Thank you.
Amen, I don't want to say that people aren't treating their products with the proper care, but, I do find it strange when people post essentially: "Hey, here's Unit 1 with a cracked top!, Hey, here's Unit 2 a month or two later with a cracked top! Here's Unit 3, fucking S&B, another cracked top!"
Unit 1 right here, no cracksno problems at all in terms of the casing. 6 months so I'm not quite as long as some of you.
I'd say the newer casing may potentially be more prone to cracking/shearing off, but to be honest, I really don't know because 6 months ago I was very skeptical to buy the unit because everyone was posting about how it was so prone to needing replaced or repaired, namely because of cracked tops/fins....so the problems persisted through model variations.
Do you guy's reverse the direction of your CU? I always put mine on so the mouthpiece is on the right of the unit. Do you not do 2 explicit motions, push the cooling unit down, and then twist? I just find it hard to believe that my unit is still in basically tip top shape, the battery has degraded just a bit so I can't get 7-8 bowls I get 6-7 depending on temps.
Who knows, maybe S&B really hit their stride in the 12xxx rangebut like I said I just am really surprised mine is still working and aesthetically intact, while many of you have so many problems.
Edit: I also showed my weedman this thing, we were using it while we were playing NBA 2k, and I noticed at one point he had both hands on the controller, but I just passed him the vape....he had it dangling out of his mouth by the mouthpiece while he was shooting FTs.... I yelled at him to never do that LOL, but if my plastic was shoddy/wasted away, I do feel like it would have broke right there with the way he had it in his mouth, with the torque.
It is great your Mighty is working well after 11 months, but my question is why did you have to return your unit? A 2 year warranty and you have had to replace yours once in only 11 months, and that is supposed to be an endorsement for S&B built quality. It is also not very ethical to change the way the unit functions without notifying the owner of this intention prior to making the change. I returned my unit because batteries were not charging properly after only 5 months. I did not ask for a new outer shell, mine was in perfect condition, and I did not ask for the reprogramming. The machine was working fine other than the battery issue. Now it overheats, part of the reprogramming, and batteries barely last for 3 sessions. Sorry I just cannot understand how having to go through the hassle of returning your $400.00 machine in less than one year is satisfactory.
Pictures didn't do a good job showing the inside, so here's a 3D rendering of the finished part, as you can see the inside of my adapter were designed to fill the void caused by half of the cooling unit's design. Early prototypes showed this was necessary for the adapter to 'sit' properly
...................................................................How does the screen fit into the new ratchet mod? Could we see a picture? Thanks!
Where did you buy it from? It's possible that you got a counterfeit.
Very cool @Ratchett , how does it attach? Does it just snap on like the CU, I assume you have those fins matching those on the CU? Last thing I want is to use it and for my vape to look like that one guysit looks tight though, very nice
![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")
Unfortunately I've already shipped my loaner Mighty back to it's rightful owner, but @MinnBobber beat me to it - the bottom half of your cooling unit remains in place. Your oven compartment will not be affected whatsoever. "If you like your screen, you can keep your screen!"How does the screen fit into the new ratchet mod? Could we see a picture? Thanks!
I notice the same as you with my lungs , this is mostly bc the mighty is a heavy hitter and has no draw resistance . I can pack my oven as tight as it can be packed and still have no draw resistance. I have tried many vapes and own a bunch , the mighty is as free flowing as it gets imo. I would try your sessions at a much lower temp and see how that works for you.Your point was that the Mighty is similar to the Crafty?
I take 'no restriction' to mean 0% draw resistance, like inhaling from a bag. This is obviously not the case with a Mighty. There is SOME resistance. My lungs PERSONALLY are not very strong, so when Im finishing a bowl and trying to get the most out of it, I can feel my lungs working hard COMPARED to inhaling from a bag. The Mighty may have very little draw resistance, but it still has draw resistance. The volcano blows the hot air for you, whereas with the Mighty my lungs are essentially doing this work. At lower temperatures this means more work for my lungs. Its not a big deal, especially after I followed the advice in the manual and only fill my lungs half way, rather than max capacity. If I try to fill my lungs to max capacity with every drag than by the end of a session I can feel the pressure on my lungs. Anyway I've made my point. Which is that there is SOME draw resistance. And I PERSONALLY notice it. This is my opinion. My unit is not faulty. I love my Mighty it works amazingly well. I will talk of this no more. Thank you.
I didnt say I had lung irritation from hot vapour. I said "If I try to fill my lungs to max capacity with every drag than by the end of a session I can feel the pressure on my lungs." Pressure as in from the resistance. You can not say that inhaling from a mighty 10 times, to maximum lung capacity, is as easy as inhaling 10 times to max lung capacity with a Volcano bag can you? Turning down the heat will help with irritation of the lungs and throat. It will not help with draw resistance. Not that I need any help, as it is not problem. My Mighty's draw resistance is very low, but because of my weak lungs I personally notice it 'sometimes' when I hit it 'hard' consistently.
That's a good point
