Imagine if it was as easy to clean the bowl as the video suggests
Haha you got me there. I tried almost everything including DC Cleaner. And while I can get the bowl less dirty I never got it really clean again.Imagine if it was as easy to clean the bowl as the video suggests

Since you do have both a Z and a Mighty already, don't you have a feel for how hard a Mighty can hit, in comparison?when thinking about getting mighty (for the past 3 months approximately) i always asked myself what would mighty+ have to offer for me to keep waiting. i always ended up with empty list, only thing i would like to get mighty cheaper
also i wanted to ask if there is anybody who has mighty/crafty and splinter Z and wpa for both of these? at the moment i am using mighty mostly, i take it to go and i use it at home. when i feel like getting a big hit (i use high cbd strains only, so sometimes i want to get some massive clouds to feel bigger effect) i use splinter Z with my waterpipe. but since this happens 2 or 3 times a month my splinter is at the time mostly sitting in my drawer. and here is my question. how does mighty compare to splinter when used with a pipe? can it rip as hard as splinter or is is signifcantly weaker? i am asking because im thinkign about selling my splinter z, but at the sime time i would like to keep the option of getting big bong rips and i am not sure mighty will be able to do it. and i dont want to spend 30euro for mighty wpa adapter just to figure that it can not rip hard.

There are better vapes specifically for bong hits but realistically it probably works well enough for most users. Using an inverted dosing capsule lid is my preference, it basically adds conduction to the top of the load so it’s getting conduction from the sides and above, and convection straight from below. Very even AVB. Can smash through herb quite quickly like this.
IMO, If this vape was not electronically governed to not hit the same temperatures as it’s big brother (Volcano) I think we would see superior effects.
I guess my question would be: Why did the design team limit the maximum temperature on Mighty/Crafty to a value that was analytically demonstrated to be less effective than smoking a joint in previous Volcano studies performed by S&B, A. Hazekamp, and others?
The fact that Volcano Hybrid wasn’t attenuated down to 210C suggests to me they know the conduction aspect is not enough to push the medicinal threshold, hence the premium models still allowing for higher temp capabilities, up to 446F.
I think if Mighty+ was granted that extra temperature range it would seriously even out the competition within S&Bs own hierarchy. But perhaps it’s like Porsche not wanting the Cayman to surpass the legacy 911.
I will say that I’ve re-vaped Mighty AVB in my Volcano and didn’t really get anything, though I find that simply “vaping til the clouds stop” doesn’t necessarily correlate with getting the same effects either.
I'm guessing the limit is because of the plastic. Raise the temps another 10-20F and it might crumble after 6 months usage! Mine has been a trooper but is showing wear, a + could very well find it's way into my arsenal.
Still the original Mighty, one small piece missing up near the top, but fully functional.I thought about that, but the volcano is 20 years old and already goes hotter so they appear to have the capability. Though it does seem a bit different from what my solid valve is made from.
Are you still on your original Mighty? Did it nudge out the Minivap from your regular rotation in your signature?
I'm guessing here:
That upper temp limit at 210C for Volcano Medic and Mighty story:
S&B want to normalize medical cannabis use
Dr. Arno Hazekamp assigned research/testing task
Finds "optimal" extraction temp in lab testing:
S&B agree to 210C for Volcano Medic cert
4 years later, knew they would produce Medic line of Mighty, so easier to engineer upper 210C for entire portable line
I am certain that it can.can a doobie actually extract more medicinal compounds than a "medical vaporizer?"
Wow, that was a very interesting read!
A stand out is the note that 210C seemed to be ideal for vaporizing pure THC - notice that's a long, long way away from the 315F number floating around in vaporizer infographics, and that matches up to a very old third party analytical test done with the Volcano by John Berfelo and others.
I must say I'm not sure I fully agree with Hazekamp that vaporization temperatures should be attenuated to prevent "overdosing on cannabis." I find that to be a somewhat strange premise.
"...At the same time, the amount of THC maximally released into the vapor should not be so high that accidental overdosing can occur (safety)."
Interestingly I found no reference to the other study from Lieden where efficacy was compared between a Volcano and a marijuana cigarette.
This presents a very peculiar premise as this vaporizer was originally $469, so I think its an interesting question: can a doobie actually extract more medicinal compounds than a "medical vaporizer?" I'm not sure if that's true or not, though the medical user I bought the Mighty for did in fact abandon it for a $10 glass one hitter. And that's not a diss on the Mighty, I just find it strange how some people seem immune to vaporization. Whereas some of my favorite vapor sessions of all time was running a Volcano on 5-6, which would probably be considered rather ineffective by analytical standards.
This leads me to a thread idea I've been thinking about making for a while, which is: now that vaporizers, and vaporizables are "stronger" than ever, do people actually feel like they are getting stronger effects than ever? Some of the old timers I talk to feel the herb is less potent/effective than the grass they grew up on, but it's hard to tell if that's true or just the nostalgia talking.

BTW, looking at that diagram you posted it seems that there are more 'noids when vaping versus smoking, not the other way round?
I think "total yield", the black bar, refers to total condensate amount, although it looks like they have written "mg/g of cannabis" at the left side where it maybe could read "mg of matter per g of cannabis"?
The cannabinoids and THC are higher in the Volcano set, while the by-products are higher in the smoke, making up the rest of its total condensate.
Maybe your friends miss/need the by products, or the larger total condensate amounts!?
Replaceable batteries.
I know it ain't gonna happen but it's fun to dream.
That's Crafty+!Would you go for any of the items on this list?:
Less chance of casing cracking,
Faster heat up,
More sessions per battery charge,
Stronger vapor for less amount used,
Slightly updated styling/hand feel with orange logo
Same price and brush but no grinder, filling aid or charger,
Smaller packaging,
USB charging with free cable included.
They could also put on a (larger) LCD screen with touch control. And no buttons.That's Crafty+!
While we're at it, I don't want any bluetooth in my next Mighty, I think I'd go another way if that happens...
and don't make me click anything, like, five times fast...
I'd be okay if they change the screen to an analog temp dial (see, TM) though I haven't had any issues with that.

The volcano delivered more cannabinoids on its highest temperature setting, but the lower temperature settings scored fairly low in comparison to the Volcano at 230C and the combusted joint. It’s definitely not a perfect study either, I believe they only used 50mg of material which is pretty low for a Volcano in my experience. But it’s one of the few pieces of information on vaping available to reference, wish there were more comparisons.
USB-C charging would be a nice add-on too, Even without replaceable batteries, At least you could bring a power bank for a booster pack.
I don't own a Volcano, but I do own a Vapir Rise, which works a lot like a volcano, but with "hooka" options.
They did their own study of vaping temps...(it's apparently age-restricted so you have to go directly to youtube to see it), but here are 2 of the results graphs
