I've flown with a Pax2, a Crafty, and a Herc/Persei. No issues.

Vapman is a great choice if you don't mind using a torch.Very compact, not terribly expensive, and once you get the hang of it, it can knock your socks off. You can even get "tattooed" versions. You don't need the mica version.

MFLB is conduction. Nice starter but not in the league of a convection, in my opinion. The effects aren't as strong and the flavor goes downhill quickly. Firewood and ESV are convection (Milaana? Venus Apollo?). Crafty/Mighty and Boundless CF/CFX seem to be popular hybrids. Of course, there are...

Thanks to everyone for the comments regarding the cradle vs. the external charger. You have cured my VAS for the moment; I will be interested again when I can buy a device with an external charger rather than the included cradle.

Ok, as previous posts have shown, I resurrected this vape from purgatory to provide a prodigal son opportunity. Overall, my opinion has improved considerably. Having said that, I'm finding that I agree with @M0J0. I have done 30-40 sessions through this vape. A session consists of 5-6 draws at...

Is the Herc one you've tried? I love the Herc and I'm trying desperately to avoid VAS on the FF2.

Hey, you don't need to wait for a new lid to confirm this. If you have a significant other, just ask them...

Personally, I would think the Pax2 would be the wrong choice. For that kind of usage, something on demand would be better: ESV Vapman Firewood 3 Firefly 2 Grasshopper (ha!)

I hear you but the Hercules could knock your socks off.

Bit of wax with a blanket of flower. Wow. Super wow. It was pretty impressive but was likely augmented by a wee bit of bourbon. Huh? What are you looking at?

Thanks to the most recent posters! You are totally cock-blocking my VAS for the FF2! My hand was twitching as I avoided my wallet. Now, I'm good. We'll wait and see how this sorts out with the magnets/gaskets.

Trip Report: OK, as I said, I tried a loose pack to the lip of the bowl. The grind was probably medium-ish. Draw was slow as compared to a draw on the Crafty or FW3. Two draws at temp 1. Two draws at temp 2. Five draws at temp 3. Six draws at temp 4. Taste wasn't bad (no plastic taste) but it...

Top screen cleaned and loose load in place, filled to the lip. The grind is probably somewhere between medium and high. I'll try slow draws. Wish me luck.

OK, folks, I've finally swapped the Pax2 for the Prima with my friend. Thanks to a very concise post on the Pax2 thread, we were able to get results. Now that I have the Prima back, it's time to give it another shot. Can someone provide their success tips? I've seen @Vitolo recommend a loose...

Look for posts by @M0J0 He might also have info at his website: http://infinityvm.com

There is no way they were building those boards manually. My point is that they were paying someone else to stuff the boards before and whoever that was, was also using a pick n place. To me that means little if any improvement in board reliability, unless that supplier was just shit.

It does seem like they're getting their shit together but I'm not sure a chip shooter is the best indicator. Was there any indication that the PCB's were a reliability issue (I can't remember). I thought this was more to deal with potential supply issues. To me, this is a bit of a red herring...

I just plop it on, close it up and go (no preheat.) Hit it, git it and get on with it! Be careful with concentrates. It doesn't take much to have a god awful mess. You'll probably have to apply heat to get the stem off and you'll get more hits than you expect.

That approach has worked for me and I have a Crafty that has been in operation since Nov/Dec 2014. I also never charge it while the battery is warm. You can also pop the CU, dump the load and let it sit for a minute or two with the CU off to cool. "So, we have all these possibilities before we...

FWIW, my basic approach with flower and flame: Always apply the darker blue flame tip to the crucible (just had to revive that word before it disappears from the lexicon) 1. Apply heat for 4 seconds. 2. Pause 1-2 seconds. 3. Apply heat for 4 seconds. 4. Inhale through the mouthpiece for 10...
