It depends but in general my wife and i are low temp vaporists. Using the capsules, we ussually start at about 340F and finish at about 370F give or take a little.
When it was new we used to finish at 410 most times, when I wanted a quick bowl, I'd start at 380F, but all that grew old and now we just milk the great flavor hits and when they fade we stop. It helps that we have a good stash I guess.
I'm sure you will fall into a pattern after a while but do experiment, with temps, grind, varieties, water or whatever, and soon you will be a very happy camper.

Thank you Shredder! That's funny...last night I went 185 then finished it off at 210.
Really like it. Loading tool is pretty cool. What is the white plastic thing in the middle? Looks like a tamping type device but seems small. I don't think I'm using this little grinder/loading contraption right. But it's cool...it loads nice bowls. I hit 3 full bowls over the night and was done! Didn't mess with the capsules yet.
What is the ideal amount to pack in the bowl or does it matter?

To each thier own. Big small tight loose. You make it how you like it lol. I like the fine grind or coarser but with Kief in the middle and less is more. I learned that the hard way. Now I pack less and even use an old cu screen to put inside the cap on top of the load and it's been saving me quite a bit of bud. It's a pig but it don't consume like a pig. The caps are good for going out. Easy to pop one in on the go. Glad to see you like it @Beavis420 .

Check yer manual for instruction.
If the clear plastic thing were not there, material could escape the container, for one thing.
Amount in chamber can vary, but in general you try to not let it be so loose as to swirl around in there.

Meet my travel compadres, the three amigos:
We've been sharing this hotel room. Julio complains about my snoring, but 2qan and Buddy are too vaped to care. We had a meeting yesterday to discuss the capsule tray. I PM'd @Ratchett our findings. Hope others will PM him as well.
About that partial load in Mighty, it's that air can bypass a shifted partial load, diluting your hit. Need to evenly stabilize the load with a spacer. Can't give air a chance to scoot by.

Am looking to pop my vaping cherry and have my eyes on the Mighty. When smoking blunts I use very small amounts of weed; does the bowl need to be filled to the brim, or will just a few pinches do? How often do you clean it? Are there any other vapes within the same price range or less that are (iyo) better?

Hi everyone, new here. I bought a Mighty about 3 weeks ago and used it like 15-20 times. Absolutely loving it! It's my third vaporizer after the MFLB and the Solo and my favorite by far. This thread is a great help, thanks everyone for sharing your experiences with the Mighty.
So I guess it's time to clean the vape for the first time. I opened the cooling unit and there's some sticky resin in it. I would like to save it but I'm not sure how. I bought 1 liter of ethanol. On the bottle it says ethanol 96%, camphor 0.1%. Now here's my question: Does this work? Is the camphor a problem? Most people seem to use 99% isoprop alcohol but that's not easy to get where I live...
So will ethanol 96% + camphor 0.1% work or do you recommend against using it?
Also, how long should I soak the parts of the cooling unit in it? About 30 minutes?
Thanks for help and greetings from Switzerland (where only high cbd-cannabis is legal)

Not sure on that particular ethanol, but like any solvent you really need to get every last part of the solvent out to be safe. If your not sure don't use it.
A safer option, once the vape is all gunked up is to use the tamping tool to remove resin and place the resin on a small piece of parchment paper or a silicone pad. Then clean with ethanol. Look back a few pages on this thread for an example.

The Mighty is indeed king of well...sort of portables, not pocketable but transportable.
As for load size, I often use the dosing capsules. Above a fella showed us how he makes the capsules capacity smaller. Another way is to just pop the concentrate liquid pad over a less than full bowl. Works well.
But, this is a full bowl of dried ground herb which was ground using the New Vape Fine Grinder. How small of a bowl do you want?

My smallest one takes 0.05, the half size one takes about 0.1-0.12 depending on grind and how packed it is. I save a full capsule for special occasions.

On tour without my beloved Mighty (or any vape) and started combusting with locals (hangs head in shame)
21 more days, pray for me....

the mighty comes with a 'liquid pad', which can be used to reduce the volume of the chamber (you put it on top of the weed). I find that a full chamber is about .1 - .12g; using the liquid pad, the capacity's something like .05-.07g.
I think you're doing the right thing by considering going straight to the mighty; it's a great vape. you probably already know it, but I think you'll be surprised at how efficient it is (and how tasty!).
Sounds great, after much deliberation I've finally pulled the trigger....

I've just had mine this week and I like it a lot. I think you'll be happy with your decision!

