The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

Thick Vape

In the Ballpark
I am familiar with that video, it's awesome content and good to see again. But I guess it leaves more questions than answers considering the metrics are so wildly different in the results that S&B found. I suspect this could simply come down to thermocouple location and/or the way the display temperature is measured versus the air temperature, but there's probably plenty of additional variables as well.

Few observations though: THCV is falling way off on the cannabinoid chart which is intrguing as most sources cite THCV as having one of the highest boiling point cannabinoids, at 428F. So its interesting to see it fall off before D9-THC?

Another interesting one is how much terpenes are destroyed by starting at a hotter bag. A lot of people mention trying to cache a bowl with various vapes in one hit under the premise of "getting all the terps" but you can see how having a vape hot enough to crush a bowl in one hit will realistically destroy a lot of the flavor compounds.
One of the reasons for the observations of THCV could be that there was just very little THCV in the sample and it mostly evaporated already before reaching the boiling point, giving a peak lower than the BP.

There is also a possibility of boiling points changing somewhat in a substance mix.

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

Here's a link the the video:

I have no Mighty now and my Crafty needs a phone to change, so I tried this with my Hybrid.
Instead of heat soaking at 446F like normal for me, I went down to 380F and tried it. Was very surprised how much effects I got, but less throat hit.
Still dont think I get less effects at the higher temps? Not yet anyway!
I guess that explains why the default boost temp was just 195c/383f in a Crafty and Mighty.

Hi, @blackstone ,yeah my preference is always as low as possible, that helps massively with allergie and is smooth on the lungs and throat.Having said that🧐, some times the herb grown by different people, in different grow situations, demand's for different temperature....
Also how dry or humid makes a difference I feel.
Hell, I am just discovering:even the grind(I prefer"mill"now)makes a difference.
When I was last time in Holland(just before Covid🙏thank god),I vaped my mates homegrown at ,at least 195c, otherwise there was just no vapour.... it was potent stuff though and lasted long in the bowl.
here at home with acces to the most organic grown herb you can possibly lay your hands on, and nice and slow dried(2 weeks), I get vapour clouds from 174c upward's .
The thing I still have trouble to believe it's real, but it is :when I vape on 160 to 170 with the mighty or crafty+, I see no or hardly any vapour clouds at all(yes I do with a torch in the dark, but I prefer to vape just in normal outdoors light:ninja:), but if I just vape till taste has gone at that low temp(yummy delicious low temps vapour), I am absolutely, high as a "kite", and that also last the normal time duration.
What is different though, is it makes my energetic and active. soo at night time I go up in temps.
I mostly stay under the 195 though. if the weed is good quality enough, that does all I need.:ko:.

Now a side question back to you : what's wrong with your Crafty+? I remember you where close to 100 hours when you got a problem.(and since I'm there now myself to, hour wise I'm curious.)

one other thing I would like to post : is to thank @invertedisdead (besides he's working on the next generation vape🤗), he posted his video, with the toplid of the capsule cap on top of the herb.
I was equally thankful to@23Baron, when he taught us to use the liquid pad on top of your herb for a more conducted session , well @invertedisdead , your method is cashing the load quicker, and me like!
I do remember you posted this before to (a while back),and I tried it then ,and didn't like it, to hars.
on hindsight, i realise that was with non properly flushed herb.(so that was absolutely the only reason then, but now with proper weed : yes very nice to cash the bowl this way indeed:cheers:.(over water).

Interesting! The way I can see difference in material is sometimes I will get great, almost endless clouds out of some when I boost from 180c to 210c. Then some other types I will just get one or two puffs from boost but an OK session overall. So thats the material differences, or as you say how it's cured could even matter here.

As for my Crafty+ issue, it's something that was there from the start and very minor indeed!
Occasionally the device would get to working temperature (taking the usual amount of time and being able to produce clouds), but it would not register this or show me this by changing the light to green or 'ready'.
I could either just continue with a red light, or if I powered off and back on again it would register as ready and show the green light.
Funnily, a second Crafty+ I bought did the same but more often! And I've never heard of it anywhere else.
They were very good to organize a free pickup of both devices from my front doorstep, and within a week I received two brand new Crafty+ without question!
The first Crafty+ I opened has no sign of the same issue at all, so that's great.
I had heard their customer service was good but I was really happy with this.
They once gave me a brand new Mighty when mine was 2yrs old and cracked.

