Mighty Plus Manual: How to Use, Clean and Fix Error Codes

Table of Contents

Storz & Bickel does not design pocket jewellery. The MIGHTY+ looks like a piece of German workshop gear. Its hybrid oven pulls hot air through the herb while warming the chamber walls at the same time. Hold the orange power switch for half a second, and in about 60 to 70 seconds it reaches its 180°C (356°F) base temperature.

Whether you just unboxed yours or you are trying to make sense of a code on the screen, this manual breaks down how to use the MIGHTY+, dial in your temperatures, clean out the cooling unit, and fix common error codes.

Looking to pick one up? We have the MIGHTY+ in stock right now for $399.99, alongside the rest of our Storz & Bickel vaporizers and our full lineup of portable vaporizers.

Section 01 · Setup

Before First Use

Hold off on packing the chamber right out of the box. A quick pre-flight check keeps your airflow clear from day one.

• Top up the battery: Plug the unit in and give it a full charge before your first session.
• Inspect the hardware: Check the vaporizer and its charger for any visible damage.
• Check the airway: Make sure the mouthpiece and cooling unit are clean and free of obstructions.
• Give the vents breathing room: Don't block or cover the air vents while the vaporizer is running or cooling down.
• Stay with it: Never leave the vaporizer unattended while it is switched on.

Section 02 · Power

Turning It On and Off

The MIGHTY+ runs on a single orange power switch.

• Powering on: Press and hold the orange power switch for at least half a second. The unit vibrates briefly and starts heating to its default 180°C (356°F).
• Powering off: Press and hold the same switch for at least half a second when you are done. A vibration confirms it is off.
• Auto shut-off: For safety, the MIGHTY+ turns itself off when it detects no activity for a set time. Weak draws may not count as activity, so press any button during a session to reset the timer.
• Cool-down: Let the device cool down completely before putting it in a bag, drawer, or case.

Section 03 · Loading

Filling the Chamber and Dosing Capsules

Packing a handheld vaporizer on a flat counter can end with spilled herb. Small feet on the bottom of the MIGHTY+ keep it steady on a flat surface. For extra support while loading, use the filling chamber tool: pull it out of the housing, rotate it so it sticks out, and slide it back in to act as a stand.

If you would rather skip scooping loose herb into the oven altogether, you can pre-fill Storz & Bickel's dosing capsules. The brand lists them as single-use and suitable for all of its devices. Because the herb stays inside the capsule, less residue builds up in the oven and cleanup is simpler.

We stock the Dosing Capsules - Pack of 40 ($18.99) and the Dosing Capsule Magazine ($9.99). The magazine comes with eight capsules and keeps them loaded and ready to swap in.

Section 04 · Temperature

Using It and Temperature Settings

Once the chamber is loaded and the heater reaches your target temperature, the MIGHTY+ vibrates twice to let you know it is ready. Flip out the mouthpiece and take a slow, even draw for a few seconds, about half of a full breath.

If you are looking for the best temperature for the MIGHTY+, Storz & Bickel does not prescribe a single magic number. The unit starts at a factory base of 180°C (356°F) and lets you set the oven anywhere between 40°C and 210°C (104°F and 410°F):

Section 05 · Charging

Charging and Supercharge

The MIGHTY+ charges over USB-C, using the supplied cable with a USB charger or a computer. For the fastest charge, pair it with Storz & Bickel's Supercharger (USB-C to USB-C, +15V at 3A, 45 W recommended). Supercharge brings the batteries to 80% in about 40 minutes.

• Pass-through charging ("dct"): Running low right before a session? With a Supercharger that supports pass-through, you can keep using the MIGHTY+ while it charges. When you connect it, dct shows on the second line of the display for three seconds to confirm pass-through is active.
• Reading the battery gauge: Six bars on the display means the battery is full. When the battery frame flashes slowly, it is nearly empty.
• Protecting your warranty: Storz & Bickel says to use only original Storz & Bickel accessories and chargers, both for safe operation and to keep your warranty.

Section 06 · Cleaning

Cleaning

If you are wondering about the gunk in your MIGHTY+, or your draws feel weak, start with the cooling unit and screens. Storz & Bickel's first fix for weak vapour is a full clean of the cooling unit and filling chamber.

Daily Maintenance

Turn the vaporizer off and disconnect it and the USB-C cable from power. After every session, use a cleaning brush to clear the filling chamber screen and the cooling unit screen.

Taking the Cooling Unit Apart

When brushing is no longer enough, take the cooling unit apart for a proper soak:

1. Pull the Cap Lock toward the mouthpiece, then pull the cooling unit cap off the vaporizer.

2. Pull the mouthpiece out of the cap, tilting it slightly back and forth, then pull off the mouthpiece seal ring.

3. Unscrew the cooling unit base from the vaporizer by turning it 90° counterclockwise.

4. Lever out the large base seal ring with the filling chamber tool, using the recess in the groove, then remove the small base seal ring.

5. Push the screen out of the cooling unit base with the filling chamber tool.

Deep Cleaning and Reassembly

• Soak the parts: Soak them in warm dishwater for at least 5 minutes, or soak the cooling unit parts and the filling chamber screen in isopropyl alcohol for no more than 30 minutes.
• Rinse and dry: Rinse every part under running water for at least one minute, then let everything dry completely before reassembling.
• Wipe the exterior: Clean the vaporizer body and the USB-C cable only with a dry, soft or slightly damp cloth.
• Inspect and rebuild: Check every part for cracks, brittleness, softening, hardening or discolouration, and replace anything damaged. Reassemble in reverse order, and make sure every seal ring is properly seated. The small base seal ring should sit fully inside the cooling unit cap, out of sight.
