The Mighty that I ordered arrived a few days ago and holy shit it is awesome.
I've always been someone who has taken a little time to adapt to a new vaporizer in the past (previous experience being with the VG, MFLB and DBV) but not with this thing.
I tried it the day after it came, had already got a fairly mediocre edible high going for a few hours.
Ground up some herb and put it in the Mighty (set to 180c and raised 5-10 degrees every few draws).
The high that followed was so satisfying and just felt like exactly what I wanted, a really clean/clear high but still with some of the (desirable) haziness akin to smoking.
I have a low tolerance and also struggle with anxiety and paranoid thoughts if I overdo it whether through smoking/vaping/edibles, so with my previous vapes I rarely even heated the herb beyond the point of it being a darker shade of green than it originally was. With the Mighty it just seems to heat it all perfectly evenly and it ended up a nice toasty brown, I guess having a digital temp setting is probably why, something I never had with previous vapes.
One thing I'm a bit concerned about is that it seems like it would be pretty easy to go through 2-3x the herb I normally would if smoking or using one of the other vapes I've tried in the past, I put in a decent amount a couple of times thinking it would be a case of taking a few draws and then coming back to it later, only to find that the whole lot is a nice dark brown. I went through it without even meaning to.
This actually worries me more for personal (mental health) reasons more than conservation etc, as getting high is somewhat of a balancing act for me and if I consume too much it can be detrimental (I'm someone who gets high an average of a few times a month, and if I get the balance right weed is hugely beneficial to my general functioning etc but it's possible to overdo it and make the opposite the case every now and then).
I guess I will just try and pack it lighter in the future, as it's remarkably easy to go through quite a bit of herb without at all intending to when using this thing. I hope packing a smaller amount (like a third of really "filling" it) will still work reasonably well.
I had a couple of friends try it yesterday as well who are already planning on buying their own soon. The thing that stood out first to me was the flavour (and note that it wasn't even particularly amazing weed, just regular "good shit"). It tasted incredible, and the ease of use/simplicity plus accuracy with the digital temp etc just makes it the best vaporizing experience I've had easily. Mind you I got mine for under $400 AUD and I probably never would have bought it at the full $500 AUD price it goes for here, but now that I've tried it I don't think I'd ever regret it either. I'm really hoping I have no issues with it as sending it to be repaired etc would be a bummer, it said on the site I got mine from that they're the newer models with reinforced housing and 2 minute shutoff though for what it's worth.
Also, I know it's not a perfect solution to not being able to stand it up perfectly, but the little trick (read on here and elsewhere) where you pull out the poker from the bottom and turn it around then put it back in is pretty cool, though I know it could still easily be knocked over, definitely wouldn't chance standing it up on the edge of a desk or anything like that, though come to think of it that'd actually be pretty dumb even it was designed to be stood up. I bet they'll bring out some sort of official stand/dock/cradle thing for it eventually.
I was wondering how often it should need to be cleaned, for someone who might use it a few times a week and isn't likely to go through more than .5-1g in a week most of the time...
Since none of my previous vapes had a digital temp control, I can only guess I was seriously underdoing it a lot of the time in the past. I'd always get really clear head highs from vaping but with little benefit to sleep quality etc and it's probably because I was mostly just getting THC and little else. I had better sleep last night after vaping with the mighty than I've had in a long time from smoking or even edibles, which is an awesome thing and almost unprecedented for me after vaping, not counting vapor bonging with the DBV which admittedly has made for some awesome "stoney" highs.
I can't wait to get a water pipe adapter (I've seen the one people here recommend and plan to order one fairly soon, though it'll probably take a while to get here with me being in Australia) for it soon as I pretty much exclusively vapor bong with the DBV and like it way better than just using the whip/mouthpiece. I strangely tend to find vapor harsher on the throat (leading to coughing fits in a way that smoking almost never does) than smoking for some reason, like I can barely use my DBV without coughing, but I've only coughed once so far using the Mighty and that was after taking a few draws and raising the temp to maybe 200c or thereabouts.
tl;dr fuck yeah this is awesome!
