Mighty+ Vaporizer

Mighty+ Vaporizer Review

Summary: As an independent reviewer for herbvape.co.uk, I've tested countless vaporizers over the years, always striving to provide unbiased, comprehensive insights to our readers. The Mighty+ has been on my radar since its release, and after extensive personal use, I'm excited to share my honest, hands-on experience with this device.
Unlike some reviews you might find online, particularly from certain well-known vaporizer retailers (you probably know who I'm talking about), this assessment isn't influenced by any product affiliations or sales goals. You won't find any convenient comparisons to house brands here. My sole aim is to give you, the reader, a clear, truthful picture of what it's like to use the Mighty+ day in and day out. I'll cover everything from vapor quality to long-term maintenance, highlighting both strengths and potential drawbacks, so you can make an informed decision based on real-world performance, not marketing hype.
The Mighty+, successor to the highly regarded Mighty, promises improvements in several key areas. But does it live up to the hype? Are the upgrades significant enough to justify its premium price tag? And most importantly, how does it perform in real-world use, beyond just the specs on paper or carefully curated product descriptions?
In this comprehensive review, I'll dive deep into every aspect of the Mighty+, drawing from my personal experience and broader user feedback. Whether you're a vaping novice or a seasoned enthusiast, my goal is to provide you with the most reliable, detailed, and user-focused review available online. Let's explore together what makes the Mighty+ tick, and whether it truly deserves its place at the top of the portable vaporizer market.

Design & Build:

The body is constructed from high-quality anodized aluminum, which not only looks premium but also does an excellent job of heat management. Even during extended sessions, I've found that the device remains cool to the touch, a feature I particularly appreciate during summer outdoor sessions.

Performance & Vapor:

This is where the Mighty+ truly shines. The hybrid heating system (convection + conduction) delivers consistently excellent vapor quality. I've tested it with various herbs and at different grind levels, and it performs admirably in all scenarios. The improved heat-up time is noticeable and appreciated. It now reaches vaping temperature in about 60 seconds, down from 90 seconds in the original Mighty. This might not sound like much, but when you're eager to start a session, those 30 seconds make a difference. I love the precision temperature control (40°C to 210°C). The new 'Superbooster' feature, which bumps the temperature by 15°C with a triple-click, is handy for ending a session or when I switch to concentrates. Speaking of concentrates, the Mighty+ handles them better than its predecessor, though it's still primarily a dry herb vaporizer in my opinion. The vapor quality is top-notch. Dense, flavorful clouds are the norm, even at lower temperatures. The draw resistance is minimal, making for an effortless vaping experience. I've had sessions lasting 5-10 minutes, depending on the temperature and material used, and the performance remains consistent throughout.

Battery Life & Charging:

The battery life on the Mighty+ is impressive. I typically get 6-8 sessions per charge, which usually lasts me a few days of regular use. Heavy users might need to charge daily, but for most, it should suffice for a weekend away. The switch to USB-C charging is a game-changer. I can now use the same charger as my phone, which is incredibly convenient when traveling. The charging speed is noticeably faster too. I've found it charges to 80% in about 40 minutes with a 45W charger, which is great when I'm in a hurry. Pass-through charging is still available, which I find useful for those times when I've forgotten to charge but want to use the device. However, I do wish the battery was user-replaceable. As someone who plans to use this device for years, I'm concerned about battery degradation over time.

Temperature Control:

The controls are intuitive and easy to use. The OLED display clearly shows the current and set temperatures, battery life, and session timer. I appreciate that Arizer has included pre-set temperature options (180°C, 190°C, 200°C, and 210°C) for quick selection, while still allowing full manual control.

Ease of Use:

If there's one thing Storz & Bickel nails consistently, it's user-friendliness, and the Mighty+ is no exception. As someone who often introduces friends to vaping, I appreciate how intuitive this device is. Loading the chamber is straightforward, especially with the filling aid accessory (sold separately, but worth it in my opinion). The ceramic coating on the new chamber seems to help prevent sticking, making it easier to brush out used material. The controls are simple: power on/off, and plus/minus buttons for temperature. No complicated button combinations to remember. The haptic feedback is a nice touch, vibrating when it reaches the set temperature. Maintenance is relatively easy too. I find a quick brush-out after each session keeps it clean, with a deeper clean of the cooling unit every 15-20 sessions. The included cleaning brush is adequate, but I'd recommend getting some isopropyl alcohol for occasional deep cleans.

Portability:

Let's be honest, portability is not the Mighty+'s strong suit. It's bulky compared to many portable vapes, and it's not something I can slip discreetly into my pocket. That said, it's not immobile by any means. I often take it to friends' houses or on camping trips. It fits well in a small bag or large jacket pocket. The durability means I don't worry too much about it getting knocked around a bit. The improved stand stability is a big plus for portability. Being able to set it down on various surfaces without it tipping over is more useful than I expected, especially when I'm outdoors. The switch to USB-C charging has also improved its travel-friendliness. I no longer need to carry a separate proprietary charger, which frees up space in my travel kit.

Value for Money:

At £289, the Mighty+ is undoubtedly a premium-priced device. When I first purchased it, I had to think hard about whether it was worth the investment. After several months of use, I can say it largely justifies its price tag, but it might not be for everyone. The build quality is exceptional, and I expect this device to last for years. Storz & Bickel's 2-year warranty (extendable to 3 years with registration) provides peace of mind. The vapor quality and consistency are top-notch, rivaling or surpassing vaporizers in the same price range. However, if portability and discretion are your top priorities, you might find better value in smaller, less expensive devices. For home use or for those who prioritize vapor quality above all else, the Mighty+ is worth every penny.

Cleaning + Upkeep:

Cleaning the Mighty+ is straightforward, though it does require some regular attention to keep it in top shape. The ceramic-coated chamber is a significant improvement over the original Mighty. I've found that herb is less likely to stick, making it easier to brush out after use. The cooling unit is where most of the cleaning work happens. I typically do a deep clean every 15-20 sessions, which involves disassembling the cooling unit and soaking the parts in isopropyl alcohol. It's not difficult, but it does take a bit of time. One tip I've found useful: use the dosing capsules. They keep the main chamber much cleaner, reducing the frequency of deep cleans. Plus, they're great for pre-loading sessions when you're on the go. The included cleaning brush is handy for quick cleanups, but for really gunked up pieces, I've found that soaking in isopropyl alcohol works best. Just be sure to let everything dry completely before reassembling. Overall, while it does require regular maintenance, I find the cleaning process easier than many other vaporizers I've used. The build quality of the components means they hold up well to repeated cleaning, which is reassuring for long-term use.

Conclusion

After extensive use, I can confidently say the Mighty+ is one of the best portable vaporizers on the market. It excels in vapor quality, ease of use, and battery life, making it a top choice for both newcomers and experienced users who prioritize performance over portability.
The improvements over the original Mighty, particularly the faster heat-up time and USB-C charging, address key user feedback and enhance the overall experience. While it's not the most portable or discreet option, it's perfect for home use or outdoor adventures where size isn't an issue.
The Mighty+ is ideal for:
Users who prioritize vapor quality and consistency
Those who value ease of use and low maintenance
Medical users who need precise temperature control
Anyone looking for a durable, long-lasting vaporizer
It might not be the best fit for:
Users needing ultimate portability or discretion
Those on a tight budget
People who prefer user-replaceable batteries
Final Rating: 8.9/10
The Mighty+ isn't perfect, but it's damn close. Its few shortcomings are overshadowed by its outstanding performance in key areas. If you're serious about vaporizing and don't mind the size and price tag, the Mighty+ is an investment you're unlikely to regret.
