I think if any improvements can be made is different materials in vapor path, less plastic more glass, metal, quartz, ceramic zirconia. I really think they should make modular bowl sizes. Small ones optimized for micro dosing, and a larger size bowl for friends. Keep the ratio of conduction and convection the same I think it's perfect, you can sip it or you can RIP it.
I have two that I use daily that gave me three years of service before any noticeable degradation in performance. And both still work pretty well anyway!At what point would u replace your Mighty?
One year of daily use? Longer shorter?
I always said with these full convection vapes they should put a tiny little mini fan inside below heater to push air up through herb while inhaling just like the desk top machines volcano and q has, that would help with draw speed and give quicker easier draws, plus I think it would have the same affect like blowing air into embers to light a campfire, it would get more things going alot faster.
You're suggesting that Mighty is a full convection vape and it is not, it is described as a hybrid.with these full convection vapes they should put a tiny little mini fan inside below heater
(I believe, btw, that @OF would say all convection vapes are mis-characterized...but that's a different discussion).
I have yet to find a better vape. Admittedly my experience over the past decade doesn’t encompass the variety of devices many folks here have tried. But nothing hits harder or more consistently IME.I rather adore my Mighty...can you tell! hahaha
I just find its really easy to say "oh, use better and safer materials" without fully thinking through the implications.
So, for those who don't like plastic (which is such a broad term for a HUGELY wide range of materials with their equally HUGE range of characteristics) and don't like AL, what EXACTLY would you want and where?
For my part, I would like to see increased max temp, owner replaceable batteries, a flat bottom so people aren't having to buy 3rd party stands, and that's kind of it.

Exactly. I don’t need to reinvent the wheel....those guys do the “work” so we don’t have to. (Don’t forget @BuzzDanklin, who also puts the Mighty at the top....Buzz is the one guy I always trust implicitly to tell me the hard truths about vapes.)you may not have tried 100+ different vapes, but vape critic (bud) and 420 vape zone (troy) have, and the mighty consistently ranks in their top 3. when those guys say they've found something better, that'll get my attention.
I often wonder at the complaints about the materials S&B used to build the Mighty....plastic and aluminum, specifically.
So, what is it that people want. Don't like the plastic enclosure, so make it out of AL and people will complain and start citing info from AL cooking pans? Make it out of SS, and everybody will bitch that their portable now weights 5 lbs.

I like the plastic enclosure. Don't hear people bitching about it getting hot during use...like say...the IQ?
I like the plastic enclosure because its easy to mold it with the cooling fins and other mechanical features while trying to do similar with milled AL or SS would be very expensive. I often hear people want "metal" over "plastic". But clearly not all metal. I mean, you don't want a pot metal, right?
I like the plastic enclosure as it seems that the material they used is pretty impervious to solvents the like and it doesn't weigh a ton.
For those who don't like the AL in the oven...what would you want in there?

Imo the fan is your lungs and diaphram. I do understand your suggestions about draw, but most of the mild restriction in Mighty is from the cooling unit. Bypassing the c/u, with wpa for example, frees things up a lot.
More air volume, from a fan, would require bigger heat units and different electronics in order to be able to create vapor fast enough. Otherwise the effect would be diluted vapor (too high an air-to-vape ratio).
The fan would be additional drain on battery.
I have a Splinter V1, a textbook convection vape (I believe, btw, that @OF would say all convection vapes are mis-characterized...but that's a different discussion). Anyway, my point is that by it's design, this Splinter has almost zero draw restriction when used in its' standard configuration.
For a user who has respiratory troubles, maybe a bag-type vape like Volcano is more appropriate.
So you do realize that the AL in the oven is connected...I believe its one part...with the air tube which is heated by the heating element. I believe that this is correct (but I am indeed often wrong haha)It sort of seems like you already answered most of your questions... Medical grade SS for the oven and an airpath that is not plastic. Glass, SS etc. There are other options already available that can be isolated within a plastic exterior. I really don't think its that complicated or would be difficult to implement. Other companies have done it. I am probably more concerned about materials than most tho.

SS does NOT have the thermal transfer dynamics of AL and will def take more power and a good while longer to get up to temp.
Just saying, there are always trade offs.
Rubber armored metal like a Tera along with the S/S isolated airpath heater and bowl (that takes less than half the time of a Mighty to get to temp).what EXACTLY would you want and where?
