Haven't seen anyone say they'll be buying one. I guess I'll take one for the team when the time comes lol. I'm curious how a faster heating, no (less) metal bowl tastes like? Probably not too different. I just wanna give in to my vas i guess

Zero surprises, that's unfortunate. Literally everything that has been revealed everyone has been predicting for months now. Still, will be a top vape when it releases just because the Mighty is the little engine that goes and goes...

I probably won't pick up one for a few years. Mine is still chugging along greatly.

RE: Pass through charging on Crafty +: My beloved 3-year-old 20% more Crafty(a free and speedy S-B replacement for a failed og Crafty still under warranty) was failing with flashing blue/red lights a few weeks ago, it was way out of warranty, and I was obsessing about and then ordered a Crafty +. Somewhere S-B specifically says the C + doesn't do pass-through charging while vaping and trying to do so could damage the vape. (Fortunately installing a new jcat battery solved my temp sensor problem and so I'm still delightedly using my old Crafty.)

I will as soon as I can get back to working as I only have a Dynavap and a Miqro for portables.Thing that really blew me away was when I got my Miqro I used the same flower I'd been using for months in the Dynavap in the Miqro and....OH MAN!! The high was way more better all around.If I did not know it was the same flower I would have thought it was stronger and different flower.

Since then the Dynavap collects dust as the high with the same flower in the Miqro is just that more potent.And I did use the Dynavap a few times in between using the Miqro and it just was not the same.But anyway....

I figure one or two more portables for me and I am good.Have a couple of interviews to go and as soon as I am hired I'll pick one up when I can get my hands on one.Not crazy about a $50 increase but if it is good I figure,''pay once cry once.''

It's unclear if it's just a ceramic coating or a new ceramic bowl.
To me ceramic > aluminium. 100% even though this is a small change it's the one thing i was hoping for, that they would move away from aluminium.

Storz N Bickel did say the screen is 'improved'

Personally I'm glad they didn't add bluetooth.

I actually wish the video was a bit longer and went into more detail.

I really want confirmation on if Crafty+ has passthrough charging.
If it does then that's my next vape. I think it'd be really disappointing if they managed to get passthrough working through USB-C on the mighty but not on the crafty.
If you run out of battery with the Crafty+, you have to let it charge for a few minutes to get to a certain minimum. After that, you can use it while plugged into the charger and have your whole session like that. However I think the charger is only strong enough to hold the charge while vaping. It can't fill up the battery at the same time.

BTW the Crafty+ charger is Micro USB, not USB-C, and the port doesn't feel very long-lasting.

.. Still no official WPA from S&B?

They should have changed whole construction for that, I guess.

I stopped useing the wpa since it damage the vaporizer/ heater in long term. The Heater starts wiggle so... Quality is really weak for such expensive product .... Mighty is not good to use with WPA . It is too heavy. Maybe it does work better with the crafty.


However , S &B decide to be a Cash Cow.

No Innovation, just sell a lot of products as a "wannabe premium product", because they have a big market share since they dropped their old milestone 10-15 years ago. but since then literally nothing happens!


I personally can not buy another S&B product . I dont see any really good Changes. Sad story imho. 10 -15 years Mighty and S&B
and the best improvement is an USB Port and it can stand by itself now ? Really!? :lol:


How can they be that arrogant? :clap: Have they even watched what the competetors are doing? :doh:

The whole Marketing and Public Relation is a really big joke for me. ;) I can only laugh about that and feel ashamed at the same time.

I wouldnt say anything if this product would cost now 150 dollar less, but they higher the price for such crappy improvements while they keep the old technology.

I guess S&B will lose the game in the market on long term to be the very best vaporizer with such stupid behaviour.

Its gonna be a poor dog soon.

With this announcement they've changed Crafty+ to usb-c, (and added ceramic liner to the chamber) available soon...
I bet it is still aluminium under that ceramic coating.:2c:
So a Mighty+ with a jhook gets rid of the aluminium/plastic in the vapor path after the heater but that heater is still aluminium...good enough for me...once Black Friday rolls around...maybe.

Those tabs for feet upgrade make the old saying that S&B made the Mighty that way so it would not fall over and break a bit mute, it now looks very ready for a spill!
Yeah, when I bought first Crafty (2015) it was $399 USD and over time it came down, as did Mighty that started at over $400, so they've kinda reset the clock now.
Candy bars in the US go through similar cycles (I've been in and out of Snickers dependency, so I know).
As they follow inflation and markets, the size might increase (now 20% more! etc.) then after a bit the price will increase. The next year they'll reduce the size and the price to simulate 'savings'. A year or two later, the cycle repeats, but the fact holds, you get less for more money.
So, yeah, there will be sales and reductions, they've just gotta start a little high to skim that cream off the market. The patient will be rewarded.

