Hey guys, long time lurker of this thread, the crafty thread, the indica, and even the air. Having been a previous owner of the solo, i wanted something that would give me solid quality vapor while being extremely discreet. The alfa was the victor among my selection, ordered it last thursday directly from the goboof website. One thing i noticed is that the high temp is actually 428 degrees Fahrenheit (220 C). It arrived monday surprisingly (I live in new england, US). All i have to say is wow. I can get 2 seshes out on medium, and one on high off a full pack (broken up with hands, not heavilly pat down in the chamber, but a full firm pack). The effeciency is better than the solo imo, vapor is a notch below the solo as far as strength, but thats simply becsuse i take short stong hits off it (4-6 secs). Air flow is phenominal, far exceeding the solo for that, and the vapor is smoother too. Unit gets VERY warm, especially on high, but its never overbearing. Its very light, pocketable even in basketball shorts, and could definitely survive a fall due to its anodized exterior. I dont bother with the AT or AP modes, im too picky to wait or be rushed to increase the temperature. One pack could be good for three people, four would need a repack probably unless they have low tolerances. Totally satisfied with this purchase. If i end up getting an apartment any time soon, this'll be my on the go and an herbalizer will sit next to my bed, with a mighty for walking around the place as a cordless. If this thing dies i will definitely send it straight back for another one, its a quality product thats changed how true vaporization can become so.... convenient. The 40-50ish second heat up time only adds to this. There are very few cons i can find:
1- the mouthpiece is a little small, so one may burn their lips if they arent open enough. Also it is feels like the MP is made of some type of rubber (please correct me if im wrong) so it is prone to having foreign materials stick to it, making it appear dirty.
2: this thing takes a little bit to cool down, like i said it gets very warm (would be an amazing handwarmer for the winter ). I try to expedite that process by taking long solo draws off it after shutdown. This seems to help cool the unit faster. Thank you Goboof for a super amazing product ❤
