From Camouflet
Quick Verdict
The Camouflet Fuji and the Storz & Bickel Mighty+ are both serious portables built for serious users, but they represent genuinely different philosophies about what a premium vaporizer should be. The Fuji is a pure convection, all-glass and ceramic airpath device handmade in the USA — built for the user who wants the cleanest possible vapor and a native water pipe connection. The Mighty+ is a battle-tested hybrid conduction/convection workhorse with a decade of refinement behind it, built for reliability and ease of use above all else. At $200 more, the Fuji needs to earn that premium — and for the right user, it does.
Camouflet Fuji Overview
The Fuji is Camouflet's flagship portable, handmade in the United States and designed around a single uncompromising premise: the vapor should never touch anything other than glass and ceramic before it reaches your lips. That's not a marketing claim — it's an engineering constraint that shapes every decision in the device.
How It Heats
The Fuji uses pure convection heating. There is no conductive surface in contact with your herb during the heat-up phase. Hot air is drawn through a ceramic heating element and passes through the bowl on demand, meaning the extraction is almost entirely driven by your draw. This gives you genuine on-demand behavior — the herb doesn't continue cooking between hits the way it does in a conduction or hybrid device. Thermal mass is kept deliberately low in the flower chamber, which means flavor from the first hit to the last remains remarkably consistent.
Build and Materials
The full glass and ceramic airpath is the Fuji's defining feature. From the bowl to the mouthpiece, vapor contacts no plastic, no silicone, no metal. The device is assembled by hand in the USA, and the fit and finish reflects that — this is not an injection-molded consumer product. It has the feel of a precision instrument.
The native 18mm water pipe connection is a major practical differentiator. Most portables require adapters, stepped-down fittings, or third-party mouthpiece hacks to connect to glass. The Fuji drops directly into a standard 18mm female joint. For users who already own quality glass and want to run their portable through a rig or bubbler without a chain of adapters, this is a genuine functional advantage, not a gimmick.

Storz & Bickel Mighty+ Overview
The Mighty+ is Storz & Bickel's refined version of what was already one of the most respected portable vaporizers ever made. S&B has been building medical-grade vaporizers in Germany since the early 2000s, and the Mighty+ carries that legacy in a device that has been refined, stress-tested, and trusted by a massive global user base. Dismissing it at a $200 lower price point would be a mistake.
How It Heats
The Mighty+ uses a hybrid heating system — a combination of conduction from the bowl walls and convection as air passes through the herb. In practice, this means faster extraction with more consistent results for casual or less technique-dependent users. The bowl is always applying some heat to the herb, which means the Mighty+ rewards less-attentive drawing technique and produces dense, consistent vapor with virtually any approach. The tradeoff is that the herb continues to extract between draws, which can reduce session efficiency and alter the flavor profile over a long session compared to a true on-demand convection device.
The Mighty+ added USB-C fast charging over its predecessor — a meaningful quality-of-life upgrade — and retained the superb all-plastic-and-stainless construction that has proven extremely durable over years of use. It also features the Dosing Capsule system, which allows pre-packed herb capsules to be loaded and swapped quickly, making it a favorite among medical users managing precise doses across the day.
Build and Materials
The Mighty+ is built like a tank. The outer housing is high-quality plastic, and while that material choice keeps costs and weight manageable, it does mean the vapor path includes plastic components. S&B argues — with some justification — that their plastic is food-grade and inert at operating temperatures. Long-term users generally report no off-flavors attributable to the housing. That said, the airpath is not glass or ceramic, and for users with sensitivities or strong preferences around material purity, this is a real distinction.
The large, bright LED display shows precise temperature in real time. Temperature adjustment is done via a scroll wheel on the device, which is genuinely intuitive. The Mighty+ runs on dual internal lithium batteries and gets approximately 90 minutes of continuous use per charge.

Head-to-Head: Vapor Quality
This is where the two devices diverge most sharply, and where your personal priorities will determine the winner for you.
The Fuji produces vapor that is genuinely exceptional in terms of terp expression. Because the airpath is entirely glass and ceramic, there is nothing to absorb, mute, or add to the flavor profile. The first hit at a lower temperature — say, in the 370°F–385°F range — is extraordinarily clear and aromatic. You get individual terpene character in a way that very few portables can match. The convection-only approach also means each draw is slightly different depending on your draw speed and duration, which gives experienced users a level of active control over their extraction that the Mighty+ doesn't offer.
