    Yeah, I did the top screen. But, the screens that come with the firefly are the wrong size. Frankly, for $300, we shouldn't be beta testing their products for them. If it's not a complete, fully tested product, then either charge accordingly or replace and/or upgrade it. I'm going to be so...

    I would also like to know the negatives as well as the positives. I got a firefly based on some very positive posts, only to find out, once I got one, how much trouble it is to keep clean. And that it's not as easy to control the puffing temperature as was suggested. And how annoying it was...

    If the goal of their software is to ensure that the contents of the bowl is never heated above 400 f, that does not preclude the heater, itself, getting above 400 f. And, if something touches or gets closer to that heating element than it's supposed to, that could be a source of combustion, IMHO.

    I'd love to see a comparative review of this versus the firefly by someone who has used both.

    I purchased one as well. Cleaning the bits of ABV off the old screen is a pain, especially where it meets the bowl Hopefully this will make it easier. The other place was sold out, so I got it from vapornation (also with %15 discount.) It looks somewhat different, but hopefully it is...

    You mean, between the glass bowl and the metal plate? Do you have to disassemble the firefly to get it in there?

    Also, how would I install this screen?

    Sorry, I'm sure this was already mentioned, but why do you want to use these screens instead of the original ones?

    Anyway, it hasn't scorched my bud lately. Seems to be working better.

    I carefully unscrewed my firefly, and discovered that there was a twig stuck in one of the holes of the steel plate beneath the screen. No idea how long it was there, or why it never burned up. I also noticed that the heating coil was not flat. One part of the loop was raised. I wonder if...

    The bowl is currently occupied, but I'll have a look later. I'm really tempted to send it back for inspection/repair. Maybe there is a degree of variation in the tolerances.

    OK, second try, and I definitely felt it more. But I also think I might have burnt the flower a bit. There's an art to it, I guess...

    Just tried that now. No visible clouds, but at least I was able to get a lungful of something. :-) And that something was medicated. Not what I was hoping for, but functional. However, I'm not sure I could 100% recommend someone go out and buy one (especially at the current price.)

    Yeah, exactly what I'm experiencing. In fact, after reading some of the other replies, where people have sworn there was no "sucking through a straw" resistance, I actually wrote to Firefly to complain. They even gave me an RMA to return my unit, but I'm wondering if there's really any point...

    Yes, if I draw at my Firefly's "natural speed", without forcing it, I feel like I'm sipping through a very skinny straw. I feel uncomfortable, like I'm running out of oxygen unless I allow some air through my nose or around my Firefly's mouth piece. If I really suck hard, its better, but I...

    IMHO, it CAN be a great vaporizer, but I wish it wasn't so dependent on technique. I can employ perfect technique, hold down the button just the right amount, draw just at the right speed, and get lovely, tasty vapor. But, if I share my bowl with my wife...popcorn, and I'm tossing it in the...

    Well, I got some clouds last night. I pre-heated for a couple of seconds, released for a tick, then waited for the glow before a long, slow inhale. Visible clouds. Unfortunately, my last hit tasted like popcorn and burned my lungs and throat. Funny thing is, there wasn't any black on the...

    I just got my Firefly a couple of days ago. I "Finger ground" technique to 2-3mm bits, but I didn't get good vapor-very weak. I tried different draw speeds, and managed to scorch it a bit, but still disappointed with the strength. I noticed my bud was pretty dense and hard to break apart. Do...
