The LCD screen crapped out, just got dimmer and dimmer until it was unreadable, apparently, there were a few like this, a bad batch, trust me to wait so long to finally jump on board and get one of only a few lemons ever recorded.:myday:
My new one is still nice and bright (the bad corrugated Aussie roads can kill all sorts of electronics):tup:

Anyone not using capsules??

I've had my mighty for 4 years, never used capsules.

I use it outdoors in cold weather all the time without any issues

I use it with bubble hash on top of the pad - works great

I use it with wax on top of the pad - works great (but don't put in >.05g or it can get messy)

I've used it with hard hash, broken into tiny bits, under the pad - works great

the only thing I've come up with that might not work is 'live resin' (it's runny) - but I haven't tried it yet, so it might work for that too.

there's a reason why this is top-ranked by 420 vape zone (troy) and vapecritic (bud): it's great!

How about the dreadful cold? :(

Looking through the manual I see it says “Operating temperature: 5°C - 40°C / 41°F - 104°F”

its 0°C here right now...

What I would take from that is, if you use it often, or store it below these temperatures you're not fully entitled to complain about wispy vapor or strange battery behaviour or anything that may result?! Just my opinion.
I believe battery cells don't like these temperatures, and it might be asking a lot of the plastic casing in terms of flexibility too?
I've seen plastic things break strangely in cold!
So, as I read in some other vape thread, keep that baby close to your body inside pockets when not in use.
Although I think their situtaion was around minus 20 ambient!

Also about @Etsu s question about reliability I would put the Mighty about equal with a Solo or maybe an Iolite.
And maybe 3-5 years could be around average, but I'm not sure about that. All depends.
The warranty seems much better than Arizer for Europeans and maybe other non Canadians too.
The plastic casing is a weak point, and the known failures are screen and power button and it is probably related to rates of failure on the components used.
I worked in electrical and I would get items that on rare occasion were just DOA or failed and it was just sorry, we'll bin that, here's another.
Once I got a new wall socket that was shorted live to neutral out of the box. Took a while to find that fault!

Thinking of @LesPlenty with the vibrations I used to keep my Crafty in the tail piece of a sports motorcycle on some bad roads and it was fine in a padded pouch, though I did worry!
What about a cheap foam case or even blankets or cushions?
I gues you know all the tricks!?

Great info! It will be stored in a cold postal office for the next two days until Mighty comes to its new home!

I worry about condensation now...as a portable vape I need something for the winter...sold my fierce as it wasn’t cutting it...

I just bought my 2nd mighty. my first one has a bunch of chips out of the plastic surrounding the bowl area. bit by bit it chipped until I stopped using it. I had to tape the mighty together as it was falling apart from the lack of the plastic parts. it's a real mighty, I'm just a bit rough on it but i'll treat this new one better.

I bought a ghost mv1, hated it, bought a vapexhale which I like a lot but I missed using a portable. as i was looking to buy a new portable, every single thing kept pointing at the mighty.


I now have 2 mightys , 2 vapexhales (i shoved a plastic straw cleaner down it and it's now caked in plastic, and 2 ghost MV1s (which in the end they just let me keep and I got my money mostly returned as they both had a problem).

I vaping on my herbalizer bag at the moment. it's good to have choices. :)

I experienced malfunctioning with portables (or phones) more than once when freezing cold outside. I don’t think it will extend the life of your Mighty. Think of it as an uncorded Plenty for now.

what kind of issues? anything permanent? I have had a couple of iPhones shut down but that’s when I left them in the car. a couple of times it wouldn’t turn on til I got home...

its very very important to me to have medication on the go - I don’t combust anymore...

also, I have zero use for two plenties...

I fully agree with what @justcametomind is saying. Taking the Mighty out in cold temperatures is not the best plan to extend it's life. It will put a lot more stress on the batteries and the structural integrity of the plastic housing could be compromised. It's a great warm weather or indoor 'portable' vaporizer.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Happy Holidays.

I had a phone screen get a bit laggy at around -10c. Maybe that's what they mean.
I think just protect it from frost or cold when not in use, all electronic vapes are going to be similar.
If it's very important to you, maybe it's not a big deal if the battery has a few less bowls in some years?

Get a pouch or case? Inside a vehicle or on your person, that should be alright.

Great answer! I’m thinking a nice retro Fanny pack...

420 vape zone (troy) and vapecritic (bud): it's great!
I watched a live feed with Troy in the other day, he was ripping the NMighty as usual but could not edit out the coughing fit he had, it seemed like normal for him! I like big draws and vapor but I do not like coughing like a bastard after each puff so Troy's version of smoothe is a lot different to mine. (both Troy and Vapecritic said they still combust too so I mow take their idea of great flavour with a grain of salt.

I gues you know all the tricks!?
Inside thick socks for easy access, our roads can get pretty bad, this is not unusual,

Endless miles of this stuff wreaks havoc on electronics and mechanicals.:tup:

they both seem to go to higher temps right away, no 'temp-stepping'. in vapecritic's review of the linx hypnos wax pen, he says he uses the highest setting (red); pretty much everyone else likes the low temps (green/blue). one thing you don't see (much? ever?) in this thread is complaints that the mighty makes hot hits.

fwiw I think both reviewers leave coughing fits in for entertainment value; they could easily edit them out but clearly choose not to. I've been guilty myself of laughing... even Bill Cosby did a great coughing routine -


and how many coughing scenes did Cheech and Chong do?)

Good place for a road grader salesman, lol. Or maybe a dentist to repair lost fillings.

Thank you @blackstone for all the useful informations.
@LesPlenty and @stressed wow knowing the mighty has several sorts of well known failures is not reassuring at all. Hope 2020 will welcome a new vape to compete with that beast
I checked out when I bought my first mighty.. it lasted one year from purchase to taping it up. BUT, I vape all day every day. it was my daily driver. i'd probably load it 25 to 30 times in a day. anywhere from .05 to .1 per bowl. I've already loaded this broken one 7 times today. it's 6:30 a.m. :)

and I would be kind of rough when twisting the top part on and off hundreds of times.
it's still the best out there.


edit: I just watched a 420vapezone video. they guy explained that you should never tap the top part of the mighty on the body of the mighty as it might break the plastic parts. that is exactly what I was doing. tapping it an untold number of times to clear out the abv. no wonder it broke duh!



after not using the mighty for a long time, I had forgotten what a pain in the ass the auto shut off is. I hook it up to a bubbler and just hold the hose. I tend to space out, take a long toke and then realize that once again the damn thing is off. :)

Hi Guys, new here, just saw vapezone 420 video about the volcano hybrid and I'm just worried if anything could be unhealthy about the Mighty. I'm on my 3rd Mighty it's my absolute favorite but no way would I risk my health of inhaling any plastic/metal particles or w/e there may be. Can anyone explain to me if this could be the case for the mighty?

I doubt it because it doesn't have the 2 separate pieces of aluminum that touch in the bowl area. I don't have a mighty at this moment to see for sure however. I do remember pictures of the guts of a crafty and there wasn't anything that rubbed on the metal bowl or heating element. I think we're good thank goodness.

Extreme temperatures are bad for rechargeable batteries and electronics in general. Use common sense, don't let it get too hot or too cold for long periods of time. An icy cold Mighty is going to take a long time to get up to temperature. Cold batteries lose their charge faster and then they have to use extra effort to heat a cold oven.

I decided to go with the dosing caps for convenience when I'm away from home. I'm in a non-friendly state and the quick and easy caps work great. S&B did a nice job with the system. A cleaner oven is just a bonus.

I'm still loving my Mighty through water when I'm home. Cool and smooth and easy.
