30-Second Verdict
The Solo 3 v2 wins — 9.2 to 9.0 — and it costs £82 less. But the TinyMight 2 keeps a crown the Solo can't take: the single best draw of flavour on this entire site. One of these is intensity in ninety seconds; the other is clarity across fourteen draws. The honest question is how you like your mornings.
TinyMight 2: 9.0/10 | £299.99 Solo 3 v2: 9.2/10 | £217.99

The Hook
There are two ways to take your caffeine seriously, and they don't understand each other at all.
The first is the double espresso. Twenty-five seconds of extraction, everything the bean has, delivered in two mouthfuls. Done properly it's the best coffee experience that exists — crema, body, that first sip that reorganises your entire morning. Done improperly it's bitter punishment, and there is no in-between, which is why espresso people own scales and burr grinders and talk about pressure profiles at parties they are not invited back to.
The second is the pot of loose-leaf tea. Proper leaves, proper pot, water just off the boil. Nothing about it is instant and nothing about it peaks — that's the point. The first cup is bright, the second is rounder, the third is settling into something deeper, and forty minutes later the pot is still giving you something worth drinking. Nobody has ever ruined a pot of tea through insufficient technique. The pot forgives.
The TinyMight 2 is the double espresso. The Solo 3 v2 is the pot of loose-leaf. Both are the serious version of the thing. They are not the same drink.
I called the TinyMight 2 a Ducati in its review, and the Solo 3 v2 got the Joy Division–to–New Order treatment in its own. Set those aside. What matters for this pairing is that these are the two best flavour devices in the portable half of my collection — the two machines I'd hand someone who claims vapour all tastes the same — and they deliver that flavour on completely different clocks. Ninety seconds versus fourteen draws. The shot versus the pot.
One of them scores higher. It's the pot. Here's why the shot still exists.
We stock both at HerbVape.co.uk — details and pricing below.
Vapour Quality
Both reviews scored this 9.5/10, and this is the rare pairing where neither number needs an apology.
The TinyMight 2 is 70 watts of pure convection with a three-second heat-up. The vapour arrives fully-formed on the first press — no ramp, no weak opening draw — and the extraction is brutal in the literal sense: a 0.15g bowl is finished in around eight draws, and the best of those draws is better than anything else on this site. Its own review called it the flavour benchmark for portables, and nothing since has moved it.
The Solo 3 v2 runs an 80/20 convection-conduction hybrid through an all-glass path, and the glass is the story: nothing added, nothing coated, terp clarity that S&B's plastic paths can't touch. Its review put it plainly — the TinyMight 2 extracts harder and faster on-demand, but nothing in the price range combines flavour purity, dual-mode versatility and consistency like the Solo. And the Solo's on-demand mode is the quiet threat here: fifteen seconds to temperature, two or three civilised draws per press. It's a TinyMight with the edges rounded off — you lose the raw hit, you gain the ability to hand it to literally anyone.
Peak draw: TinyMight 2, and it isn't close. Draws two through fourteen: Solo 3 v2. Winner overall depends on which of those you'll actually drink every day — but on the site's scoring, honesty compels the note that the Solo does 90-odd percent of the peak with 100% of the repeatability.
The Strain Test, Side by Side
Same jars, same grinder, strain as the control — both devices have run the full circuit in their reviews, so this is the two lap-charts laid side by side.
Jack Herer is the espresso-versus-tea argument in plant form. The TinyMight 2 at dial 4 produced the best Jack Herer on the site — pine needles and fresh resin, lemon peel sharp enough to make you check the jar, the cooling mint edge underneath, all landing on draw one because nothing sat cooking on a hot wall first. Total experience: eight draws, and the citrus is dead by the third draw of the mid stage. The Solo 3 v2 renders the same jar as the most legible Jack among my portables — not the loudest — pine arriving with nothing in front of it at 175°C, and here's the tell: at 185°C the citrus lift doesn't die on contact, it thins gradually across three draws while black pepper walks in around it. You can watch the handover happen in 5°C steps. The TinyMight explodes Jack's top notes onto one draw; the Solo stretches the same notes across five. Same information, different delivery rate — a ristretto versus the second steeping. And Jack is also where both machines show their teeth: the TinyMight will let you scorch a bowl mid-stage with a greedy pull, and the Solo's on-demand browns the top layer if you pack Jack's fluffy structure too tight. The fragile strain punishes carelessness on both — the difference is the TinyMight punishes it per draw, the Solo only at pack time.
