Question.. The Glass Stems dont seem to fit.. Mine is loose and falls out.. Do I have to massage heat them like the Glass Steams on the Solo?
Do you have the Black shrink tubing on the stem , the naked glass stem will just fall offf without it .

Thank you. Yes that is what I was doing wrong.. Duh... In all fairness to me, I cant see as good as I use to and thought it was a Black Cap.. Not open on both sides..
Hey.. How long does it take the Stage-2 Batteries to charge? Mine is going on 3 hrs now and still not green..

I'm not sure exactly, but it takes quite a while to charge the stage 2s

I found the Stage 2 can take up to 10 hours on that first charge before you get the green light for takeoff.
sometimes the initial charge period may be longer because batteries are shipped completely empty for safety reasons. it may take longer to initiate the charge cycle on some cells, for the first charge.
the normal charging time is around 4-5 hours for the 3.7v STAGE-2 cells (2250 mah), and 2-3 hours for 3.2v cells (1350 mah) @ 500 mah charge rate.
we are working on a 1200 mah*1 / 1000 mah*2 quick S2 dual charger... which will see the S2 battery fully charged in around 2 hours. ETA on the S2 quick dual charger is 3-4 weeks away.

I love when Vape manufacturers offer lots of factory made and approved options.
Maybe candy apple paint and a sound system with iPhone dock? A weed finding navigation system? T-top? Leather trim with chrome accents? Full service dealerships that offer test drives and financing for well qualified customers? Please? I'll buy a whole fleet and distribute them to starving children in Africa,because even fly-ridden starving people deserve a quality vaporizer. Unless you WANT starving people to go sober...

I do believe I promised a photo of the glowing core awhile back:
nice shot!!!
looks like you can run a small smelter in there...

NEW SPACER S2 ON MY WAY!! 
hip hip hurray.
thanks
hip hip hurray.
thanks
How's the long term life of the s2 batteries?
I've been looking for a quality portable convection cape lately and was originally looking at the VG glass and bronze, then that new Hammer since butane means no batteries. I see that this cape uses note heavy duty batteries than the MFLB and similar however.
In addition to concerns regarding the batteries, how well does the ceramic insert function at converting the Flashvape to a convection unit and how durable is it for shaking the vape as a stirring method? I've seen some broken pics...
I'm not certain if asking for product comparisons in a thread where the manufacturer posts is considered taboo but potential battery headaches aside I am curious how this compares to the Hammer as a convection vape.

The FV uses 18650 Li-ion batteries, which have an estimated life of 300 full charging cycles. I'm not sure anyone has put their FV batteries through that many charges yet. Mine are still going strong after four and a half months of frequent use.
The original S2 spacer worked exceptionally well at converting the FV into a convection device. Sadly many of them fractured, although some (such as my second one) continued to be usable after breaking. Once in place it fits snugly and shaking isn't the likely reason they were breaking. No on has the new spacer yet but it is on its way to some of us, and there's no reason to think it will work any worse than the first version. It is definitely more robust and shaking to stir shouldn't be a problem.
The Hammer's strengths are great flavour, conservative stash consumption, and an easily obtained portable fuel source. The stems are glass, but with a little care or better still, an unbreakable stem the Hammer is an ideal hiking/fishing/camping trip unit. It requires a little technique to use but nothing particularly difficult, and you can produce fairly dense vapour with a little practice. It is a bit noisy when used at full strength but is pretty quiet at the mid-strength setting. It is not a real stealth vape because using it with a stem is difficult to conceal, and it gets too hot to put quickly into your pocket. I wouldn't use mine for a daily driver, but I'm sure lots of people would be happy with doing that.
The FV is not really a stealth vape either, nor is it a pocket portable. It's fairly heavy and large but it is easily carried in a backpack/purse or similar, or a big pocket if you don't mind your pants falling down. It is extremely flexible in terms of load size, working effectively on loads as small as .05 g all the way up to 3-4 g. It is a really good conduction vape but it is quite powerful and requires that you learn some technique in order to avoid combustion. In convection mode it is an even better device and much less vulnerable to combustion. The flavour it delivers is strong and pure with no added taste. Once you've mastered the techniques it is capable of producing anything from thin low temperature tasty vapour all the way up to hot thick clouds. I use the FV as my daily driver.

