    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    I carry a subscription card from a magazine, folded in half. Duck into the bathroom/stall for a moment, dump material on to it, reload. If outside, nobody even looks at me. A slight pain, but worth it to maximize the herb. When done right, rivals my Mighty in terms of efficiency. As for...

    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    With me, this is my regiment. 1. Start with two tokes on Low 2. Move to Med for 4 or so tokes 3. Dump material out, to stir, re-load 4. Take a couple of more on Med 5. Move to High setting, take a couple more 6. Dump and reload, always get at least two more on high. Grinding fine, and stirring...

    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    My Alfa always produce ABV that is very dark/black. Their high setting temp is 230c / 446f, which is pretty up there. Try a very fine grind. You need to get the most surface area available, to get the most out of your product.

    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    I am always kind of surprised when people say they are having a hard time getting good results. I have found that the Alfa (or at least my unit) works great whether I put in a little, or pack it down, as long as the material is well ground. Next to my Mighty, it is the easiest Vape to use...

    Great, just what I need, a new obsession. I love the FF, but feel that the chamber could work better at holding the material in place. If I inhale too deeply, the stuff can just fly around, get stuck to the top of the lid and not get heated. I use a screen as I get to the end of the bowl to fix...

    Do we know if they are updating the FF? The "change" reference could also refer to the changing of the lids, like swapping in another color, they have promoted that om their social media as well.

    I sometimes use a screen, to keep the bits out, but am wondering if the Concentrate pads (http://www.thefirefly.com/firefly-concentrate-pads.html) are better to use for this? I use one in my Mighty, when using small amounts, to compress the amount. Wondering if this works better, if anyone has...

    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    Just FYI, I have been doing the screen hack since I got it (initially it came with the scree in the MP). I went to the site to purchase the new screens, but didn't want to pay $20 delivery for a $5 screen package. When I asked if they had a cheaper shipping alternative, they told me "no", then...

    I put a screen on top to keep out the tiny bits. I know it kind of defeats the purpose (slightly diminishes the taste) but it does help keep it clean, and bits out of your mouth. I don't use it at first, but towards the end of the bowl. Also, I have found, to the get the best heat, is to pulse...

    So glad to hear this. I have had my Alfa since November and LOVE it. I have found their customer service to be great, they even sent me the new screens at no charge. Hope you get to enjoy it.

    They sent me two new ones for the two that stopped working, no questions asked.

    Always torn between the dense pack for clouds and looser pack for the even burn.

    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    I have to say, even on Low setting, I get at least 3 good hits. The temps are kind of high for the labeled settings, Low: 190/374 F Mid: 210/410 F High: 225/437 F The above temps are from the PDF manual, but online, they are listed as the below, with the top at 446f: O 190c / 374f, MID 210c...

    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    If you are not impressed, or getting good hits, then something is wrong with the unit. I have had mine since November and in continues to amaze me. Just curious, just make sure that the pathway is clear. When I got mine, it still had the screen in the MP. After a couple of uses I wasn't...

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    When combined with the loader (was skeptical about it at first, love it now) loading is easy with one hand. Lately I have been using the liquid pad with about 1/3 or 1/2 of the bowl filled. It keeps the cooling chamber extra clean (used to clean every 3 or 4 days, now just once a week), and...

    I contacted them after two months, after I had bought two that went down, and they still sent me two new ones.

    I just punch mine out when I run a pipe cleaner through it.

    They seem like different names aimed at male (Dragonfly), and female (Butterfly) markets?

    I actually like the "heft" of it, feels solid in my hand. If you are 90%, I would do it. The screen thing is just a preference, and does not need to be used. Also, with how great the FF is, I would think it would be a year or more for a FF 2.0.

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    I think the Mighty uses a combination of Conduction and Convention, something I have read here. I don't want to diss the Mighty, I have it, and have been knocked out by its performance. Was just giving my two cents in comparing the two experiences. One more thing about the FF, you will need to...
