The Mighty+ (Plus) is a portable dry herb vaporizer made by the company Storz and Bickel out of Germany. The Mighty vaporizer is best known for it’s unique hybrid heating system and best-in-class battery life. The Mighty+ is an upgraded version of the original Mighty vaporizer released back in 2014.
Storz and Bickel also manufacture the Crafty+ vaporizer, a more pocket-friendly version of the Mighty+, the Plenty, a plug-in type home use vaporizer, the Volcano Classic, the original volcano desktop vaporizer, and the Volcano Hybrid, the newest version of the Volcano with the added whip system.

My original Mighty vaporizer still works to this day. Sure it’s been dropped a dozen times and the battery life is nowhere near the capacity as when it was brand new, but it still works. That’s pretty much my motto when it comes to the Mighty vaporizer (and all Storz and Bickel products), they just work.
The Mighty+ is my most used vaporizer because it offers above-average battery life, it’s extremely easy to use in both single person and group scenarios, and it’s the most consistent. The biggest downside to the Mighty+ vaporizer is the size. It’s hard to pocket and not easy to conceal when out and about.
You can click here to pick up the Mighty+ vaporizer directly from Storz and Bickel. The OG Mighty will still be sold for a bit and it’s definitely still worth grabbing at reduced prices. Read on below for my full Mighty+ (Plus) vaporizer review.

Size & Portability
The Mighty+ is kind of a “BIG” deal – The Mighty plus is one of the biggest portable vaporizers currently on the market. The exact dimensions are 5.5″H x 3.2″L x 1.2″D and weighs roughly 230 grams. By comparison, the Crafty+ (plus) weighs 140 grams, the Pax 3 is about 100 grams, and the Firefly 2+ is about 140 grams.
Can I Pocket the Mighty+? – The Mighty + plus is definitely not the best dry herb vaporizer for concealment. The Mighty+ can easily fit into a backpack, handbag, or a bigger purse but it’s not the most comfortable to have in your pocket. I compare it to sticking a pack of ramen noodles in your pocket.
So I consider the Mighty+ to be a great group vaporizer and not so much for personal concealment type use. It’s very easy to hold and pass around plus the outside remains cool to the touch. The fins on the outside act as heat sinks and allow the exterior of the vaporizer to cool no matter how you hold it.
Dosing Capsules and Water Pipe Adapters
The accessories are pretty standard with the Mighty+ but they did add in one dosing capsule. The “dosing-capsules” are small canisters that you can throw in the chamber for “micro-dosing” with the mighty. Micro dosing allows you to only vape a small, usually specified, amount of dry herb to achieve lighter effects.
You can also pick up a WPA ( Water Pipe Adapter) and some glass to use while at home. I’ve found this method extremely enjoyable to use while watching shows or playing games at home. Check out my Mighty & Crafty+ Water Pipe Adapter Tutorial for more info.
Heating & Temperature Info
Hybrid Heating Style – The Mighty+ utilizes both a conduction and convection heating method, also known as a hybrid. This allows it to produce tasty dense vapor extremely consistently and without the need to stir.
Temp Options – The Mighty features an LED 1×1 display with easy-to-use buttons on the side to control the temp. Sort of like on the Volcano Hybrid but on a much smaller scale. You can select any temperature from 105-410F at any point during your vape session. It’s nice to have that precise control for different types of herbs or just vaping at different points in the day. Different temps, different effects.
The Mighty does NOT use the smartphone app like the Crafty, you can do everything on the vape itself.
Heat-Up Time – The new Mighty+ takes about 60 seconds to heat up which is faster than the Crafty+ but overall a bit slower than the rest of the competition. Once it gets up to temp the Mighty holds temp well even while skiing in the winter.
Chamber Info (New Ceramic Coating)
Mighty+ Chamber Size – The Mighty plus bowl holds about .25 grams of dry herb depending on grind style and how you load the chamber. You can get upwards of .3 grams with a super fine grind.
I can usually vape an entire bowl in about a dozen or fewer draws which make for faster sessions than most session vapes. The Mighty+ is extremely easy to use.
How-to-Use & Loading Techniques
How-To-Use the Mighty Vaporizer – Press the power button and it will automatically begin heating to your set temp. It will show the default temp, actual temp, and battery life remaining. No holding buttons or batteries. Just wait for it to heat up and you’re ready to go. It’s that easy.
