The herbal vaporizers are an excellent alternative for reducing tobacco consumption and smoke.
In recent years, the range of vaporizers on offer has diversified considerably, offering models of all sizes with a variety of functions.
So it’s not always easy to choose the right vaporizer for your needs.
In this article, we’ll take a look at two of the best herbal vaporizers on the market: the Mighty from Storz and Bickel and the Boundless CFX. We’ll explore their respective features, performance and functionality.
Rather than drowning you in tables full of figures, we have chosen to compare the Mighty and the CFX on three key aspects we consider essential for a quality herbal vaporizer.
We’ll explain in detail why these points are important, so you can better understand how these vaporizers work and the innovations they bring.
CFX vs Mighty: Steam rendering
Mighty :
If you’re familiar with the world of vaporizers, chances are you’re familiar with the Mighty, an iconic model from German brand Storz and Bickel.
The reputation of this herbal vaporizer is well established, thanks to its design quality and, above all, its exceptional vapor rendering.
Its place among the market leaders in herbal vaporizers is well deserved: the number of settings available and the quality of vaporization offer a truly enjoyable experience.
This success is mainly due to the efficiency of its heating system and its steam cooling system.
It’s these two elements that give Mighty such a high-quality vapor rendition.
The Mighty’s cooling system allows inhaled steam to travel a long way, cooling it while filtering out plant micro-particles.
Believe us, it makes a real difference.
What’s more, the Mighty’s plastic components are certified “medical grade”, guaranteeing optimum safety and reliability.
Storz & Bickel has clearly gone to great lengths to make the Mighty one of the best herbal vaporizers on the market, and the gamble has paid off!
CFX :
The Mighty’s steam cooling system is a major asset, offering a much more pleasant vaping experience than that of the CFX.
Although the CFX appears at first glance to have a similar system, the reality is different: the CFX’s top part only serves to close the bowl, and the vapor passes directly from the heating block to the mouthpiece without any real cooling.
This results in a warmer, less gentle vapor, and therefore potentially less pleasant to inhale.
Although the CFX’s steam is generally of good quality, it doesn’t reach the Mighty’s level.
The increased heat of the vapor can lead to throat irritation and even coughing, which can be a drawback for some users.
In terms of vapor production, both devices can generate a large quantity, satisfying users looking for a more pronounced “hit”.
However, the Mighty’s hit is more pleasant thanks to better-cooled, smoother vapor and high-quality materials that preserve herbal aromas.
The Mighty therefore offers a more balanced vaping experience, combining a powerful hit with a smooth, flavor-rich vapor, whereas the CFX, while effective, can be more irritating due to the heat of its vapor.
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 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 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 with 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
In the end, the choice between the Mighty from Storz & Bickels and the CFX will depend on the preferences of each consumer.
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 with 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).
