The Mighty Vaporizer is the most portable and one of the latest units released by Storz and Bickel, the company that brought you the Volcano and the Plenty vaporizers.
The Mighty aims to bring you the same power and efficiency of desktop and corded vaporizers in a small, pocket-friendly unit without sacrificing vapour quality, and it does it damn well. Using the same high efficiency aluminium heat exchanger as other Storz and Bickel products, vaporization is achieved through convection and some conduction. Convection ensures the herbs are being heated evenly and consistently, while a touch of conduction allows for perfect results from the first draw.
Storz and Bickel make things easy by including a quick-start guide, a grinder and a packing tool. With the power button facing towards you, turn the cooling unit anti-clockwise to reveal the herb chamber. Grind your dry herbs up using the provided hand-held grinder or one of your own then twist the packing tool onto the herb chamber to fill the chamber to the perfect level and then twist the cooling unit back onto the top of the unit. Switch on the vaporizer, set your desired temperature and when both readings match, you're ready to vape! A small vibration notifies you each time the chamber reaches vaporization levels or the auto-shutoff is executed.
The Mighty heats up to 180ºC in roughly ninety seconds and holds about 0.2 - 0.4g of dry herb material. The Mighty can be set at a variety of temperatures simply by using the up and down buttons at either side of the LED screen.
The Storz and Bickel Mighty allows you to use the vaporizer when it's plugged into the wall, unlike the Crafty however, you can start to vaporize using the Mighty even when the battery is at 0% as opposed to the Crafty's 25% charge requirement. It also has a much longer power cord than the Crafty, which has a 2.5ft power cord. The Mighty's cord is 6ft long allowing for greater flexibility when using your Mighty this way.
At 14cm tall, 8cm wide and 3cm thick, the Mighty is rather large for a portable, but still discreet enough to fit comfortable in a coat or purse pocket. The outside shell is made of a high-quality, rigid plastic. The texture of this allows for the Mighty to slip easily into pockets, coats and handbags while the vented design helps to keep the unit cool and gripped tightly in your hand.
The internal lithium ion battery in the Mighty will stay charged for around 90 minutes of constant use. The life of this battery is greatly extended thanks to the intelligent auto-shutoff feature that the Mighty incorporates. The Mighty has a timer so that after 1 minute of no activity whether it be drawing, or tapping the button - it will shut off. This can be avoided by drawing once a minute, or just remembering to tap the power button now and again.
