I think the silicone does tend to smell, but there is a definite strong smell from the heater. I did a number of heat cycles the mouthpiece off, and it generated pretty intense hot-electronics smells from the body only. I ran it standing upright in the hope convection would allow it to vent...

Being happy with the Roffu I picked up the Avant on a whim with a 4/20 discount for fun. Generally I'm very happy so far. I want something cheap and cheerful that fits in my pocket better than the Roffu, and this fits the bill. It's very small and neat. I thought being an old vape I'd have to...

I'm a low-doser, and sometimes put a few crumbs in a capsule and roast it hard at max temperature for a 3 min session and have been amazed at how much I got out of it - sometimes more than I wanted. I reduced and reduced the amount but continued to be amazed the level of effect I was getting to...

Oops - typo. 210C / 410F - I mistyped

I've found it gets that way, then I clean the sleeve inside with soap and water and it's grippy again. I think lint and dust from pockets gets in there and makes it slip off.

It's not an either-or, you can allow precise adjustment of the presets. But the precision is of limited import as it's obvious using the unit the setting only roughly corresponds to how much the herb is toasted. This is no doubt largely due to the heat capacity of the whole system needing to...

It's just needlessly awkward and complex. Five clicks all the time just to turn it on and off, temperature changes by the single degree is way too fussy when 3 or 5 presets would be plenty (esp with settings to adjust what they are). And why the hell does it buzz intrusively to tell you it...

My impression is the same as yours - it's a half-baked and worthless. Actually kind of worse than useless because sometimes you summon it by accident. The user interface is a bit ridiculous on this thing, though thankfully the device works well in spite of that. The most frustrating thing is...

Yeah, I have a very low tolerance and I'm effectively working with a lot of conduction and it's working well for me. I recently changed my usage for the better: I used fill a capsule and over time take 4-5 sessions out of it over an evening (or beyond), at steadily increasing temperature to...

I'll chime in late with a post-honeymoon report. I'm a critical bugger but I still like it a lot and recommend it. How effective it is is very personal since people dose at such different levels. I have low tolerance so it has lots of headroom for me. The wife and I share one lightly filled...

I'd be interested to hear if you think the unwelcome smells are lower level, as per our earlier discussion I feel like my new one's silicone is quite low on odor, and I think I'm fairly sensitive to these things, and more came from the heater. Mine's not quite neutral yet though (only 4...

Hmmm, I hadn't noticed the silicone smelling but I can just about detect an odor if I take it out and sniff it directly (I usually think I'm pretty sensitive to these things - my wife thinks I make it up). I feel like most of what I got was directly was from burning off the heater. I've seen...

As an on-demand, modest-dose, convection enjoyer, I found this thread and ordered from XVape about midday Wednesday ("jingle" coupon worked!), USPS received it by 5:30pm and it arrived Friday mid afternoon to the opposite side of the US. Prompt shipping from XVape, and good work by USPS. Happy...

Excellent tip, thank you. With my FW5 I had been making good use of a stirrer made out of cork and paper clip (https://fuckcombustion.com/threads/firewood-vaporizer.9306/page-205#post-1425162), but these baskets make for much less uneven roasting by keeping the load away from the heat-sink that...

Oh, thanks! Sorry I didn't realize an imgur link wasn't the right way to go. The FW6 does look a lot better, and looks to me plenty good enough to be happy with; perfection is not required. My bar was set by the Grasshopper - that for all its significant other flaws showed that totally even...

I thought I'd share my FW5 stirrer, stirring being a necessity and minor PITA for the FW5. It lets you stir while containing the weed in the chamber, made from a bent bit of paper clip and a wine cork. I scrape around the edge with the cork keeping the contents covered. The cork could be...

I expect so - not least because to get an actual temp sensor you'd need a much more bulky and complex heat/chamber assembly. But I think, given the additional data of how much power it takes to achieve a given temp, you could get an approximation to chamber air temp and have the control loop...

For FW6 I would want fixes for where the FW5 disappoints: Temperature control that is not dependent on draw speed. Even extraction, no stirring every draw I would drop the 5 chamber idea in favor of separate pods (in a convenient holder). I picked up a Fury 2 with dosing caps, and they're...

I am being picky here, since for me and my use the Grasshopper sets a very high bar in actual vaporizing. It also has real drawbacks - apparently durability (though I got 2 years), hot vapor, rapidly heating mouthpiece, not very social. (Oh, and when I talked of overshooting, I meant getting a...

Hi All, After becoming addicted to on-demand convection with a couple of years with a GrassHopper, when it crapped out I moved to a FW5. I use them directly (no glass), and perhaps my expectations were high but I am sorry to say I'm disappointed. The vapor is nice and cool, the unit is much...
