Sorry for the back to back but it passed the character limit
Anyway:
13. Portability- Mighty is better to carry conceal. Note that mV when broken into 2 pieces is easier to carry/hide. Note: awaiting the release of mV small battery option which they are researching /developing. For car use and party use, the bigger miniVAP might not be an issue??
Don't forget the loooooong heat up time on the MV. MV is more of a home portable than a proper portable
14. Battery life. miniVAP approx 2X of Mighty. Mighty has very satisfactory batt life though.
Yep
15. Ability to move load mid-session to another piece. I often do this to compare taste or use a different piece. Only miniVAP allows one to easily do this. 3 seconds to move Flexicone
I don't understand- surely it will only take 3 seconds to move ANY vape from one (glass?) piece to another?
16.Allows use of extra batteries and user replaceable battery. Only miniVAP, purchase from Hermes, not aftermarket option
Yep and S&B are taking the piss with how much they charge to change batteries
17. Service from company. I can only speak for US/ North America but miniVAP service with addition of[COLOR=rgb(228, 228, 228)]@stickstones[/COLOR] is now top notch! US S&B warranty service is available
I've had good experiences with both in Europe so far
18. Reliability structure- mV is a tank. Mighty, even revised, seems to have some minor issues with fins etc.
I've dropped the Mighty quite a few times with no issue, which is probably more down to luck than build quality. I haven't dropped the MV yet but tbh I'm hoping not to find out what happens if I do anytime soon
19. Reliability of actual function. I'd say previously a tie with both having issues but now the nod goes to miniVAP as faulty heaters seem to be in the past. Mighty seems to be much better than the Crafty but still power button and firmware and lights of death issues
No real issues with either for me so far. I had a strange month when my MV didn't heat but now it's absolutely fine. I sent the Mighty back (early 10xx model) because the charger broke and the battery meter never showed full, they gave me back an brand new one. Btw firmware and lights of death issues are Crafty specific and do not affect the Mighty.
20. Ability to preload loads, like when out and about. Only miniVAP with Flexicone baskets. Some Mighty users need to also carry S&B loader when out too.
The S&B loader is the greatest thing ever invented. It holds a lot of weed securely. The MV baskets are small (even the "medium" ones) and would spill if you had them in you pocket. You'd need about 10 to come close to the volume of the S&B loader. And let me also add- if you bought 8 baskets, 8 flexicones and 8 screens from the MV store, it would cost you 90EUR!!
21. Stands easily by itself? miniVAP only. When I use a hydratube and remove it, I want the unit to stay standing. When I stack a delicate "layered load" in the Flexicone---I want it stay as crafted and not be dumped over on its side.
You can make the Mighty stand easily by reversing the orange pick.... but there is no need whatsoever with the loading tool.
22. Ease to add degummed hemp filter to filter out tiny herbage pieces and keep them out of my throat and out of my glass reclaim oil. Fits right into miniVAP Flexicone cover
OK
23. Display. Mighty has great, functional display. Love it
Yep
24. Comes with carrying case. Only miniVAP kit.
My MV came with a camera bag you can buy anywhere, it even had the tag saying 'camera carrying case' on it
25. EASE OF LOADING every load. For me, the miniVAP Flexicones are just so much easier to load, being removable and self-contained. Mighty loading is just more cumbersome for me.
For me the complete opposite! I much prefer the Mighty loading tool. I'm allergic to weed like I'm allergic to cats, if I get it in my face and eyes it's the same as rubbing my face in cat's fur. I don't have to touch the weed with my hands at all with the Mighty loading tool. I don't find much difference between emptying the load with either of them
26. AUTO SHUT-OFF. Love the miniVAP 20 minute shutoff but actually wish it was longer.
Mighty 1 minute and now 2 minute shutoff sucks for my use pattern
It resets when you draw or touch any of the buttons
27. Warm up time. Goes to Mighty but I work around it. With 20 minute mV auto shutoff, I just start it a few minutes ahead and IF I want a quick hit, Herbalizer is here for a 30 second session
5-8 mins ahead
Again, everyone has different priorities to picking a great vape but Mighty and miniVAP are both top notch
Agreed
And my quick summary to compare
Taste is better on MV
MV slightly denser clouds
Mighty much smoother
Mighty hits harder
MV better for small loads
Mighty needs less accessories and 'just works'
Mighty better dry
MV better through water (with the delrin adapter)
Mighty more convenient to use
Mighty more portable
MV easier to clean
You can reclaim excellent resin from the Mighty
Mighty cheaper