Loading Your Mighty – Just load the herb, reattach the Mighty+ cooling unit and vape on.
ALSO, the Crafty+ and Mighty have the same filling method, but the Mighty has a slightly larger cooling unit on top.
Battery Information (USB-C Charging)
This category is where the Mighty+ shines especially with the newly upgraded USB-C charging options! The Mighty Plus is my highest-rated portable vaporizer for battery life.
Average Battery life – I’ve been able to get an average of 8 sessions in before the battery dies. That’s 90+ minutes of average continuous use.
I’m not for sure if the Mighty+ has full pass-through charging because I don’t have the USB-C Supercharger yet. As for now, the Mighty+ can be used while charging but it seems like its partial pass-through, meaning it needs some battery life to charge + use. You can’t plug it in from dead and use it.
Charging Times – With the extra batteries and battery life, the Mighty+ needed some big charging power. The good news is that the new Mighty+ vaporizer uses USB-C charging and can be charged practically anywhere. Downside is that it takes roughly 3-4 hours to fully charge the Mighty+ Vaporizer via a 2A 5V brick because it’s only charging at 15watts.
You will need to pick up the USB-C Supercharger available from the Storz and Bickel website which charges the Mighty+ to 80% in 40 minutes and much faster charging overall. The Storz and Bickel USB-C supercharger can charge at 15v 3A which can charge the Mighty+ at 45watts.
So while the USB-C charging is a nice feature, its going to take a lot longer to charge your Mighty+ if you don’t get the USB-C Supercharger or a brick that can output higher charging specs.
Original Mighty (2014) vs Mighty+ (2021 Model)
The original Mighty vaporizer was released back in 2014 and it’s been due for some upgrades for quite some time. While there are quite a few upgrades with the 2021 Mighty+ vaporizer, my personal favorites are the USB-C Charging, the upgraded screen brightness, and added one-year extended warranty when you register via the Storz and Bickel website.
Here is the full list of upgrades on the new Mighty+ vaporizer (2021 model):
- USB-C charging allowing to charge the Mighty vaporizer basically anywhere now.
- Mighty+ now uses Ceramic Coating vs Aluminum on the original Mighty.
- Super-Charge functionality feature charges 80% of the battery in just 40 minutes. (separate charger needed, not included, roughly ~$25USD)
- Pre-set booster temp will raise the session by 27 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heats up in 60 seconds vs 120 seconds on the original Mighty.
- Increased screen brightness and vibrance.
- New “legs” allow the Mighty+ to “lean back” rather than lean forward creating a more stable platform.
- 2 Year Manufacturer Warranty + 1 Year added when you register. The original Mighty only comes with a 2-year warranty.
- New outer heatsink design for better airflow, easier to clean, and no sharp edges.
I have no doubt that this new Mighty+ will be my most used vaporizer for some time. I would also suggest looking for a reduced-priced original Mighty vaporizer for sale because it is by no means a bad vaporizer. I still used it pretty much daily up until the new release of the Mighty+ vaporizer.
I haven’t had enough time with the new ceramic coating to officially say whether its better or worse. I have noticed that the chamber doesn’t seem to “cook” the herbs when not in use but could just be the new chamber.
Mighty+ (Plus) vs Crafty+ (Plus)
The Mighty+ is really in a league of its own. This is the best vaporizer if you want the most battery life and don’t really care about the size or concealment. But because of the size, I rate the more pocket-friendly Crafty Plus vaporizer higher.
The Crafty+ Vaporizer is one of the best vaporizers to come to market and I dub it the absolute best personal vaporizer. It’s easily concealed, even easier to use, and uses the same heating technology as the Mighty+.
The main differences between the Crafty+ and Mighty+ are the average battery life, size, and a slightly larger cooling unit on top. The Mighty+ has also proven to be more reliable than the Crafty+, especially under heavy use. However, the vapor quality, ease of use, and consistency are the same in both units.
It basically comes down to whether you need the portability and concealment or if you want max battery life. You can check out my full Mighty vs Crafty Plus comparison if you wanted more info between the two.
Mighty+ (Plus) Warranty Information
The Mighty+ now features a 3-Year warranty when you register your Mighty plus via the Storz and Bickel website. The Mighty+ (plus) comes with a two-year warranty with purchase but the extra year is exactly what the Mighty+ needed.
Mighty+ Vaporizer Review Summary
The Mighty+ has great vapor quality, it’s easy to use, and is one of the most consistent vaporizers I’ve reviewed. You can pack the chamber in any fashion and you will get the same great results 99% of the time. I personally still have my original Mighty from the end of 2014 and have put more hours on it than any other portable vaporizer I have.
Should you buy the Mighty+ vaporizer?
- Can you use it without having to hide it?
- Can you store it on the go?
- Do you vape with friends?
- Do you need the best battery life for long-day adventures?
If you answered yes, yes, yes, and… yes… then you will more than likely love the Mighty+ vaporizer.
If it wasn’t for the large size, the Mighty+ (plus) vaporizer would be my highest rated portable vaporizer but it’s just not the best for all of the “on-the-go” scenarios. I prefer the smaller Crafty+ Plus for nights on the town or events where I have limited space.

Hey Buzz awesome review. I’ve had a crafty since they first came out. Used it for 6 months and it died so I rma’d and decided do sell the replacement because the reliability seemed questionable. I just recently bought the mighty because using my vapor brothers unit was too time consuming to use. Unfortunately the taste of the vapor of the mighty still can’t compare to vapor brothers to me, I knew this before buying the mighty because of my previous purchase in the past but I don’t see anything better out there. Do you know of a portable the can deliver the clean taste of the old school vapor brothers unit?
Hey Special K,
Pure convection units like the old school vapor brothers (which was actually the very first vape I ever bought back in 2006) are very tough to beat in the flavor department. They do lack in consistency and vaping evenly departments which is why a lot of the portable manufacturers produce conduction or conduction/convection hybrid units (like the Crafty/Mighty) so that there is more consistency and less learning curve for the masses. If you pick up a pure convection portable with my favorite being the Firefly 2+ you can get the pure flavor you are expecting from the VB. However be aware, like the VB you will also need to stir to get a fully evenly vaped bowl, it will also require more draw speed control like the VB, and overall just won’t be drop dead easy like the convection conduction hybrid Crafty and Mighty.
It’s hard to choose between the mighty and crafty..Mighty it is!! This review and the comments helped quite a bit. Knowing you’re here to help is reassuring!
If you do not need the extra portability of the Crafty, then I would go for the Mighty. Either way you will be happy in the end though, they are both great units
I have a question, As a health conscious person, doing my research on vapes it seems like the mighty & crafty would be the way to go.
Which other portable vapes would you recommend that has excellent build? (example using titanium, glass, medical grade plastic etc)
Thank you!
I would recommend Arizer, Pax, Firefly, Ghost, Vapexhale, Davinci and also a couple of butane options, Dynavap and StickyBrick. Most manufacturers offer legit medical grade products but be careful where you buy from. I always recommend buying straight from the manufacturer or from an authorized retailer.
The Mighty isn’t great but what is far worse is Storz and Bickels customer service levels. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS
I am really sorry and a bit surprised to hear that their customer service didn’t treat you well. Overall S&B generally has one of the more effective customer supports in the industry. Would you mind elaborating a bit more on your experience and maybe I can help out in some way.
Why don’t you post all reviews?
I do post all reviews, I just have them set to manually approve because I get a lot of spam and advertisement comments that I have to wade through. Unfortunately I have been quite busy the last few weeks so I got a bit backlogged on comments. Sorry for the slow response and I hope you have a great day
Let me try and keep this simple:
• March 2016 purchase Mighty on Amazon
• November 2017 fault develops the USB port on the device. Having read online that they will often upgrade to a Mighty I
asked the question. The response was they will for €50 but (NOTE) ONLY if they agree to the warranty claim
• I send in the Crafty for assessment, they agree its a manufacturing default so I agreed to pay the additional €50 for an upgrade to the Mighty.
• The Mighty charger fails after two months (for which I just went and bought a replacement) only the Mighty starts literally coming apart in July 2018.
• In absolute confidence that this was a bonified warranty issue I contacted them only, to my absolute horror, learn that apparently, the warranty runs from the time of the original purchase.
