Good thought.
Been there, so fully understand the sentiment.
We'll that's the nature of the beast when it comes to vapes, you gotta compromise. Unfortunately, no vape has it all. For me, the Flowerpot (desktop) is perfection, but it even has a flaw - you can scold yourself severely with it if you don't pay attention. For portable use, the Z & the Ghost come as close to perfection as I need to be. So, I'm blessed I found 3 vapes that completely suit me.
Darn shame that time is not on your side. I wish you good luck in filling your niche.
yeah that store has a tuboevic in stock.Much luck with your decision!
I think weedgadget.com in italy has a tubo in stock.
Besides this, i would also suggest a splinter (Z) or a Mighty...
The Splinter is quite easy to use if you stick to Wattage mode and the Mighty is VERY easy and consistant in use, don t think too much about cleaning and the Battery life is really good, plus Pass through loading.
I have a very stupid question, if the internal battery completely die (after years of usage), can you still use the device with the pass through? (i mean attached to the charger).Much luck with your decision!

Ghost mv1 for sure, swappable batteries, swappable crucibles, fast charger and crucible holder is must have to enjoy this vape
Dynacap vapcap, get it in titanium, get a stash box, a simple lighter
Da vinci iq with the glass spacers is good, get the sleeve as it can get hot during summer
Milaana is good too
Sticky brick jr is a heavy hitter as well
I used arizer stems for months without cleaning...a year before cleaning with iso.IDK why the Mighty gets this rap as having all these parts to clean, the only thing you have to do is ISO soak the cooling unit for 10 seconds once a week or so. I don't find it taking any more effort than cleaning an Arizer stem.
I'd always recommend a desktop for people looking for a real heavy hitter though.

In my country the weed is shit and with a terrible taste, i don't care if there is some marmelade in the stem, the airflow remain the same.
Is not the same with the mighty, if you don't clean the device every 1-2 week the performance are not the same.
And for my needs, dismantle and soaking different parts in a plastic bag with iso is messy enough to be a major flaw.
I know i know i'm an unreasonable lazy mofo lol.
I usually only clean the part when i put the weed with a brush and it's like new.That's disgusting... like drinking out of the same cup for a whole year.
Arizer stems let so much particulate through too which gunks them up fast. Cannot even imagine using the same one for 365 days.
That's not a bad summary of the complaints folks have with some of your choices.I already have an air, a grasshopper and a dynavap, i don't need another mid tier vaporizer for now, i can bring them in my trip but i want something better to use during my amsterdam trip (in my country i have ultra-shitty weed so i really want to vape good weed at least one time a year with a great and powerfull vaporizer)
The splinter and most of the 510 box are a little to big for me, also they don't seems really consistent like a mighty...i read about people who combust, people who don't have much vapor etc., I work all day and i don't have the time and patience of learning a new way of vaping with those things (again, my fault but it is what it is).
I'm studying like a crazy but every vape in my list has a deep flaw that i really don't like...
The mighty need a lot of cleaning, also not-swappable batteries.
The ghost doen't seems consistent like a mighty and the price of battery and fast charger is absurd, also it needs a lot of cleaning and battery life is not that great
The fierce lack of flavour and the vapour can be harsh without glass piece.
The boxmods are kinda complicated and too big
Every other vape is not available and i'm not sure if they can arrive to me in time
The tera is harsh and with plastic taste.
I'm going crazy lol...

I wanted to say again: the session vapes, including the Mighty, aren't the best option for flavor because they all have an herb chamber that gets hot for the entire session. If you're just talking about vapor quality generally then I think you'd enjoy the Mighty because it's easy to use and produces vapor at low temps. But it's doing that with a lot of conduction and is not on the level of a Splinter Z for flavor because it's a session vape with an entirely plastic airpath.
I have both and use both. I mainly use session vapes for sharing because on my own I prefer not to take five or ten draws in a row during a 3 to 6 minute session. With the Splinter cooling stem you full a stainless steel screen with about .1g and hit it at 30-40W depending on whether you're trying to enjoy the terps in the early hits or just going for rapid extraction. The versatility and control are features; it's incorrect to assume from reading about it that Splinter performance is inconsistent. It's a great device that you can move from one mod to another as needed, use with small or large bowls, low or high temps, with or without water. It's a beast.
If you want a straightforward experience and easy, fluffy vapor you can totally get a Mighty. The cleaning can be annoying but the whole top part (called the Cooling Unit) can be replaced eventually if need be. It doesn't compare directly to on demand devices though. It's a different thing.
It's also worth noting that the Mighty is not very efficient and you'll go through weed faster for the desired dosage than you would with some of your other options. I use my Mighty for sharing because, especially with folks new to vaping, it's idiot-proof.
Finally, your subject says you're looking for a heavy hitter and session vapes are not heavy hitters. I'd estimate I take two or three hits on a session vapor to every one hit of a convection vape like the Splinter, Lil Bud, Tubo, or Sticky Brick for a similar effect.
my list right now in order of interest:Go with the Ghost Mv1
The Fierce is a good alternative to the Mighty. Get the xl bent glass stem and put a dome screen in it to improve the draw resistance. With that setup it's like a Solo II but with Mighty draw resistance so the clouds are bigger.my list right now in order of interest:
mighty\ghost
fierce\tera
box mode
i'm studying.
i need some more feedback for tera and fierce, i'm probably gonna ask some question in the respective OT.
the fierce and tera are kinda jacks of all trade in every aspects, i'm intrigued but not really convinced.

