The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

[MGG]

My Mighty started getting the E004 message, Australian Vaporizers were quick to offer a replacement, I haven't received it yet but it's on it's way. I haven't been paying attention to this thread and was interested to know if there was any differences between the original mighty and the new updated mighty asides from

- reinforced plastic
- different colour o-rings
- 2min shutoff

are their any other positives and negatives I should be aware of?
Thank you.

I wanted to be sure of my findings before i posted here about my "new"mighty i recieved via warranty..let my clarify it is a new unit and has serial number 27xxx but it is more outdated than the one i sent in for replacement which was serial number 17xxx. It looks good and cant tell which housing it has but it is super slow heat up and the worst battery life of the 3 mighty i have had and its maybe 40to 50 percent worse than my other 2. And the worst part is that its not hitting like a mighty should. And i feel ive got to know the mighty very well..at first i thought it was leaking air which it might be doing..so i emailed s and b and basically they told me there have been many updates but i prolly just need to use higher temps and the software is most likely different. And i recieved the same charger that i got with my first mighty and had heard they changed the charger but when i asked they told me if it was failing that many cell phone or tablet charger would work??i was kinda shocked at the way whoever cane back at everythi g i said..i responded so we shall see what they say next..my main problem with all of the minor issues is the one where its not hitting like my old mightys. Its vefy airy draw and hits..so my be leak or bad seal..but i feel they not gonna go easily with me on this..

Have you tested your cu off of the unit for air leaks?

I just got a new Mighty while my other one was away for a replacement and I agree. It's a newer model (27xxx), but the draws don't seem as potent as my previous Mighty. I haven't paid attention to the battery life that much to notice a difference, but I definitely sensed a performance difference with this Mighty and thought it was somewhat in my head until you posted similiar findings...

 

[subway13029]

Yeah man..something is not the same..i am getting medicated but seems as though no matter what i put in it ..the sessions are shorter and way wispier..i have emailed them again but no answer yet??besides rheir first crapola response.

I poster about it PAGES back when I first received my initial replacement 6 months (?) ago...but S&B weren't any help and I just had to live with it. But I did think it all in my head for a time too.

Since people aren't experiencing it across the board it makes rare experiences sound less credible.

@subway13029 just say it's getting errors again a new one.

I must say I don't get thick clouds, they are whispy
But it does work
I can get vapor on very low temps and cough my guts up on full temp
I assumed was the cooler unit doing its job!

 

[olysh pops]

@peterpiper have you tried @herbivore method ?

You may try this too, from bottom to top : 1/3 pad + 1 CU screen + solid hash layer + 1 CU screen + 2/3 pad - temp 195°C/383°C or 200°C/392°F.

I get very thick clouds if i pack the oven full and tight , smaller loose loads give me lighter hits . I usually start my session at 380 f and work my way up to 400 f sometimes .

 

[To_thy_cloud]

Just engrave it into the plastic or something :/ You are Germans you can do it!

Also got me a 7 buck Tom Tom case from Amazon will report back and link if it is any good for Mighty. It says two compartments and holds up to 6 inch devices. Cant argue for 7 bucks!

Why get a $7 Tom Tom case , when you can pay $49.99 for a modified Tom Tom case that is called a Mighty case

 

[peterpiper]

Thanks for tips guys
How do you cut a liquid pad in half?
Can't fill an oven as use hash,unless I can? Will it stay fresh
I use my lily and vapcap at the moment to get big hits and the mighty to start low.
maybe that's it I'm starting at about 173 usually then 183 the 195 then 210, this is from a thin layer with liquid pad on top so I can't complain

Battery only lasts 2 bowls

I've cleaned the unit 3 times and have an amazing amount of reclaim

 

[subway13029]

I'm starting to get this sinking feeling that the newer mighty aren't as powerful as the older models..almost makes me wanna go to my lhs where I know one has been sitting for a solid year.. Maybe they were too powerful..lol..I dunno but this sucks..

 

[shaolinmilk]

I wonder if anyone has both the older model and new model of the Mighty to compare... it'll be interesting to see the results.

To cut a liquid pad in half , you may try this :

Try with fingers to break pad in 2 part, crush it, stretch it maximum.
When you have stretch pad as far as possible, cut wire with a plier - where to cut may vary depending on size of the pad you need.
Then, with each piece of pad, turn wire(s) around piece of pad, cross it, until you get a wireball that you can crush with a flat object. Metal wire retain shape you give it.
Give new pad same diameter than Mighty oven and height you need.

Careful, end of wire may hurt.

With hash I get frequently 2 bowls too. But i get more draws by bowl than with herbs. 2 time more I guess. And high temperature (195°C/383°F-210°C/410°F) may use more battery.