• My only option is now to pay a further €79.00 to have the case repaired
So, here’s why I have an issue:
• I bought a premium German product expecting it would be backed-up with a high level of customer service.
• Despite them agreeing it was a manufacturing fault I showed goodwill and actually parted with more money for an upgraded product
• There was NEVER as much as a mention that the new Mighty would only be covered for 10 weeks. That’s preposterous
I am actually disgusted with them and was wondering if you could offer any assistance or advice.
Thank you
Simon,
I am really sorry to hear about your situation. I do believe it is their policy is the warranty is from the original purchase date, however since you paid to upgrade and the Mighty broke within a year you do have a bit of an argument. If you had purchased this through a reputable distributor such as Vapeworld they would take care of you themselves no questions asked, unfortunately with Amazon it’s a bit of a crap shoot since vapes sales are against Amazon rules so the sellers on there are usually listing them in obscure categories and are often fly by night operations. I still think the best option is to contact the Amazon seller you purchased from if they still exist and see if they can help. If they cannot help I think you should send another email to S&B and lay out the entire situation and exactly how much money and on which dates you spent it. I would be very polite but also let them know you are frustrated and expect more from their premium brand and price. If none of this works I would like you to message me back again.
Can you use solids in this machine?
As in hard soapbar or softer pollen resins?
I use a spice grinder to shave the resin before using in an old stlye joint.
Just wondering if the vaporiser machine would work?
I guess finding the vape point for them would be the hard part…
I’m not for sure on that one. It only goes up to 410F so maybe it won’t get hot enough? Check out FuckCombustion and see if anyone has any recommendations. Sorry I couldn’t be more help with this.
How many hits can you get with a full load/bowl?
10+ easily. Depends on temps and how much you pack in the chamber but a full bowl with temp stepping will get you a lot of rips.
Hi – Great review thank you for that.
Can you please tell me if you would purchase this now? I know yours is a few years old and just wondering if you had a choice would you buy this again?
I’m a huge fan of the Volcano been using it for over 7 years without issue. I was using the Pax but I don’t like how hard I need to draw and how small the chamber is.
Thank you.
I would absolutely still get the mighty. They just did an upgrade to the battery and the added in some nice accessories. I still use mine daily and it’s always in my bag for biking, skiing, hiking, etc.. It’s consistent, reliable and provides great sessions for solo or groups.
Hi Buzz, first of all awesome site, very resourcefull to me.
A friend of mine is traveling to Usa, New York. And i cant buy the mighty online and get it shipped.
Do you know a shop in new York to buy this mighty vaporizer?
Im not from the usa and i dont want be scammed with a clone and something like that.
Thanks in advance and like i said before, very good reviews.
Shoot! I don’t! Search Vape Stores near me when your buddy gets there. There are a ton of vape stores in NY. I would just call ahead to make sure they have vaporizers for “Dry herb”. Not the tobacco kind.
I’m looking for a new vaporizer and find … is quite interesting one. Would you kindly tell me the life span of the battery of Mighty? In case I need to replace a new battery (within the warranty time), may I send it to S&B for a new one?
Battery warranties are usually around 90 days or less. I’ve had mine for over two years now with no problems. You can definitely send it back to S&B to get them fixed.
I am trying to offer additional insight on this product review by offering my experience using this product. It is a product that I believe at its core has a design flaw that renders it from working no more than 2 years. You think its fine since you just paid for a “premium” portable vaporizer with a 2-yr warranty. That is until your Mighty no longer can be powered on with the orange button even though the digital display still works and you can still charge it. So you open an RMA with the online Storz & Bickel store and provide to them your Mighty serial #, personal info, date purchased, etc. They then tell you have to pay for the shipping yourself and mail it to them at their San Jose, CA repair store. After they have received your faulty vaporizer, they will then tell you that they will not replace it under warranty even though mine stopped working early March 2017 and I purchased it in May 2015 and tell you will need to purchase a new Mighty with a small discount applied. This is their actual response on why they won’t honor my 2 year warranty:
“”We understand your frustration and share in your disappointment. We appreciate our customers and want them to be happy with their purchase.
As per page 33 of your instructions, section 14 under Warranty, Liability, Repair Service:
“The foregoing warranty is subject to the proper storage, transportation and use of the Products, and does not include defects due to normal wear and tear or deterioration, including, but not limited to, defects in batteries, Screens and similar parts subject to wear and tear.”
