Wow these mixed responses have made me even more hesitant to buy the Mighty. From the posts, most people are pretty happy with their Mighty, but things like the heating time (I am impatient by nature and pretty obsessed with time efficiency) and the irreplaceable battery (I am quite a heavy user so would need to replace it at some stage) are making me reconsider. But I guess I can take comfort from the fact that if I do end up settling on the mighty, I am getting a decent vaporizer that I will be happy with despite said drawbacks.
Every time I post about my quest to find the right new vape, a few people mention some new somewhat obscure vape that I then spend a while researching. Now I am looking into the Ghost MV1 and the Stempod. I even started to reconsider the Firefly 2 plus. Being familiar with the FF2 all these years, there would be no learning curve. My biggest drawbacks with the FF2 are the lack of consistent big vapor clouds (seems to be strain dependent) and related to that, the draw resistance. Second to those is also the airflow holes in the bottom of the bowl seem to get clogged over time. To that measure, does anyone know if the airflow needle available for the FF2 + will fit in the FF2 holes? It was my intention to swap bongs with vapes but the FF2 has not allowed me to do that. It almost seems like a chore to have to charge it up, pack it and then hope that you get decent clouds, while having to strain your throat. If the FF2 plus is not significantly better in the areas I mentioned above, then I won't go there. I will wait for the FF3, but I haven't heard boo about when that will be coming out. I would love some honest feedback from anyone who has bought the FF2 plus that has also owned the FF2. I read some reviews and I am getting mixed reports about the draw resistance. Some, including Firefly themselves, claim that it is drastically improved, whereas others are saying if you already have the FF2, the improvements in the model do not really make it worth upgrading when factoring in the cost. And another reviewer, saying that you have to kind of master the draw technique to get the intended performance out of it, his exact words were "super tricky" until you get the hang of it (I think that he also said the Ghost was like that too), which is exactly how the FF2 is also, and is one of its aspects I don't like. I want something that is very user friendly to the point where a friend can come over and use it and get the optimum vape performance right off the bat. I have tried a volcano in Amsterdam way back when, and liked the vapor quality. My only other experience with a vape, apart from the FF2, is a friend's Arizer Solo, and the vapor quality left a bit to be desired. Kind of gave every herb a minty taste and taste the same, and you lost the subtle flavor nuances of each strain. I will send Tiny Might an email about my order as I haven't actually asked them about why it never went through. If I don't hear back I will move on and get something else. Like I said, it has been about 4 or 5 weeks since I ordered, they did not take the money from my Visa CC and it is now past the point where they can't, even if they tried, and the order is still saying pending.
The vape criteria I am looking for in summary: Thick vapor clouds, minimal draw resistance; portable; great tasting vapor that retains a good resemblance to what it would taste like if smoked (that is very important, I want to be able distinguish strain from strain very easily, and detect the subtle flavor nuances and terpene profiles of each strain); as close to like a bong as possible in usage, operation and also in regards to time taken to start producing vapor (as instant as possible); ideally easily replaceable and readily obtainable batteries that last a long time not only in terms of charging but also in lifespan; durable so that I won't have to replace it for many years; something that I will look forward to smoking just as much as my bong; adjustable temperature range at least up to 230 C; and a vapor pathway made from safe materials (not plastic).
Cheers everyone, maybe I will post this last post as a brand new message rather than a reply. Let's see how this goes first.
