Had the Mighty for years and loved it, just upgraded to this. I did a full iso wash of the cooling unit and then turned it on to max temperature to make sure there was no residue. Got hit with a strong smell of plastic that got much worse when i tried taking a couple non-inhaling draws through it.
I also have an extremely expensive and high-quality Dyson air purifier in my room. It immediately started going crazy, showing values of PM 2.5 and PM10 that I've literally never seen before, and I just lived through the LA wildfires a couple miles away, so I've seen some really bad air quality.
If I smell my cooling unit, I can still smell the strong smell of plastic. The heating unit has a similar smell but much, much more restrained.
Does this happen to everyone, and I'm just being overly sensitive to the plastic smell? it doesn't have that slight "new" plastic smell to it, it smells strongly of burning plastic. I've never been this skeptical of a new vape's effect on my health before, and I did things like buy the first generation firewood 12 years ago.
EDIT: Well, I think I found the source of it. If I remove the mouthpiece, you can see that one side of the little circle (used to pop out the sealing cap) is shinier and looks a bit warped compared to the rest of it. it looks exactly like what would happen if you exposed a bit of the plastic to extreme heat and it melted. This is so unbelievably disappointing, the entire reason I was willing to spend $500 on a vape was because I trusted this company. Don't even want to think about what chemicals I inhaled while testing it, jesus christ.
