    One trick that really helped me develop the feel for the technique is to loosely pack only half a bowl. Medium coarse finger grind. With half a bowl you can really see how the proper draw/button pressing can achieve very even extraction and results. Obviously it is easier to do with a smaller...

    :lol: How long are you drawing while holding the button? And I get about 5 to 6 hits out of each pack. Also, I blow hard into the chamber and into the lid window and that seems to clear debris pretty sufficiently between bowls. :lol:

    A friend came over and we blasted through 2 tasty bowls, no charring anymore. Once the unit is warmed up it hits really well. It's easy to overdo the button because the vapor really is so smooth and cool. The friend picked it up really quickly. I do notice material pieces at the edge of screen...

    Da Buddha

    I am looking for a desktop Vape, have had great experiences with my friends' SSV (it must be 6 or 7 years old now and is going strong!). I am torn between Da Buddha and the SSV. I like hands free, but ultimately efficiency and taste is my main concerns. Any advice? Anyone own both? Thanks a lot!

    I tried dialing back of my button-pushing. Only preheated for 4 sec before 1st hit. No preheat after that. Only held button for 8 to 10 seconds max per hit. Extraction seemed much more even and I didn't get any charring at all. Still got clouds, but harder to notice during the hit. Overall...

    So I had a friend over last night and passed the Firefly a bit. When you can explain it to someone, they pick it up fast. I noticed that if I don't stir after the second hit it can be a bit uneven, and very dark on bottom. I think I may have been riding the button a bit long. I have only been...

    Experience really just improves once you have the technique down. Amazing that I can wake up, take a nice big vape hit and just walk away.

    Sarah at Firefly immediately sent me a shipping label to return the faulty extra battery and they are shipping me a new one. Nice work, Firefly. Avoiding a hassle is big in my book. Easy

    I had more success achieving a darker brown by holding the button for longer before beginning my draw and that helped knock out the remainder in combination with tamping it down a bit. I also tried plugging in the unit while the faulty battery was in it. Solid blue light with occasional green...

    That was what the LED on the external charger was doing. I didn't plug the unit in with that battery, so I don't know what the unit LED would do. Unit works with other battery fine and other battery charges normally. Also, I figured out how to get the last bits of the load. Much longer button...

    Also, the replacement battery doesn't appear to work. Seems faulty. Fully charged it, it lasted about 8 seconds then died. When on charger it started to give me green, red, blue lights. Emailed Firefly and see about a new one.

    I have used 4 loads since I have been home from work. Fair amount of success. The unit is nice on the eyes and feels solid and well built. Taste is great, and no combustion issues. Interestingly, @fbringsley and @unprophete, I also experienced particulate two separate times and noticed that...

    I am hoping for FedEx miracle and my unit arrives today or tomorrow. Tracking expects Monday. Monday isn't the weekend. Noooooo!!

    Extra batteries would be the better bet. 60 bucks for shipping is just lost money unfortunately. Mine is expected to be here on Monday, but I have my fingers crossed that it will arrive this weekend. It shipped Tuesday, and I am in the midwest.
