Is it safe to soak the sealing rings in ISO along with the cooling unit?

I would not soak the rubber rings in iso. You can use iso to wipe them but I'd rinse immediately. Iso is not good on rubber.

I go where the thrills are
I soak mine, but usually a short time, like five minutes. Never had any problems. In fact I've never had to use a new O ring in either of my Mightys.

I don't soak them for more than 30 min to an hour and they seem fine. I was thinking about whether the use would degrade them and cause them to release chemicals in even if there is no visual damage. Just confirming that I'm being paranoid.

I'll try that. I've been running it around 375 and it's great, but it kicks through loads in a wink of the eye. Starting off at a lower temp seems like a good strategy with it.

wish I could find some of the previous posts on this topic for you. I'll try to summarize, at least what I do.
Cleaning Mighty & Crafty c/u and chamber (I'm adding this line for easier searching in the future)
Separate the top & bottom of c/u and remove mouthpiece. Leave screen and seals in place.
If you want the reclaim, scrape it out and put it somewhere -- on some oil pads, maybe. Using a fine screen in c/u helps keep the reclaim free of particles.
Drop parts in a ziplock baggie and add iso to cover them. (I have had some bags, newer type, leak with 99% lately, so I'm actually using the 91% til I work this out).
Fill a glass or bowl with hot tap water and put the baggie in there. Take baggie out and give a shake every couple of minutes. The heat helps the alcohol dissolve the resin. Parts can stay in there from five to 30 minutes or more, no problem. If heavy gunky, reach the brush down into the baggie and brush the parts with iso.
When clean, put all the parts in water (small amount of dish soap optional), swish around and rinse with lots of water; set aside to dry.
When you reassemble, be sure the small o-ring (at the sliding lock) is pressed all the way down on it's post, so it doesn't get snagged by the lock.
Check for leaks. Put thumb or finger over the c/u screen and suck or blow on mouthpiece. Should be sealed, no air escaping.
Screen in chamber may require clean/replace much less frequently.
A warm, not hot, bowl is easier to clean
I use a small piece of Magic Eraser (rinsed thoroughly with water to clean it first) with a little iso (or water) to clean the bowl, and just touching the screen (while in place) cleans it nicely. Some folks avoid the Magic Eraser; use paper towel or q-tip. Sometimes removing the chamber screen is nice, so you can clean below it. This is so rare for me that I will then replace with new, but you could clean the screen and re-flatten with pliers to re-install.
Using dosing caps has really helped a lot in keeping the bowl and its' screen very clean. Bowl gets a little sticky near the top and that cleans very easily.
Having 2 or 3 c/u's can be a bonus, clean all at once, less frequently.

Hey, I need some help. I'm interested in buying a waterpipe for my Mighty, and I need some recommendations. Right now, I'm stuck between the D020-D and D021 from DHGate. I think I'm leaning towards the D020-D, but it is more expensive. I just wanted to know which one is the best for the Mighty, or if there are better water-pipes out there.

I'm glad you like it. The Mighty is actually very hard to disappoint based on my experiences with other people.

I love the device, but I have been very disappointed with the RMA service thus far. At this point, it most likely will take a total of 3 weeks for me to get my device back. That sounds like nothing I have heard from the RMA stories. They just started working on it yesterday. God knows when they'll ship it out, and what shipping plan they will choose.

First Day after the Upgrade from crafty. I upgraded because you can´t turn of the Bluethooth on the crafty. With no BT I get an excelent high.
The Mighty looks harder to open than the Crafty. Is there a how to tutorial? After the warrenty I want to change the battery myself.

There's a screw underneath the black label. Once removed, the two halves of the body slide apart, vertically.
I have not done this, only read about it.
One member, now legendary @Vambo1980 , has done the battery swap on his Crafty many times and has well over 500 hours on it. He also changed the location of a heat sensor in there...
How does Bluetooth (or lack of it) affect your high?

Microwave radiation interrupts the comunication between brain areas. Half a year ago I got electro sensibility, because of high radiation (24/7). Muscles start to cramp, tinutus and sleeping is imposible.
After the Crafty use, my brain felt smashed.
Now I´m relaxed, just one screw to open the Mighty. Is it a Torx6 like the Crafty has?
I pressure cooked my cooling units in salt acid water befor first use, to remove smell, worked pretty well. The first huge drag took my vacuum cleaner on max. temp.
.
How about warranty time? Do I have 2 years from now on or when I bought my Crafty?

