Having owned my Mighty for a few weeks, I have two gripes; one I believe is universal and another that's not a huge deal for someone like myself, since I don't often leave my neighborhood.
My first gripe is the fact that you can't stand-up the Mighty without buying an aftermarket (I believe that word fits here) stand. My second gripe is that my Mighty's battery seems to drain fairly quickly. But even with that gripe, being able to use the Mighty while charging makes it a lot less of an issue, or possibly a non-issue.
Love the Mighty. Very glad
@ChooChooCharlie went out of his way to steer me toward Mighty (over Plenty and EVO). (I'm still drooling over them, though.) Thanks dude.
Happy that you're happy! You made me smile!
Lots of friendly folks here offered you their advice, but thanks for the call out! After trying to watch your videos, I always feel like a hedonistic rec-vaping schmuck. Glad if my mangled and repetitive posts here helped you.
Speaking of repetitive posts, here's more. (if my posts are repeated enough, they become true)
Was doing a 5 CU cleaning batch this morning and thought some more on the CU opening issue. My fingertips were feeling girly-man sensitive, and was struggling to push down on that oval post (my preferred method). Saw the S&B wood handled brush sitting there, and, you guessed it.
Works well, as long as you keep that sliding hologram piece out of the way with your left thumb and finger while holding firmly. Can exert steady downward pressure on that oval post using the brush handle in right hand.
Frees one side usually. Resist temptation to pry at this point -- too frustrating. Instead, press it back together, then push down on the post again. This time, the other side usually frees up. Repeat once maybe twice, in a rocking see-saw action, then it's easy to pry.
If you feel comfortable with your method of leverage, I won't argue. What works best for you is the most important thing.
On the stand issue, or rather, the lack of standing issue: I remember my Mighty on its side, rocking back and forth helplessly like a frustrated turtle. Before 2qan, I found the black ammo bands let it lay flat more gently without sliding. Like you said, you could create a charging stand yourself.
About the battery life, longer individual sessions result in fewer sessions total, before reaching for the charging cable. I usually do my draws in rapid succession like I do my shots. It was a big selling feature for me, that it could keep up, unlike most portables with wait/re-heat needs between draws. But, you have respiratory constraints, so leisurely sessions are a requirement for you, not a luxury. You will need to recharge more frequently. I recharge at least twice per day with an hour countdown timer. Here we have yet another example: no perfect vape! Awh, shucks!
Hope your Mighty experience does not trigger a sudden outbreak of portable on-demand VAS. Eh, who am I kidding, part of the fun. Gotta get a second portable, Ryan, then a third ...