When Troy or Sneaky Pete call a session vape a heavy hitter they likely mean that it extracts well and you can get big clouds from it. The Mighty, Fierce, and Tera all fit that description. What I'm saying is that if you pack .3g in a Mighty you'll have to hit it maybe fifteen or twenty times to finish it. You can vape that amount in three or four big hits in a Sticky Brick OG. I never use my Splinters for large loads (filling the whole glass joint rather than just a small basket screen), but even the .15g or so in a Splinter basket can be more of a 3-4 hit rapid extraction if that's what you want just by going high wattage/temp and stirring between hits. Session vapes are just now playing catch up with the cooling stems too.
I admire the diligent research but you really need to own these vapes and put them to work to appreciate their personalities. For example, Troy frequently reminds people that the Mighty is his all-time favorite portable but doesn't mention that the proprietary charger is annoying or that you can't even stand it up to fill it unless you buy a $15 plastic stand to stick on the bottom that somebody else had to 3D print for us because storz & bickel almost never updates their products. =P
If you want a heavy hitter (as in fewer hits to fully extract) you should limit your options to on demand convection vapes. If you want easy setup and like to take a bunch of draws in a short time period (which Troy has said is his preference) then a session vape will be more satisfying for you. I don't think Troy has even tried TC mode with his Splinters and neither he nor Sneaky Pete had paired a Splinter with a dna mod last I checked. Even finding someplace to buy a dna mod is another headache but it's worth mentioning that a Splinter Z on a DNAc mod is amazing.
In one of my past trip to amsterdam i tried a crafty for a couple of days and i wasn't impressed by the device, and i remember something similar to you experience with the mighty (after that i returned the crafty to the store).That's useful info about your habits and your experience with your current vapes.
I don't recommend the Tubo anymore because, while it's a wonderful performer, it's just a high surface area on demand vape connected to a box mod and you no longer need to spring for a Tubo price or wait time now that devices like the Splinter and Splinter Z are available that leave the mod pairing to you. Like the Tubo, the Splinters are also kinda clumsy since they use a glass stem that's even less firmly connected than your Solo.
Your added details about temp stepping would lead me to recommend the Fierce over the Mighty. One of my least favorite things about the Mighty is that it just stops producing vapor at some point and the weed isn't that dark. It also only heats to 210°C so temp stepping is less rewarding.
The plastic, silicone and glass used in the black mouthpiece for the Fierce doesn't deliver the best flavor. What it does do is make the Fierce a pocket vape with no extra pieces to carry and no exposed glass to break. The included short glass stem is pretty harsh at higher temps. The bent stem with a screen in it is how I use mine most often. If I were traveling I'd take the bent stem too and only use the black mouthpiece when I had to.
The affordable mod to get for a Splinter is the Wismec rx gen3 dual. The size is pretty ergonomic and with two Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC5A batteries it'll have decent battery life. The big heater does take a lot of juice though and that's just the price you pay for such impressive on demand convection.
I have a Lil Bud and recommend it for folks who enjoy unregulated on demand convection vaping (which I do). My one complaint is that it's never as consistent an experience for me and seems to sag as the battery drains. The Lil Bud Elite is a newer device and I've considered selling my Lil Bud and getting one. Without that as an excuse it just seems like another Splinter rival that costs fifty percent more like the Tubo.
For a heavier consumer like you I'm gonna say get a Splinter and a Wismec rx gen3 dual at some point even if you decide it's not right for this trip. Get the short and long cooling stems and the gong adapter too. There are other 510 devices but the Splinter and the Splinter Z are capable of satisfying the most demanding users and the more you explain the more it sounds like a good fit. The folks on the Splinter threads here on FC are super helpful and everyone gets up and running once they get familiar with the mod settings. And the great thing about wattage mode is you don't need to do any configuration, just hold the button down and rip.
I got two of these tubes to protect my long XL8R cooling stems for travel:

Yeah the grasshopper is the ultimate stealth device.I am a brand new mv1 user here, coming from a davinci iq. I am totally happy with my mv1, easy to load a bunch of crucibles, if you inhale slow and low you get consistent clouds. I have been using mine consistently everyday since I got it. convection is awesome so pure, great flavor, vapor in not never harsh, quick heat up plus you don't waste your herb. if you stop midway through a crucible, you can jump back on it an hour later, or even the next day, still taste the same, very nice! I cant really complain about anything with mv1. only complaint I have is that they should include the crucible holder and fast charger in the box all the time, not just during a sale, or at lease make the battery and charger a lot cheaper way too expensive in my opinion for what it is. IMO those accessories are a must with the mv1. I have a dynavap vapcap "m" 2019 as back up, but I haven't had a chance to try it. my friend is supposed to let try his firefly 2, but he doesn't like it, he liked my mv1 much more. I am dying to try a grasshopper this looks like the vape james bond would carry.
