Thanks for your answer, I'm experiencing the same, perhaps I should explain myself better or provide some photos. With air intake I mean where the air travels into heater, the very first gap just above the display. My side-walls are so gunked, it's nearly impossible to clean the bowl like new anymore. With the
very fine scratches from taking the sieve out and putting them back in the resin has something to stick on. Tried a ISO-soaked cotton ball for minutes in the bowl already, doesn't work. Never had this problem with the volcano, but there I was never tamping down bowls, so I think
@radiant34 is right about build up in the bowl from compressing the load.
I'm more concerned about the heater itself... I hope it's not gunky like the bowl is, but since there is even resin on the intake I can't imagine how vapor is making his way through the device without causing some build-up. I hope it doesn't affect performance too much over time. If so I will sadly have to get some free gifts while warranting my device.
If anybody is interested in a MV, read the thread over there before buying one (I think you would anyway, even without my advice
)
I can agree that in terms of taste the MV is way better than the Mighty, we could name it vapor quality. But it's dry to the throat if you don't have WT or glass or anything like this. I mean really dry, not to say harsh. With the provided accessoires it's not usable, you have to buy something on top if you don't have a box of accessoires. Whips are only cooling, the vapor is still harsh. I think this is caused due to particles and plant materials you inhale a lot if you use the MV like it's sold. The Mighty CU does a much better job catching these particles in the very turbulent vapor path it has. The vapor of the MV is so hot with the plastic mouth piece and just the flexicone plus that the taste has a bitter side-taste. I have to agree
@murf2010. The Minivap is an around-the-house-vape exclusevly. It's too beautiful to just throw it in your back-pack or even the car, you should always carry it in the provided bag (and a seperate bag for glass and WT).
If I'll ever find out how to enjoy the MV dry
and not needing a bunch of accessories I'll come up with a solution for the portability problem a friend of mine is currently working on.
Anyways, the mighty hits much harder imo, and this is luckily not the MV thread. I should add, I use my mighty with maximum conduction effects with obviously gunks the bowl faster. Perhaps I shouldn't and only load half the amount more fluffy to prevent the bowl from resin... Like I did with the MV. But since I now the Mighty eats even tamped ungrinded nugs I did this perhaps too often.
I'm still looking for a desktop which can beat the mighty in terms of vapor quality and conduction effects without using water. E-nano? Glass core minivap? Plenty? Even thinking of concentrates and the omicron for faster recreation...
Edit:
@PPN , it's not the mighty, but it gives you an impression of the production process:
