Just saw it. He needs to compare it to a soloThe Vape Critic has posted his Alfa review:

It made his list of top portables!
Big thanks to everyone on FC. I ordered the Alfa after reading so many good things here (took advantage of 4/20 vapeworld sale for $151). It's out for delivery now and I can't wait to try it out. I've been drying out extra materials in anticipation!
My daily driver is the Pax which is in need of some warranty service, and I hope the Alfa will be a great replacement/addition. I'll report back later this week after I've had to time to use my new Alfa.
Cheers!
Imo no the Solo is a much better machine than the Alfa and so is the new Arizer Air which is a smaller sleeker solo with upgrades and a user replaceable battery. Alfa is new to the market. I have seen many complaints about it and many that like it. Warranty is a hassle for the alfa as the company is based in Ireland and in my experience takes pretty long to answer emails. I have all three , i like them all. I feel when the Alfa is working properly it works well. Its a bit of a material hog compared to the solo and air. It takes almost double the material/flowers that the solo and air take and a session lasts the same for me. Now i do really like the size of the alfa and when packing it to the fullest i feel it hits very well but i wouldn't trade it for my air or solo. Taste i have to give to the air and solo as they have a nice glass air path and i feel flavor id more pronounced and lasts longer. My buddy has a Haze , i have not tried it but he only says great things about it. Maybe he will see this and chime in his thoughts on what he feels about the haze vs alfa as he has owned both.So is the alfa goboof better than a airzer solo or a haze

What bottle cap screen method?Wondering if anyone has tried bottle cap screen method in the chamber to cutt down on size.

Chatted with Goboof the other day. Apparently there are no changes to the recent shipments other than the updated cable with USB, which is now available separately from Goboof for ten bucks.
My new alfa arrives today!!
I think it's important to make it clear in the thread that "older problem filled alfas" is a complete misconception, and has been blown out of proportion. SOME of the first batch had software issues that caused faulty units. Goboof was quick to patch every single alfa they could get their hands on, especially at their major distributors. The hardware was and is fine. Seriously, I've had an alfa since December, and have been watching this thread since around August. It's all good.
When google or apple drop a new product, and lots of firmware issues pop up, people don't jump ship and lose all faith in the product, they just wait for the patch. Poor design is one thing, but out of the gate small reversible issues are to be expected of most products. Even the solo has glaring batch issues occasionally.
I know you were disappointed not to get that charger, sternfan29, but you got an incredible price on a new alfa that is no different from my new alfa, and you'd pay more in shipping to send it back than it would cost to just get that cable from amazon or goboof.
You are going to love your alfa, and I'm eager to see how you think it compares to your beloved pax.
Thanks, @maremaresing for providing some much needed perspective and context. I'm charging my Alfa now (brought it to work with me to return, but forgot outside shipping box). Maybe God is telling me to keep it. She knows how much I love vaping. ;-)
I was just thinking the same thing. I was charging at work till 5:30 (started around 2). Went out had a few. Came home plugged in at 7 (now 8:41) and still not ready. And I left the damn screens at work. FML. Can it be used without the screens? I'll search the forums.God damned you folks weren't kidding this thing takes a long time to charge. I plugged it in at the office at 12:30 pm, it's now 5:30 pm and the red light is still on.my colleagues are at the pub and I'm waiting for the charge to finish! Ha ha,better be a good n long lasting battery!!
Thanks guys for all the help! Just got an amazing deal for the alfa that I couldn't pass up and pulled the trigger.
Yes it was from vapeworld, but I had a one time use discount code that I won from a contest. I was able to get the alfa, and a ton of accessories such as a whip/bong attachment/space case all for free with it. So for $150 I got about $200 bucks worth of extra free stuff and the alfa. A deal I just couldn't pass up.Was it from vapeworld. If not was it less than 150 where you got it from