Mighty can produce thick clouds with hash, depending of method you use, temperature and amount of material.

I have both. Other than the slightly-reinforced housing and longer shut-off time, they are pretty much identical in operation and performance.

You probably wanted more detail than that.

Mine is a 033, and i can say it's powerful as hell. I never try an early version but i'm very impresed making clouds at 180ºC

I purchased a mighty (#1xxx) and after 1 year, got a 27xxx after warranty. I also believe it is a lil weaker, but I like it because I don't need a water tool.

I mean its still a mighty and all but the unit i had that died was a POWERHOUSE and i loved it..tbey told me that software changes made and just to go higher than i normally would..im like this thing dont go no higher..lol

That really sucks , i would be pissed. I hope i never have to send mine in for repair , i also hope the company works on a new portable eventually. I try to use my mighty sparingly due to the fact i hear they are fragile and now even more after hearing your experience and the other members. I try to use my desktops a bit more now when i am home and prob use the mighty 3 times a week and only 1 session at a time. I wish this was not the case. Any reports on the crafty acting the same way ? maybe i'll grab 1 for a spare.

 

[spoutti]

Im confused you dont see much difference with your mighty from day1 to now @HellsWindStaff. I had never cleaned my oven for 6 months and was down to about 3 bowls per charge (I cleaned my cu a few times). The oven was really crusted. After I cleaned my oven like a new one, I gained an extra bowl and even more power. I think the crust acts as an insulant against the conduction properties.

My thing was I didnt want to scratch my oven. After reflection, I changed my mind. I went for for usefulness instead of trying to keep it like new and dont regret it, exept when I clean my oven and see dental pick scratches shinning back to me

Hello Folks!
I've been reading a thread on FC about using cotton while vaping.

http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/vaping-with-cotton.9892/

People says that it makes vapor much smoother and helps filtration. Has anybody tried it with the Mighty?

 

[Slow Draw McGraw]

tbey told me that software changes made and just to go higher than i normally would..im like this thing dont go no higher..lol

So that tells me that the temp readings are definitely not accurate now If they are telling you 'go higher' what about folks who Vape at 410F? Like you said, it dont go no higher. The reinforced housing and ect. would not necessarily keep the unit from cracking. it's still plastic and still subject to those temperatures. The only true thing they can do to prevent cracking is lowering the calibration of the temperature so it doesn't get as hot. If so, how about they tell someone instead of making us figure it out. I know a car is different but if I take my vehicle to the dealership, and they change something causing a different driving experience, I would like to know. A Vape is not different. A device I use to deliver medical effects that I drive everyday. People should know.

I have a brand new 23XXX and a brand new 12XXX. The newer firmware 23XXX holds its temp way better. The 12XXX sometimes "hovers" 1c or 2c lower than set temp and doesn't vibrate at times. Since both are like new and less than 10 hours, i'll take some comparison videos with the same strains and load sizes. They are both too new for me to decide if there are any differences in vapour production, but my first impression is that they are the same.

My new Crafty does the same temperature management dance as my newer Mighty which makes perfect sense. Given the choice, I would prefer the newer Mighty over the older.

oh don't get me wrong, nearly all of the cracks on my babies are 100% operator error

Just like bowl condition, cleanliness, etc. There is no reason that your Mighty shouldn't look like new if taken care of properly. All of these pics of biohazard Mighty's, broken casings, etc. must drive S&B nuts, and I can see why they take their stance on it and don't always send out brand new replacements. You don't even need to baby them, but I know that different people treat their things differently....and that's what karma is all about.

Yeah, I don't know :/ I usually use my Mighty at the same temp all the time, (397) so maybe the higher temp is negating most of the conduction loss from the crud? When I first got it, I was dabbling around with the lower temps, but found that I prefer it at a higher temp and just crushing a bowl pretty quickly. Still get about 5-6 bowls out a charge, I'm really never worried about taking the Mighty out and not having enough battery.

The 12XXX sometimes "hovers" 1c or 2c lower than set temp and doesn't vibrate at times.

I run mine in Farenheit, but it is an 119xx, and it does this all the time. Noticed it within a few weeks of ordering it, just didn't particularly care. Like it will hit 397, not vibrate, then the temp reading will go back down to 393-394 and slowly creep back up to 397, but it seems to take forever so I just hit it at this point and it seems to reset it when it reclimbs back up to temp.

Doesn't happen all the time to me either, but that is something I have noticed with it

I do agree with this. While operationally the old and new models are nearly identical, the newer is more steady at target temps, and vibrates consistently.

But you know how I know that, to me, they are identical operationally? During use, I can never tell which one I have in my hand. I have to check the sticker, or the housing, to be sure.