Wedding Cake is closer, because it flatters everything — and both devices pass the resolution test that actually matters, delivering vanilla, butter, dough and pepper as four nameable things rather than one smeared sweet. The TinyMight's mid stage is the richest single passage either device produced — butter over baked cake, pepper emerging, a stage I ran twice because I couldn't leave it alone. The Solo's version runs cooler and cleaner: the even golden-brown ABV is the hybrid heater's party trick, the cherry-to-jam progression is textbook, and its review's honest caveat applies here too — the glass path is well-lit and faintly clinical, brightness without upholstery. Interestingly, that's a criticism nobody makes of the TinyMight, because convection at 70 watts gives the vapour weight the way crema gives espresso body. One comparative observation that follows from both reviews: the TinyMight separates flavours by force, the Solo separates them by patience — and by the top stage, both still read the two strains as two different plants, which is the whole test.
The call: both are flavour devices, unambiguously — this pairing is the flavour final. The TinyMight 2 is the best draw on the site; the Solo 3 v2 is the best average draw on the site. Espresso wins the sip. Tea wins the afternoon.
Design & Build
Both scored 9/10. Both earn it differently.
The TinyMight 2 is American walnut, stainless steel and quartz glass, hand-built in Finland with a genuinely clever integrated stir tool. It's the more beautiful object and the more breakable one — the stems are consumables (ask Jake, or rather ask the glass stem incident of 2024), and the early button-solder reputation, though fixed on current revisions, still asks you to buy from an authorised dealer and register on day one.
The Solo 3 v2 is anodised aluminium, chunky Arizer solidity — my Sea of Green unit has survived eight months of daily use and multiple tumbles with no rattles and no error codes. The v1's Error 5 era is worth knowing about (my mate Tom did the RMA, classic Tom luck with electronics; his v2 replacement has been rock solid), but the v2 hardware has been boring in the best way. Its glass stems break like all glass stems — I've cracked two in eight months, £15 for a two-pack.
Winner: draw on score; Solo 3 v2 on nerves. The walnut is nicer to hold. The aluminium is nicer to own.
Battery & Charging
Winner: Solo 3 v2 — comfortably. 9/10 versus 7.5/10.
The Solo does 12–15 bowls per charge at my usual temps, supports pass-through, and while Arizer quotes about three hours to full, a proper PD brick has it done in roughly ninety minutes, measured repeatedly. It's the rare sealed battery that almost never inconveniences you.
The TinyMight does 5–8 bowls per 18650 — adequate, not exceptional — but the cell comes out, and that's its whole counter-argument: a spare in your pocket doubles runtime, three cells in rotation means never thinking about it, and a £5 replacement resets the clock when chemistry fades. Note it wants a 20A-continuous cell, not whatever's in the drawer. Long-term ownership economics: TinyMight. Everything you'll notice this year: Solo.
Ease of Use
Winner: Solo 3 v2. 8.5/10 versus 7.5/10, and the gap in lived experience is bigger than the numbers.
Both devices have a learning curve; only one of them charges tuition. The Solo's on-demand mode needs a loose pack and 2–3mm of headroom or it browns the top layer — a real lesson, learned in a week, with session mode sitting there as the forgiving fallback the whole time. The TinyMight has no fallback and no cutoff: my first week's ruin rate was roughly one bowl in seven until the button-release timing became automatic, and while it's been zero since, that week happened on my own flower. The espresso machine doesn't come with a teapot in the box. The Solo, genuinely, does — that's the two-vapes-in-one-body argument, and it's the single biggest reason it outscores the TinyMight overall.
