Ya the Firefox is a great little single flame with enough power to fully ride the line and also has a nice sized tank

I got one today. I like it. There is lots of adjustment in flame size. It’s a nice size but the ergonomics are taking a bit of getting used to.
Talking about flames. Im liking my heat ups using the tip of the visible flame not the hottest inner part of the flame. I heat at the second copper ring just above the thermal battery. If anyone is having trouble with two much of a roast try backing the torch away and using a cooler less aggressive part of the flame.

I wondered the same. Also, the blazer PT4000 Pencil Torch is rated for the same temps. Would it be subpar, toor?

i think they will work just time till click may be longer.

I have a Big Buddy, but that thing's like a rocket engine. I can hear it now... Support: 'You liquefied your Anvil how?!'

I prob refuel every day, like @RedZep said the fuel tank is small. I'll prob get ten chambers, not counting re-heats and throwing more heat into the anvil when the vapor is whispy. Ten full-sized chambers with the flame length somewhere in the middle. 1/4-1/2" or 5-7mm Dark blue outer flame. Before I get in contact with xikar, I want to clean the jets with some iso and bleed and fill the lighter properly. They say you fill the turismo with the lid and jets facing up.
edit: If you aim the dual flame at the top copper ring or just above it, terps and flavors for days! If you throw a little more heat at it (same spot) before the cooldown click, more goodness.

That's a great idea to loan it to friends. Think I will do the same. I will always make sure to get it back though
Ok so I had an experience tonight that put me in mind of your question.
Previously I was always chaining the full sized chamber back to back (after cooling chamber until cool down click) and I had no issues. Always replicated hit after hit (well 3 hits then tapped out
)So tonight I hit a full, then hot swapped into the half chamber and heated at same spot, and I got too close to combustion (some charring).
I have a suspicion that the chamber sizes heat differently, and this effect is perhaps more pronounced when the thermal battery is at heat capacity.
So I did it again. Started with full, then swapped to half. This time I heated it higher up than my typical spot by half a cm or so, and the result was perfect.
Obviously others can test theirs to see if this holds up.
Yes that Blazer is good too, especially for travel as its smaller.
I think that PT4000 will work, i like the pencil torch style as its a more precise jet and im sure it has plenty of power. I was actually considering getting one of those before and still am for travel purposes
I have been testing with the bigger torches, i heated with a smaller flame in the middle and got it to click in about 20 sec. Just be Careful hahahahahah

I have noticed that the half bowl chamber does vape more thoroughly, I always assumed it was due to less material but im not 100%.
I would probable start off with the half chamber then maybe try the full, i may try it later tonight

For sure. Will have to wait and see which one I end up using as my daily driver. Other then friends that like the session vapes most had kinda given up on vapes after a few sub par choices. I know a ton of dabbers that could possibly be persuaded back to flower by these. And a few bong people that may consider vaping again after this.That's a great idea to loan it to friends. Think I will do the same. I will always make sure to get it back though
I know there was a mention about the secondary cap on the tubes and John had mentioned that next gen of tubes will have double screw caps.
I know John also mentioned a condenser upgrade/change and wonder if it was going to be a slightly larger diameter to make qtip cleaning a option?

+1. Everyday there are threads with people looking for devices that will replicate, in some fashion, bong hits. I feel there are plenty of options, but this may convert those who haven't found a vape yet that will take them there. On the other hand, we may just lose them for good...out there...somewhere...
This thing needs a safety harness or tracking device or something.
"Jesus look at him there. He must be absolutely Anviled"
I think it's not a case of vaping more thoroughly. I think it's a case of the half chamber needing less heat to get to the sweet spot. Aiming the torch slightly higher up so to speak.
Again, others need to test also. It's just my current thoughts on what I've experimented with. I have only tested this during hot swapping, whilst the thermal battery is at full heat capacity.
Bravo. Looking forward to more people joining the party.All I know that I have my waiting list order # and waiting for invoice..

Will it work if heat the thermal battery on a stove and then drop it on ?
Why not even use soldering pot with adjustable temp ?
Oh nevermind i am too high.. . IT would probably transfer too much heat to the body...

Hey everyone I asked a similar question b4 but didn't really get the answer I was looking for.
When I watched @Whiff video I heard him say he heats the anvil until it clicks then fills his chamber and torches it again.
Now everytime I try to chain a hit my second bowl i heat again about half way through my inhale I combust. My second heat on a new bowl is on the battery my inhalation speed is relatively fast open airflow if that helps.
Can anyone help or I can't back to back it. It wouldn't be the end of the world it just sometimes you just wanna another one.

It does when i take it off to empty the abv it clicks I fill it put it on again amd heat on the battery until it clicks again. About half way thru my hit it combust
