Expats from Reddit's largest community focusing on cannabis flower vaporizers.

  1. Be chill, this is a cannabis forum after all.
  2. Post links, pics, vids talking about where your fav vape/bong/glass/pipe was from.
  3. Don’t sell anything consumable on here. No sales of herb, extract, carts, pens, edibles, drinks, tintcures, anything that’s a consumable product.
  4. DEVICES and ACCESSORIES like a Mighty, Tinymight, some custom glass for a Carta or PuffCo Peak, 510 Mods, log vapes, DIY/One off vapes/pipes/bags/stems/dab tools/Etsy type shit that Etsy bans. That stuff is fine. AT YOUR OWN RISK. And that needs it’s own channel/community(communities) if people are interested in an exchange.
  5. Provide citations/sources for posts/comments where needed.
  6. Openly discuss safety of equipment/devices and cannabis products.
  7. Be mindful of what you post on here. The point is to have the whole server indexed by Google and other search providers and keep the space alive/history documented/growing in the future. (AKA Share Knowledge / Share the vibes. / Don’t get me arrested plz. )

Why?

Because the DC barrel charger was rugged as FUCK compared to this USB-C port.

Even though I killed my OG Mighty by plugging a 24v adapter into it instead of its 12v adapter since the DC barrel plugs were the same size....

It still took me over 3 years to kill it by plugging the wrong voltage charger in.

The Mighty+ I bought to replace it ~3 months ago won't charge unless the USB-C cable is in the perfect position anymore.

I was super excited about being able to use a MacBook charger, faster heat times with the +. But now I just have regret for not saving money by buying another OG Mighty instead of upgrading to the Mighty+ when I had to get a replacement.

It should still be covered under warranty.

ya i'lll get it swapped, just a bummer still lol

I'll be more careful with the second one now that i know this something I'll probably break again being rough.

I don’t know…I went through 6 of the OG mighty chargers, they failed all the time for me. The speed that the + heats up, and that everything in my house is moving to USB-C made the + a game changer. I’ve had to RMA my + once now, but it wasn’t related to the charge port going bad (display stopped working).

Good to know. The USC-C port as one of the things that made me consider upgrading to the Mighty+. I guess I'll hold onto my OG Mighty.

I've already looked into some sort of "modding" that would allow me to use USB-C with my Mighty, but I'm too afraid to mess things up and break it. The original charger works just fine, so why bother?

I had the same issue with my original Mighty+ after about 6 months of use. They accepted a RMA with no hassle after telling them about the port issue that also triggered Err03 and Err04 while charging. I think the return took about a week going from East coast to West coast and back.

New one is still working like a champ.

I've also seen people recommend the magnetic USB c connectors to eliminate some wear on the port.
