Newer Mighty's have the boost feature like the Crafty. Double click the power button and it goes to a second pre-determined temp. On the Crafty you set it thru the app, not sure on the Mighty.
The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel
- Thread starter Roger D
- Start date
The boost temp is basically a secont temp value storage (it has been added over a year ago afaik) - to clarify a bit:
after power button double click the set temp digits start blinking and jump to the boost temp which can be changed with +/- buttons - just as the normal temp setting the last set temp value will be stored. So a session could be without pressing +/- buttons, eg: turn on 170C, vape - double tap power - 195C, finish

hey guys im looking to purchase a mighty and i just have a few quick questions..
my first question is are there still many problems with the mighty? i live in Canada and shipping is somewhat expensive so I kind of want to calculate how much shipping I would expect. Also, how great is the warranty nowadays? How much would I need to shell out for repairs usually?
My second question is should I hold off or wait for the need S&B vapes to be released?

Had mine since November last year hasn't missed a beat. No fins have broken yet. The only thing I noticed is every now and then it wont vibrate when I bump up the temp whilst already in use, very occasionally. Most of the initial problems have been sorted out by s&b.
I hear great and bad warranty experiences, about usual imo. It is made in gemany which is rare these days not that really means much, just makes me feel good. I always show of the made in germany label haha
edit: omg just realised i said ya mon to @YaMon didnt even notice haha!

the mighty never really had quality control issues; that was (is?) more with the crafty, probably due to the crafty having one battery to mighty's two - and doing the same amount of work. if you went back and read this entire thread, I think you'd find very few instances of failure that weren't due to dropping or extremely heavy use (10X/day or more). when this subject has come up before, some people have said that there are reports of mighty failure on other sites, but I haven't researched it.
the warranty is 2 years. for the most part, people haven't had any problems with repairs or replacements, even when the problem was their own fault. it's no fly-by-night company.
I've 'only' owned 4 vapes (MFLB, vapor genie, vapcap, mighty), but the mighty is easily the best, with the only minor complaint being that it doesn't really get hot enough to vape hard hash easily. it has zero learning curve, works beautifully, and is reliable. my favorite thing about it: you don't have to stir, unlike so many vapes. the ABV is always a uniform ocher color, no dark or green material. if you can afford it, you won't be sorry.
there's speculation that S&B will come out with new models soon. in the few years mighty's been out, they've tweaked it a bit: up the auto-shut-off from 1 to 2 min. (I think), added a 'boost' function. this makes sense to me: why replace it with a new model if it works well. maybe they're working on an all convection vape like the FF2, but from what I read on the FF2 thread, coming up with one that isn't fussy (e.g. load density, need to stir/shake) might be a serious engineering challenge.
in the meantime, the hybrid convection-combustion of the mighty is pretty perfect - as long as you're okay with finishing a load once you start it.

First post! So I'm a two year strong volcano owner which satisfies all my vaping requirements and I would see not point in another desktop. I don't want to go back to smoking joints when I'm away from home. All roads seem to lead to the Mighty. I must admit I've tried the Plenty and it's ok, but it's not really what I'm looking for. Does anyone own a 'cano and a mighty to compare?
the plenty's vapor is stronger than the mighty. mighty is the best portable in my opinion but it can't compete with the plenty. on s&b website it says plenty had 3 times the volume of vapor than the mighty.

my experience with the mighty is that the vapor production varies quite a bit, depending on what you put in. I've had my (parked) car literally dense with clouds, to where I had to open the windows; other times I only got wispy vapor. the 'cloud chasers' seem to end up going straight to the higher temperatures. the mighty is great - if it's a choice between it and smoking joints, I'd call that a no-brainer.

Well I came here casue I got fed up of people saying that smoking joints is better and I wanted to be around my own kind. It's also pretty pricey but TBH I wouldn't bother with other brands cause S&B engineer their stuff so well, they're the innovators and the market leaders.
I just wish there was a way to try these things out first, it's about the same price as the cano

If you have already the cano, there is no way around getting a mighty - alone the compabillity of the dosing caps with every S&B vape is a great thing... So get over it, you are already trapped by perfect engineering

it does seem like there's been a slight reduction in mighty pricing. you might try checking with puff it up - he usually offers a 15% discount and people seem very happy with the customer service.

I have a volcano that I bought in 2009, that's still going strong and mighty I bought in November of 14.
Both have been trouble free and have been since day one.
How to compare? Really you can't other than they're each well built vapes.
If I could only pick one I'd go with the mighty. If I just vaped with multiple people I'd go with the volcano.
And so like you say, you have a volcano so all roads lead to the mighty.
I've used my mighty daily for years now. And in a lot of different situations inside, outside and it's always delivered.

