The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

[vapviking]

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.

Welcome.
I had several Crafty's and found the app to be cumbersome; I didn't like the need for a second device to control the first device. I use the temp controls regularly, for a variety of reasons/experience.
Mighty is unquestionably the more robust product. If your use will be regular (i.e., not light) you'd be much better off with a Mighty.

The buttons of the Mighty are useless once you find your sweet spot but you'll find good use of the bigger battery. The one thing I miss the most (I have both) is the time count within the app. Even then I just discovedered it also takes count of the hours you spend charging the unit, not only your vaping time. So it's quite unrelevant as an information. Yesterday I charged it from a laptop and it spent more than 2 hours going full and stayed probably 1 hour more on blue light fully charged. Last time I checked it had 4 hours of operation now it has 7! I had just a 5 minutes session and it counted as 3 hours.

If you can deal with the size of the Mighty, go for it. I know a few people who switched from Crafty to Mighty, mostly because of the battery life.
If it is your only Vape or your go to vape, it should be the Mighty. The Crafty i see more as a special occasion type of vape, for example for Mighty users who want to vape a single similar bowl stealthy after work.

absolutely. lower temps = cooler, tastier, smaller 'clouds'; med. temps = still tasty and cool but less so, bigger clouds; higher temps = least tasty/cool, but the biggest clouds. I usually start around 165ºC, go up in 5-10º increments every 2-3 vapes. I usually change the temp at least 3x per session. it sounds complicated, but it's feedback-driven: after 2-3 vapes at lower temps, you stop getting vapor, so you know it's time to increase the temp.

different strains and types of cannabis (e.g. bubble or finger hash) behave differently, so the ability to control temps is very useful. I've had ginormous clouds from one strain at low temps that produced almost no vapor with another strain.

I wouldn't recommend the Crafty. Many of us started out wanting the smaller size, and after returning it 3/4 times finally moved up to Mighty. I haven't seen one post here about regretting that move, just the contrary.
I use the temp control all the time...

A good summary of the magic of the temperatures !!

With the control of the temperature in your power you can vaporize any flower (be cannabis or not) !!

here my case low-cost;

Hey im looking to buy a used mighty and i have a few questions regarding accessories.

I will only get just the unit so im wondering what at necessary items as i am trying to cut costs.

Im going to be getting the charger, capsules and a cooling unit. Is there anything else important? I wont be using it with a waterpiece

About the liquid pads... if i dont plan on using wax or liquid, do i still need them? Or could i use the pads with herbs?

Thank!

yes, they are great 'spacers' for smaller loads (there are 2 pad sizes for direct bowl or capsule) - maybe look for a capsule caddy or cap magazine for liquids to get some caps with pads, they last a long time...

A stand can be handy when time to fill. These are inexpensive and work great;

The S&B filling aid is also nice for transport (holding product) and clean dispensing, while some folks just use capsules all the time (S&B makes a different filling/carrying aid for that).

Will get the capsule pads. Out of curiousity, does the pad make it more efficient for the mighty, or does it simply just takes up more space just to put a smaller load. Like what if i put a small load inside the capsule without the pads? What differences are there?

Also is an extra cooling unit neccessary assume i dont drop/break it? Like does it actually wear out after x amount of time?

Extra cooling units are more for convenience at cleaning time. They don't really wear out, except maybe the o-rings and screen which you can purchase separately.
I can't speak to using the pads inside capsules, though some have said that it doesn't leave much room for product.
Leaving a capsule or chamber only part-full is not usually good; better for the material to be held stable, not swirling around in there. Some folks put partial load into chamber then top off with a screen (the "pac-man" method). Take a standard c/u or chamber screen and make a single cut with a scissor, from a point on perimeter of screen to its' center. This will allow it to size down and press into the chamber with still a little tension.

Do you know how much would fit in the capsule with the liquid pad vs the capsule being empty?

Im just not sure if i should get the pads since i have a pretty high tolerance so im not sure how much i would fill the capsule.

I have no experience using pads in capsules
I don't normally use pads for anything, either.

I have developed a technique of using empty capsule with just a pinch of material. Max temperature and capsule has to be inserted just after 210C temperature has been reached. Just a hit. Then if I want to medicate more, I add another pinch to the bowl and so on.

don't have a scale, but it also depends on moisture...
would guess around 0.2 a full cap and 0.1 with pad - but the performance is better with a full, lightly pressed cap, eg 0.1 crammed in a cap with pad works better than 0.1 filled loosely in a cap without pad (more space for air with less contact to material gives weaker clouds)
traditional hash seems to work also better with a pad, it gives a bit more even conduction

The mighty I,

Hello folks,

long time no use for the mighty I.
(no, there is no mighty2 yet)

I, as in personal proun.