Volute of Vapor
Hi Guys,
I'm new on FC and on the vape world, I bought a FV in France 3 weeks ago with S2 kit, it work good but
it seems to me that it runs colder than the first week, perhaps the issue comes from the batteries (1 battery=1 session and never 2 or 3), somebody had this issue too? that's not really much colder but it seems to me that now I need to count 7 instead of 5 (and perhaps i use too much medication?)
My vapes: HerbalaireH2.2, Cloud from VXC, Noble vapor VP_600, Flashvape, T1 , MFLB and inh004xp will be the next one

FV ANNOUNCEMENT
=======================
FLEXIBLE SILICON DRAW TUBE ADAPTER
At FV, we are always working on ways new and innovative ways to make the FlashVAPE even better and more user friendly. The latest FV development is the "FLEXIBLE SILICON DRAW TUBE ADAPTER".
This adapter is a piece of custom made surgical grade silicon tubing, with one end that fits snugly into the draw hole on the FV's swivel cap. With the adapter firmly in place, it acts like a flexible holder which you insert the glass draw tube into. This makes for a tighter fit for holding the glass draw tube in place when shaking the FV, and also allows some flexibility to the connection where the glass tube joins the swivel cap, making it less likely to break if bent. It also can accommodate a wider range of different draw tubes previously not usable due to being slightly smaller or larger in diameter, as the silicon tube has great expansion properties. the OD of the silicon adapter is 7.5mm, and the ID is 5.5mm, making it suitable for attaching draw tubes ranging from 6mm-7mm OD.
All FV sets will now ship with 2 the new silicon tube adapters and 2 glass draw tubes, and the old style shrink wrap tipped glass draw tubes will be discontinued. Each set of 5 pack glass draw tubes will each come with 5 silicon adapters as well as 5 glass draw tubes.
FV SILICON WHIP ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
Another new attachment being introduced is the FV Silicon Whip Attachment system, with a *FREE* mini water bubbler with each set. The FV whip is made out of the same custom diameter, surgical grade silicon tube as the draw tube adapter, and is simple to attach to the FV's swivel cap (simply insert one end of the whip into the draw hole, until snugly attached).
Each set comes with:
1* 70cm/27" silicon tube whip
2* glass draw tubes
2* silicon draw tube adapters
1* FREE mini water bubbler attachment
Retail price per set: $9.90
* Above is the FV whip attachment with the glass tube attached. Notice how the small piece of silicon connector is attached onto the tip of the glass draw tube, this is the perfect position to be able to push it directly into the connector hole on the mini water bubbler to form a snug fit.
* Below is what an FV with whip and mini water bubbler attached looks like:
The FV silicon tube whip is an excellent choice for connecting the FV to your favorite bubbler system, and it also allows for two handed operation of the FV, giving you a better view into the vapor window on top to see the magic as the vapor forms.
Oh, and yes, the free bonus mini water bubbler is the same 49 cent bubbler made famous by Vitolo. We figured instead of charging 49c for it, why not give one away for free with each FV Silicon Whip Attachment system !?
!?
... everyone loves a little something for free, don't you?

FlashVAPE! Just want to say, I love your style. Y'all never quit surprising me! I'm a sucker for accessories.
I will own one of these some day.
I will own one of these some day.
Thanks in large part to pakalolo's post above I think I may just order a Flashvape in a couple weeks. Sounds like its the fastest, most powerful portable vape available and the batteries aren't common AAs like the other electric portable I own.
I do have a question about future ordering options however: As I already own a portable conduction vape I am looking only at convection units. Will there be an option to order a S2 Flashvape as a single package, without the original lower powered batteries and charger? While a price premium for the ceramic insert and more powerful batteries is to be expected I would rather not be paying for the base items which I do not need.

It certainly seems a contender in the battery space, but it depends on your definition of fast. As far as fast release of a wider range of cannabinoids, I think flame-based comes out on top.
The FV reaches vapourizing temperature in 4-5 seconds. Which flame-based vapourizers are faster?
Love the new kit! It should be called the Pak special.
Well, the iolite left me unimpressed, though I have not used the glass/bronze VG nor the Hammer, so I don't really know.

Well they're not necessarily faster in terms of speed to hit, but I find both the Hammer and Vapor Genie faster in terms of releasing that wider range of cannabinoids. Not just the temperature they reach but how they retain it throughout the hit. The "x-factor" as OO calls it. YMMV.
Good point about the iolite. I never cared for it much either.Well, the iolite left me unimpressed, though I have not used the glass/bronze VG nor the Hammer, so I don't really know.