The 2-year Warranty covers any manufacture defect. This is independent of Wear & Tear components. Users that accrue many hours of use on their device will naturally see Wear & Tear components break down sooner. We are happy that you have enjoyed many hours of use from our device but we also regret that components that fail due to Wear & Tear are not covered by the warranty.
We will return your device to you. ”
When I shipped it to them, the digital display and charging still worked so i thought I could repair it myself since they would not do it. When i received my Mighty back from them; the digital display no longer worked, I could no longer charge it and also found 2 drill holes into the back of the Mighty which is where S&B repairs likely attempted to fix but in the process further destroyed my “premium” vaporizer, which is now a paper-weight. I purchased accessories from S&B regularly and had never had a replacement until this failed attempt.
How much was it to have them fix the button? I’ve never heard of them being stingy with wear and tear failures. They straight up fixed my Volcano for me out of warranty but I did have to pay for the shipping to get it there. Do you still have the Mighty? Is it still not working? I could try to get you in contact with someone at S&B? Let me know if you’d like to try and get it resolved.
Honestly, your review leaves me with an indecisive ending, leaves me confused, and frustrated….
I’m old school, always used pipes and bongs for my herbs, and used a bong with a titanium nail to dab my wax…
The most experience I have with vapes is back like 10 years ago I had a vapor brothers vape, the box unit with the whip hose that you load, and I did like that.
I’m pretty sure technology has come a long way since then, and I want a vape that will do excellent with my wax/shatter/crumble, while still being able to handle dry herb for when I want to load that and smoke it…
I’m still at a loss, not sure which one vape to get, and reading reviews just leaves me with even more options and even more lost…
Have you heard of the v2pro series 7? I was reading/watching a lot on that one and it looks really solid/legit, and I like that it has different e-juice, concentrate, and dry herb chambers that pop in magnetically and the vape can tell which one is in and uses the optimal setting for each cartridge for the best smoke..
Of course I’ve never actually used it myself, and at least initially, I can only buy one vape, and I don’t wanna end up disappointed…
Please help!
The Firefly 2+ is my favorite vaporizer for dry herbs and concentrates.
Storz & Bickel: Good products, no support, no warranty honored, no way to contact.
If you buy a Mighty or Crafty, be prepared to be on your own with it if anything goes wrong. I bought a Crafty and its battery life was too poor to make it useful for me. I did like the product, though, so I paid nearly $400 again for the Mighty. At first, the Mighty was awesome. The battery life is far better. However, after 7 months of use, the top of the vaporizer body was cracking away and left the three ‘columns’ that make up the Mighty body start to move independently of each other. Now the cooling chamber won’t even stay on correctly.
Honestly, if my 2 year warranty doesn’t cover this, I would still be willing to pay to have it fixed, but reaching Storz and Bickel is impossible. Here in the US, we have to go through an Oakland office and they don’t respond to emails or voicemails. The ‘RMA’ process on the website is also a dead end. You can enter one, then you will be ignored and cannot enter another because they know that the serial number was already entered.
In summary, I would simply say that if you have one of these vaporizers, be extremely careful with it because if a problem comes up, you are screwed.
Shitty they let some people slip through the cracks. I have had great customer support with storz and bickel but they should never ignore customers! Have you had any luck contacting them? Can I help in any way?
Thanks,
Great review.
I saw the Mighty vaporizer for less than $100.
Could it be? is there a fake Mighty vapo in the market?
Please advise.
Thanks
Hey Jaronson, unfortunately there are fake Mighty’s (and almost every other popular vape on the market) which is why it’s important to buy from an authorized retailer so you can ensure an authentic unit, and a valid warranty.
I think the dosing capsules for the Migthy are not getting enough love.
Prepacking and changing on the fly is a huge advantage.
I agree, they really are pretty slick for keeping the bowl clean, packing smaller loads, and ease of swapping bowls on the go.
What’s keeping me from getting the mighty is that it’s been a couple years since it’s release. I think that it’s time for them to release something new to keep up with the competition. Do you think S&B will come out with a new portable vaporizer in 2017!?
