    Going back to smoking...So different...

    The way I look at it, it's all about distilling the compounds from the plant. With vaping we have control of the temperature and can select what fraction we want. Here are the vaporizing (boiling) temps for the main ones. The Cs are cannabinoids, the Ts aromatic Terpenes, the Fs are aromatic...

    The FireFly is an alien intelligence! That's why it takes a little time to make friends with it.

    As far as 45 vs 30 seconds go, look at the photos on page 81. There's a many-legged chip on the board. It's a microprocessor/controller. Its firmware determines most behavior of the FireFly, like its "shutoff if button infinitely pressed" timeout. It's a safety thing, what if you had the button...

    So @Fozzie Bear, do you vape the same load several times during the day? On my FireFly I load tiny amounts, a tiny pinch of shredded bud, and start over each time. That way I can get the exact fractions I want. I llike the lowest temp ones best during the day, the higher temp ones make me too...

    @2clicker The resistance is a function of the material and its length. Different materials have different conductances. And a fatter wire has more conductance, i.e. less resistance per unit length. Given a nichrome wire so thick, it comes down to length. The windings counts are just a way to...

    @natural farmer, yes, start very slow, build up speed as the unit heats up. I used to pack it more, then found that just crushing and breaking up some bud in there, like under 0.1 g, lets it swirl around and doesn't require turning, since it's moving anyway. I do need to load it more often, but...

    Just leave a little sticky powder residue under the glass port, and you never need worry about pulling in particles. Don't pack it, a pinch goes a long way and it swirls best in the hot air. And just invert, tap and shake it between tokes, no need to open and stir. So, yes @natural farmer, a...

    Xcuse me, this seems like a group here with a bit more sense than the Nail and Budweiser crowd. Can someone tell me what happens on a titanium "nail"? What temp is the usual "red hot and let it rest a few seconds" nail? I saw one guy swear it was around 100 degrees (F). Obviously it's a bit...

    It seems they changed the max time on one button press in the firmware. I wouldn't worry about it, it's just a safety cutoff. I'm the one who started with the coil moving, because to an engineer it seemed like the most logical cause of the temp variations. In truth when you adjust it it's a...

    Arizer Solo

    Yes, it seems that the Solo is the most universal portable. The Firefly is a specialty vape that uses the whole smarts of the PIC micro controller to focus on vapor taste and below 400 deg F fractions while making it pretty intuitive. In fact overthinking it just gets in the way. Both THC and...

    2 bowls is usually plenty and the batt charges in 45 min. I carry one extra battery, they are small. Oh yes the flavor is unusually great. lll compare to the Solo soon as it gets here, But FireFly is a very specific new thing, engineered for great taste. I'm looking forward to my Solo, but dig...

    Arizer Solo

    Oh wow, thanks! so that's 12.7 mm maybe 13 mm in The Chamber. The Firefly has a 12.5 to 15.5 mm tapered bowl. I'm a musin' that a Solo Gong might fit in the FF. If you could find 'em. Is that stem broken or does it break down into 2 pieces on porpoise? My vape lab now needs additions: for...

    That's normal. The charger sees that the battery reads less than 4.22 volts, it always drops a bit off the charger, so it always tries again. The battery briefly hits say 4.23 v and that's "charged". Disconnect for 5 milliseconds and it starts charging again. I like the way the LED signals how...

    @EveryDayAmnesiac Amnesiac I can't remember a worthier tip! Of COURSE. Just vape that last bowl to the metal, get all the last fraction catatonic terpenes and go sleep! Good one.

    Ohno! Farmer uttered the feared words. So the Solo wastes weed?!? why that's Serious! And my unit hasn't shipped. I could still cancel my $140 Solo out of Texas, maybe order from Puff instead?

    guys, guys! We need more metrics! So the 1/2" ID tubing fits INTO à female 14? I had visions of stretching it OVER a male 14 ! Needless to say I wasn't getting far fitting it ONTO my male 18mm header. So we have to find some glass. The head shops around here kill you on that crap. I have to...

    CAN I ask a question, Please? What is the diameter of the Solo mouthpiece tube at the mouth end? At the heater end (what diameter fits into the heater)? Thanks! @GetToTheChoppa re: choice: I have a FireFly and a MFLB. I've ordered a Solo. Why? The MFLB is a very compact and versatile manual...

    FWIW, the right tubing to fit the FireFly is 1/2" ID tubing. It fits in the mouthbeak very well. Now the problem is the other end. Too tight to fit over an 18" male. Maybe a 14mm? I don't have any 14mm glass to try (yet). An adapter is around $10. The shortage of glass behind the lack of Solo...

    Holy moly. I pulled one drag off a little transverse coil in a tiny porcelain cup atop an eGo battery, with the coil smeared with Sour Diesel concentrate. This is a generic little black head for an eGo with the white ceramic cup just there. I think VAPED sells them. Yeah, those little pen...

    Moi j'aime bien le FireFly. Goût SUBLIME. C'est pas pour les amateurs du brûlé. C'est un des rares appareils portables à convection. L'air chauffe graduellement et les premieres bouffees sont legeres, presque invisibles, mais chargées de THC et de CBD. Quant au Pax il y en a plein de faux...
