Mighty Plus Vaporizer Review: Still Worth the Money?

Before Venty and Veazy came along, Mighty+ was the name everyone in the community threw around when someone asked for a portable that could keep up with a desktop. It’s been on the market longer, it’s cheaper than Venty, and there’s a reason it still shows up on “best of” lists. I finally spent real time with one to see if it’s earned that reputation, or if it’s just riding on nostalgia at this point.

Storz & Bickel Mighty Plus Vaporizer Review: Pros and Cons

Let’s get the bottom line up front, shall we?

Pros
  • Hybrid convection and conduction heating for thick, flavorful clouds
  • Dual batteries give you serious runtime, up to 90–120 minutes of continuous use
  • No app needed; everything is controlled right on the device with a bright LED display
  • Pass-through charging, so you’re never fully out of commission
  • First portable vaporizer certified for medical use
Cons
  • Heat-up time lags behind Venty
  • Bulkier than Crafty+ and not the easiest thing to slip into a pocket

Everything’s Right There, on the Screen

What I appreciate most about Mighty+ is how little it asks of you. There’s no downloading anything, no pairing over Bluetooth, no fumbling with a browser just to change your temperature. You get a clear LED display right on the unit, a power button, and two arrow buttons that let you nudge the temperature up or down in single-degree increments.
Want more heat mid-session? Double-click the power button for Boost, and again for Superboost, each one bumping you up by roughly 27°F. It’s a setup that just works, and, after dealing with app connectivity issues on other devices, there’s something so chill about a vape that doesn’t need your phone at all.

Not the Fastest, but Not Slow Either

Mighty+ isn’t going to win any races against Venty. You’re looking at close to a minute before it’s ready to go, which feels so slow if you’re used to Venty’s 20-second window. That said, a minute is still a minute, not five, and once it’s up to temp it holds steady through the whole session without any drifting or babysitting required.

Big Chamber, Bigger Clouds

The bowl on Mighty+ holds about a quarter gram loaded normally, and you can push it closer to 0.3 grams if you’re working with a finer grind. That’s plenty for a proper session, and because the heating system handles both convection and conduction at once, you get full, dense vapor from the very first pull instead of waiting around for the second or third hit to really kick in.

This is one of the areas where the original Mighty Plus still holds its own against the newer devices. The vapor quality hasn’t aged a day.

Built to Outlast the Trend Cycle

Mighty+ was the first portable vaporizer to earn certification for medical use. Well, not Mighty+, but its medical version called Mighty Medic. But Mighty+ has the same medical-grade build and technology. It’s sturdy in the hand, doesn’t feel cheap, and comes backed by a warranty that extends to three years once you register it.

If you’re the type who wants a device that’s going to survive daily use for years, not something you’ll be replacing next season, you should know that this is built with that in mind.

The Battery Won’t Leave You Stranded

Battery is one of Mighty+’s strongest selling points. With two batteries working together, you’re getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 to 120 minutes of continuous vaping, which translates to roughly 8 to 12 sessions before you need to plug back in. And if you do run low mid-session, pass-through charging means you can keep using it while it charges, so you’re never stuck waiting around with a dead device.

USB-C Charging and the Adapter

Charging through the standard USB-C cable you’ll get in the box works fine, but how long it actually takes depends a lot on what charger you’re plugging into. A basic wall adapter is going to be noticeably slower than something with real output behind it.

That’s where the official Supercharger comes in. It cuts your charging time down to roughly a third of the normal wait time. The catch is that it doesn’t come in the box, so you’re looking at an extra $25 if you want one. Factor that into the price if fast charging matters to you.

The Size Trade-Off

If portability and pocketability are what you care about most, Mighty+ isn’t the leanest option in the Storz and Bickel catalog. That title goes to Crafty+. Mighty+ is noticeably bulkier, and while it’ll fit in a bag or a jacket pocket without much fuss, it’s not something you’re going to forget you’re carrying. It’s less a stealthy on-the-go device and more of a portable that’s just as comfortable being your primary vape at home.

Cleaning the Mighty Plus Vaporizer

Keeping Mighty+ running well doesn’t take much effort. Brush out the filling chamber after each use, and you’ll avoid most of the buildup before it even becomes a problem. The screens, mouthpiece, and cooling unit are all the parts that’ll eventually need a proper soak, so every few weeks I’ll toss them in isopropyl alcohol for a bit, then rinse and let everything dry completely before putting it back together.

Don’t skip that step or reassemble the device while things are still damp. That’s asking for trouble, so patience matters here. Don’t submerge the actual body of the vaporizer in any liquid, either. The electronics obviously aren’t meant for that. Stick to the detachable parts, and you’ll keep it running clean for years.

What’s in the Box

Here’s what you’ll get in the box alongside the Mighty+:
  • USB-C charging cable
  • 3 normal screens
  • 3 coarse screens
  • 3 base seal rings
  • 1 dosing capsule
  • 1 cleaning brush
  • Instruction manual
What you won’t get is the Supercharger, and I really recommend factoring that into the price and getting it if you’re a heavy hitter – because it’s a game changer.

My Verdict on Mighty Plus Vaporizer

Mighty+ earns its spot in the S&B lineup even with newer, flashier dry herb vaporizers sitting right next to it. It’s not the fastest, and it’s not the most pocket-friendly, but the battery life, the vapor quality, and the simplicity make it a genuinely solid pick, especially if you want something proven rather than something new. If you don’t need the bells and whistles Venty brings to the table, or the compact size Veazy offers, Mighty+ still holds its ground as one of the most dependable portables Storz & Bickel has ever made.
