The Boundless CFX portable vaporizer looks like a cheap clone of the Mighty vaporizer.

Indeed, these two devices have several commonalities such as their format as well as their screen with programming temperatures to the degree.

But with a budget ranging from the simple for the CFX to triple for the Mighty, the user is entitled to wonder if this price difference is justified!

CFX vs. Mighty: Steam rendering

Let's start by describing the steam produced by the excellent Mighty.

This portable vaporizer is reputed to be the most efficient of all, and this is in my opinion quite justified.

Indeed among its many quality, we must mention its rendering of steam out of the ordinary!

With the Mighty vaporizer, we have in the mouth the "taste of smell" of the plant, a real delight.

We owe this to the efficiency of the heating system (which we will talk about below) as well as the clever steam cooling unit.

The latter lengthens the path of steam to the user's mouth to cool it and filter it from its micro-particles.

Note that the plastic components of the Mighty portable vaporizer are certified "medical grade" by the manufacturer Storz and Bickel.

Now let's look at the steam of the CFX.

For starters, the Boundless CFX vaporizer appears to be equipped with a steam-cooling unit similar to the Mighty, but this is not the case.

Indeed, the top of the vaporizer is only used to close the bowl, and the steam passes directly from the bowl to the mouthpiece to reach the mouth.

The steam rendering is already much warmer, which can irritate the airways and make you cough!

In addition, the components of the heating system and bowl are significantly less qualitative than those used for the Mighty.

Thus, the ceramic bowl reproduces less well the flavors of the plants…

On the other hand, we must admit that the steam production of the CFX is excellent without equalling that of the Mighty!

In short with the CFX you have quantity without quality, while with the Mighty you have both.

Mighty vs. CFX: Extraction Efficiency

The Mighty vaporizer heater system is a mixture of convection and conduction.

Thus, convection heating is triggered by the user's inhalation, while the walls of the bowl heat the plant by conduction in order to always produce steam.

It must be said that Storz and Bickel has succeeded perfectly, and that the Mighty generates big and tasty clouds without difficulties!

The plant is worked evenly, it emerges yellowish to light brown depending on the heat temperature and without any black spots or other signs of pre-combustion.

Be aware that no matter how you inhale, you'll get steam with the Mighty vaporizer!

For the case of Boundless CFX, the extraction is much more brutal.

Indeed, the heating system operating mainly by convection passes a powerful flow of hot air through the plants to extract steam.

In addition, the ceramic bowl accumulates heat inertias that provide a share of heating by conduction.

As with the Mighty, no inhalation technique is required to get steam!

On the other hand, the sessions are shorter, and the plant still comes out quite brown which shows that it has been heated to high temperatures …

This is already less reassuring for medical use!

It's worth noting that the Boundless CFX portable vaporizer is an excellent producer of steam in terms of volume, without achieving the Mighty's rendering quality.

CFX vs. Mighty: Temperature Control and Panel

Here, no real technical differences between the two devices.

Indeed, both the Mighty and the CFX are equipped with a large screen with two buttons to program temperatures to the degree.

This offers flexibility to use to find the ideal vaporization temperature, as well as the practice of herbal medicine with all possible plants!

However, the CFX's temperature range is 10oC higher than the Mighty, capping at 220 degrees Celsius versus 210 degrees Celsius.

Thus, fans of CBD concentrates requiring high heating temperatures will find it here a small advantage.

In addition, the CFX reached 180 degrees Celsius in 30 seconds which is very fast compared to 1.20 minutes for the Mighty.

Mighty vs Boundless CFX: Autonomy

Again, our two fighters are neck-and-neck.

Indeed, the CFX once again takes back the Mighty its attributes!

Thus, both vaporizers are equipped with two internal batteries for a satisfactory range of about 6 to 7 doses of plants per load.

Both the Mighty and the CFX can be used during the sector charge, even when their batteries are flat!

Mighty VS CFX: Ergonomics

With this comparison, the Mighty could howl at plagiarism in the figure of the CFX to take it off!

Indeed, after the large screen with a range of temperatures to the degree, the two internal batteries, it is the turn of the format and the weight of the Mighty to be taken up by the CFX …

As you will have understood, the latter registers as a copy of the first!

The CFX even takes over the Mighty's groove system used to dissipate the heat of the outer hull, but from a strictly visual point of view and without being able to have the effectiveness…

Otherwise, both devices have about the same weight and size.

Note that the shell of the CFX vaporizer is covered with a coating quite pleasant to the touch that unfortunately deteriorates with time.

In summary

The Mighty is undoubtedly the best vaporizer on the market, and everything seems to show that it will remain so for a few more years while waiting for the arrival of the Messiah vaporizer (unless it was him??).

Indeed, it remains a source of inspiration for the competition that tries to imitate it without ever being able to match it.

The CFX perfectly illustrates this, and can be considered a pale and sickly lookalike of its powerful elder.

However, it will be a great choice for those with a limited budget, as the CFX is arguably one of the best value/quality prices on the market!