Anyways, long time no capsules in the mighty.
Been used to Solo and hoppers lately.
all through water standard d20 (you know the one)

what i wanted to share are my thoughts.
Like a review revisited.

flavourwise it is not par with the solo.
hopper can create flavout but is soon harsh and painfull.
the mighty has flavour. yes
it has the mighty flavour.
not sure. its not bad not good.
its plain

BUT....

it delivers.
mighty feels like fuller cannbinoid content extractions.
seems round and solid.
there is nothing missing.
d'you know what I mean ?

one capsule.
one ore two small draws per tempsetting.
180°C, 194°C, 198°C, 205°C, full210°C

its fun to play with the buttons.
they really change the oven inside very fast once the main temps are reached.
10 draws from a approx .1 cap.

nice and easy stored away in a second.
looks not necessarily like a stoner's item.

it delivers.
in a very consistent manner.
medical and recreational.
trustworthy

So Randy at puffitup.com just sent out an email about a new, updated Mighty just received in stock (the old discount is gone). But I couldn't find any readily apparent list of updates. Anyone know what's going on? The S&B website doesn't have any info I could find either.

 

[Flower of empathy]

guess the +20% battery version finally made it across the sea

If you don't mind, could you copy and paste the email so we can read it?

I'm waiting for my Mighty from PUI and hope it's the latest model.

Dosing capsule mods????
I really want to use hemp filters in all my vapes as it makes the reclaim 10X more pure and hemp also makes vape cleanup go much easier.
What are you doing with hemp fiber filters for the dosing capsules???

IMO, the holes in the dosing capsules are way too big for my taste. ABV is getting sucked out of the capsules.

--I added a fine mesh screen in the bottom of the capsule.
--Also, added a fine mesh screen and hemp filter in the capsule cover. This upper screen keeps ABV from getting stuck in the hemp fibers---a beotch when you are trying to save your ABV. It keeps the herb and the filter separated. The filter and screen are not very secure though

I just find my miniVAP Flexicone modules much easier to use, to load and unload, and super easy to add hemp fiber filter, and they can be unloaded immediately with their silicone tops.

Dosing capsules would be much more inviting if I get a better filter system worked out.
Thanks for any ideas

Yea I just got a mighty from there less then a month ago. Now I'm kinda bummed I didn't get it later. Does anyone know the difference between them just 20% more battery life? Can you get your mighty upgraded to the latest version?

 

[justcametomind]

I only read that there was a new version of the Crafty with 20% more battery, nothing about the Mighty

Actually i would stay away from putting fiber in hot areas - flax fibers degrade thermal at around 170C, they loose elasticity... hemp should be in a similar range (if u still want to use it maybe inside the CU under the screen)
A nice way is to use a dosing cap with a liquid pad on bottom, then the (micro) load and close the cap not with the lid but a 2. liquid pad - for that to fit u have to remove the screen in the CU (the 2. liquid pad also can be pressed in the CU instead of the screen)

@justcametomind mighty and crafty use the same batterys (yay next update in only 5 years )the crafty has a bit more updates on the software side, but there is not much to improve on the mighty

 

[DopeyJ]

Here's the information on the updated Mighty directly from Jake at puffitup.com:

"
Hey hey Tony! The newest Mightys have an increased auto-shutoff timer and a boost mode that can be activated by pressing the power button twice in a row. The boost mode kicks the temperature up a set amount which is completely user adjustable. Outside of those two changes we have also heard user reports of improved battery life and the body being made of a harder plastic compared to the previous generation though we do not have official confirmation on those changes. I hope that info helps and if you're curious about anything else feel free to ask! =)

-Jake
"

So there you have it. I'm still ordering a Ghost MV-1 when I get my order email, but if it doesn't live up to the hype, would this be the next best thing?

My daily drivers are an Arizer Air, Volcano Digit (solid valve, so no reducer =/), Yocan NYX, and a flat coil titanium enail with the 16" double percolator rig from Amazon for $26.

I've also got the OG DaVinci, the Ascent, iolite, silver surfer, mflb, a diy mflb style concentrate vape, source nail xl, atmos rx, whisper, solo, whole host of Chinese knockoffs, some custom devices I've designed, and some others.

None of them tick off my needs, and if the Ghost delivers, it'll be what I've been waiting for. I know there are other on demand convection vapes, but Bud says 0.12g in that device goes as far as 0.2-0.3g in any other. That cost reduction in consumables is a huge deal for me, as is the ability to take a strong, 15 second hit while standing by the backdoor so I can blow all vapor outside so that I can keep watch over my young daughter while achieving pain relief (Crohn's disease) without exposing her to a single molecule.

 

[Flower of empathy]

Here's the information on the updated Mighty directly from Jake at puffitup.com:

that statement only summarizes some of the incremental updates over the past few years - eg my almost 2 year old mighty has the boost function...
but the newest update was seen at some crafty packages with a +20% battery sticker on it, so new mightys might have the same sticker?
