The switch is for the heater, it has a heat cycle so you press the handle switch for it to heat up. The orange light near the temp dial comes on and goes off when it's up to temperature. You then inhale away at it and the heating element isn't engaged so the vape naturally cools, even more so when you inhale. After the temperature drops a certain level (depending on setting) you can then press the handle switch again and it will go back up to temp. It's a safety feature, I don't feel like it bothers me too much and the plenty is designed in a way that its difficult to hold and vape and avoid pressing it. If you're using it as intended then it shouldn't bother you. It's not like you need to sit there and constantly worry about a switch in order to vape.
There have been some refinements, I got my model earlier this year and I believe the temperature goes a little higher on mine than the original model.
I have heard that S&B are working on something but I believe this always flies around the boards/chatter. What I would like to see is a digital model- something with a finer temperature accuracy. Much like they did with the volcano. The switch can be a bit of a burden if you're not holding it constantly and I feel like 10 or 20 degrees drop makes the vapour tail off, then you have to wait for it to heat back up.
One thing I would mention is that this is a convection vape with a little bit of conduction a little more so with the reduced chamber so when you start pulling and then you take a rest you can see small amounts of vapour still tailing off from the mouthpiece - this happens with the mighty too. You could consider this to be using your herb when you don't want it to be.
The chamber for the dosing caps is going to cost a little extra. It doesn't come with the reducer out of the box and I feel like I get more puffs/pulls consistently from my mighty (specifically speaking about the caps here) I usually let the plenty do a few heat cycles with the chamber on before popping a cap in there. I'd recommend getting another bottom (orange) section if you can so you're not fiddling around changing all the time and you have both options of chamber on hand.
I bought the plenty as a 'desktop mighty' it is and it isn't. I think it's a bit of a weed guzzler myself. Maybe I need to grind finer or review my technique but I really find best results with a full big chamber. I feel like the stainless steel coil does cool the vapour down quite a bit so it's somewhat a little harder to tell there's anything there at lower temperatures.
With a fully loaded big chamber I get about 1/2 an hour of use pretty much constantly, stepping the temp up as I feel the need. Right up to 7 (top setting). I feel like I need to be more mentally prepared for a full on plenty session. I also feel like it's a little more awkward to pass around (in my vape space anyway) the cable is nice and long but I have computer chairs that I wouldn't want to trap or damage the cable under. When it's hot and you've finished there's no official stand for it other than the brush and I worry about someone knocking it or burning themselves on it.
I do think this is a little more efficient at extracting than the mighty - due to the amount of pulls I can get. It seems to go through herb a little quicker than the mighty does but it may give bigger draws, there's definitely less resistance.
No batteries to charge or worry about degrading. Easy to hook up to a waterpiece for some monster rips. As easy to maintain as the mighty. I've had mine a good few months and haven't touched it with iso. I'm thinking there will be some nice reclaim in the coil.
If you want something you can pop the s&b dosing capsules in with a whip then yes definitely. For me it wasn't as straight out of the box easy as the mighty BUT if you have an endless abundant supply of quality herb OR you're looking to microdose and don't mind experimenting then yes great go for it.
I moved on to the extreme q after the plenty and feel like that's a bit easier to manage dosing/vapour production plus there's a dual option with the bags which I really didn't see me enjoying (felt a little too 'druggy' in looks and behaviour) but it's nice to be able to see what vapour you have there and how much is being produced rather than trying to suck and wondering if there's anything left in the herb (described as quantifiable vapour). Also think the extreme q with whip/direct tastes slightly better. I can also elbow load 0.05g and either get a fairly decent bag or a nice couple of pulls from that. The elbow method is quite similar to the dosing caps and I even put a screen on top of the basket to hold the herb in place and minimise mess/spillage.
I then moved on to the volcano I definitely don't recommend directly pulling/drawing from the volcano. I think the pump is too regulated so when you pull from the volcano you can feel the restriction of the pump and it makes a noise that doesn't sound healthy. It's like you're manually trying to operate the pump. I did hook up a hose from the volcano in to a big glass water dispenser through water which also inflated a balloon. That rocked in my opinion but it needs further experimentation. I just wanted the glass dispenser full of vapour.
I haven't tried other vapes. I know you didn't ask for info about others but just trying to be helpful and sharing my experience. The problem with vapes is you can't just go in to a shop and test one - at least not here in the UK. It's a massive unknown and like I said in another forum no one tells you how you like your coffee you sort of find it out for yourself with guidance and how it's been developed over the years.
My daily drivers are now the mighty and volcano - I use the caps in both but also use different techniques with the volcano (using avb helps a lot also regrinding so it's finer- would also suit the plenty) it's just that the volcano is nice to just sit there and it never really gets moved. The plenty is for special occasions/weekends the extreme q comes out once in a while. Mostly when I have a nice new strain to try. Pretty much exclusively with a whip so the v tower would be an option (no fan, no balloon/bag)
Hope I helped. Good luck
- it's a large heat sink, that keeps temp very stable alone by it's mass even if u draw as hard and long as u can 
so no need for DIGITS, it's a B&D Power tool
