My experience has been that the first hit is the strongest.

Anyone dissect a lid yet? Was thinking about frosting the glass for slight stealth and building a little stirrer holster in.

with a slow draw, most of them stick somewhere along the vapor path. I have to pull pretty hard to get anything through.

Many of us had weird smells at first, dissipated after a bit of use. Haven't seen any reports of it lasting.

Kinda want to set up a lid swap in six months when everyone wants something a bit different. Any nerds out there tried running the lid through a laser cutter to add a design? I'm tempted, but I don't know enough about the composition to dive in ;-)

It took me a few days to get, but it's not too tricky. The key is starting each hit sloooow, then you can speed up to whatever is comfortable. Also, high setting isn't THAT high, if you're looking for more visibility and couchlock (I use it to sleep, so that's my personal goal).

They changed it just before shipping. I'm told that it's in quarters on released models, 1-4 flashes. That said, it takes a long time to get below 4 then progresses quickly.

If you're feeling like your breath is too restricted, try cutting an inch of silicone tubing and stretching it over the mouthpiece. I'm not sure if it's the larger area or my imagination, but it's more comfortable for me.

The smell seems to be gone from mine, hurray!

There's a little bit of a weird taste when I draw without the pipe loaded... anyone else get that? I took a test draw, got it... cleaned everything, put it up to high for a bit, then loaded it for the first time, and there's still some of it there.