Extraction evenness in the Fuji is excellent across the top and middle of the bowl, though like most pure convection devices, it benefits from a medium-fine grind and some attention to packing density. Draw resistance is low-to-medium — it rewards a slow, deliberate pull. Rush the draw, and you'll pull cooler air and lighter vapor. Take your time, and the thermal dynamics reward you with rich, flavorful hits.
The Mighty+ produces noticeably denser vapor. The hybrid system means more of the herb is being heated simultaneously, and the result is thick, satisfying clouds that require less technique to achieve. For many users, particularly those transitioning from smoking or who prioritize visible vapor production, the Mighty+ will feel like the more "effective" device on first use. Flavor is good — genuinely good — but the plastic airpath introduces a subtle warmth to the vapor that glass users will notice. Extraction evenness is among the best in class for a hybrid device; the combination of conduction and convection leaves bowls very consistently extracted with minimal stirring required.
Edge: Fuji — for flavor clarity and terpene expression. The Mighty+ wins on vapor density and ease of achieving consistent results without technique.
Head-to-Head: Build Quality and Materials
Both devices are built to last, but in completely different ways.
The Fuji is a precision handmade instrument. Its glass and ceramic components require more care than polycarbonate housing — you won't drop it on concrete and walk away unworried. But the material choices reflect a commitment to purity that no other portable on the market matches at any price. Handmade in the USA means tighter quality control and, if something does go wrong, a company with direct accountability for every unit that leaves the workshop.
The Mighty+ is virtually indestructible by portable vaporizer standards. The housing has survived years of daily abuse in the hands of tens of thousands of users worldwide. S&B's German engineering reputation is well-earned; the device tolerates being dropped, pocketed, thrown in a bag, and used in conditions that would rattle more delicate devices. The spare parts ecosystem is extensive — screens, O-rings, cooling units, and mouthpieces are all available directly from S&B, and the device is genuinely user-serviceable.
Edge: Draw. The Fuji wins on material purity. The Mighty+ wins on durability and repairability. Neither is objectively superior — they serve different priorities.
Head-to-Head: Ease of Use
The Mighty+ is one of the easiest premium vaporizers to use. Heat it up, set your temperature with the scroll wheel, draw steadily — you're done. The hybrid heating system is forgiving of varying draw speeds and inconsistent packing. The Dosing Capsule system makes load-and-go use genuinely practical. For medical users, caregivers, or anyone who doesn't want to think about technique, this matters enormously.
The Fuji asks a bit more of the user. Pure convection devices reward technique — grind consistency, packing density, draw speed. New convection users sometimes find their first sessions underwhelming before they calibrate their approach. This isn't a flaw; it's the nature of on-demand convection. But it is worth naming honestly. The payoff for learning the Fuji's behavior is a more nuanced and rewarding session. The native 18mm connection also makes water filtration genuinely effortless for glass users, which is a usability win the Mighty+ can't match without adapter chains.
Edge: Mighty+ — for ease of use, particularly for newer users or those who want a pick-up-and-go experience with minimal technique dependency.
Head-to-Head: Value for Money
The Mighty+ at ~$399 is one of the strongest value propositions in the premium portable segment. It delivers reliable, high-quality performance backed by S&B's warranty, spare parts availability, and years of proven reliability. If you're spending $399 on a portable vaporizer, you are getting exceptional value.
The Fuji at $599 is harder to justify in purely utilitarian terms — and that's fine, because it isn't built for utilitarian users. The $200 premium buys you a full glass and ceramic airpath that no other portable offers, a native 18mm water pipe connection that eliminates the adapter ecosystem, handmade USA construction, and vapor quality that meaningfully exceeds what the Mighty+ can produce. For users who use a vaporizer as their primary consumption method and care deeply about what the vapor tastes like, the Fuji's premium is real and defensible. For users who want a reliable, high-performing portable without maximalist material purity concerns, the Mighty+ is the smarter financial decision.
Edge: Mighty+ — on objective value per dollar. The Fuji earns its price, but only for users whose priorities align precisely with what it offers.