Could your mum use the Solo's session mode? Probably. The TinyMight? Not without supervision. That's the whole section.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The closest category on the card: 9.5 plays 9, Solo 3 v2 by a nose.
These are the two easiest-cleaning serious vapes I own, for the same reason — glass takes the residue, convection keeps the chamber clean. The Solo edges it because its oven still looks essentially new after eight months and stem care takes thirty seconds; the TinyMight's cooling unit adds a hex-nuts-and-washers disassembly to the ISO soak, which stretches the job to ten minutes. Ten minutes I actually do on schedule, mind — but thirty seconds is thirty seconds. Either way, if you're coming from a Mighty+ cooling unit teardown, both of these will feel like retirement.
Portability
Winner: TinyMight 2. 8/10 versus 7/10.
Neither is a jeans-pocket device, but the TinyMight (110mm with stem, 207g) is meaningfully smaller and lighter than the Solo (130mm, 280g), and its on-demand nature suits movement — draw, cap the stem, walk on. It needs a case for the glass, but cased, it's the one that leaves the house.
The Solo is an "around the house" portable and its own review stopped pretending otherwise — desk, garden, living room, a £4 Ryman's pencil case for the stems when it does travel. If genuine pocket carry is your priority, honestly, neither of these is your answer and both reviews said so.
Value for Money
Winner: Solo 3 v2, and this is where the match is decided. 9/10 versus 8.5/10, with an £82 price gap running the same direction.
The Solo 3 v2 at £217.99 is the best value-per-quality ratio in the £200–300 bracket — two vapes in one body, lifetime heater warranty, all-day battery, trivial cleaning. The TinyMight at £299.99 justifies its price for one buyer precisely: the flavour chaser for whom the peak is the point, who'll also bank the efficiency of 0.15g doing 0.25g's work. Its own review priced that honestly as premium-for-premium. But £82 buys a lot of glass stems and 18650s, and the Solo asks you to give up almost nothing to save it.

Read the table honestly and the verdict writes itself: the TinyMight wins one category outright (portability), draws the two that matter most to enthusiasts (vapour, build, cleaning-adjacent), and loses everywhere a normal person lives.
Who Should Buy Which
Buy the TinyMight 2 if the peak is the point. You're the espresso person: you own the scales, you enjoy the ritual, and one transcendent draw matters more to you than fourteen good ones. You want true three-second on-demand for microdosing, you like hardware you can keep alive with £5 cells, and you've read the words "learning curve with real consequences" and felt interest rather than dread. Ideally you already own a forgiving backup.
Buy the Solo 3 v2 if you want the best all-round flavour device sold at any price under £300 — which, on this site's scores, is exactly what it is. It's the right answer for medical users who need consistency across good days and bad, for anyone stepping up from an S&B wanting to hear what glass does, and for the person who wants on-demand capability without on-demand anxiety. It's also simply the right answer for most people, which is what a 9.2 against a 9.0 at £82 less means in English.
The wrong buyer for the TinyMight is anyone buying it as their only device or their first serious one. The wrong buyer for the Solo barely exists — its review struggled to find one beyond skinny-jeans stealth seekers and app enthusiasts.
How I Actually Choose
The rotation data doesn't lie, and I keep rotation data, because ADHD.
The Solo 3 v2 is my daily driver — roughly 35% of everything I vape, up from 30% when it arrived. It lives on the desk with Dave's beloved 3D Flow stem attached (his evangelism is covered in the Solo review; he still won't shut up about it). Evening pain-management sessions, daytime on-demand micro-hits between tasks, the 185-to-195 step-up, every day, without thinking.
The TinyMight 2 gets five or six bowls a week: weekend flavour sessions and low-temp microdosing — and its review's own admission has only got truer with time: weekend flavour chasing still occasionally goes to the TinyMight 2, but less often than it used to. The Solo has eaten into the TinyMight's territory the way tea quietly replaces your third espresso of the day — not because the espresso got worse, but because you noticed how your afternoons felt.
