Today we’re putting two heavyweights of the dry herb vaporizer world head‑to‑head: the Mighty+ (Plus) vs Arizer Solo 3. These are two of the most talked about portable vaporizers on the market, each with a loyal fan base and a reputation for delivering top‑tier performance. And for good reason; choosing between them is like choosing between a Ferrari and a Porsche. No matter which one you pick, you’re in for a seriously good time. Let’s break down the differences so you can decide which one’s right for you.
Scored by category (Higher is better)
Both the Mighty+ (Plus) and the Arizer Solo 3 v2 are built like tanks, but they go about it in very different ways.
The Mighty+ uses medical‑grade PEEK plastic, the same stuff used in medical devices, which makes it tough, heat‑resistant, and comfortable to hold. It’s got that signature Storz & Bickel ribbed design for grip and heat dissipation. The buttons are intuitive, the display is simple, and the whole thing feels premium in hand.
The Solo 3 v2, on the other hand, is a metal and glass beast. The anodized aluminum body feels rock solid, and the all‑glass vapor path screams purity. It’s heavier and taller than the Mighty+, but it’s also more refined in its finish. The glass stems are a big part of the Solo 3’s identity in that they’re not just functional, they’re part of the ritual.
The Mighty+ heats up in about 60–90 seconds, which is fine but not blazing fast. It has full on‑device temperature control with simple up/down buttons and a clear display. You can dial in your exact temp without touching an app.
The Solo 3 v2 is faster (around 15–20 seconds to hit temp) and also gives you precise control right on the device. It’s got a bright OLED screen, easy navigation, and more temp range flexibility. Plus, it remembers your last setting, which is a nice touch.
The Mighty+ has temperature control built in (as well as boost mode) while the Crafty operates on “preset” settings. Long pressing the power button starts the session and your temperature is 356F. Double pressing gets you into boost mode, and a triple press of the button puts it into it’s highest temperature mode.
This is where the Mighty+ takes the crown (I’m sure I’ll catch a little heat from the community on this lol).
The Mighty+ delivers smooth, flavorful draws right from the first pull, thanks to its hybrid convection/conduction heating and excellent cooling unit. The first 3–5 draws are terpene heaven, and while flavor naturally tapers off, it stays enjoyable throughout the session.
The Solo 3 v2 produces dense, potent vapor with great flavor too, especially with its all‑glass path, but in side‑by‑side testing, the Mighty+ edges it out in flavor clarity and smoothness. It’s just a little more refined in taste.
Neither of these is a true “pocket vape” in the way a tiny conduction unit is, but the Mighty+ is easier to toss in a bag and go. It’s lighter, shorter, and doesn’t require carrying fragile glass stems.
The Solo 3 v2 is bulkier and the glass stems make it less travel‑friendly. You can take it places, but you’ll want a case and some care.
The Mighty+ gives you 8–12 sessions per charge, with USB‑C fast charging that gets you to 80% in about 40 minutes. That’s solid, but the Solo 3 v2 is a battery monster, easily pushing 15-20 sessions on a single charge depending on your temps and draw style.
Both use USB‑C, but the Solo 3’s battery endurance is on another level.
The Mighty+ is dead simple and intuitive. Three buttons, clear display, and no learning curve. You can hand it to a first‑time user and they’ll be vaping in seconds.
The Solo 3 v2 isn’t hard to use, but the glass stems, loading style, and slightly more menu navigation make it a bit more involved. It’s not complicated by any stretch, just not as instantly intuitive.
The Mighty+ cooling unit needs cleaning every couple of weeks, and it’s a bit of a process as you need to disassemble it, soak it in ISO, and rinse it thoroughly. The oven itself is easy to swab out.
The Solo 3 v2 is ridiculously easy to clean as the glass stems pop out and can be soaked in ISO, plus the oven rarely needs more than a quick brush. No complex parts, no hidden honey traps.
If flavor, ease of use, and portability are your top priorities, go with the Mighty+ (Plus). It’s simple, consistent, and delivers some of the best‑tasting vapor in the portable category.
If you want better battery life, faster heat‑up, more power, easier cleaning, and a more premium build, the Arizer Solo 3 v2 is the clear winner.
TL;DR:
Both are excellent — it just depends on what you value most.
The Mighty+ is easier to use, more portable, and has slightly better flavor. The Solo 3 is faster, stronger, and lasts way longer on a charge.
The Mighty+ — especially in the first few draws.
The Mighty+ — no fragile glass stems to worry about.
The Solo 3 v2 — it’s not even close.
If you want the easiest, tastiest portable vape, get the Mighty+. If you want the most powerful, longest‑lasting portable vape, get the Solo 3 v2.
