The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

[johnnyCanuck]

Hi folks.

Been a Mighty user for the last 2,5 years. Been quite much satisfied, no problems...

Anyway, sometimes Mighty makes me cough like grazy...I keep it clean, clean the CU after every sessions and "deep clean" it after maybe every 6-8 sessions. It doesn't sem to matter what temp I vape at.

Any ideas? I used to have a glass stem and I have a feeling I didn't cough that muc with it but I'm not sure since I didn't pay that much attenttion to coughing back then...I got myself a Ghost MV1 and now I notice the difference (Mighty=Coughing, Ghost=Not coughing).

Any ideas? I really like the Mighty and wont let it go coughing or not, still not coughing would be much metter .

Happy vaping to everybody!

I’ve been experiencing the same thing. Only way I can keep the coughing to a minimum is to start at 160c and go up 10 degrees when the vapour thins out until I hit the 210c limit. Exact same thing was starting to happen with my original Solo as well as the M. All good through water but not direct.

I have a sneaky suspicion that it’s the difference between a mostly/hybrid conduction vape vs a more convection based vape.

No problems when using my grasshopper, SBJ, or haze pro (when it decides not to combust).

Or I could be totally wrong?

Thanks for the replies guys. I definitely didn't want this to end up being Mighty vs. Ghost fight. Like I said, I've been a satisfied Mighty (every day) user for many years...Some people have even stopped smoking and started vaping because of me and my Mighty ...So definitely not complaining here.

Anyway, I cleaned my Mighty under the base bottom screen ad this seems to help the problem...So could it be that little herb particles end up in the oven and cause the coughing...Don't know.

Oh, one more question. What grinder are you guys using for your Mighty? I'm using a NewVape Fine grinder and just by now been thinking if it grinds too fine for the Mighty...?

I'm visually impaired so can't really see if the little particles fall from the holes of the botom screen...At least there were something when I cleaned it up .

Happy vaping for everybody!

I like my 4 piece 88mm SpaceCase, it has a medium to coarse grind that seems to work well in all my vapes, the orange S&B is too fine, a marketing ploy to wreck your vape sooner and get you to buy another.
I just purchased another Tera for a friend after he tried all my portables. I did not tell him prices or where they were built. I asked him to guess and he said the Mighty and CF/x were the cheap Chinese shit obviously, his words.
I quite like the Mighty the flavor is good...for conduction, but I believe it is getting quite dated especially in this iPhone world (I like my controls on the vape personally, 3 buttons are great, on/off up and down...done)
I also don't go much on the loading/CU set up, magnets are nice and no crevices for plant matter to get stuck in would be good.
I have only owned my Mighty for a short time, so no doubt a new model will be out soon.

 

[Hogni]

It will...the next months if there aren't any changes after the company sale.

I use a coffee grinder and do about 1/8 oz at a time, ground pretty finely. I have the new vape fine grinder and a couple of others, but in the end manual grinders are too difficult for me to operate, so the coffee grinder it is. Works great for me!

I kinda doubt it's the grind. That vapor path through the cooling unit is pretty torturous. If you really think its small particles getting through maybe let your cooling unit get sticky so it would trap particles better. You can visually check this by inhaling through a tissue.

For what it's worth you really don't need a certain grind with a mighty. (i use a medium grind slx) No stirring required either. And you can put in small buds and vape without a grind at all. You don't get huge hits and it takes a while, but worth trying if for only shits n giggles.

Another thought, maybe it's your herb. Something as simple as the moisture level of the herb will make a difference. Anything sprayed on the buds, or a systemic pesticide will show up in the vapor. I've had an asthma attack after vaping herb that the grower later admitted that had been sprayed with azamax during flower. A lesson I haven't forgot. Even too much nutrients can have an undesirable affect. Anyway some things to consider.

My first post here, and it's of my Mighty sporting a 3D printed rear plate.

I recently re-edited and published my Mighty vs Solo 2 video. It originally published December of 2017 but was deleted a few months later. I trimmed it up and powdered my cheeks a bit.

Also, mighty is hybrid heating.

 

[HellsWindStaff]

Hey all! Just stopping in to wish everyone a happy New Year, hope the holiday's were awesome!

I have lots of vapes, and the Mighty gets my most use by far. It may not be my most effective, or my overall heaviest hitting, but it consistently works and pumps out awesome vapor. Use it multiple times a day. It's the chicks favorite and that's primarily why too

I am coming up on.....I believe 4 years come May. Never warrantied. Few of the fins towards the top of the unit have snapped, but they are purely aesthetic damage. My charger cord broke, but Underdog 12V chargers charge it pretty well! (Albeit, you can't use pass through). The battery life is marginally worse then when I first got it, maybe 5-6 bowls rather than 6-7.

In any case, I hope everyone's Mighty's treat them well and they have an awesome 2019!

The mighty is a very good conduction vape...but I prefer a convection unit and the mv1 rules!

It is a convection vape with added conduction. Not only conduction, sorry.

Well basically I wanted to say hi to the club.
My vaporbudget has taken a massive hit and I have joined the club.
I saw it at a very good price at a shop and had to profit of the sale.
Tried it out today and that Mighty is mighty.

The Plenty (most often with the chamber reducer) is my vape to go, so I did not expect a big difference in the experience.
It heated up quite fast. I might even hit it while waiting for the Plenty to heat up.
It was so easy to set a good temperature. It tasted nice, about as expected ( I know the Crafty too).
The clouds were dense and kept coming!
My Plenty absolutely needs a cleaning and a new coil or maybe a j-hook. Maybe I can get more vapor out of it (again?) like that.

