I'd like to second this. I'm sure the Turbine HT makes for an interesting experience, but I've never used the EVO with anything but the standard, and it's in a class by itself.

Does anyone know if denatured alcohol is better or worse than 91% Isopropyl? It seems to work a bit faster, but it's toxic, so that's a trade-off - you have to clean a bit more thoroughly afterward.

It should be noted, among all the talk of water devices, that I sought opinion here about purchasing the EVO with an ordinary, non-hydro mouthpiece. I was advised that by no means was a water device an absolute necessity to appreciate the Cloud EVO - and I want to _thank_ all here who gave me...

Odd that the standard piece is $30 when part of a package but $20 when purchased separately. I feel like I must be missing something. Certainly grateful for all the time taken in reply. Many thanks! DGI

I'd like to ask a really fundamental question, if I may, of Cloud EVO users: I'm thinking about purchasing one because I'm kind of fanatical about clean convection. I'm not a huge fan of water devices, however. My question is whether it's crazy to purchase a Cloud EVO to use without water. I'm...

A question for those using the FF2: Unlike the FF1, which has a ring that sits flush atop the bowl, and allows air flow through channels in that ring, it would appear that the air flow for the FF2 is the entire length of the cover, and that there is a small gap that extends across the top of the...

That would, presumably, be their motive for providing a discount on the new unit - a percentage fewer warranty repairs. But the economics aren't quite balanced. They can refurbish/replace lots of FF1s for less than the profit they'd lose from selling FF2s at a discount, most likely. Perhaps...

It would be awfully nice if instead of an FF1 warranty repair they offered a discount on a new FF2. It would make sense for marketing, although wouldn't do them a lot of good financially."

Thank you for the excellent overview! I have a rudimentary question to which the answer may be self-evident, but can the new, more powerful batteries (or equivalent) be used with the analog unit? We often read that devices can perform erratically when a power source for which they weren't...

Yes, it stays intact. There's a screen as well as a small, perforated ceramic piece that mediates draw. Actually, one of the few criticisms I've heard of the design (which I find plenty stealthy, and extremely comfortable) is that the glass mouthpiece comes off too easily. In future models...

The green pulsating light is your friend and your guide. That's what I learned over time. Seems simple, but it took me a while. Good luck.

Theoretically, even more costly. I love my FF1 for its best qualities, which are many. But the batteries for the FF1 simply die after about six months of recharging. I had two new batteries when I bought the unit, and I had to buy a third after six months. That's $90 worth of batteries. They say...

Speaking of Focus accessories, I know this must be a dumb question, but can someone tell me how this piece works? http://www.puffitup.com/Focus-Dry-Material-Pod-p/fcv.114-dry_cart.htm

I wrote to the guy at PIU and he's putting accessories on the site as they get them in stock. There should be a bunch of stuff there now.

Part of the problem was that my first unit was defective, but I didn't know it until I heard from others. Company replaced it. Unit never reached temperature, and cooled down immediately after hitting its high point. But in general, the FF1 required a commitment to method that units like the...

The FF1 had a HUGE technique issue. I was still learning it after a month. It was a point of contention with the device. The new one is much more direct and automatic, but I'm wondering how the battery issues are affected. I can't imagine it's not a power hog.

That is somewhat improved by replacing the screen with a standard mesh, although it still clogs more than you'd want.

I thought it might serve to slow the draw in order to keep too much material from clumping on the screen at once, and impeding flow. An attenuator.

Thanks! After a long while I simply re-seated the battery in the charger and it went green. Clearly, a better-quality charger would be preferable, but the current one seems to be working. The device itself is incredible. If the performance continues to be as good as it is now, the Focus is a...

Thanks for the replies. I have another question, this being my first day with the Focus. Thus far the charger light has remained red despite charging the battery for likely 8 hours. Yet the battery appears to have charged, as indicated by the device's white light. Shall I assume the charger's...