Welcome.
I converted totally to vaping on day one after about 40 years of combusting. And that was with a Pax1! several years ago
Smoking is not 'better' than vaping by any means, especially if you consider your health.
The effects of vaping can be more subtle, less noticeable at first, but by no means less effective. Some of the effects of combusting are not 'effect' at all, unless you happen to enjoy, say, oxygen deprivation.
I understand you are not new to vapes, the 'cano is a beast for sure. But try not to get distracted back to combusting. Instead, look for the many pl
easures to be had from vaporizing.

hey! @BudCrow ,
It's too late to edit my post (above) and I see I didn't get the link right (it's not complete) so here it is again, with another one to an essay in similar vein.
btw, it is extremely rare to hear anyone say they don't like the Mighty's ability to satisfy...
http://fuckcombustion.com/resources/smoking-vs-vaporizing.4/
http://fuckcombustion.com/resources/switching-from-smoking-to-vaporizing.5/
My first combustion fucking actually happened with tobacco. After 4-1/2 decades I had a bad case of pneumonia (2010) and that rattled me into a different mindset. I tapered down my use and stopped -being so ill actually helped with that. But my joint use went waaay up until I stumbled on to some stuff about Pax and ordered one (2013). Other vapes followed (VAS is real). As I said above, from first try I've never looked back. Joints taste like fucking fireplace ash now.

Over here in the UK, we tend to mix allot of tobacco and I can't really say no to a spliff going round, but it did set the craving again...
I'm total pro vape, but at my friends he has a Plenty and I just find it doesn't match up to the volcano vapour quality and we normally end up smoking. I never ever smoke when the cano is in sesh. I do think most people associate the lack of oxygen to be getting high as do they with intense nicotine rush that one gets from a joint. It's also the stuff that causes health issues and paranoia... I'm on board.
I just wonder if I would be better off going down the enail path, although I thought it was combustion. I clearly have a lot to learn, which is why I'm here.
As for VAS being real, I don't have the money to spend on hardware and I really can't understand why people with the 'cano would get another desktop. I'd much rather spend the money on the plant product that goes inside. It will be a massive expenditure again to get the Mighty. I am considering a butane powered vape...

I have owned two Mighty's going on 2 years. One of my Mighty's I bought used still under warranty from a forum member. I just sent one of the two vapes back in on warranty for cracked ribs. They didn't have my Mighty for a day before getting back to me and letting me know they replaced or fixed it. I'm cool either way, I love the Mighty. Took a whole darn week in total. Really can't complain seeing the warranty was due up in November.
I also own the Volcano. I like having multiple ways to vape. One way is not always the right way for the current medical need.

Let me know what happens whether it is replaced or fixed. My case has been split for about 10 months now, it causes no problems but wondering if I should send it in.

I was like you a couple of years ago. I bought the Plenty and it was ok. But then I got a Mighty soon after and I was instantly converted to vaping. Then the VAS kicked in. It's easily S&B's best vape IMO and STILL my favourite portable! Like @ChooChooCharlie it's my hotel vape.

Wow that's allot of vapes. VAS will not be an issue with me, I liken it to HiFi or car enthusiast's spending all their cash to be the ultimate. I've got kids, so all money goes on them.
I keep the 'cano clean and I've honestly never thought I needed to upgrade or side step and I doubt that I ever will. I wouldn't mind something that makes no noise. I just don't get how anything can be better than a forced air vape for the quality and coolness of the vapour. I have to say I go for a joint over the Plenty every time I'm at my friends...I would never choose a joint over the volcano.
It does look like the Mighty is the one for me, I have looked. One thing I need to be careful of is VAS envy here cause we all know that enthusiasts are obsessed with 'Expense and Inconvenience'
I think the target is acquired (THE MIGHTY) In all honesty I'd rather spend the money on making AVB than hardware, but a portable is needed if I'm to quit all combustion.

For battery vapes i started with a flowermate, then a davinci, and pax - then sold the last two after getting a mighty, so the saying 'who buys cheap buys two(or more) times' is correct. Main reason was it just felt so inefficient using any other vape than the mighty, so add the economic factor of getting the most out of the herbs, while it's turning into abv, that will add up quickly 
I always went back to combustion being away from home with some people before having the mighty, it was just too much fiddling with loading, stirring, clogging and so on with the pax and davinci. Most portables are not suited to use with more than 2 people around. Now i just preload some capsules and i'm good anywhere...
i'm also a HIFI / acoustics freak, i even build speakers, andi it's pretty much the same - start with the best and you're set for the next 20 years.
Now i get a bit polemic, but what is the cost of a new lung? - also stopping combustion can make the difference of seeing some grandchildren in your life or not.
But i don't get your impression about the plenty, maybe the load fell a bit to the side and didn't cover the whole screen? - the coil can also be precooled in the fridge, but u are right no need for it if you have the cano.
As you have mentioned butane vapes - my favourite are vaponic(really cheap) and vapman, with the cano and mighty thats 98% of my rotation. the last 2 % are vapcaps(quick hitter) and the flowermate(only for concerts/festivals).
Nice thing about the vaponic is, its a very joint like experience with the heating and allows 4-5 draws with one heating cycle, also very good taste. I would say ex-joint users prefer vaponic, ex-one hitter users prefer a vapcap.
The Vapman is just nice swiss engineering and craftmanship, the mostly conduction heating offers a different punch. My preferred outdoor vape, it works in any weather condition.
