This is just a little update/review for anyone reading this, debating if they should but a Mighty. I personally debated about buying a Mighty for medical use, for months. The cost, was what kept putting me off. I broke down in January, and bought one. I don't enjoy getting high, and only use it for micro-dosing. It's a several time a day thing for me to control pain. Since i dont enjoy getting high, this wont be your typical Mighty Fanboy love letter review.
First thing I noticed: This thing is powerful, and I needed a way to calm it down! I came on here, raved about it, but i wasn't experienced with it, and was simply amazed at the power this thing has. It knocked me on my ass for several hours the first few times. Since I don't enjoy that, this was bad. I don't enjoy it, as I'm a stroke survivor. I have permanent brain damage, and rarely like things that alter my brains new "normal" state.
After several months now, I'm much more experienced, and am writing this before dosing. I've now came to the conclusion, that I should have bought it sooner! That said, its even more expensive then i thought. I sure am glad I stuck with it though.
I was a little worried at first, as the Mighty isn't generally a vape the comes to mind when talking about micro-dosing. It worked ok, but I seemed to be wasting a lot, as I couldn't finish it all at once, and leaving it in, isn't ideal.
I ordered some dosing capsules, and that made life easier. I was using less, and wasting less, and it seemed ok. It was still too strong, and every capsule still seemed to have too much. I kept measuring smaller and smaller amounts, which didn't have the best results, as there was now empty space. At this point, my thinking was, If this was as good as things got, I had probably wasted my money, plus the money for dosing capsules.
I definitely liked it better with the capsules though. Not amazing, or the best thing out there. It took me months to actually save enough for the Mighty. And then the added expenses of the dosing capsules. Not to mention all the product i was wasting. When will the expenses end!?!
Then, I bought the liquid pads designed for the capsules. Before they got to me, I had decided this was the Mighty's last chance. I wasnt going to spend any more on it. While waiting for the liquid pads, I actually checked used prices, in case I decided to sell it.
The liquid pads transformed everything. It went from simply "ok", to one of the best purchases I've ever made! Now this is what I was expecting! I can load my micro amounts, and get the exact results I wanted. Just enough to cut the pain, but not enough to really alter my brain. The liquid pads are a little stiff, and finicky the first few times, but they keep holding up.
I bought extra capsules/liquid pads, and now have 2 magazines. I used a marker, and now have 1 magazine of 8 for my regular, and 1 magazine of extra strength, for the extra severe pain days. I suppose, the same process could also be used for different strands rather easily, or a daytime/night time idea. Whatever works for you.
For me, the Mighty, while using the liquid pads to take up the extra space in the capsules..it's just perfect! Extremely easy to use. After the liquid pads are loosened up a little, they become extremely easy to refill. It keeps things extremely clean inside too.
The best part? With the liquid pads taking up extra space, but still delivering top-notch efficiency, I am not wasting any! The Mighty, used in this way, is now Saving me money! I'm definitely using less product then before, with zero waste, which is saving me money. Ok, technically it's still paying me back from the cost of the Mighty. It's covered the costs of the capsules/liquid pads/and accessories (see note at the end for accessories comment)
Zero waste? Well, ok, a Little waste, but that is my fault. The ABV is perfectly consistent. I simply haven't found the perfect dosage when cooking with it. My only waste for the past couple weeks, has been the ABV, and figuring out how much to use. Some ABV has been wasted in this process.
The ultimate question for me. If my Mighty (named More, as in eenie, meenie, Mighty Moe) was stolen today, would I buy it again? Absolutely! For me, 99% micro-dosing, this is Perfect for me. My only complaint, is that they should include a liquid pad for the dosing capsules with the purchase. The one capsule that was included, died a horrible death due to an accessory, after only a couple uses. If there was a capsule sized liquid pad included, it would have saved me time/frustration/and the loss of some product.
I truly hope this posts helps someone who is debating if they should buy a Mighty. Absolutely buy it! If you are micro-dosing, I personally consider the dosing capsules a necessity. The dosing capsule liquid pads, are also a necessity for me, but that will depend on individual tolerance.
Side note about accessories: After 3 months, only 1 dosing capsule has died, and that was due to an outside (not S&B) product. I bought a "Dosing Capsule Sleeve", to help organize things from delta3dstudios.com. The sleeve is so friggin tight, I crushed the capsule just trying to get it out. The funnels I got from there are awesome, but I simply wasted money on the sleeve, and it got thrown out with the trash in anger/frustration.
I like the S&B magazines, but really wish they were smell proof. The magazine lid, holds my doob tube perfectly, which helps with refilling. (I keep some product already grinded in a doob toob for when I travel)
The S&B keychain holders are great in theory. I dislike them though. Keeping track of full/empty capsules are a pain, unless you have a second container for empty ones. Depending on grind, a tiny amount can also come out while transporting.
I bought a generic keychain "pill holder" through eBay. It opens on both top, and bottom, making it easier to take a full one from the top, flip it upside down, and add your empty. Still a hassel, but for less then $1, it's a slightly better option. Keychain style, just isn't for me.
