The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

[chiefcombuster1]

My Mightys don't make this noise, that I've ever noticed. But fire one up and place it near a guitar pickup (which happens to me....I'm kind of a multitasker...) and it throws a seriously bizarre clicking noise through your amp. Trent Reznor would no doubt approve.

lol ya man when I'm smoking and playing my bass I get both the clicking every few seconds (i think when the battery power kicks in to top up the temperature) but also this weird wavelength of sound that sounds almost alien like a vibrating high pitch. I figured one day if I was recording a song I would find a way to put that noise in like starting a song with it or something.

I love this idea

slow the pitch down and then speed it up slowly until it's so fast that it bursts into the song?

It's like an E-Bow. From Hell.

Hi guys...

I've noticed that I get the most out of my weed when I use it with the liquid pad on top as a spacer. Can somebody explain this? Seems that I get as stoned or even more as when vaping a longer session with the bowl packed full. I grind fine and pack quite tight.

I love my Mighty btw...I bought an IQ amonth ago but still find myself using the Mighty every day and the IQ only every now and then.

All the best to everybody!

I often use a liquid pad on top of my load. Its usually either a dosing capsule or a slightly reduced load with the LP on top.

I believe that the LP adds to the conduction component, particularly toward the end of a session when its all nice and hot. I note that I get VERY evenly milk chocolate brown AVB with the LP in place....looks more extracted to me than AVB from default load.

Just be careful prying that pad out after a load....sucker is hot...Hot....HOT g*d damn it, ouch! LOL

Cheers

I just pulled the trigger and bought a Mighty from Randy at PIU. He gave me a very nice discount, a couple of freebies and a very reasonable shipping price to Canada. With our weak Canadian dollar, I was reluctant to get one of these babies but Randy's deal was too attractive to pass up.

Did somebody mention pages back that you can use a screen in the dosing capsules to reduce the load? I like to use smaller amounts but wish to ensure that I am still getting maximum extraction.

Looking forward to trying this beast after everything I have read...

I agree, it's adding conductive heat, often yielding bigger, faster hits.

But I don't personally notice it being more efficient or effective than just the native bowl. It is, however, a great way to use smaller loads for shorter sessions.

So I can use the liquid pad in the dosing capsule to reduce load. Good to know. Thank you, folks.

I think there are two sizes of liquid pads. One for in-chamber use and a smaller for in-capsule use.

Yes, there is a liquid pad for dosing capsules but I don't use that (that would be a tiny micro-dose, I believe).

I put the LP on top of a load in the native chamber.

I understand. And certainly can't prove anything one way or the other. But native, my Mighty issues AVB much like my Volcano while with the liquid pad I get darker and more even AVB.

Did I get more cannbinoids or did I just boil off the chlorophyll and further oxidize the plant material....can't really say, tbh.

Some days it seems all roads lead us back to the "convection/conduction" conversation.

Makes sense, because as mentioned ad nauseum, I find the more conduction that is at work, the darker and more even my ABV looks. I totally concur....with the pads I get darker, more even ABV. I can achieve this without pads, but it usually requires at least one stir, as the native approach relies more on convection, which almost always requires some kind of movement of the weed in order to get it all evenly in the path of the hot air.

Both approaches seem to extract fully, and I've never tried to count hits, so to me there is less of an efficiency difference, and more of a visible ABV effect difference.

Ah, OK. I'm hoping to use the dosing capsules exclusively so I will figure out a way to reduce the load. Maybe if I cut down the liquid pad to the right size for the capsules...I won't use it anyway... I like the idea of adding a bit more conduction using the pad.

About how much herb do the capsules hold?

 

[ragnorak71]

I have been playing about with the capsules since I bought my mighty this week. Coming from an underdog vape the load size has been giving me panic attacks lol but that is ok now

on the capsules the pads are quite thick and take up a lot of the capsule so it is a very small dose. if too small the firefly 2 pads fit the dosing capsule perfectly and are about half the thickness

upshot is i currently have a three dose size of capsule (approx 0.15g)- capsule ff2 pad (0.6G) - capsule s&b pad (0.?g) too stoned to record last one lol

works great for me and i get everything from each one it seems

loving this bad boy

I believe you can also use a regular S&B screen (or trimmed pipe screen) in the capsules, bent into place to achieve varying 'chamber' sizes.

Thank you for the great information, guys. This helps a lot.

Huh..there is a liquid pad made by S&B for the dosing capsules. Why cut it down?

As for capacity:

 

[MonkeyTime]

I'm guessing that's w/out a pad?

Unless they've changed, they were only good for the smallest of loads.

 

[Baron23]

Yes, without a pad.

Ah...by cut down, you mean in thickness so you can get load size in between no pad and full pad? I guess that would work.

I didn't explain myself very well. I meant trimming the stock liquid pad that comes in the box with the Mighty for the chamber, not the ones meant for the capsules. I really don't plan on ordering anything additional to accomplish my goal of reducing the bowl. I'll probably go for SS screens as I have about 400 of them! Or maybe some stainless steel wool. Hmmmmm...

The picture and information is very much appreciated. Thank you.

My go to method for a long time now has been using dosing caps without the lid and using the fine screen in the cooling unit with glass mouthpiece.
I've reused the same 8 caps forever even tho I have a box of them.

I got 7.5 sessions out of a full charge yesterday on my 2 year old unit. All at 195c between 3-5 minute sessions!

Still my main portable/desktop/FCancer machine!

The opposite of using capsules without a screen, interesting! Will try that

 

[lagfish]

Do you guys find the temperature control buttons to be useful? How often do you actually change the temperature? I'm trying to decide between a Mighty and Crafty. I'm leaning more towards the Crafty because of the smaller size and weight and I know I'd be too lazy to use the app to change the temperature if I went with the Crafty.

 

[Stevies]

I use the dosage capsule, capsule liquid pad with NO capsule lid.

I find this keeps the cooling unit screen cleaner and the pads are too thick with a lid unless you wanna micro dose.

I use mine as an around the house session piece.

@lagfish I use the temp controls all the time. That's part of the fun.

 

[Vapordeflor]

Totally agree with @Stevies I use my Temp Control at least 3 times each session. Its super fun to change temps and see how the cannabis you have inside react to that different temps!! Mighty Science!

I'm leaning more towards the Crafty because of the smaller size and weight and I know I'd be too lazy to use the app to change the temperature if I went with the Crafty.

And I stuck with its default temps and didn't really need the app. And the Crafty has a temp boost (which I use), so you can use two temperature settings without the app.

The Crafty stands up on its own; the Mighty doesn't without buying a base. The Mighty has 2 batteries so it lasts much longer between charges. Consider your expected usage before you make a decision (heavy use? Mostly alone, or with others...).

I love my Crafty and am happy I went with that one, but there is much love for the Mighty!
