    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    It was actually coming from the device itself. I seem to have gotten one of the few early units with that chemical smell/taste problem. It took some time and perseverance but FF eventually replaced it with a brand new one for me. The new unit just had the "normal" new unit smell (from the lid I...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    At times I have also noticed an unpleasant chemical smell/taste from the FF2. I have been in touch with the company about it...

    What is the latest firmware version on the FF2?

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    First off THANKS to stickstones for posting the data sheets! Seems like this might be a tough nut to crack. With the information we have now, how do you more experienced vaporists feel about the FF2 in terms of health and safety? Does it compare well to other vapes (like the Mighty) in this...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    Is anyone besides me still concerned by the solder in the air and vapor path? Even if it doesn't get hot enough to melt, could it be off gassing? I'd like more re-assurance that the FF2 is indeed safe... Any thoughts?

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    I agree and it's disappointing/concerning to see the design of this air path. I wonder if this is the reason for the chemical taste/smell that has been reported. Does anyone know how this compares to the vapor path in the original firefly, and also the mighty/crafty?

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    Just thought i would share my latest thoughts...these have already been written but they make a big difference: 1. Keep the unit completely clean at all times! it's so easy to wipe down and ISO wipes are so inexpensive that I like to bring it back to sparkling clean every few bowls. This helps...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    Well, I have both and am still a HUGE fan of the mighty. I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed with it. The pros and cons of each have already been well discussed. I would just add that the Mighty's going to be a lot better for group sessions with the larger bowl, even extraction with no...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    I would say the vapor production (ie clouds) is bit less with the FF2 a but still comparable to the mighty once you've dialed in your technique. But it takes more fussing with to get there (stirring and tamping). The mighty is just dead simple and always hits big for everyone. In terms of...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    I have both the mighty and the FF2. They're both great, but the FF2 just keeps getting better as you get to know it. I haven't even fired up the mighty in the past week or so. If I had to choose just one to keep, I would now pick the FF2. Did not expect that!

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    After owning the FF2 for more than a week I'm really starting to appreciate it more and more. The better you get to know it, the more it shines. The words that come to mind are clean and precise...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    I know firefly recommends a loose pack, but for clouds I think this density comment is exactly right. Last night I was able to get consistently HUGE clouds from the FF2 for the first time. It was amazing. Here was the technique: Medium grind Very full load Tamp down well* Medium or high heat (I...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    OK..I should probably take another week to fully evaluate because I’m still learning and getting used to it. But here are my impressions after two nights of use. Note that since my “go to” vape is the Mighty, I can’t help but compare the two: -slight machine or plasticky taste & smell...