I’m hoping so but no word yet. Crafty could use upgraded batteries, hopefully replaceable and the Mighty is still a beast. So we will see what happens and I’ll try to be the first to grab it if they release something new.
Nice review totally agree with you. I am trying to get the setup with the glass like in the video. What pieces do I need and from where ?
You just need the Arizer Long whip if your glass has an 18mm connection, you can pick it up from vapeworld If your glass uses 14mm, you will also need to pick up an 18-14mm adapter, which can be found at local head shops, or on ebay for about $4-8
I will be using the mighty to vape just before bed and I usually take 1 to 2 draws before I go to sleep. Can I pack the bowl that low? And can I leave the left over unvaped material in the bowl for several days without damaging the unit? Thanks
Greg
You can definitely leave leftover material in a bowl without hurting the unit, however if you re-use it the flavor and effects will be diminished. If you only want to take a few draws, you might like packing a very small amount and then covering it with the mesh liquid pad that comes with the unit to hold the material in place, then you can then finish it all in just a few draws.
I would say the Firefly 2 makes more sense for that pattern of usage.
As Buzz says, just put a very small amount of herb into the bowl and use the mesh pad. Gives 2 good hits with dense vapour at 190 deg C, then another 2 at 210.
Good review, thanks. I had two Crafties…both new, and died on me after 3 months of regular daily use. Mfr replaced both times, but still super frustrating. Loved loved loved it besides that, and really sad. Might try the Mighty…maybe larger battery can handle it’s power better? Idk…any experience with that type of issue with Crafty?
I absolutely LOVE my Mighty but I also don’t really have to worry about hiding it too much. It is a much bigger unit but the battery life is so much better. Usually 4-6 bowls on a full battery with multiple people crushing it. And that’s usually up on the mountain where it is much much colder and windier. Basically the same vape but bigger, better battery life and a VERY easy to use on screen display with temp buttons. I really like the Mighty. No USB charging though.
TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT
Hello all,
After six months of changing the temperature, going thorough several strains, different quantities vaped, I finally want to share my (unfortunately ) negative opinion on the Mighty vaporizer by Storz and Bickel.
One huge problem, just like the worst tabletop vaporizer, Storz and Bickel’s Volcano, THE MIGHTY CONSUMES THE PRODUCT TOO QUICKLY.
The company is the quickest to use it’s superior “German Engineering ” to sell its’ vaporizers, but, a decade after the Volcano has quietly and slowly drained the pockets/time of their customers, Storz and Bickel have yet to figure out that you cannot have the herb chamber being the actual heater chamber. Your tree is significantly consumed by the time it heats up. You’ll get a maximum of two real pulls per vape. I’ve consumed over 150 grams in one month.
If you have a really high THC tolerance, the Mighty IS NOT THE VAPORIZER FOR YOU. You will be under constant frustration. I live in France, so I got it delivered to my house for free, but still costing a whopping 350 EUROS, THAT’S EUROS. I’m truly upset. I’ve become very familiar with over 10 different portable vaporizers, and I honestly feel the best one for the true weedhead is VAPIR NO. 2, I have yet to try the latest by Vapir. The reason this is because it is a true vaporizer, the heating chamber is MASSIVE, you can control the temperature to the degree, charge while vaping, and the taste and high is almost too much., i.e., perfect!
The Mighty is better in three areas:
1. It never has that “plastic ” taste (Vapir has it when it’s new ).
2. It is very sturdy.
3. Despite common opinion, the Mighty is very portable. I carry it in my pants pockets, get into every club and bar, and even in the inside suit pocket.
4. After about 18 months, the NO. 2 will start to burn the tree. I can tell now this wont happen with the Mighty because of it’s. ..superior engineering. Honestly.
I had to find a way to cut the oil pad in half horizontally and put it under the filter right over the heating unit. This is the only way my vape will last 60 seconds, if I lightly fill it. Like the Volcano, it packs ONE mighty pull, this is now the bong of portable vaporizers.
THE MIGHTY IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
I think we have a couple differing opinions but thank you for the write up and checking out my site. I’m always interested to hear people’s experiences with different vaporizers. Have you purchased anything new? What is your favorite portable vaporizer?
Hi buzz, love the website! I was wondering if you had any problems with your mighty/crafty so far. I guess you have been using them for quite a while now. I was thinking to buy one but i am reading alot of concerning reviews about battery problems and usage of herb etc.