The feet; I have been a big proponent of the idea that S&B had certainly not let og stand on its' own because of risk of breakage, even from a simple face-plant. It has happened to mine. I'm pretty leary of this concession on the part of S&B, but, whatever.

so…
Given that:
-you can get any vaporizer on the market for that price, even2 really good different units.
-The crafty+ with usb-c can be used on an external battery making it very close to a mighty+ imho

Does that make sense to buy a 400$ mighty in 2021? Is it that good?
Never tried the mighty , so genuine question here.
I mean … i can get a decent portable( one of the 510 mod, or a davinci for exemple), and a plenty for that price.
Or just a tafee, or a tinymight….
Or a crafty+ new version + a good external battery+ a bag of herb😅

you can get the OG mighty for ~$280 from a bunch of places (check vapospy). I imagine the price of the mighty+ will slowly come down over time. personally, I'd replace my (OG) mighty in a minute if it died on me - the only reason to look at other portables (IMO) is if you want 'on-demand' or if 2 min. heat-up doesn't work for you. it's a great device: that's why the changes are minimal after 5+ years - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Here in 2021, I have some other vapes that are quite different from Mighty, most of them less $, most of them are convection vapes. I still bought a new Mighty, it is the only and best one of mine to sit and share with my wife through a leisurely session, maybe several bowls. I'm just not referencing the Plenty (it's a pluging) or the Crafty+ (it still has to stop to charge now and then) though as I mentioned just above, it's getting to be a closer call (for me).
Price-wise, I agree it is strong, but again, that will come off a bit. The Mighty I purchased new this year was $279. I also consider German design and construction to be generally a cut above most, that is worth something. I would be curious whether warranty is now 3 yrs? rather than 2?
Other vapes check a lot of the boxes, stronger than Mighty in some categories, but this one is da bomb whatever you compare it to.
I'm curious to see how this whole Keynote and the new M+ is received by Troy and Jerry!

If even troy is still praising it as the best vape ever, i highly doubt people will stop buying it. but its really arrogant and stupid to rerelease the same vape with a new USB Port and a standing fin after 10 years of development.
wont buy another s&b vape..

I always said time and time again it's going to be small incremental updates. Similar to what we saw on the Crafty+
Mighty is one of the best if not the best portable vape on the market.
Plus just got better; takes almost half the time to heat up, ceramic upgrade over aluminium, 'improved screen, usb c, standing fins.

What did people want really? It's a Mighty PLUS.
It literally explains what it was going to be in the title.
I don't know why people expected some completely new design and then say they won't ever buy s&b again?

I'm keen to grab a crafty+ IF it has passthrough which has yet to be confirmed.

If there's a vape that's significantly better than the Mighty in the same price range I'd jump to it, but currently there isn't.

I literally called what the update would be months ago :
"• 30% faster heat-up
• Significantly improved runtime
• New, slick design for optimized grip and feel
• Improved housing material
• Super-Boost: Triple-pressing power button gets you to max. temperature of 210°C (410°F)
• Improved electronics and optimized circuit board"

^ These were all updates announced for the Mighty... Plus:
+ USB C
+ actually more than 30% faster heat up (supposedly) (possibly closer to 50% faster claims storz n bickel, yet to be confirmed)
+ New ceramic coated bowl
+ Standing fins
+ 'improved screen' (whatever that means)

People want replaceable batteries and whilst they would be a nice addition, here's the reality, this is a medical grade unit, they cannot offer replaceable batteries on a medical grade unit and they would have to change the design in such a major way that it would no longer be a 'Mighty'
If your batteries fail it doesn't take that much skill to replace them, I can do it and I have no background in electronics.

My only disappointment from the announcement is the lack of detail surrounding these updates and the lack of a upgrade in battery (as seen with the crafty+)

I think S&B could have sold the whole thing better to it's customers.
I don't think people realize how much better the Crafty+ hits compared to my original mighty. They did a lot to upgrade the heater and the electronics. Granted it's not night and day, but I find it more consistent and denser. Troy mentioned the same too.

So why are we getting small incremental upgrades? It's because of Canopy Growth which now owns Storz n Bickel basically.
They are pushing the company to have more regular releases. Apparently there was some agreement to come out with over 30+ new vaping products? This explains why we are getting things like 'gold volcano' 'onyx volcano' because to release 30 brand new products is basically impossible. But to change the colour every now and then is doable. Now that we are getting through covid and S&B have finished construction, expect more products to come out faster in the coming years. We may even see a concentrate device from Storz n Bickel if we're lucky.

I am not convinced they actually did that. i bet even the + will chip/break after 2 years of use. (and this is the only "grief" i have with the mighty/crafty.)
