    The thermal mass in the body of the firefly was put there so that the unit would not get too hot and be uncomfortable to hold. If the hot coil was embedded in the thermal mass it would make a big difference. But the coil is free floating and allows the air going past it to heat quickly. Some of...

    I agree. I think what makes people feel this is the case is that until the chrome airway plate warms up it cools the vapor to the point that you dont sense it as much. Less taste, less visible exhalation vapor. When the chrome airway plate and lid warm to a certain temperature the taste of the...

    Go to the firefly website and enter chat. They have always been great on customer service. Sarah C is gone but I am sure they will take care of you!

    I have also been able to produce combustion if I try to do it. Not pleasant haha. My girlfriend sometimes still combusts but I think she may be hitting the button twice. For me the times I have combusted I was pulling too slow on a heavily packed bowl. I am happy to have a "hot" unit. I just...

    The Dude wouldn't buy a firefly but he would definitely use one. Especially if it came in "White Russian." "Normally I would just roll one but this firefly really ties the room together" The Dude abides...

    Definitely a one push and hold for me. I have lowered the hold time to about 4-5 seconds and then draw for 5-7 more. On the baskets making things taste funny/possible conduction: Some of this will take place because of the sides of the basket in my opinion. more metal in contact with the herb...

    Yes! Seeing "Space Coffin" made my day. I love my space coffin! And Space capsule is a great term for the screen packets. I am going to order one just to try that. Although I find hand grind is quick and easy there are those "stealth" minded times where that would be really great. Was thinking...

    May experiment with coil tightness. Used wire at end to secure coil to itself by folding around a coil. (can see at 5 o' clock position)

    Here is the current one. Really liking so far. Can do nice hand grind and it doesn't move or restrict airflow. As long as it isn't full enough to compress then no charring.

    Ok so I am not into posting pictures yet but try this. I took a piece of nichrome wire and made a spiral with it. This seemed to keep the green down but allow enough air to pass through easily. I have now improved on this design by wrapping the wire around a skewer to make a spring. I remove...

    Debris can come from too fine a grind as well. The hand grind direct to the bowl has worked well for me. Also, periodic cleaning of the bowl channels on the lid and the base steel plate has worked. Thirdly I exert a lil pressure on the lid to make sure it is snug against the base. Otherwise...

    Mine is at home and I will check later but I know I can see light coming from all the holes not just one when I press the button. Do all your holes light up? If all of them are blocked and do not light up I would go on Firefly live chat and they will definitely help you out.

    @EveryDayAmnesiac yeah I totally understand and agree. The maintenance is NOT necessary to get good usage. I think I just love this thing so much I just like fooling with it and getting the best possible every time. But yes dont let it scare away the people that are less likely to clean things...

    Ok so I mentioned that I had a vapir one before this and my GF hated it (sound and clunkiness,cord). She has also tried the volcano and hated it (big bag, breathing in same bag as others). Vapor genie, hated it (too much work to get right). She prefers to combust through water. When I got the...

    @dirty_honest it seems you must have sorted out the "taste " problem you were having? What made the difference?
