Ok, amigo. Just let me fill a bowl and hit it a few times first to get in the mood.

My thoughts on the Mighty -

Now that the price has come down, it represents fair value for money imo.

It's more of a cordless home unit than a Pax-like portable. That said, the battery will last most heavy users all day before needing a charge, and can be used while it's plugged in to charge. The battery life will vary with each user - long sessions, short sessions, high or lower temps, full bowls or half loads, you get the idea. It should get through 6-8 full bowls on average before going flat.

It heats up to max temp within a couple of minutes, rising through each degree Celsius (it can be changed to Fahrenheit) in under a second. Once it hits the temp you've chosen, it vibrates. I like to start at the lower temps and step my way up after four or five lungfuls, and when the vapor starts to thin at that temperature. Up ten degrees and cloud production resumes.

The flavor of the first few hits is intense, although it does diminish as the session progresses.

Initially, I found the vapor to be a little hot and irritable, causing some undignified coughing fits. There is no draw resistance whatsoever, so I was taking huge rips on it. Strangely, I didn't start coughing until the exhale, so it was hard to judge the amount I could inhale comfortably. Once I adjusted my draw technique to shorter, gentle lungfuls, I really started enjoying it. I take regular sips of water throughout a session, too. If you like taking huge bong-like rips, you might want to run it through a water tool.

The cooling unit works well. The mouthpiece doesn't get hot like it would on a Pax, but you can feel the heat on the unit where the bowl is. The abv comes out browned evenly without any stirring mid-session.

I really like it so far. I had a MFLB a couple years ago, but I really wasn't a fan. Took me a while to find something that could replace the ritual of smoking joints. This certainly comes close.


The Mighty:



A fully-loaded bowl:

then a screen placed on top of the erbs to keep the cooling unit at the top clean


And finally, a before-and-after shot of the erb and ABV:

Very nice, thanks for the input. Looks like you have a couple people sold on the mighty. To bad you won't get a commission.

I have the volcano... Best non portable imo by far...

I also own the craft which I bought to discreetly smoke in Disney.... It is my second fav way to smoke just behind the volcano... While the crafty is great small portable discreet vape the heat up time is a little long. And you only get about three sessions of it.

I took the crafty snowboarding and it took to long to heat up and the battery wouldn't last me the day. I bought the mighty and I use it way more then the crafty. It heats up in about a min and I can use it the whole day on a single charge.

If you want a great vape stick with storz and bickle. If you want an oil pen go with the grasshopper.

I promise if you buy a mighty/volcano you won't smoke any other way

Actually the Grasshopper isn't for oils it is for loose leaf herb aka ground bud.

Thanks for your input man!

For me the Volcano was to cumbersome and to many parts and it is ideal for a group session or a party but me and my wife own an old dutch style 1 bedroom house next to downtown Denver and rarely have people over as it just big enough for us and our two little dogs.

My Arizer Solo works amazing and is extremely solid except for the glass stem which I broke the straight one which is ok because I prefer the bent one. You only have the stem to clean which is uber easy and you can take a q-tip for the oven but it rarely needs cleaning and I get huge vapor clouds and the battery last a long time.

My fault about the grasshopper. The guy e mailed me to buy one and I thought I turned it down bc it was for oils. I remember now it's cause I spent $700 on the mighty and crafty and I don't think they can be beat. Great company though... Product is sick, just can't justify 100$ for something I'll never use.

Oh the grasshopper has a 30w battery putting it on par with desktops and holds the same amount of herb and has a 5 second heat up time and is way more stealth and portable and has several heat settings. check out the link I posted on my first post. Yeah thats a lot of money for storz and bickel but they do make good products but only 2 year warranty where as the grasshopper has a lifetime warranty