Hoop to hear from you!
So far I haven’t had any problems with my Mighty or the Crafty. HOWEVER, I have over 60+ portable vaporizers that I use randomly at any given time and I don’t have the hours on my Crafty that most daily users do. The Crafty is definitely not the most reliable vaporizer. It is consistent, provides great vapor quality with very little draw resistance and super easy to use, but it takes quite a bit of time to heat up, has very low average battery life compared to the market now days and not quite as reliable as other vaporizers at that price point. I would recommend the Mighty if you don’t mind the size of the unit. It’s very reliable, quicker heat up and it doesn’t require an app to change temps. Everything is located right on the device. I was a much bigger fan of the Crafty in the beginning because of it’s size but the battery problems are annoying. I was really hoping they would come out with like a Crafty PLUS(+) that would add replaceable batteries or something of the sort but nothing yet. I really like the Mighty.
My hands are ( surgeries and arthritis with nerve damage) painful and kinda weak with issues particularly in my thumbs with carpal tunnel Which is best to use for getting a good draw without it being too heavy to hold or easy to clean ? Thanks
The Crafty would be my first suggestion for a portable vaporizer. The cleaning might be a con because it does take some time to clean. It can go forever without needing to be cleaned though. So it really depends on how much you’ll be using it.
Not yet,
Have you done a review on the new Vapir ? Have you tried it ?
I have.
Hey bro not sure if you’re leaving the chamber on top of the volcano while it heats up but you’re not supposed to do that. Let it sit aside until it’s ready to go and u should get about 6 bags from your bowl… I only know this because I did the same thing for years until I realized I was using it wrong lol. Good luck and cheers!
One of the better reviews I have come across regarding the Mighty. Others are similar, but your talent for addressing form/function of the device to fit certain people’s needs made it a cut above. Much appreciated. I’m on my way with the Mighty.
Awesome Russ. Thanks for the kind words. Let me know if you have any more questions.
I have never used a vaporizer but I have a problem with coughing when I smoke do the vaporizers help with that
Yes vaporizers do help with throat irritation and coughing compared to combusting, especially if you use a vaporizer that can attach to glass and vape through water. The Mighty is one of the vapes that will connect to glass easily.
Great review !!!
Thanks!
Does the Mighty heat up any quicker than the Crafty?
Yes it does preheat quicker, it also stays heated better during/after long or fast draws.
Hey bro,
Nice review, it helped me to choose my first vapo, the crafty :) but I have a question for you : what is the best temp to vape weed with this vapo ?
I’m actually doing it at 185celsius for the 2-3st hits and 192 degrees Celsius for the 6-7 others hits so am I good ?
Thanks for your help !
Awesome! Glad that I could help you out my friend. You are actually vaping at the same temps I do. I like the lower temps for the first few draws and then pick it up towards the end.
Hi Buzz,
I have been lurking your reviews for while now and have just made the decision to buy the Mighty. I decided against the Crafty as I have a Grasshopper on pre order which I can use on the go and was looking for a vape to use at home that wasn’t restricted by a power cable. I also decided against the firefly due to the heat button as I just want to sit back, relax and pass it around with friends with having to give directions for use. This is my first vaporizer and I was just wondering if you had any tips for using the device? And if you think I have made a good decision with both of my vaporizer choices?
You are going to have the best of both worlds, the Grasshopper is very powerful and very small so its a great on the go vape, and the Mighty is the best portable if you don’t need to carry it around in your pocket. The Mighty is very forgiving, there isn’t really any technique it just works. However I do prefer to start my bowls in the 345-365f range (Depending on strain) and then work the temp up as the session goes on. I also like using the liquid pad on top of the bowl if you want to do a partial pack.
Most smart phones are about the size of the mighty. But i mean its almost 2018, so maybe phones were smaller in 2015.
Anyways i looove my mighty over grasshopper.
I would like to know why my Mighty Vape taste bad I know its not my smoke it taste great when rolled
What exactly is the bad taste like? Is this potentially your first vaporizer Bill? If so vaped herb definitely tastes different than combusted herb.
Great review! Im inluv with my mighty vaporizer right now <3
how can increase the heat to 230c?
