The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

[RustyOldNail]

Five months along and still loving my Mighty. I like the idea of minor upgrades but don't mess with the simplicity or reliability. It ain't broke so don't fix it.

I usually use my D3D loading tray with different strains so I have a variety readily available but lately I've been combining strains in the caps so I wanted to give the big S&B loading tray another try. I've had some issues with it in the past, namely that the nubs that press the herb down into the caps were too short to do much good, the D3D unit is much better in this regard. S&B stuff generally works great together so what was I doing wrong? Looking at the S&B kit, I realized I had never tried the included plastic grinder. My standard grinder give a medium to coarse grind but with the 2-piece grinder I could get a much finer grind which made filling the caps a lot easier.

S&B says ~0.15g per cap, I use ~0.20.

So if you were to keep only ONE loading tray, which do you recommend?

 

[Djsleepy]

I don't think the Mighty+ has actually been released yet. We saw a charger that says Crafty+ and Mighty+ on the packaging so we think it's got to be soon...
I also speculate that there will be some distinguishing change to Mighty's case design, as they did with the Crafty+ 'swoosh'.
Oh, and it sure appears the charge apparatus will definitely be different on Mighty+.

Yeah my box says:

• Newest Version - Boost Mode / Updated Vibration
• Includes Improved Battery with 20% more Life

So that's why I was wondering about what mighty+ was....

 

[Moses Baca]

So if you were to keep only ONE loading tray, which do you recommend?

D3D. Most of the time I don't want 40 caps of the same strain, I like variety. It takes a bit longer than doing all 40 at once, though.

I bought the S&B kit first and I'm glad I did. It's a great value and I'm glad I got all the accessories. (plunger ) But for a very minimalist starter kit, I'd suggest a scale, the D3D tray and 40 dosing caps. Optional but recommended, the plunger and the magazine w/8 caps.

I saw the PLUNGER, in a S&B video, looked very useful, for at least getting the caps ON. I could not find it sold separately from the whole kit.

 

[Moses Baca]

Yep, it works great for me. S&B website lists it as available. Google search showed a few places. Lots of places say out of stock right now, though.

Oh shoot, it looks like Google Photos breaks links to photos. Let's try this with imgur:

Let me know if these still don't show up.

I see them!!

So I have a new Mighty, still in box and within the return window. I have other devices so I don’t NEED it right now, bought to quell 420 VAS and to take advantage of sales. Considering returning and waiting on the “+”. Even if it took several months, if it were an upgrade, I’d wish I’d have waited.
So, I’m wondering, do most consider the Crafty+ an upgrade, or were people disappointed with the new version? I’m assuming any Mighty changes would go along the same line as the C+. Of course this is all speculation rn, but $300 is $300.

 

[WildChild]

I sure would be happy if the Mighty + had a higher maximum temperature; at least 220C. I'm always able to coax a bit more vapor out of the ABV when I put it in my Solo II. Just sayin'...

I heard that some complained of a loss in favour going to the plus because of the faster heat up. I don't have either device to compare.

If it follows the same upgrade path (battery, heat up, styling) are you willing to pay regular price for the new model assuming they don't increase the price at launch. For myself in Canada that would mean $500~ compared to the $275 I paid.

I want an increase in battery life and I want faster warm-ups unless it comes at the cost of flavour. The styling doesn't bother me and although Micro USB would be nice, there could be disadvantages. Pass through charging could go and/or charging time could increase. If they add an app it would need to have "iterations" like the Hybrid to be worth anything imo. An app to turn my vape on is one thing for a desktop but it's useless for a portable imo. That could mean they remove the display screen. Oh it might stand up as well without an added accessory, that would offset the cost if you bought or had planned to buy one.

Or I could be wrong and this could be a huge upgrade but I'm not holding my breath. I'll happily eat my words if that's the case. The Mighty is so highly regarded that they don't really need to update it. The Crafty had poor battery life which was the best upgrade. Also reliability seemed to be an issue where as the Mighty seems to be much better in that regard.

I'd consider the vaporents subreddit a decent judge of what the average consumer wants. (FC is more specialized (and civilized haha)). The Mighty is mentioned so often there it's kind of annoying. I say that only because there are so many good vapes out there that get over shadowed because it's always "get a Mighty".

