Perhaps thicker equals less hits, as with the capsule's added conduction, the herb is spent sooner (ergo bigger clouds)

Hey all, I am looking into purchasing a Mighty. While I have no doubts about the great quality of vapor, taste, ease of use, etc. I am hesitant to purchase a $350 vape with known defect issues and sub par customer service at times. It makes me think I should just buy a CFX or something; although I have been torn between the Mighty, Pax 2, and Arizer Air (maybe solo).
A handful of people recommended the Mighty and vouched both for its quality and reliability. But, I cannot ignore all of the other negative reviews and complaints about defects and customer service.
I understand some defect issues may be a result of the environment it is in, how the user handles the vape, etc. And I understand battery replacement and some other repairs costing money, but if you buy a $350 vape and have to send it in a year later for $100+ battery repair, etc because it is not covered by the warranty; the cost of maintaining this vape could be pretty significant. Plus the possible hassle of dealing with customer service. Although, if you don't have to send it in, the $350 would be a great price for 2 years or more of solid or daily vape use.
I am worried that the Mighty may be comparable to driving a really really nice car – costs a bunch, has constant issues (possibly), but wicked nice. I expect some to chime in and say, “hey, if you can afford it why not buy it?”
I get that but I was just hoping to get some opinions on the Mighty's reliability and possible maintenance costs. I don't mind paying more for a superior product, but do not want to pay more than needed. Especially if there is another cheaper, but comparable quality option available with a longer warranty. But if the Mighty has improved quality control, reliability, and durability, etc, I'd probably go for the Mighty. - I am also aware the Mighty is a bit more reliable than the Crafty.
Thanks in advance for any input provided, I truly appreciate it. Just want to spend money wisely.

If you are looking for something that saves you product and $ in the process, the Mighty may not be as good for you as say the Air or the Solo2. However, if you are someone can't stand the draw resistance of most battery powered vapes, then the Mighty may be right up your alley. The draw on the Mighty is smooth and cool on the throat, and if you want it to be efficient with smaller amounts you can simply place a oil pad or screen over your load. I haven't dealt with S&B customer service so i don't have anything for ya there, but from what i hear if you buy from authorized dealer they should take care of you, also they have strengthened the plastic housing around the bowl a bit so there are less defects.

Saving product and money is a plus. Mostly want top quality taste/vapor and reliability, but hear both Air, Solo 2, and Mighty give good-great quality, with the Mighty ahead in most peoples eyes. Although the Mighty's defects may bring them even. Glad you pointed that out about the AIR/Solo 2, might be a better option than the Mighty for my second vape.
I have not used many battery powered vapes, non worth remembering anyway. But I have been using a WISPR, a butane powered vape. Real convenient, gets the job done, tastes alright, but would like better flavor/experience I guess. The WISPR has a fair amount of draw resistance, but I have mastered the technique and have no problem getting clouds from it, just not super tasty clouds. I had worried about the draw resistance on the AIR but don't think I'd have any problems getting clouds from the Air or Solo 2.
Still looking for some info on the Mighty's reliability, defects, possible maintenance costs, and customer service experience too if anyone has input. I have seen a handful of people vouch for the Mightys reliability, but also seen a bunch of people with complaints about it and the CS.

Mighty going on 30 months....600+hrs....still going & going even to my suprise?
Pricy=yes, but has come down significantly. Puff-it-Up, check their pricing.
Durability= fragile if not used...handled...cared properly?
Solo 2....WOW!! Can not go wrong IMO with Arizer! Wish I started with a SOLO...
.....no regrets. Enjoy the Ride!!
CANNABIS.....Cluster Headache....ReNew...Mission. Good to-Go!!!

I'd rate the Mighty as top tier in overall reliability and the built-in battery lasts a long time before needing replacement. CS is generally quite good. For comparison, I'd rate the Crafty reliability as medium as they have more issues. Mighty is well engineered and a powerhouse, just ugly IMO. Ugly but it sure can cook (vape)

honestly the other vapes you mentioned are all good and will all do the job like a pro but to be honest with all known issues and that said mighty all the way..it just hasnt been touched by a portable in my opinion..its a beast of cool fat clouds..nuff said but ill say more..it will totally change things for you compared to other portables..especially the ones you listed..its just so easy to use as well..well thought out device minus the plastic cracking..there were some issues in beginning but its just as reliable as a vape as their is for the most part. and s and b has always been the tits for me..