Here's a quick review of the liquid capsules after just using them twice.
Used with a amount about the size of two normal sized dabs of rosin or enough for two people the liquid capsules worked great for us.
I started at 380F and quickly went to 390 then 400 then 410. It tasted like the herb it was squeezed from. And it lasted as long as a herb load, but we quit due to not wanting more rather than running out of tasty hits.
Next I tried a huge load of about enough for four people's dabs. We started at 380F and stayed there a long while and eventually moved up. The hits were richer but still tasty.
We quit that load fairly early. But lucky for me I pulled the capsule, before rosin oozed into the heater. The whole top of the cap was gooey with rosin as well as the cooling unit.
So I've learned load size matters, it tastes great, and it does draw more bars off the battery than our normal herbal and low temp loads. And i learned that I need to keep practicing, lol.
I plan on soaking the used capsules in iso alcohol, but haven't cleaned any yet.
All for now, but I'll update after we get more experience with these.

My mighty came with a dosing capsule but I have not tried it yet, I am not sure i see an advantage other then convenience if you need reserve capsules for easy loading? Maybe i will try it though. I am not sure how it will effect airflow though? I love good airflow.
On that topic and since I have only had my mighty a month, I always pack full but I am finding the absolute best results are full but somewhat loose pack. I see some people saying to pack fairly tight, i do not get nearly as good airflow or hits in general if its packed to tight. The guy that said less is more I am agreeing with.
Thats my only complaint about it switching from a boundless cfx to a mighty, I could never go back the mighty is in a different class but the one thing I miss is the huge bowl when I vape with friends.
I added a glass mouthpiece along with a bubbler and an adapter and I am enjoying both, the glass mouthpiece I dont find a huge difference but it is wider to help with draws and the glass does not get as hot as the plastic.

@Montell , one unexpected use for capsules is in a group. Having caps pre-filled means you can swap them out while chamber is still hot. Gotta watch your fingers and where you put the hot caps down, but there's not much waiting between refills.
The best use for caps is while out and about, no muss/no fuss. I bought two magazines, so that's 16 caps and two carriers. Ive lost one, but other than that they've lasted for months.
I don't think you'll find any draw restriction using caps. And the chamber itself stays cleaner longer.

Montell listen to the man @vapviking as his advice for me was worth a million $$$. Lol no shit. I'm sitting here with a mighty and a gh and wow. I'm the happiest camper and all the advice from other members has just made my life easier and that much more enjoyable. Keep it up.
Not to get off topic but since you mentioned it, the Grasshopper is probably the only other vape yet that interests me (unless I try a desktop but i want to be able to move around and smoke outside not indoors and pass it easily to friends so a desktop might not be for me). I am curious how it stacks up to a mighty.
Currently i have a mighty and a sticky brick jr, i like both and they are the first vapes I have had that really hit hard in comparison to vapes that offer a more mild high, but the mighty is almost all i use and really makes me not even consider other vapes i am so satisfied with it.
So i am curious from a dual owner?
Edit:actually just noticed you commented on this already on another page.

It's definitely in its own field. And as I am fairly new to the vape scene I can say my arsenal is complete with just my mighty and gh. The mighty is so much more durable and easier to use imo. I'm still waiting on @Ratchetts goodies to show up. So is difficult to load it up. The capsules for the mighty I would do on a Sunday night and pack away lol. Like a chipmunk. So I'm good for the week or so I think. The gh is quite the mind blowing experience much like the mighty was but better lol. It's just so damn amazing how it works. But reading on the gh forum you read a lot of negative opinions and stories. Proud to say I am lucky so far and can't complain here. Worth the money imo. It hits harder than the mighty and the taste is different and not sure if I prefer over mighty or not??? Hard to say. For sure a must have if your like me and curious to see some crazy technology.

The Mighty and the Hopper have very different lineage. Mighty's from one of the oldest and venerated vapes companies (oh, those German engineers!), Hopper from a fledgling young group and crowd-funded in the US. Mighty had a couple of small design stumbles when new, corrected in short order and almost anyone who sent theirs back with a problem simply got a new one (Crafty has been slightly less successful, imo). Many Grasshopper buyers have had a rougher time of it, with multiple failures and, we hear, a lot of weird customer service stories. While I've had to return mine for repair several times, they always treated me well and sent me back a working piece quickly. Lifetime warranty is comforting (we hold hope that the company lasts a long time!).
While I do love to show off the Hoppers, I would tend to use Mighty with other folks, it's just so foolproof, easier to reload and great battery life. I use Hoppers more like a single hitter type though I always need multiple single hits!; for wife and me, we share our time, but each use our own Hopper.
You must be aware there's a huge Hopper thread, so start reading over there if you have time! But i suggest approaching the Hopper purchase like a risky stock pick; only jump in if you have some disposable cash and some patience.
@Bomb33 thanks for the shout-out, but we're not alone here; many, many great posters with experiences and opinions to share, I love this place!
Come for the information, stay for the (international!!!) community...