The long winded point I'm trying to make is that S&B does not have to improve much because the device sells (as far as I know). Most stoners know what a Volcano is and the Mighty is the portable from the same people so it has brand recognition. Just my thoughts.

I’m writing this to WARN anyone considering buying a Mighty, to beware of “vapor.com”, which I believe used to go by “vapornation”. I did a google search last week on a Mighty, unfortunately, @VGOODIEZ did not show up in the search results, and I had a brain FART, and forgot about VG....

Vapor.com, is also linked from the VapeCritic site, and I guess up till a month ago had good reviews. They have a tiny top banner on their site, it takes you to a page stating how they are staying open, shipping etc., and to expect potential delays due to Corona virus. All understandable, since I’ve had no shipping issues for the past 6 weeks, even from Florida, where they are located, as well as they state they have warehouses in other states, one in mine, so I ordered last Thursday. Showed up immediately on credit card as “pending”. Waited till this week just to email and ask if there were any shipping day estimate.

With no response, I went back to google, only to discover a whole lot of customers stating they ordered weeks ago, and have not had any email responses or shipping info updates. The company phone states they are not taking messages, their office is closed, but the site is still open for taking orders and sending out the automatic “order received” email.

So as many have complained, having problems is understandable and forgivable, but not returning emails, is not. So I’ve contacted my CC company, and since this charge is pending, there is nothing I can do, until the charge goes through, and then I can contest it. So that money is tied up, and I officially cancelled the order via email, the type they haven’t responded to. So BEWARE!

If only I had remembered VGoodiez, Mighty in stock (as of this post), and my last order shipped quickly. Duh....

 

[SquirrelMaster]

@RustyOldNail
Well that sucks. What did Vapor.com have it on sale for?

@RustyOldNail

It was 20% off list price. Better deal with VGOODIEZ, and I know it will come promptly.

Note to self: Never order vape products while vaping....

I would tell you to keep your Mighty and enjoy it. You've got one of the, if not the best portable vaporizer on the market, and you want to trade it in for what's behind door number 3. I'm sure there are a lot of people that love their new Volcano Hybrid, but there were also a lot of people that had to return their defective Volcano Hybrid because of melting plastic and metal shavings.


Ask yourself this question, what is the Mighty lacking that the Mighty+ could "potentially" have that you need, or can’t live without. I've watched the video that shows how to change the batteries in a Mighty...it's not that difficult for people that know how to use a soldering iron or gun. I don't see S&B increasing the Mighty+ temperature range, because of the risk of melting or fire, and it’s highly unlikely they will make the batteries removable because that opens up the potential for people to use the wrong batteries. Let's put all of that aside for a moment; ask yourself one other question. When exactly will the Mighty+ be released? It's all speculation right now because some member(s) got an adapter that had a + printed on it. With all that being said, I would tell you that you need your head examined if you return a tried and true vaporizer loved by scores of people for one that "might" be released, someday. Especially if you take into consideration that the original Mighty like the Volcano Hybrid had a few issues like breaking fins when it was first released. Look at all the issues VapeXhale had with the OG Cloud when it was first released. I could go on and on, but you get my point. I try to avoid purchasing anything from a car to a vaporizer during its first model year. Let other people deal with the recalls, repairs, and that come with being an early adopter.

Just my

Go back through this thread - there has been speculation about a new version being released for the past few years.

 

[simplywonderful]

lol what one statement can cause, is anybody sure that mighty + is in the works and its not just hoax?

 

[RustyOldNail]

Nobody is SURE of anything, just boredom, fun, speculation. As I was surfing the web, I thought I saw a mighty for less then the usual $350 list price, but was distracted and could never find that page. But it simply reminded me that one sign of a new updated product is often the older ones going on sale to reduce stick on them, and push out the new ones slowly. I have the current one on the way from @VGOODIEZ I’ll be interested in seeing what they come up with, after the Crafty getting a facelift, it’s not hard to speculate a Mighty refresh is in order. But considering today’s climate, even if they have an updated model, perhaps they will hold its release a bit.

I’ve heard S&B is as secret as Apple when it comes to their products, so I doubt anyone here works there and wants to risk their job & home, by sharing the real story, anyone?

Sorry I just got back to the thread after almost a week and saw this talk of the Mighty+. Is this what started the discussion?

On a side note, I have used my mighty for almost 5 days now.. Still haven't read the instructions (something I never do) and because of this... I have a few noob questions if you will.

