Pete's Pick - Tinymight vs Mighty+ Which of these powerful portable vaporizers is best for you?

The Tinymight feels great in your hand, the body itself is constructed from solid oak, and it has metal caps on the top and bottom ends. It has a nice reassuring weight that feels substantial, and it’s just over 3.5” tall, so it’s reasonably portable.

On the bottom there's a charging port, as well as a dial that allows you to adjust the temperature on a scale from 1 (250°F) to 10 (460°F). The dial can be a little hard to adjust without using your fingernail or a tool, but at least it means you won’t accidentally change temperature very often.

On the side of the bottom metal cap is the single button which controls the unit, and it doesn’t have the best button feel compared to other devices. I find that it works far better if you pull the button into the palm of your hand, rather than trying to press it with your thumb. On the top of the unit is the heater where the glass stem is inserted, and a screw on-top where you can remove the battery if you want to replace it or charge it outside the device.

The Mighty+ is a large handheld, you won’t find many portables that are bigger than this one. It stands about 5.5” tall and weighs just under 250g, so it’s a beastly unit. I find that the shape fits very well in a jacket pocket, but it’s definitely too big for pockets in your pants. It’s made entirely from plastic, which people are sometimes turned off by, especially at this price. However, it has 10 out of 10 build quality and the plastic feels super high-end, so I really don’t see it as a downside.

There is no external stem or mouthpiece needed for the Mighty+, meaning that you don’t need to worry about breaking anything when transporting it in a bag. There’s a power button on the side, and arrow buttons on the front for temperature control. It has a basic screen that displays your temperature in either C or F, and the battery life. This vaporizer is really built with pure function in mind, it doesn’t have a lot of bells, whistles, or extra features. It won’t stand upright by itself, it does come with a little kickstand which works well on a flat surface, but I much prefer the far more stable Mighty+ stand that we stock, it’s a must have accessory.

The Tinymight can be used in two different modes - session mode or on-demand mode. The only way I use it is in on-demand mode, because I find one hit at a time is sufficient with this vaporizer. In on-demand mode it heats up in about five seconds, giving you true on-demand performance. It vibrates when it’s at temperature, and is ready to produce vapour straight away. It has a massive heater coil, which you can see inside if you take the stem out, it provides a huge amount of full convection heating that instantly flows through your flower to produce great results. You don’t find a lot of devices that are ready to go this quickly while also producing such large volumes of vapour.

The Mighty+ gives you a mix of primarily convection heating, with some conduction added in through the bowl. The purpose of this is to give you a stronger initial punch from the vapour, and a faster overall heat-up time. All the new Storz & Bickel devices operate with this same mix of convection and conduction. The heat-up time has been improved since the first version of the Mighty to only 60 seconds on the Mighty+, and like the Tinymight, it will produce vapour as soon as it’s at temperature. I find the heat-up time very consistent, and since this is a session-style vape I find 60 seconds to be acceptable, especially considering the amazing clouds produced when it’s ready to go.

The Tinymight is quite a straightforward device to use, it has single-button operation for all its functions, and vibration is used to communicate things like battery level. The rotary temperature dial makes it easy to adjust, though it does lack the precision you get with the Mighty+. Loading the included glass stem is quite easy, as is maintaining it, as long as you go with a soak in alcohol method of cleaning, rather than a full disassembly like the manufacturer recommends, as I find that to be a pain. I do find the button a little imprecise and squishy, especially while the device is upside down. You can hit this one as hard and fast as you want, so there’s not a lot of technique required to get good results.

I consider the Mighty+ extremely easy to use, it’s borderline fool-proof. It has an obvious orange power button on the side, and once you turn it on it will automatically start heating up to the last temperature it was set at. To change the temperature, just press the bright orange up and down buttons, and you can easily see the precise temperature on the screen as you adjust it. It’s very easy to load and unload, and as there is no external stem it’s very easy to preload and take with you, meaning you are one button press and 60 seconds away from a session. The addition of dosing capsules makes it even more convenient and I highly recommend using them.

It pumps out visible extraction with ease starting at around 355°F, and you can hit it with short little puffs, or long and hard puffs, working fantastically however you choose to hit it. It’s not too often that you find vaporizers that are this easy to use while also producing such amazing vapour. It’s a perfect device for a first timer with a higher budget, there’s just no going wrong with how you use it.

The Tinymight is well-known for its vapour, it produces more vapour than virtually any other battery-powered device on the market. The size of the hits that you can get from this vaporizer are astoundingly large, the Tinymight is one of those few portables that can go head-to-head with pretty much any desktop vape in terms of the production capability. Keep in mind that these are also pure convection hits, meaning that you’ll get excellent flavour at lower temperatures - anything at temperature four or below is good for flavour emphasis.

The pure convection also means that the effects are exceptionally strong, especially when you couple them with those super thick and heavy clouds. For anyone looking for a battery powered on-demand unit that is a true heavy hitter, the Tinymight is pretty much at the top of that list, and one of the top reasons I would recommend buying this device.

For a session style vaporizer that doesn’t need a longer stem or anything external, the Mighty+ creates surprisingly smooth and cool vapour when you use it at lower temperatures. The winding passage of the interior of the cooling unit does a great job of cooling down the first few hits, but if you want to use it at higher temperatures or for extended sessions a water pipe isn’t a terrible idea.

The flavour is very smooth and pure, especially considering the plastic used for the construction, it doesn’t affect the flavour to the vapour at all. The new ceramic lining in the bowl also helps keep it clean and enhance the overall flavour. Thanks to the mixture of primarily convection heating with a pinch of conduction, you get very strong effects. I find that three or four hits are usually enough for my needs and then I pull it out again as necessary. The consistent, easy to achieve high-quality vapour is what the Mighty+ is known for and the main reason to consider it.

My favourite thing about the Tinymight is the vapour. Not many vaporizers produce massive full convection clouds like the Tinymight can, and it’s even rarer to find those clouds coming from an on-demand portable at a pocketable size.

It doesn’t take long for the Tinymight to heat up, and it will white wall a water pipe mere seconds after you start inhaling. Of course, you don’t have to rip it this hard and it performs well at lower temperatures as well, but it’s the capability of just completely knocking it out of the park which makes it one I pull out with regularity (giggity).

My favourite thing about the Mighty+ is the simplicity and consistent results. It is an extremely easy vaporizer to use, from turning it on, to adjusting it, loading, and unloading it, even maintaining it. It’s an unintimidating device that’s a perfect choice for a first timer or somebody who doesn’t want to mess around, and just wants good and easy results.

When you add the consistent vapour output that it produces, without any technique or learning curve required, it really ups the ante. You get nice thick and satisfying clouds even at lower temperatures, and a nice ABV pattern at any temperature that is never overdone.