I just checked the serial number of the Mighty and saw it is probably one of the earlier models. It came in the "old" blue orange box. Probably it was in that shop since quite a while. I did not expect the newest version anyway, so...
I thought, no worries, as I never read of huge problems with the Mighty.

Never say never!

Problem now is, at that early stage S&B did not yet produce medical models like at www.vapormed.com!
I must have gotten a recreational model, man, fuck that thing gets me so baked!
I did use it quite a bit to see if the batteries drain fast or if I got a model with the added 20% capacity they offer. I really think I have an old model.
Each filling helped confirm my suspicion



Should have gotten a Mighty a long time ago

 

[Hogni]

Don't worry. The models are exactly the same. The only differences are +100€+Label 'Medic'

Thanks, this is very good to know!


But I wanted to get medicated, not just high... now I got the wrong Mighty...

Be warned if ever I act silly, it was that recreational Mighty I got instead of the 'Medic', not me.
Should have paid that 100€ more, sorry



Edit: Forgot: Happy New Year everyone!

 

[shervin2]

The charger is such a pain in the ass with the mighty, since there is no stand or dock that anyone makes. I went online and found a 3d printed file with this side charging dock for the mighty and it's a perfect fit. Really makes charging and uncharging the mighty hassle free.

(RE: new S&B model) It will ...the next months if there aren't any changes after the company sale.

Did I read somewhere it's about the size of a Crafty or aimed as a replacement for Crafty?
Can you get any other clue(s) for us in time?!!
Wonder if it will use the same capsules or smaller? Or entirely new tech?
It's exciting (even if it was just the same with a glass CU/improved flavor), but financially I'm ok about waiting!

Hope these new guys don't screw it up and start releasing worse vapes instead of better or equal ones.

They did bring out a capsule filling set pretty recently, so I bet a new vaporizer model will be using these too.
Or they bring out a model specialized for concentrates/extracts. But they covered this with their conc. pads.

IIRC Volcano medic max temp is 210C. This was the only difference apart from a filter added to the bag mouthpiece.

Sorry, was anything unclear? The "Medic" and the regular "Mighty" are the SAME, absolute IDENTICAL devices! The only difference it the printed label "Medic" and additional costs of ~ €100.
The reason for that is the food and health safe certification by the TüV and that they can sell the Medic for more bc German health insurances pay the Medic for approved medical patients.

I got this info by a friend who knows someone who stays in close touch with S&B. And he only told that a new device by S&B will come this year w/o any details.

I may be wrong, but I believe Sick Vape is being facetious. I know were all high here, it can be hard to detect sarcasm sometimes!

 

[Hogni]

If so, sorry for my unnecessary clarification. I'm not high yet, I just woke up.
But it's not so easy for me to recognize because of my weak English skills

Yes i tried to be funny. Hence the misunderstanding.
I am very sorry, i should not try to be sarcastic/funny in a foreign language.
I just had to in regard of all that "medical against recreational" talk etc. I was reading lately.
My english is not better than yours so excuse me if I misguided you

 

[Faolan]

My mighty still makes me cough but puffing on it a couple times and passing it like a joint works well for me. I think it’s just the huge clouds it puts out

My mighty likes your avatar!

I doubt there is a cough free vape. Just too many variables. I've noticed on vapes that herb tastes good on, like a mighty, I cough less. And I cough more on vapes that don't taste that great.

If I do cough after hitting our mighty, I usually just turn down the heat.

 

[Mr420]

@Sick Vape, I really loved your post.. Englsih is not my native language either but just wanted to say I really enjoyed... People are sometimes too serious in these forums, maybe everybody should vape a bit more or keep the temp under 185 for more head high .

Anyway, I replaced the botom screen of the Mighty oven (in my earlier post I also spoke about the bottom screen of the oven, not the CU. I have never changed that during these 2,5 Mighty years and well...It was about time. I'm blind so I don't always notice these kind of things too early, haha. Just been noticing the decradation in taste and performance. Mighty has still delivered clouds all this time with the dirty screen so I've been thinking it might just be my super-high tolerance or something...So glad I was wrong.

Helped A LOT. Still some coughing but much less... And now that the Ghost vs Mighty conversation seems to boil hot, I have to say tat even though I love my new Ghost, after changing the bottom screen, Mighty is once again the king of big clouds. So different these two, can't really say which one is better...Lucky I have both ! Ghost for fast on the go-hits, Mighty for home use or "serious baking".

All the best to everybody. This forum is a great place, lots of information and cool people!

 

[Sick Vape]

@Mr420, Thank you.

Oh, changing the bottom screen of the oven is a good idea! Something I never did on my Crafty.
I wonder how many of the seeing users have ever changed the bottom screen.
I could see the screen getting darker in color, but I never made the connection to lesser vapour quantity/quality somehow.
Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Mr420]

Glad I can help, I've got so much help and ideas from this forum.

I've also noticed that even though my tolerance is high like the Eiffel Tower, it doesn't benefit me that much to vape the whole bowl instead of a half with a reducer. Being medicated lasts a little bit longer but definitely not double...So I've decided to start vaping half bowls in my daily rotation... Another big + here is of course the (smaller) amount of herb I use, my wallet likes that idea .
