When it comes to manufacturing quality, the Mighty is a solid unit. The entire shell is made of PEEK plastic, it features a convection heater, and a digital display for precise temperature control.
The plastic shell is a bit of a blessing and a curse, for the most part it is rugged, but does not hold up as well if it ever gets dropped. We have seen plenty of cases of cracked and broken plastic from natural wear and tear over time.
Another aspect that makes us feel the age of the Mighty is the proprietary charger it uses, which forces users to lug around a brick charger if they ever need to charge the Mighty while they are out.
The Mighty also features 2 internal batteries which lends to its overall size, and while battery life is ample in the Mighty, the size detracts from it being a viable on-the-go portable.

The Zeus Arc being the newer of the 2 units is a bit more efficient with how the manufacturing was executed, offering an efficient and powerful heater housed in a sleek, small, and sexy chassis. The Zeus Arc takes a more luxury approach to its look, rather than the utilitarian, Black & Decker-esque look at the Mighty employs.
The Zeus Arc is the first vaporizer to offer an old gold vapor path. Gold is known for its highly conductive properties, which is why Zeus chose it for the Arc. The gold efficiently transfers the heat to your herbs in the chamber while simultaneous extracting heat in the gold heatsink found in the mouthpiece. The result of this impressive feat of engineering is large clouds of vapor from an unassumingly small unit.
With the Zeus Arc your herbs are evenly cooked after the session, with a nice dark coffee brown look, ensuring full extraction of your herbs. In contrast, the Mighty seems to require several stirs during the session to get an even cook, and the herbs still look closer to golden brown.

Zooming down a little further on the Arc’s manufacturing quality is the fact that it has a built in scoop for loading, which is much more convenient than the Storz & Bickel’s loading Fill Tool, which forces you to carry a separate piece to properly load your herbs.
The Zeus Arc also has a USB charging port at the bottom which makes it a lot easier to charge while on the go or if you ever lose your original charging cable. Also, the Zeus Arc is firmware upgradeable, meaning that you will be able to update your unit as they become available, which is not a thing with the Mighty.
The Zeus Arc also features a single 3500 lithium polymer battery, which gives the Zeus Arc a great battery life for a unit so small, lasting 90 minutes. The Mighty lasts roughly 2 hours, but considering the size difference, we are impressed with the Arc’s battery efficiency.

So the pre-set temperatures on the Zeus Arc can’t be changed by the user through an app or something like that?? You’re stuck with 205, 215 and 225??
Currently those are the only temperatures available, however, there will be a PC Application coming out that will allow you to change the pre-set temperatures.
