Well, I guess I would have some issue with the "expert" at POTV.
Arguments about the efficiency could be made both ways. Using a wpa doesn't necessarily involve inverting the vape, btw. Nor does it have to involve water.
Imo, opinions coming from retailers are to be taken with a grain of salt. It's like the car dealer telling you you need brakes; it is their obligation (in the interest of safety) but also their bias, because they need to sell brakes.
A friend who is a mechanic might take a look and tell you that you could safely go another thousand miles before needing brakes.
The loss of material to condensation in the cooling unit is well documented. Cooling causes condensation, the Mighty c/u works very well at cooling and so it produces condensate.
This is a major theme in vape use; the 'cleaning' process.
I don't question your method; I have done it. I know it provides tasty, cool vapor. I don't anymore because, for one thing, sucking through a tube tends to bring on my acid reflux (I seek a very open draw method). I believe there is no best way to use a Mighty, just the way it works well for the individual. And the methods vary.
For example, you could still use Mighty upright, with a whip, on a wpa instead of on the c/u, you just need the correct glass adapter on the end of your whip.
One of
these (female version) would do it.
I've used over a dozen methods with Mighty/Crafty; in the 'end' I have gone to default, factory, out of the box use with cooling unit, rarely even capsules (too small!), because I use it primarily for the car (or out of the house), to share with my wife or groups. It is so easy to load and use...we even use the orange filling tool.
I have other vapes that I can put on glass for major hits and stuff.
