Put a screen inside the WPA. When it gets gooey. Vape the screen. Doc
After using the CFV for awhile, I finally got my glass bong back and decided to try it with the CFX for the first time. Wow are the two made for each other! The part that makes it especially nice is using it in combination with the ELB mod.
What you do is unscrew the bottom filter off the WPA and instead use an ELB with a top hat on it in the CF/X chamber. Screw the WPA into place and go. The top hat gives better airflow, and more importantly, doesn't gum up or get clogged like the normal filter. When your load is cached, you can just swap pre-filled ELBs in and keep going. It's a great capsule system.
Are you saying you don't like the CFV with the WPA?
I prefer the CFX with the WPA simply because the bowl size is much larger. With the CFV it's easy to finish the bowl in a half dozen or so good rips. The CFX lasts over twice as long between refills (which are a snap with the ELBs anyway).
I prefer the CFV for when i'm using it as-is though, it has great flavor through the mouthpiece.
I have a CFV and friend has CFX, how much are you packing in CFV and CFX for WPA? Do you start at 380*F ?
I use the WPA on the CFV with the WPA screen removed and a ELB tophat instead, makes it a much better experience. I'm also using a finer 10 mm SS screen in conjunction with the original mouthpiece screen to eliminate clogging there too.The CFV I fill the chamber up to the top of the wooden chamber ring. I haven't tried it with the quartz glass ring yet. I screw on the WPA and go. The problem is the WPA clogs a bit due to the material being sucked into the screen.
On the CFX I use the ELB mod - EZ Load Baskets - which come with a bucket screen lid. I put that on top of the ELB and then unscrew the filter from the WPA, and then lock the WPA onto the CFX and go. I fill the ELB 3/4's up.
I start both around 380F. The CFV I tend to finish within the 4 minute cycle. The CFX I tend to stop after the first session and raise the temp to 415 or so on the second session to finish off the basket-load.

This kind of remark makes me think we are not made from the same fiber... No way I could finish anything I put in within a single cycle. No matter how hard I try.
Who here has deconstructed a CFX? My friends unit wont hold a charge and Boundless is sending me a replacement unit and I love taking electronics apart so any pointers?
Check out puffitup.com (a sponsor of FC) IIRC he tore a CFX down.

Great question, would love someone to do a proper test and then with the ELB method to see how more efficient it is.
So if I switch the stock batteries with 2 Arizer air batteries should be good to go?
Nope, the Air batteries are super weak. You need high discharge cells, this vape outputs around 80W if I'm correct.
Judging from the teardown above, I would go for LG HE2 or HE4 or HG2, Samsung 25R or 30Q, Sony VTC5 or VTC6.
Anyone have tips for cleaning the mouthpiece? I know iso will mess it up but can I do a 20sec soak because I have dust and hair in the pathway?
It's the CFV mouthpiece you dont want to ISO, because of the paint finish.