If cheaper is what you want go fur it. Lots of choices now days.
If you want the best currently available portable herbol vape, your at the right place.
I paid like $479 for my mighty 30 months ago with less to go on that what's now available. I wanted a high quality portable. And that's what I have.
In those 30 months other than occasional cleaning there has been no issues.
I did break a minor fin, and the batteries are now only powering up 5-6 bowls. And I did need to replace a tiny o ring in the cooling unit.
Lucky for me, I bought the wear and tear kit when I bought the mighty. That o ring is all I've used from the kit tho.
At this rate I'll need batteries in another year or two.
I wish batteries were user replaceable and I wish it was cheaper, but it is what it is.
So if you would calculate the cost over 30 months and the number of bowls in that time it becomes a better deal.
And then there's performance. Mightys have always reviewed as a top portable choice. I would agree.

U should also consider that the dosing capsules are a game changer especially for outside use - no fiddling with loading and unloading, no extra stuff to take with, just the mighty and the capsule holder

Keep the faith up in capsules, just as they keep the temperature up for you.
Think insulation ... doesn't sound as bad as conduction.

Good point. We use the caps all the time in our mighty now. And the mighty stays much cleaner.
About 90% of the time we use it without the cooling unit screen. I put the screen in for fine grinds or dry herbs, but not often.
With the caps the top screen got resined up pretty fast. It works fine with caps and no screen.
The convenience of the caps is really great. About twice a week I fill caps. That often keeps the herbs fresh. And despite seeming flimsy they are holding up very well.

I'm a bit curious where you're reading all the negative reports. I've been following this thread for a couple years and most of the failures seem to stem from extremely heavy use, dropping, etc. I've had mine for a couple years without any issues (but I'm not a heavy user).
european customer service gets better reviews than US, but nothing serious.
the crafty does have issues, probably due to its single battery.
I haven't tried every vape out there, but from what I have tried and what I read on other threads, you'd be hard-pressed to beat the mighty. when someone comes up with an easy-to-use all-convection vape, that might change. in the meantime, the mighty's pretty close to perfect: total temperature control, cool vapor, exc. flavor, easy to use, near-zero learning curve.
efficiency's only an issue if you're not using it as a 'session vape' (finishing the bowl once you start). ymmv of course, but my experience is that I get about 1 vape per .01g - 100 vapes per gram...
negatives: some people gripe about the heat-up time (~ 2 min.). it's not as stealthy as, say, an oil pen, but you're still talking about a battery vape - no torches, no stink. I live in a legal state (although it's not legal in public), sometimes vape pretty openly - the thing could be an asthma inhaler to the uninitiated (and the people who do know what it is don't care), but it's the size of a flask, no getting around that.
the biggest negative for me is that it just doesn't get hot enough for hard hash (but it's fine with bubble hash) - I got a vapcap for that.
it's ridiculously easy to use, which almost makes it boring. some people prefer a more 'hands-on' vape, like the vapcap, which requires a flame, and can be heated all different ways, but the mighty's so simple you'll barely pay attention to it - until it vibrates.
I do find it odd that something else hasn't come along to knock mighty off its pedestal (they sure are trying); in this era of 'disruptions', you'd think some chinese knock-off would equal it for half the price, but I haven't heard of anything like this. it's hard to imagine that there won't be something either better (all convection) or cheaper (but works just as well) by the time the guarantee would be expired if you bought one now. and if not? you pay your $100 (or whatever it is by then) and buy yourself another couple years of a state-of-the-art vape. S&B did good.
Finally purchased a mighty to go along with my sticky brick jr.
It was alot of money canadian but i purchased from puffitup and with the discount code came to around 430 cad. I sold my boundless cfx for 120 to a friend to offset some of the cost. I purchased a cheap stand for 18 dollars for now but will look at the stand mentioned in this thread down the line, but i didnt want it tipping over while filling and cracking. I was debating purchasing in canada but the retailer i talked to the price came to 481, he said i could have a 5% discount to bring it closer to puffitup price but i had to call in and speak with him, he couldnt do it online or in an invoice for some reason, i dont like calling to buy something or using my credit card over the phone. The Canadian retailer came with a better grinder, and faster shipping and located in canada, but I opted for puffitup who allowed me to use the discount online without having to call a sales person and i saved maybe 20-25 dollars. They said import duties are maybe 5 dollars because they mark down the cost so i hope that is true and i made a good decision.
Looking forward to trying it.

You're gonna love the Mighty, great choice going with PIU, thats where i bought mine a few months ago. They have crazy quick shipping and the best CS. This unit really blows every other portable out of the water, sure its big and kinda clunky, but i promise you its still more portable than say a Solo cuz you have to carry around a glass stem with that, or an Air cuz u have the stem plus the extra batteries you might need to carry, plus the battery life on the Mighty is insane, i almost find my self wanting to charge it sooner than it runs out just cuz it goes so many sessions i feel like i gotta let the little guy replenish itself hah.

@Receptor, 30 months and 600 hours? Damn, I'd be happy with that. Is the Mighty your daily driver? And Cluster headaches are no joke.
Thanks again Minn and Subway, 'preciate the info.
@shredder Damn, $480...thats the price of a Volcano. Glad to hear you are happy with it regardless. Is it your daily driver? I don't mind paying more for a superior product, just don't want issue after issue with it. But it sounds like most here standby not only the Mighty's quality of vapor and ease of use, but also its reliability. Which is huge for me and frankly my biggest concern.
The dosing capules looks awesome as well.
@darbarikanada I've read negative reports scattered throughout FC, but have seen most negative reviews on Vape Critic and online retailers (from customers, not the retailer/reviewer). Thank you for the info too, really appreciate it. 100 vapes per G seems like a good deal. I don't mind the heat up time, more concerned about reliability and the size is a slight downfall but if it's a tank, size is not a worry at all. Also whats the procedure you use for vaping bubble hash? I'm glad to hear you vouch for S & B's quality, customer service, and reliability.
Jimmer, thanks again Rasta Masta. I agree that the Mighty would be more portable. I know the Arizers are very reliable too, but it seems the majority of people vouch for the Mighty's reliability as well.
Thanks for the info all, your support of the Mighty's reliability holds weight with me. I don't think I could go wrong buying one. I will still think about which vape to buy (Mighty, Pax 2, Arizer) while I save up a bit more money, but I don't think there is any doubt the Mighty is the best quality vape out of the 3.

Go with the Solo II! Faster heatup, no plastic parts and way better support, not that you'll need it with an Arizer product. Way more cost effective too, and easier to adapt to glass with a gong. Having owned them both, Solo II for the win. 10X better for micro dosing too.

Not sure where you're getting your info from? CS is always right there, and the only issue (fins) was solved long ago. (I believe that Vape Critic review was from long ago, when they first came out.)
There is a two year warranty. This is one the most reliable portable vapes on the market. (I've had my Davinci IQ for only a few months and already have to send it back.)
A bit? How about 10X more reliable. I went through 4 Crafty's before getting a free upgrade to Mighty. I'm 10 months in using it as a daily driver.
So happy you mentioned hard hash! I've been wishing I could try that in the Mighty. I started using dab in the Mighty with the padded capsules and it works great at 390-410. I read somewhere that you need closer to 500 degrees for oils; not sure if that's true, but maybe hard hash would work at 500. Hopefully raising the top temp is on the list of incremental improvements..

Lots of reports of lackluster CS both in this thread, the Crafty thread as well as other forums. I was just reading about one dude that was well within warranty (mighty about 6 months old IIRC) and the power button stopped working. He filed an RMA and S&B said that it was a "wear and tear item" and not covered by warranty and wanted $250 to replace his Mighty! He was like WTF no way, and they sent it back with holes in the display? He tried emailing them and then no response. They also never answer their phone and i've had some interesting email contact with them myself. I can try to dig it up if you want.
Lots of horror stories, but lots of good stories too so just something to keep in mind. People aren't making this shit up trying to spread shit on them.
Mighty issues include the power button, the display flickering/going out, vibration not working, and batteries costing a fortune to replace. Still a kick ass portable no doubt! One of the best! But I wouldn't say it's THE best IMO.

I put it on top of the liquid pad, but there's a ton of variability re how different bubble and finger hashes behave (way more than with flower); with some I get vapor at fairly low temps (e.g. 165ºc), but some need to get way above that before they vaporize. I got enormous clouds at medium heat from some finger hash once, but have had to get up to ~200ºc for some bubble.
I don't recall seeing any discussion of this, but since people seem to feel that the capsules create a bit more conduction heat, they might be useful for hash (I don't have any capsules). anyone tried this?