When I mentioned this to Jake — a Solo 3 owner who bangs on about on-demand to anyone stationary — he texted back: "Told you. Two years I've been saying it." He tested his properly, to be fair. He's earned the smugness.
But the shot still gets pulled. When a new prescription jar arrives, the first bowl goes through the TinyMight 2, every time, because I want to hear the loudest, truest version of it once before I settle into the pot. That ritual is worth £299.99 to me. It might not be worth it to you.
The Verdict (The Bookend)
Nobody who owns an espresso machine and a teapot thinks they own two of the same thing.
The shot is the peak: twenty-five seconds, everything at once, technique rewarded and punished in equal measure. The pot is the day: unhurried, forgiving, still giving you something at cup four. If I could only plumb in one, I'd keep the pot — and that's the verdict, because that's what a 9.2 over a 9.0 at £82 less actually means. The Solo 3 v2 is the better device for almost everyone: two vapes in one body, all-day battery, thirty-second cleaning, and 90-odd percent of the flavour with none of the fear.
But the TinyMight 2 keeps its crown, and it should be said plainly: the single best draw of vapour on this site still comes out of a walnut tube from Finland, three seconds after you press the button. If that sentence is why you're here, no score table will talk you out of it, and it shouldn't.
The pot for the days. The shot for the moments. If your budget only stretches to one — buy the pot, and visit the espresso bar at a mate's.
FAQ
TinyMight 2 vs Solo 3 — which should I buy? The Solo 3 v2 for most people: it scores higher (9.2 vs 9.0), costs £82 less (£217.99 vs £299.99), does both session and on-demand, and cleans in thirty seconds. Buy the TinyMight 2 only if peak single-draw flavour and true three-second on-demand are specifically what you're paying for.
Isn't the TinyMight 2 the better flavour device? On the best single draw — yes, it's the benchmark, and the Solo review says so. Across a whole session, the Solo's glass path holds the strain's detail longer and more legibly. Peak versus average: TinyMight takes the peak, Solo takes the average.
Which battery lasts longer? The Solo 3 v2: 12–15 bowls per charge with pass-through, and about ninety minutes to full on a PD brick. The TinyMight 2 manages 5–8 per 18650 — but the cell swaps in seconds and replacements cost £5, so it never truly runs out, it just asks you to plan.
Which is easier to clean? Both are top of the class. The Solo is thirty seconds — stems are the only gunky part and the oven stays pristine. The TinyMight is ten minutes including the cooling-unit hex nuts. Either embarrasses a cooling-unit teardown.
Can I use them with a bong or water piece? Both, with the right adapter. The TinyMight 2 works brilliantly through glass — its convection power suits water. The Solo's stem ecosystem includes water pipe adapter options, and the shared Arizer glass range (Solo 2, Air MAX stems) all carries over.
Do both have a learning curve? Yes, but they're priced differently. The Solo's on-demand needs a loose pack and headroom — a week of minor lessons with session mode as the safety net. The TinyMight's has no safety net: expect ruined bowls in week one (mine ran about one in seven) and none by week four.
Is the Solo 3 v2 worth it over the Solo 2 MAX? Different question, but common enough: yes if you want on-demand — you're buying a second vape in the same body, not faster menus. If you only ever session, the Solo 2 MAX at £128.99 gets you the same glass-path flavour for £89 less. Full breakdown in the Solo 3 v2 review.
About Dennis M.
Dennis M. has been reviewing vaporisers and vaping daily for the best part of a decade. He works in IT, has ADHD, and uses cannabis for chronic pain management. He lives in Manchester with his partner Sarah, who has noticed the Arizer shelf is getting crowded and suggested a 'one in, one out' policy that remains, to date, a suggestion.
Dennis would like it noted that he drinks both espresso and loose-leaf tea, sometimes in the same hour, and sees no contradiction. He is aware this is also his entire approach to owning vaporisers, and he'd thank you not to mention it.
A note on spelling: 'vaporizer' is the de facto international spelling, but I've stuck with the British 'vaporiser' throughout this blog.
