Storz & Bickel Mighty Review

It’s about time I did my review of the Storz & Bickel Might vaporizer. I purchased mine from Amazon for £191 following my use of the Dynavap and the Pax V3 – my theory was it couldn’t be that much different from the Mighty Plus and I wasn’t ready to pay over £300.

It’s a chunky piece of work, feels very solid in my hand. Although it’s meant to be portable, it’s not exactly small or discreet – if the Pax V3 is like a recorder, the Mighty is a set of decent sized panpipes! The image below is my Mighty next to my LG TV Remote, so hopefully that gives a good idea of how big it is.

Straight out of the box, the Mighty is easy to use. There is the option to use dosing caps provided, as well as a handy little grinder/storage thing, but I didn’t use them. The heating time to 201 didn’t feel particularly long (possibly because I vape at home so there were other things I could do with my time) and the first inhale was cool and tasted very green. As it heated for longer, the temperature on my lips never reached an uncomfortable state, didn’t make me cough or cause discomfort, so all good. Loading the Mighty can get a little messy and sometimes I could see bits of herb getting caught in the little threads alongside the bowl at the top – no doubt, I’ll see those again when I do a full clean-through!

I have read a few people saying that going from smoking joints to vaping means that they have felt a lessening of the effect of their herb. I didn’t find that – I was still floating if that was the smoking effect, but it was a gentler high and didn’t seem to last as long. Saying that, one bowl from the Mighty was enough to make me feel no pain from my knees or back, and send me off to sleep.

I have not dismantled my Mighty all the way down. I have taken apart the cooling unit and cleaned it and the bowl with ISO, changed the filter from the mouthpiece and put it back together again. I was a little bit concerned taking it apart even this small amount because I was worried about breaking/snapping pieces off. However, the Mighty was more than sturdy enough and once I accepted that I wasn’t going to cause any damage, I found it easy to put together again with no mishaps.

Charging-wise, the Mighty has a good length cable and I bought a 3D printed stand from Amazon here as it doesn’t stand up alone due to the rounded bottom, and it sits neatly on a shelf whilst charging overnight. The battery seems to last me for approximately two sessions so I can use it easily for micro-dosing throughout the day. I’m not sure how well it would last if you were taking it out and about.

I know that Storz & Bickel have brought out a newer version of the Mighty (the Mighty Plus) which cost just over £300 at the time I was purchasing. They have also brought out a completely new vape called the Venty which is over £400 – I don’t think I’m ready for that commitment just yet! However, Storz & Bickel have an excellent reputation in the vaping field, and based on my experiences with the Mighty it is well deserved. Since purchasing it, I have pretty much stopped using my Pax V3 as the Mighty services all of my needs without hassle. I might consider getting the Mighty Plus if I see it in a sale or have a voucher as I understand it charges using a USB-C cable which would probably come in handy for lessening all of the charging cables I have plugged in.

At some point, I will have to disassemble the whole unit to give it a good clean – I must admit, I’m not looking forward to that because I’m a little scared of inadvertently breaking/messing up the unit but that’s an issue for future me – in the meantime, I’m quite happy with my Mighty and don’t hesitate to recommend it.
