Mighty VS CFX

Herbal vaporizers are an excellent way to reduce smoking and tobacco consumption. In recent years, the range of vaporizers on offer has expanded to include herbal vaporizers of all sizes, with features that can vary widely. Not always easy, then, to choose the right vaporizer for your needs. In this article, we’ll take a look at 2 of the best herbal vaporizers on the market: the Mighty from Storz & Bickel and the Boundless from CFX. We’ll take a look at their respective features, performance and functionality.

Rather than big tables full of figures, we’ve decided to compare the Mighty and CFX on the 3 points we consider most important for a quality weed vaporizer, and explain in detail why. The idea is for you to better understand how these vaporizers work and the innovations they bring.

CFX vs Mighty: Steam rendering

This is obviously the first criterion that interests us when choosing a vaporizer: let’s break it down in detail:

Mighty : If you’re not new to vaping, chances are you’re familiar with the Mighty, the iconic model from German brand Storz and Bickel. The reputation of this herbal vaporizer is well established, thanks not only to its design quality, but above all to its exceptional vapor output. In our opinion, its place among the leaders in herbal vaporizers is far from usurped: the number of settings and the quality of the vaporization really make for a very pleasant experience! We can also thank the efficiency of the heating system and its vapor cooling system. It’s mainly these 2 elements that give the Mighty such a high quality vapor rendition. The Mighty’s cooling system ensures that the steam inhaled travels a long way to be cooled and filtered of its vegetable micro-particles, and believe us, it makes all the difference. What’s more, Mighty’s plastic components are certified “medical grade”. Storz & Bickelz have pulled out all the stops to make the Mighty one of the best herbal vaporizers on the market, and they’ve succeeded!

CFX : While the Mighty’s steam cooling system makes a clear difference in terms of steam rendering, the same cannot be said of the CFX. If you look closely, you’d think that the CFX has the same cooling system as the Mighty, but the CFX’s top part has the sole function of closing the bowl. Clearly, the vapor inhaled with the CFX passes directly from the cooling block to the draw mouthpiece. As a result, the smoke is warmer and therefore less pleasant. Let’s not exaggerate: in absolute terms, the CFX’s vapor rendering is very qualitative, but remains below that of the Mighty. The fact that the vapor is hotter with the CFX may tend to cause more irritation in the throat, or even coughing. The quality of the materials used is also inferior to that of the Mighty, despite the ceramic bowl. As for the amount of vapor that can be produced, both the CFX and the Mighty can produce a lot of vapor and therefore satisfy the more seasoned smokers looking for a more pronounced ‘hit’. The fact is that the quality of the vapor rendered is better with the Mighty, in the sense that the smoke is better cooled and therefore smoother, and the quality of the materials perfectly preserve the aromas of the plants vaporized.

CFX vs Mighty: Features and handling

In terms of features, the Mighty offers significant advantages over the CFX. First of all, the Mighty has an LED display that shows the current temperature and duration of the vaping session, enabling greater control over vaping. The CFX, on the other hand, has no LED display, and temperature settings must be made using buttons.
In addition, the Mighty has a more efficient cooling system than the CFX, making the vapor smoother and more pleasant to inhale. This cooling system produces a superior quality vapor and reduces the risk of throat and lung irritation. The CFX also has a cooling system, but it is less efficient than that of the Mighty.
Finally, the Mighty offers longer battery life than the CFX. The Mighty’s battery can last up to 90 minutes, while the CFX’s lasts only 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the temperature used. This can be a major advantage for users who need to vaporize for long periods.
The Mighty is therefore more convenient to use. As far as ergonomics are concerned, the 2 devices have roughly the same dimensions, so neither of these 2 vaporizers stands out in this respect, but it has to be said that the Mighty offers a wider range of functions and performs better in this respect.

CFX vs Mighty: Value for money

For some, this aspect of the comparison might seem a little ‘crude’ at first, but at CannaHouse, we like to get our money’s worth and know what we’re spending it on, so this last axis of comparison seemed essential to us.
In terms of value for money, the CFX from Boundless is a very interesting option. It offers almost identical functionality to the Mighty at a more affordable price, with the recommended retail price of the Boundless CFX set at 139 euros. Our in-house testers feel that the Boundless’ price/performance ratio is ultra-attractive, in the sense that the CFX represents the gateway to high-end vaporizers, and that few herbal vaporizers on the market can boast such a functional, high-quality device at such an attractive price.

The Mighty , on the other hand, is a top-quality vaporizer offering a first-rate vaping experience. Its recommended retail price is 349euro, and good news: at Cannahouse, the Mighty is offered at a reduced price of 289euro. It’s still twice as expensive as its Boundless counterpart, but offers more features. In absolute terms, the quality of the vapor produced by the Mighty is only achievable with much more expensive herbal vaporizers. Even though the Mighty is twice as expensive, this is perfectly understandable. It’s hard to tell the difference between the CFX and the Mighty on this point, because compared to the rest of the market, these vaporizers both offer top value for money. So it’s more a question of budget. But we’ll give the CFX this point, because to offer such a high-quality vaporizer for this price remains for us a small feat.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the choice between the Mighty from Storz & Bickels and the CFX from Boundless will depend on each consumer’s preferences. If you’re looking for a high-end portable vaporizer that offers superior vapor quality and longer battery life, the Mighty is an excellent choice, its cooling system is undoubtedly its main asset, but what could be more important than providing quality vapor for a vaporizer you might ask. If you’re looking for a quality portable vaporizer at a more affordable price, the CFX is for you. Yes, the smoke is not as pleasant as with the Mighty, but the latter is offered at half the price, and the vapor quality is still very interesting compared to the rest of the market. The CFX represents a first-choice gateway to premium herbal vaporizers, while the Mighty shines for its innovation and design quality (as well as that of its materials).
