If you don't have to present the Mighty vaporizer anymore, you may not know the Boundless Tera.
The first is Alain Delon, the second is rather… Alain from Far Away!
That said, the latter offers some new features that may please some, not to mention that the budget is not the same …

Mighty vs Tera: The steam rendering
Rumors say that the Mighty is the best portable vaporizer, and that's in my opinion quite true.
Indeed, it is a precise vaporizer, robust, and above all the unrivalled steam rendering!
Because with the Mighty vaporizer, we get in the mouth the "taste of smell" of the plant, a treat.
This is due to the brilliant design of the heating system (we'll come back to that later) as well as the indispensable steam cooling unit.
This lengthens the path travelled by steam to the user's mouth in order to cool it and filter it from its micro-particles.
It is important to note that the plastics that make up the Mighty are certified "medical grade" by the manufacturer Storz and Bickel.
Now let's see the steam from the Tera portable vaporizer.
Already, the Boundless Tera portable vaporizer may seem to have a steam cooling unit similar to the Mighty's, but it's not.
It turns out that this element of the Tera only serves to close the vaporization chamber, and that the steam passes directly from the latter to the mouthpiece to arrive in the mouth …
Thus, the steam is already much warmer, and can irritate the airways and cause small coughs!
What's more, the materials used to design the bowl (and the rest lol) are significantly less qualitative than those chosen for the Mighty.
Indeed, the ceramic heater element of the Tera produces a much more aggressive and "spicy" steam than that of the Mighty which is sweet and aromatic.
Mighty vs Boundless Tera: Extraction Efficiency
The Mighty vaporizer works with a hybrid conduction and convection heating system.
Thus, the walls of the bowl heat the plants by conduction in order to quickly generate steam, while the user's inhalation triggers the heating by convection.
We must admit that this system is devilishly well designed (would it be behind this success?), and that the Mighty generates tasty and voluminous clouds with ease!
In addition, the plant is extracted evenly and emerges yellowish to slightly brown without blackheads or other subcombustion index.
In addition, it's easy to get steam with the Mighty vaporizer, no matter how we inhale!
Let's now take care of the Tera, whose extraction is still less efficient and homogeneous.
Indeed, its convection heating system is not really in focus, and the airflow that extracts the plant does not pass through it uniformly.
So, after a few puffs, the plant in the center of the bowl is brown/black while the edges are still green…
It will therefore be necessary to to toss in the bowl regularly, and that's very boring to do, especially when you have steam on the board (or pre-combustion, beurk).
Tera vs. Mighty: Temperature control and panel
Both the Mighty vaporizer and the Tera have a screen and two buttons to set the temperature to the nearest degree.
This provides a nice flexibility of use in order to find the ideal temperature to vaporize our favorite plants, especially in the context of herbal medicine.
Nevertheless, the Tera vaporizer can rise to 220 degrees Celsius, while the Mighty can reach 210 degrees Celsius.
In addition, the Boundless Tera has a boost mode dedicated to concentrates in order to heat them to 260 degrees Celsius!
Thus, lovers of concentrates of all types will be able to seriously consider this vaporizer, although its vapor is clearly less qualitative.
In addition, the Tera vaporizer heats up much faster than the Mighty vaporizer, with 20 seconds for one versus 1.20 minutes for the second!
Mighty vs Boundless Tera: Autonomy
The Mighty vaporizer offers a very good battery life allowing to consume 6 to 7 doses of plants, which is in the right average of portable vaporizers.
Plus, the Mighty can be used while charging, even when the battery is completely empty!
Thus, no problems on the horizon with a minimum of organization, because the two accus of the vapo Mighty are immovable.
On the other hand, the Tera vaporizer is well equipped with two removable batteries, allowing to vaporize also about 6 bowls of plants.
So by equipping yourself with additional batteries, you increase the Tera's battery life!
It is also usable during charging for more flexibility.
Mighty VS Tera: Ergonomics
The Mighty is certainly a bit big, but it's not for nothing.
In fact, air spaces separate its batteries and its cooling unit from the steam from the rest of the device to avoid heat inertia.
The steam and is that fresher and our lips are protected from the heat.
In addition, grooves have been molded into the shell of the vaporizer so that it never heats the user's hand!
So the Mighty is a bit big, but it's not heavy and its grip is nice.
The Tera vaporizer is a bit smaller (but thicker) because it is more compact, it is also heavier.
In the absence of a steam cooling unit and heat dissipation grooves, the beast is also warmer in hand and on the lips…
In addition, its buttons are more difficult to access with the thumb than for the Mighty!
The Mighty vaporizer is therefore a bit bigger but lighter and more convenient, while heating less.
In summary
The Mighty is the white wolf of portable vaporizers, its reputation often precedes it wherever it goes.
This fame is not usurped, but beautiful and well deserved!
Indeed, its only possible defect would be its size ("possible" on the assumption that the smallest vaporizers are the least efficient) but it explodes the competition on all other criteria!
Thus, our poor Tera will not make the weight against his mentor, although offering some interesting characteristics.
Its two removable batteries are a big plus, while its boost mode for concentrates can appeal to a fairly large audience!
