But I feel for you.....I went through the same thing with the Mi3 and Alpine. I am pretty much done pre-ordering for a while.
So I'm not the only one. I pre-ordered orderred the Legacy, Alpine and Mi3 as well. The Alpine is POS but it does work... just that there's no removable battery. The Mi3 is sort of meh for me. Had fun for a while but the variable performance as the battery wears down (just like any unregulated device, is kind of a bummer(but I love my Splinters) and finally there's the Legacy. This one is the winner of the pre-orders. I'll be keeping this for a quite a while
Ive found a screen makes Lots of difference in the performance. No charing whatsoever. The following statement I found as funny in that its been over 2 years since having to worry about Running Out, being able to grow my own ! "I guess I could risk one more bowl worth of cannabis with a screen on the bottom." "Risking a Bowl" being the funny part ! Definitely thankful for Oklahomas Medical Marijuana program allowing me to grow up to 6 plants !! I still have jarred buds from over a year ago and am one week away from harvesting my tent grow and 7+ weeks from my closet grow. Currently have jarred, "Jack Herer, Blueberry Kush, Cherry Pie, Tangcicle, Skywalker Kush, Cheese, OG#4 and currently growing Sugar Rush & White Hot Guava ! My daughter called me a "Pot Hoarder", No, I just like Variety ! Except for the Jack Herer(last crop), theres only about 1/4-1/2 ounce of each left for Taste/Effect Variety ! SR & WHG yet to be harvested from this grow !
I can't grow my own but I hear you. My drawer is stocked with Wookie Girl, Gorilla Grapes, Dutch Hawaiin, Lemon OG, Colombian Gold, Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Sunshine Daydream and a bunch of local hybrids: Florida Keys, Islamorada, Big Love, South Beach Sorbet and Bittersweetz. I only brought an 1/8 of each but there's no way I can get through them all and I can't legally give them away (stupid Florida medical law "Damn you Rick Scott!").
Unfortuantely for us here in Florida, homegrow won't come anytime soon...not trying to get political but the Republicans in the House even passed a 10% thc limit on flower (while still encouraging dispensaries to sell 80-90% distillate). Fortunately the Senate Republicans, and the Republican Governor had to smack them down. But those idiots tried it 2 years in a row... But right now there is 0 interest in homegrow, since they've created a cartel of 15 vertically integrated grower/dealers. Even if the Dems take the governorship next time, the leading candidate for the Dems is married to a founder of one of the cartels, so homegrow is probably a lost cause
Btw all I can say about the charring is TURN THE DAMN HEAT DOWN. Just because another vape you might have works best at 380º, doesn't mean you have to run the Legacy that high. I've had mine set at 285º the last 2 nights. I like to take long slow draws... the Firefly conditioned me for that. The Legacy excels at these low temps... well at least where I live at sea level with 55-60% humidity in the house. Also dont' be afraid to stir. Once again the firefly conditioned me to stir at least every 2 bowls, but so does my Splinter. If I'm cranking my Legacy up to 375, I'll probably stir after every bowl ... but basically the bud if is fully cooked after three long hits