Hello Mighty people! 
I've received my Mighty yesterday, I took the upgrade after two crafty.
Aside the fact it is bulkier, I'm really glad I took the upgrade.
The construction feels more strong, the two minutes timer and the multiple vibration before the shutdown are awesome, and obviously the small screen is a really cool feature against the Bluetooth app.
And the heating time.... Wow, coming from a crafty I was totally shocked when it was ready under a minute!
They even gifted me a free capsule on my mighty's box, I don't know if it's the norm but I'm really glad they did.
I hope this one will last a some years!

Over time, the only things Mighty users concede about Crafty are; it's smaller and it can stand up by itself. (Consider getting one of @Ratchett 's nice stands for Mighty, and one of the silicone water adapters)

Oh yeah I forgot this standing issue.... That's a weird engineering choice!
Thanks for reminding me the ratchett's stand
As for the water adapter, it's time to salvage some crafty's CU

not sure is anyone has posted this yet but i just received a case i bought on ebay to protect my Mighty, it fits like a glove and was cheaper than chips (depending on where you live) at £2.05, i wouldn't say its primo quality but it anit half bad http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381706946230?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=650764901077&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Hi guys !
Well, they offered a bit of hashish. I know it's not very pure (Hard in Portugal!), But wanted to try the mighty. With a lighter, heated enough to be maneuverable, and undo and can see in the image. As it is not much, not completely fills the chamber and not to walk loose, methyl one screen to try to keep in place. But it is not very effective. 1. avoid using the pad liquid, not to scratch the sides of the chamber (This takes efficiency to the vaporizer, right?) 2. The screen, put in concave shape for the same reason (not scratch!).
They have some idea of keeping everything right without scratching?
I should not vaporize hashish?
Although not pure, remains healthy?
Big hug

How much difference in draw restriction when using the glass mouthpiece? I'm thinking of going with an 18mm piece to use it in a J-Hook, HydraHoneyComb tube, and my little FC-187, but dry so vapor doesn't condense so much.
I don't own one, yet, and have a couple of questions. I have had a Volcano digit for years (can't remember how long), but I just sold my Plenty, because I just couldn't gauge how big of a draw I was really taking because of the way it's heat feature functions (rises and then falls), and I couldn't see the vapor as I was drawing, since of course the cooling coil/vapor path is metal. I could've gotten a glass adapter to see vapor, but the heat function on the Plenty is just not accurate enough for my budget, and other needs. Sometimes a session would end way before expected, and at other times the PLENTY would seem ho go for forever. I just couldn't gauge from bowl to bowl how many draws I could get out of one packing. I'm just looking for consistency, an easy to use "Plug and Play" portable with an lcd readout, and I would like it to extract/medicate at least as well as my Volcano if I pair it with all glass, and have the same results every time. Not 10 draws for one session, and then 5 for the next. I'm hoping the heat is measured in a different location on the Mighty, and hoping it will darken the ABV very well for pain, tremors, and sleep. Does it medicate well, or are there other portables that can possibly do it better? The FF2 worries me because of seeing a suggestion to use alcohol and a duster, which would knock bit's of cooked herb in the path, and I'm not sure of it's results, or draw resistance.
Anyhow, if I use an 18mm adapter with a Mighty will I get rid of the draw restriction, and does anyone feel the draw restriction from the factory mouthpiece is keeping the speed of the draw at bay so it somehow better cooks the herb? Ah, and if I use a very small amount with a liquid pad, will that work, or do I need to pack a full bowl? I like to stick to 0.070 to 0.14 per vaping session until my symptoms subside. I'd like to feel the Mighty is capable of conserving herb. My Volcano does great with a .070, especially with the liquid pad.
Thank you for your help.

Good morning @Vapor Trails ! I can give you my
for some, but not all of your questions, based on my Crafty experience. First off, it evenly bakes your oven and the abv will be the same cooked color throughout, so don't worry about that.I prefer smaller loads too, and there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. The pad works, but I prefer using a cut screen instead (with a wedge cut out so it looks like pac man). Many here have started using the dosing caps, and they can weigh in on using them for smaller loads, but I think that works too.
I find the Crafty has very little draw resistance with the stock mouthpiece. But I haven't tried any mods. I just haven't found its needed. Others can give you their opinions on that too, and let you know their experiences.
Hope this helps!

