I find that a coarser grind adversely impacts extraction. I get fewer hits and less even browning. Medium to fine grind for me. I get thorough extraction without "working too hard" because I draw slow and steady. My battery cover slips off too easily...when I'm replacing the top cover...

I'm pretty sure that the "film" is vital to the functioning of the unit. It is the material responsible for conducting heat. I don't know if you can repair it yourself though...?

On the topic of extraction, I have found that my Firefly continues to produce vapor beyond what I have come to expect from other portable convection vapes (i.e. the Thermovape T1 or even the Solo). I've been using a fine grind, packing pretty loose loads and shaking between hits. I keep getting...

I do not think the taste of cannabis is an "acquired taste" in the traditional sense. I think it is much more Pavlovian than acquiring a taste for coffee, beer, wine, foods, etc.. When you first consume cannabis you may not consciously take note of the flavor, but you may associate the pleasant...

I read every page of this thread before purchasing. To me this thread had a lot fewer complaints and stories of returns than most new vaporizer threads on this board.

I also wonder why they vary. Some of the variation in vapor production among units is clearly attributable to user perception, since we are all relying on anecdotal information, but some is clearly manufacturing defect. After initially thinking my unit was cool, I now consider it perfect, and...

I use a domed screen on my PNP, but I invert it into the bullet. It does not protrude from the top of the bullet. I haven't noticed any damage to my mouthpiece. I use heat level 2, occasionally 3, and the unit gets quite hot. It produces tons of hot vapor with fresh material on level 2. The...

I have done a complete 180 degree turn on my technique since I first got the FF. I started out with hard fast draws, but have now learned how slower draws can be just as effective at producing vapor. The key for me was not stopping my draw too early. Mine really seems to produce a lot of vapor...

I have tried a coaser grind and I do not find it any better than a fine grind. In fact a finer grind gives me more even browning. I just have to be more careful about draw speed, and I have to expect some additional clean up. But yes, the aluminum grinders basically grab and tear (or cut?)...

Load to just above the rim of the bowl, tamp down lightly. Press button, wait for 3-4 seconds, begin drawing slowly and steadily. First draw - leave the button depressed until it automatically shuts off. Continue drawing slowly and steadily until no more vapor is felt. Subsequent draws - leave...

It sounds like you're doubling up on the button presses. If you find you are reaching combustion temps with that technique you may want to eliminate the double button press. From what I've read, the Firefly starts the heating cycle at a higher temp, then tapers it down after a bit. According to...

I agree. I know what I went through, and it was a matter of mismatched expectations. I loaded material, pressed the button, drew slowly, felt nothing, and stopped. I had no expectation that the bulk of the vapor would come after I let the button go. Once I figured that out I was able to refine...

You're right, the one on the left does not look like the 3.7v HP core that I have (and mine is not stamped "LV" either). Mine does not have the white "collar", and has the dimpled/doughnut shaped bottom end. Also the "D" shaped bottom on the 6V T1 cores indicate an older manufacture date I...

This has always been my experience as well. I feel a little of the vapor when the button is depressed, but it is faint. As soon as I release the button I start feeling the (satisfying) vapor, and it continues for quite some time. It may just be timing etc..., but it sure feels like the real...

I have continued to refine my technique to the point where I no longer feel the need to "pull as hard and fast as I can". I can now pull at a reasonable rate and still get satisfying results. I've had a few charred bits in my ABV, and experienced some "burnt" flavor in my vapor, but I would say...

I do still feel that my unit runs cool. I tried a screen on top, as others have, and I did not get anywhere NEAR combustion. I got plenty of dense vapor (after drawing really hard of course). The ABV was much less evenly browned, with a few dark brown/black spots on the bottom (near the bowl)...

This sounds suspiciously like a 3.7v HP T1 core being run on the LiFePO4 batteries instead of the 17670 battery. I have one and it does exactly what you are describing if I run it on the LiFePO4 batteries. It takes 6-7 seconds to get to combustion temperatures. I estimate that I get combustion...

Well I forced myself to go into "semi-survival" mode with the FF, meaning that whenever I have a choice I must always choose the FF and make it work for me. I can't tell you how on-target you are with your "faster draw than normal for a small portable vape" comment. I have never used anything...
