighty and I'm not bothering with the capsules. The oven eventually does get a bit grungy, but only over an extended period of time. I cleaned my old Mighty's oven maybe once a year and it still looks pretty good. There's a little grunge around the notch where the screen goes...
Damn the battery life on the new Mighty is INSANE
BTW, for anyone interested, here's what the area around the filling chamber looks like on my 5-year old Mighty
Looking it over, there's really not much evidence of wear except the label is now nearly illegible
Daily, usually more than once a day. I also own MiniVap and Vapexhale but the only other vape I use anymore is my Crafty. My packing level varies but I would guesstimate my typical session is somewhere between the poles you described.
When you say "breaking apart," what exactly is happening...
I think you'll be very pleased. This new Mighty is replacing one I've had for 5 years(!) that still runs fine except the battery doesn't hold much of a charge anymore. And it's only in the last year or so that the battery degraded to the point I felt like I needed to replace the device.
PS...
U.S. I figured it would just ship from Oakland, too, but apparently not.
UPDATE: Looks like it cleared customs and should be delivered tomorrow. Fingers crossed...
Had a chance to try a Grasshopper for the first time and was surprised how much I liked it. Hits were a little harsh straight from the device. Through water, however, the hits were big, smooth, and flavorful. Very impressive device.
Appreciate the tip but I'm in the U.S. where warranties and (contracts generally) don't work that way.
I contacted S&B and they offered me a replacement for $179, which was frankly better than I expected.
Red and yellow lights of death. Pretty sure it's the thermal fuse problem you referenced above.
BTW, does anyone know what if any kind of discount they offer on a replacement unit if you're out of warranty? I put in an RMA request to find out but am trying to decide if I should just pull the...
Nope. That's the remarkable thing about the Crafty. It's the same vapor and bowl size as the Mighty in a smaller body. I've tried vaping with the Mighty cooling chamber on the Crafty and vice versa -- I don't notice any difference in vapor quality.
If I could only have one, I'd pick the Mighty...
I'm tempted to do just that. I love my Crafty, but I think a Mighty+Grasshopper would fit my needs as well or better. The Mighty is sufficiently portable that I can take it outside. And in the situations where I need something more stealthy (e.g., concerts, sporting events, etc.) the GH seems...
I have both. If I could only have one, I'd choose the Mighty no question. But the Crafty is great as a backup when I forget to charge the Mighty. Also, while the Mighty is pretty portable, too, there are times when I'm going through a bag search at a concert or TSA checkpoint at the airport that...