I think it's a tall order to find a portable that extracts "at least as well as a Volcano"!
But I only know Volcano by reputation. I have a Mighty and find it does not have excessive draw restriction (unless packed full and tight, then it's more noticeable) at least compared to Pax 2 which is notorious. Compared to Grasshopper I'll say it depends also on density of load. (the Hopper has little restriction and extracts great with small load, but availability is spotty and reliability is spottier).
Putting a glass adapter on Mighty is slightly less restrictive than the stock c/u and mouthpiece. Again, it may depend more on the load and/or screen you use (if any) in the adapter.
Mighty's reputation leans more toward weed-hog session than conservative vape, but the small load is definitely achievable with some practice. The 'top screen' described by @Mr. Me2 works fine and doesn't need the cleaning that an oil pad eventually will. Take a stock screen and make one cut with a scissor, from edge in to center (then it looks like pac man). The screen will then be able to adjust to a little smaller diameter and still give a press fit to hold the partial load in place.
To answer one of the finer points, I don't think the cooling unit is intended to delay delivery of vape for better herb 'cooking', if anything it is delaying for reasons of cooling. Even with no c/u, only a glass adapter, you can hit hard and the vape will keep up.

Yeah, I was really disappointed to see how little the Volcano released, and if combustion is all inhaled (low % combustion tests are calculated as if someone were burnung a joint and not taking it all in) and none wasted, combustion beats out the Volcano at 75% absorption from combustion. Bummed me to know my Arizer Solo is extracting more than the Volcano.
Here's some data that have been floating around on here, but good data to have.
"Recoveries of THCtot and CBDtot in the vapor of 4 electrically-driven vaporizers were 58.4 and 51.4%, 66.8 and 56.1%, 82.7 and 70.0% and 54.6 and 56.7% for Volcano Medic®, Plenty Vaporizer®, Arizer Solo® and DaVinci Vaporizer®, respectively. Decarboxylation efficiency was excellent for THC (≥ 97.3%) and CBD (≥ 94.6%). The gas-powered Vape-or-Smoke™ showed recoveries of THCtot and CBDtot in the vapor of 55.9 "
Volcano - 58.4% THC 51.4% CBD
PLENTY - 66.8% THC 56.1% CBD
Arizer Solo - 82.7% THC 70% CBD
DaVinci - 54.6% THC 56.7% CBD
"The largest difference was seen for THC vaporized from THC-type cannabis with 54.6% and 82.7% for the DaVinci Vaporizer® and the Arizer Solo®, respectively. Here, the yield differed by 50% between the device with the lowest and that with the highest vaporizing efficiency. Lowest recoveries between 48.5–58.5% for cannabinoids from cannabis were obtained with the DaVinci Vaporizer® and the Volcano Medic®, whereas the Plenty Vaporizer® released 56.1–66.8% of total cannabinoids into the vapor. Best recoveries were obtained for the Arizer Solo® with 70.0–82.7%. The better the recovery the less drug (cannabis or cannabinoids) is needed to deliver a defined therapeutic dose to a patient. This is an economic issue in terms of cost-effectiveness of the therapy with medicinal cannabis. Another aspect is the reliable and constant release of cannabinoids into the vapor to guarantee uniformity of the dosage, reflected by the RSD values obtained for the different devices. All electrically-driven vaporizers showed small variabilities with RSD values ≤ 13%. Excellent reproducibility was found for the Plenty Vaporizer® (RSD ≤ 6.5%). It is also important to note that the design of the vaporizers had an impact on the yield of cannabinoids released with the vapor. Devices such as Volcano Medic® and Plenty Vaporizer® providing rather cold vapor for a mild, less airways-irritating inhalation revealed a smaller recovery of cannabinoids in the vapor compared to Arizer Solo®. However, this device, designed to release a maximum amount of cannabinoids into the vapor and lacking a cooling tube, produces a rather hot vapor, which may be less tolerated by patients."

So, I'm hoping the Mighty for or Crafty for their cost would extract more comparably to my Solo, instead of extracting only around as much as a DaVinci. In my theory of mind, the Mighty with a short 18mm adapter and a good custom 18mm Steam Roller (from joda) would reduce condensation further past the point for the Plenty or Volcano Medic (Vapor condenses in Plenty coil- Condenses in Volcano bag), because it can only adhere to that small section of glass. I simply like different Vapor profiles like I like different audio/speaker/headphone profiles that are transmitting the same sounds, yet give a different experience, and I do enjoy the S&B profile, but would like like to know that for just over 3x more money that the Mighty would extract comparably to my Solo. The Solo is here to stay, and I have a Vortex stem for flow, but I was hoping the Mighty would be effortless with a glass adapter.
So no real difference in strain relief/ease of draw with an 18mm adapter, and to have a session of say a 0.1 doesn't do so well with the liquid pad, and it is better to custom fit a screen (if I'm understanding correctly)? The reason strain relief is important to me is I am coming from the Plenty which flows freely, and heard the S&B portables are 300% harder to draw from, and again I thought the glass adapter might eliminate this, but it sounds unfortunately not so :/
