Solo 2 vs Mighty: The Steam Rendering
The Mighty is the best portable vaporizer in the world.
Among its many qualities, the most important of these is the rendering of its steam.
With the Mighty portable vaporizer, you get the "taste of smell" of the plant in the mouth, and it's delicious!
This is due to the efficiency of the convection and conduction heating system designed by the brilliant engineers of the manufacturer Storz and Bickel.
And let's not forget the Mighty's clever steam-cooling unit!
This lengthens the path of steam to the user's mouth, making it softer and fresher while filtering the plant microparticles present.
The Plastics of the Mighty vaporizer are certified of medical quality by the company.
As for the Arizer Solo 2, if we must admit that the volume of clouds of steam is less consequential, the flavors are on the other hand there.
Indeed, the convection and radiation heating system effectively restores the flavours of your plants.
Note that the glass suction tube of the Arizer Solo 2 is also very respectful of the aromas of your aromatic and medicinal herbs.
This tube is available in several formats more or less long, which allows to play on the aromatic rendering.
In short, the flavors rendered by these two vaporizers are surely the best, with a preference for the Mighty with its larger volume of steam, therefore more intense.
Mighty vs Solo 2: Extraction Efficiency
As we said in the previous section, the Mighty is equipped with a hybrid heating system by conduction and convection.
Indeed, the walls of the plant bowl delivers a portion of heating by conduction, which allows to quickly generate steam.
In addition, a heater under the bowl allows the heater to be convectioned during inhalation for better extraction and excellent rendering.
Thus, large clouds of steam are generated by the Mighty, which implies a nice extraction capacity and therefore fairly fast sessions.
Note that no special inhalation technique is required for this vaporizer: you will get steam no matter how you suck.
The Arizer Solo 2 portable vaporizer is equipped with a convection and radiation heating system.
Thus, convection heating involves inhaling to get hot air through the plant to release steam.
For optimal extraction, it is therefore important to manage your suction well, in a gentle and sustained way.
Indeed, sucking super strong would have the unfortunate effect of bringing a lot of cold air into the heating element and cooling the temperature …
This implies less steam production.
It is therefore logical that the Mighty's extraction capacity is greater than that of the Arizer Solo 2.
Solo 2 vs. Mighty: Temperature Control and Panel
On this criterion, the two vaporizers are neck and neck.
Indeed, the Mighty offers a temperature range from 40 to 210 degrees Celsius, while the Solo 2 can vaporize between 50 and 220 degrees Celsius.
These two large panels will vaporize all possible plants and concentrates to practice herbal medicine and aromatherapy.
However, the possibility of going up to 220oC with the Arizer Solo 2 should delight lovers of concentrates of all types that are consumed at high temperatures.
On the other hand, the Mighty comes with accessories more suitable for the consumption of concentrates (liquid pads) so we can consider that it balances.
The detail that really makes the Solo 2 stand out from the Mighty is its speed of heating.
Indeed, it reaches 180 degrees Celsius in less than 30 seconds while it takes 1.20 minutes at the Mighty!
Mighty vs Arizer Solo 2: Autonomy
The Mighty is well above average in terms of autonomy.
It can vaporize at least six doses of plants while many vaporizers struggle to exceed three.
In addition, it can be used during charging with its wall charger even if its batteries are flat!
On the other hand, the Solo 2 is undeniably more autonomous.
Indeed, it can also be used during charging, but its battery can vaporize up to 12 doses of plants when it is full!
So if autonomy is the most important criterion of your choice, don't hesitate: it's the Arizer Solo 2 that you need.
It is the most autonomous vaporizer on the market!
Mighty VS Solo 2: Ergonomics
The Mighty is certainly a bit big (14cm-8cm-3cm), but frankly, nothing abused … It holds well in the hands (even small ones) and it is really not too heavy (230g).
In fact, the Mighty is a bit like a gruyere, it is equipped with grooves (like a radiator) and its batteries as well as its cooling unit are separated from the entire electronics by air space.
This prevents heat inertia in the unit and greatly contributes to the freshness of the steam produced.
The Mighty is a rugged device that will withstand shocks and accidental falls.
The Arizer Solo 2 is a little smaller (11.3-4.6-3.5) and significantly lighter (210g).
Nevertheless, the glass inhalation tube adds a nice volume…
Besides, he's fragile!
Just like its screen which we can see that it will scratch or break more easily than that of the Mighty …
Undoubtedly, the Solo 2 will be more difficult to transport than the Mighty outdoors.
In terms of programming, these two vaporizers are very easy to handle with one button to turn on/off and two others to rise or fall in temperature to the degree!
In summary
The Mighty is the best portable vaporizer on the market, by any criteria.
However, the Arizer Solo 2, which is the improved version of the Arizer Solo – which was itself the best vapo until the mighty's release in 2014 – is an excellent device!
In fact, in my opinion, it is the one that stays in second position at the time I write these lines.
Those who experience nothing but aberration and distaste for plastic components will therefore prefer the purity of the Solo 2 glass inhalation tube.
In addition, those for whom autonomy is a priority can also look at the Arizer.
However, don't forget that the glass rod is fragile, and that the Mighty will be much more robust whether on the move or in the long run!
The budget is also to be taken into account, as one is almost half the price of the other…
I hope this comparison will enlighten you in your choice to find shoe at your feet!