1. I have used nothing but flower so far.. and only in the dosing capsule which I love. Should I keep doing this this in order to keep the oven clean? I know some of you.. if you had the chance with a new mighty, you would right? Just to avoid the nasty brown ring I've seen posted in this thread? I gotta admit, I really have to try flower in the chamber just once using the filling aid just to see if there is a noticeable difference. Is there? If you guys had a brand new mighty, would you just keep using the capsules and keeping this clean or do you think a few times without the capsules would really leave a mark?

As far as Concentrates go, I'll prob want to try it too but only with a liquid capsule and pad.. not just on top of the included pad that is meant for the oven only. But I remember trying this with the Plenty and I wasn't too impressed.. I'm fine with my low temp dabs with my evo and quartz nails in the meantime!

2. I had no idea when I bought this but I thought it actually keeps the temperature exactly to the point.. It doesn't.. When I set it to any of my temp steps... I notice that sometimes the temp will drop 20 degrees below what it's set at and no more than 5 degrees above it. Is this normal? Tonight, I'm going to be paying close attention to how much the temperature drops after setting the temp.

To be clear, I'm not letting the auto shut off kick in.. but to see it drop down to 336 when I have it set to 356F has me a little concerned... Is this normal? I'll have more to report back tomorrow. I'm still within the 15 day return with Puff it up so...

3. I have no problem filling the capsule straight out of my Medium SCS grinder but can I fill the dosing capsules with the filling aid or magazine? I got a Magazine of 8 inbound, let me know!

And what about the filling set and that plunger? I've seen the videos of them using the spatula and set.. does that plunger really work? I wasn't thinking of picking that up with my magazine!

Thanks guys!

We know there's been a recent Crafty+ release and we see one member has received a Crafty+/Mighty+ charger, so we thinks some plan is afoot. I believe the rest is speculation.

1. Exclusive caps use will keep bowl cleaner, longer, but aren't you just dying to fill 'er up per design and let the thing rip? Just give it a quick brush or wipe after if you can. I mostly use caps now, with c/u screen removed. It helps conserve some bud...the bowl on mine was shot long ago.

2. Doesn't sound right to me, mines varies +/- by 2 to 4 degrees C.

3. The dosing cap magazine lid (the clear part) is a filling funnel that can be placed directly on top of a cap. Very clever design. When filling a batch for the mag I do use it often, but daily practice I stuff a cap right out of the grinder.

Some folks are liking the filling tools (S&B, Delta3dstudios). They are a little more paraphernalia than I'm interested in tracking. One guy recently said he changed his grind (to finer) to facilitate the material's use in the filling tray. This sounded like a sacrifice to me because I like a medium grind in Mighty.

One last caution. Be sure to always insert caps lid-up, in either the chamber or the magazine. Upside down will jam it in there, being pushed further down as you tighten the c/u or mag lid. Not a good situation.

Enjoy!

No, it's not normal...it shouldn't fluctuate more than a few degrees in either direction when idling.

I see on vapor.com twitter they are running 10 to 14 days late on shipments.

They really hooked it up for me on my Crafty+ so i didn't want anyone to think these guys suck. They must me having a hard time right now.

As I mentioned in my original post, totally understandable that there can be shipping delays, but if you read the amount of complaints regarding NO email contact for weeks, not days, that’s hard to understand, and certainly not good for reputation. My money is now locked in “pending”, that’s not fair to the customer. That delay of shipment notice you saw is on Twitter, is not that detailed on their website, far more general, enough for me to place the original order. Buyer beware.....

Im waiting for vapecritics review lol he was at least honest with volcano hybrid and mighty + Its quite shameful that they went for profit and forgot that they were once making medicinal devices lol

You’ll be waiting a long time for that review. VapeCritic has retired from reviews, as of today, his forum is “read only”, no new posts.

I just got a new Mighty and I'm not bothering with the capsules. The oven eventually does get a bit grungy, but only over an extended period of time. I cleaned my old Mighty's oven maybe once a year and it still looks pretty good. There's a little grunge around the notch where the screen goes, but that's it.

Hi guys!
I want to share with you a small project I'm working on these days.
These are only prototypes but I hope you will like them.

Let me know what you think, if there were the possibility it would be nice to create something together. I love this fantastic device like you and I would like to create things to make it even more enjoyable.

Greetings from Sicily!