Maybe we should all organize a mini FC meetup in Holland in the coming years, we will surely need a good break there soon!! Take care Green Kiwi!!

I want to disassemble my mighty, followed this video and Im on this port. I do not understand what the person in that video is implying and why he is showing the top around the CU, the way he pops housing is quite aggressive and I would like to avoid chipping anything around the CU. Im stuck basicly here my mighty halfway opened :
what does the guy in the video push on the top?
Im wondering how should I proceed, I would be very happy if it would be possible to remove the bowl and to get it deeply cleaned in some hot iso. I always heat my iso since the cleaning power seems to be much better and cleaning much quicker. I would be very grateful if you can help me with this , thank you very much

This may be helpful. There are interlocking tabs at the top of Mighty's halves, so the halves must be vertically slid apart, while prying the bottom open just slightly. I did not do that part full photo treatment, but in one pic of case you can see the tabs:
EDIT; Also, see my notes about the internal o-ring around the chamber, and consider trying to have some selection of spares on hand to replace that.

so should I just do the thing like the guy on the video, splitting the bottom part more open and creating pressure on the top of the cu? I do not get fully how the interlocking mechanism works and I would like to avoid cracking it. By pushing the lower part it basically unhinge? Thx for the link for the thread really nicely documented, your air intake and airpath is really gunky, have you ever had problems with clogging? I had, it was like sucking throught straw which was clogged but very small hole was still there,draw resistance was very hard. once I cleaned it with a needle it was like a different device :D

In the second photo of my post, at the top of the back cover, are four rectangular "hooks" that engage four rectangular slots in the case front (the video guy clearly points out those slots). In order to slide those tabs (hooks) and the back cover upward, the lower part of the case has to be slightly pried apart so it can clear the bottom of motherboard and plugs that are mounted down there (the cover is also being pried loose from the snug fitting batteries). So, both things happen, gently, incrementally, at the same time. A danger comes if you pry the parts apart too much, the tabs can break the slots off.
Just go slow and deliberate, you'll be okay.
The part where the c/u mounts is not in danger from this procedure; it is those tabs and slots that need to be handled carefully, there is nothing else holding the case together at that end!

I remember reading years ago about the danger of damaging those tabs/hinges, that is why Im so hesitant with it. Mine is basically pried apart and almost opened as on the video, but not with the unhinged top
so at this exact moment, does he create pressure on the top of the cu pushing in direction of the ending of mighty where the display is or in direction to the top of the cu? is he pushing it while taking the bottom apart more? I might already getting it a little bit but I just want to avoid any stupid mistakes with this baby :D

Hello, new mighty owner here. I'm sure this is a common question, but search is failing me. In order to minimize damage to the plastic and minimize chance of cracking, is it best to remove CU when the device is hot or cold? Thanks very much

people have posted that to (try to) avoid damage, you should press down on the CU when you put it on and when you remove it. makes sense.

I had huge problems with cracking of the CU previously, I now always gently push when removing the CU and I always remove it when Im done. It seems to help a lot + a padded case from Ryot brings protection on the go if you take it with you.
Or maybe its just that, that SB cooked some special material for this anniversary edition ? :D :D

So I almost cracked my housing and the tabs which holds the housing together on top, on the video I posted the guy just pry the mighty it cracks and its opened. Maybe that worked for him but not for me, I got to pry it just a little so you can see from the top of the CU that the lifted side of the plastic is bending a little bit there, then push towards the cu and up and it will uhinge, not pushing down towards the display as on the video that does nothing at all.

