Greetings, Firefly Nation, Indeed, check the date of my posting. This group is smart, with a really good sense of humor. Right ? It seemed like the right thing to do, given the oftentimes bizarre nature of VAS-induced anxiety vis-a-vis doing penance in pre-order purgatory. Many of us here...

Greetings, all, All this science talk has given me a grin so big I might get a face cramp. Thanx ! :myday:

"Shit the bed, Ted". Whooomp, there it is ! WooHoo ! ! My titanium Grasshopper from pre-order. Fuck yes, and me and my new BFF must be off to the field now! ! ! :myday:

WooHoo ! ! When I opened my mailbox today, BAMMM !, there it was: my gold Firefly 2. It is so-o-o purdy ! Gotta begin the shake down cruise ! ! !:myday:

Hi Vapetrees, Thank you for your response. I have to make a conscious effort to not "fixate" on tiny details. Hopefully, when I get my titanium Grasshopper (eventually) I can just enjoy the experience without obsessing about all things metallurgical. I am calm now. Thanx. :myday:

Hi Vapetrees, On the topic of thread lubrication, I will certainly defer to those of you with real-world experience. I usually over think things (autism), and I need to slow it down a tad, and that is why I appreciate feedback from people who actually have and use the Grasshopper as to whether...

Hi Vapzilla, Yes, dielectric grease. Thank you. I purposely did not mention the word "grease" as this would surely cause the slope to become quite slippery, indeed. I am standing in the pre-order purgatory line, still. So I have not physically made Grasshopper contact. Once I have my...

Hello, My main point is that it is likely that the common issue of hot backends may be attributed to less than perfect contact between the backend and the battery/body. Grasshoppers use inductive pickup for electrical transmission via the metal shell, instead of wires, which is fucking...

Hi mitchgo61 & darkrom, My latest iteration of my Firefly 1 was returned to me from Firefly in November 2015. I do remember reading, somewhere, about the next -generation coil, designed for Firefly 2. However, now I cannot remember where I read this. (Senior moment ?) Anyhoo, by November...

Hi Vaperist, Although I am somewhat reluctant to delve into matters metallurgical, I must. Briefly. Grade 4 titanium is super fucking hard. As a result, the male/female thread interface never actually "wears in", like say aluminum, or even stainless steel. No problemmo, however, the...

Hi Darkrom, I got my first Firefly in March 2104. Then it died, and I got a total replacement in summer of 2015, until it died in November 2015. When it was returned, it was obviously my Firefly, but I am certain that it was retrofitted with the new technology coil. It works better than any...

Hi Vaperist, I would recommend using a special lubricant which is inert, and intrinsically safe, and designed for metal applications. Any decent hardware store or electronic supply house should have just what you need. Although, I know absolutely nothing about the relevance this advice may or...

Hi Ratchett, To add to my earlier comment, I suspect that back-end heat issues might be attributed to a compromised connection between the battery/body and the back-end itself, perhaps due to a failure to fully thread the two pieces together for a positive connection. I would think that even a...

Hi Ratchett, I concur with your assessment of the root cause of back-end heat issues: errant electricity. :myday:

Hi darkrom, I have been a stalwart member of Firefly Nation since March 2014. The original Firefly screen has six holes. Firefly2 screen has fifty (50 !) laser-cut holes. So, employing rudimentary mathematics, we find that Firefly version 2.0, if you will, has more airflow orifices than the...

Hi Quetzalcoatl, Thanx for providing the Bubbleman video. I really like this guy's style. He is articulate, adequately focused on the aspects of the Grasshopper that matter to him, and I don't believe that I have seen a vaporizer review in a more spectacular setting than this...

Hi EdE80, Who is this Manuel fellow of which you speak ? I have heard of Trevor, and Caroline, but not who he is or what he has said. Do tell, please. Thanx. :myday:

Hi vapviking, I totally agree with your thoughts about "purchasing through proper channels". All too often, when a popular product reaches the marketplace, the counterfeiters go into hyperdrive to produce cheap imitations, which they sell online as the genuine product. Case in point: the...

High Vapetrees, I have a vocabulary barrel which is chock full of anachronisms, and sometimes I forget to keep a lid on it. For example: "Slipperier than deer guts on a doorknob" is my favorite way to describe how goldurnn slippery something is. If you have ever experienced this then you...

Hi colonelcumbusto, True dat. :myday:
