Arizer Solo 3 vs Mighty+: Canada Challenges Germany
On paper, the Arizer Solo 3 should send the Mighty+ into retirement. Larger battery, faster heat-up time, higher maximum temperature, vapor through glass instead of plastic — and all of this at a lower price. Yet a lot speaks for the Mighty+. How can that be?

All technical specifications according to manufacturer data

The Solo 3 wins in five of the most important categories. So why do people still choose the Mighty+? Because vaporizers are more than their specifications.
Where the Mighty+ Scores
The Cooling Unit of the Mighty+
The plastic cooling unit of the Mighty+ noticeably cools the vapor on its way to your mouth. The cooling unit simultaneously collects condensate.
The Solo 3 relies on a glass mouthpiece. Glass is flavor-neutral, plastic is not. However, the vapor path is shorter and the cooling is less.
Vapor path: Solo 3 glass, Mighty+ plastic cooling unit.
Dosing Capsules: The S&B Ecosystem
Both devices support dosing capsules — but the Storz & Bickel system is more refined, more widespread, and available in more shops. Fill them in advance, slot them in on the go, the chamber stays clean. Arizer has its own capsule system for the Solo 3, which works, but is less widespread.
Material: Plastic vs Glass
The cooling unit can break, but a replacement costs 15 EUR and is available everywhere. The Solo 3 has a glass mouthpiece that breaks if you drop it. Arizer includes a spare glass, but on the go a broken mouthpiece means the end of the Session. Silicone caps are available as protection.
Everyday Portability
The Mighty+ disappears completely into a jacket pocket. Compact, no protruding parts. The Solo 3 has a protruding glass stem that needs careful transport. In a trouser pocket? Only without the mouthpiece. In a rucksack? Only with a protective case. The Mighty+ is less fuss in everyday life.
Where the Solo 3 Scores
Battery: Roughly Half as Much Again
Arizer publishes no mAh figure for the Solo 3 V2, but states up to three hours of use per charge. The Mighty+ has 3300 mAh (conflicting source values). Both offer passthrough charging, but the Solo 3 has the advantage of needing it less often.
Heat-up Time: up to 15 vs. around 60 Seconds
Four times faster. 15 seconds for the Solo 3 compared to 60 seconds for the Mighty+. This is the biggest difference in everyday use. The Solo 3 is ready before you’ve sat down. The Mighty+ demands patience.
Glass in the Vapor Path
Glass is flavor-neutral. Plastic is not. The Solo 3 has a glass vapor path. Many enthusiasts prefer glass vapor paths for exactly this reason.
Price: Noticeably Cheaper
The Solo 3 currently costs from 215.68 € incl. shipping, the Mighty+ from 235.60 € Code VAPOCHECKER5 · incl. shipping. Less money for a device that on paper wins in almost every category.