yeez guys why I have this feeling that mighty is a device that was not designed to be disassembled? trying to remove the heating rod cover pulled the tabs on the bottom and now im trying to stick razor blade into that very small gap on the bottom of the heating rod cover, where the tab is also located :D I know my explanation is little crazy, mighty needs a service video similar to thinkpad vids from lenovo service :D
I realized this is the best approach to disassembly :
I was very shocked to find a small black charcoal like piece in the air intake hole, not sure what it is but i cared for the device really well, not letting it get dirty, this seems to like an oil byproduct or something else, really looks like charcoal. The air intake hole should be easily cleanable and the chamber easily removable to clean, then no improvements are needed for the mighty :D
I got the charred out extra gunky chamber into flawless state by soaking it in iso and then scrubbing it with baking soda and toothbrush + liquid detergent for greasy stuff. Im now wondering what works for the plastic grey cover part, mainly around the ring(top of CU mount)

yeah, i know unfortunately what you mean, with destroying those tiny tiny tabs of the heather.
but once you know you know and I have done several cleans on mighty's after that and thank the vapelord ,never broke them again.
And I also have been surprised , and shocked about the dirt and filth amounting around the airinlet.
and after a while(when it's time to put other batteries in)in all my mighty's it was serious grouse.:o
the inlet gets yuck, quickly if you leave the mighty on your bong between hit's, it's in my experience very much worth the effort to take her(I love her so must be a she:D)of the bong/water tool just before ending ending your pull on the bong..(only delta 3 studios adaptors last years..)and with doing that the air inlet stay's way more clean for way longer:2c:.
and as other tip ,and off course that also is for the crafty, never blow in your bowl, all that dust and whatever is now clued (resin is sticky)to your heating element, and will make me bark and cough badly .:2c:

Trough the years S&B made small changes to this powerhouse, and I found that after having opened 3 mighty's(so yes I destroyed the first one..:rolleyes:.)I again destroyed a housing (to swap in new batteries)on the 4 th, mighty in my possession, because they changed how the body opens.first only sliding, now introduced having to wobble it open too(if not you destroy the tiny tiny(0,5 mm)pins they placed.
And then I discover on number 8 in my possession they fucking changed again:mad:.
I havent been able to find what was changed, but it definitely, did come apart in a different way again.
.:(:\.

but sounds with Taffee on the block , there IS finally competition.:love:.............

Sorry by the way of not been able to help you over the last week,i could read but not write, because of being in the middle of shit , so coverage very poor.(besides that I don't post often, besides likes, because I am badly dyslexic, and writing a reply like this cost's me seriously nearly two hours:ninja:...)

one last but totally not relevant thing,: that you tube link, man I doo miss listening in person (and mumbling a few word's I suddenly remembered back😏), to that beautiful French language.

Nice to see new vapes but I really dont like an exposed glowing metal coil as a heater, even the GH has a heat exchanger. Also the shape and unnecessary accessories are a turn off, so I'll hold on for the next big thing or a Mighty+:clap: I think.
Maybe it's just me but even heavy hitting convection desktops can't seem to match what a Mighty/Crafty(+)/Hybrid can do for me in efficiency and effects, and taste btw!
I mean why would they make Volcano a hybrid, if convection could be stronger and more efficient!?

Also fair play on the posts! I take a long time writing mine too sometimes, but they can turn out a bit long then!

I just joined FC yesterday. I'm a long time vape user and just recently bought a Mighty. I'm loving it so far. Every other vaporizer I've owned has a certain technique that needs to be mastered for best use. The Mighty is dead simple. Turn it on. When it buzzes breathe in. Fast or slow works just fine.

The only downside for me is the time and effort needed to keep it clean. I don't see any way around that. It's just not a Solo 2 (the easiest I have to keep clean). The day to day is easy; just brush it out. I will be taking apart the cooling unit and soaking it in ISO once a week. Anything easier?

Troy @ 420vapezone suggests using a Q-tip while it's warm
This works great, I do it every few days or so.
Vape a bowl or two to warm it up, pull it apart and wipe it down with a couple clean dry q-tips. It's not perfectly clean but it gets most of the gunk out. I only iso clean it every couple weeks when I'm doing all my vapcaps.
I've only used caps in mine, too.

I've seen Troy's advice on wiping a warm cooling unit with dry q-tips at the end of a session. I think I've seen every mighty video he has done. But if I'm going to soak it in ISO once a week it just seems like more work to me. I also wonder about wear and tear on the Mighty, taking the cooling unit apart every day.

The dosing capsules make some sense. I guess I've not been thinking of using those just becase I never have before. I may need to rethink that.

Does anyone use their Mighty for concentrates? I want to at least try it to see how it is. I have other methods for concentrates that I'm happy with. And it seems like that may be a good way to get the bowl really dirty.
