Agreed. I stopped using the chamber screen as intended and instead use it on top of my material. It pushes the material down just enough to keep it in when i dump it over to retrieve the screen first. It also seems to provide a more even vape.So other than the mods, there are 2 'minor' annoyances that I had to patch with this device, however they're rather simple to fix. First is the door rattle, it can be fixed by placing a piece of tape or paper inside the door as mentioned here before. The other thing is the chamber screen coming out, which can be fixed by using reclaim(honey) as glue and yes it actually works and holds - this thing is sticky as hell

Oh i'd use it on the bottom if it actually did anything. So far, I have noticed no difference so I'd figure i'd let you know about a way to use them that's actually useful. it sits on top of the herb in the chamber and then is pushed town into the chamber. It is indeed making contact with the chamber. This way seemed like it may be a good way to use it if you're worried about losing your screens.
The difference between sessions was having light green still visible on the outside edges after a session compared to with the screen where I get an even dark brown all around. I'll try and get some more pics up if that'll help.
The purpose is to have a better vaping experience and not worry about losing the extra items in the chamber. I havent tried any of this with the normal MP's but it works great with the WPA. I havent had any issues with my wpa slipping out so I dont really see the need to mod that part on my end.
I’ve done over 10 heat cycles with no end in sight.
Are you kidding me??? That thing looks like it needs a good cleaneing. I quarantee you got reclaim in the the heater. I have to clean mine every few days to keep THAT from happening. Look at the video at 0:35. That thing looks pretty cruddy! I use the ELB's and after a couple days you can see honey on the bottom screen. If you leave it there WHERE do you think its going? Heat, gravity and lack of cleaning looks like the culprit IMO.They need to do a much better job with their Quality Control. I was honestly shocked that the CF or CFX did not gain this kind of traction when these units off-gas and the plastics cracking like crazy after using it for a bit. I'm pretty experienced with the CF/CFX since so many of my friends have it and the main issue is always cracking plastic and it stops working after a while. I'm starting to suspect the material they use it with whether it's the plastic casing or something else is not supposed to be heated to that level and when it is, it will start off-gassing, crack, and eventually break. Then again, the average consumer does not look at these things and if it produces vapor/smoke, they are okay with it. This industry needs to be more carefully regulated and it's a very gray area. It should honestly be illegal to sell vapes that causes any kind of risk to our health. That's why folks... you should always do your research, trust brands that have been in the industry for a while and understand the logic behind the inner workings of these vaporizers.
P.S. Materials used in these Chinese manufactured vapes (SMISS) are extremely similar to the materials used in replica vapes. It's unreal when you actually buy a replica vape from DHGate to compare and it's like the same.
EDIT:
Here's a video I just took of my CFX off-gassing. I've had it for I think two years now and haven't really used it due to this issue.
I blew through the bottom air hole on mine when running it in concentrate mode for my burnoffs, never got anything visible out of it and it works fine. I checked after my first few bowls to see if it'd started offgassing when the bowl is empty, and saw nothing, was using the chamber screen in the bottom. Eventually when emptying it the screen only partly came out and some avp spilled into the unscreened bottom, and turning it on with the chamber empty made a little visible vapor. I gave it a sniff though and it just smelled of weed, so not anything at all that concerns me. The bowl gets extremely hot, so I'm sure residue accumulates there and contributes as well, again not something I'm worried about. Very happy with my unit so far.So after receiving a new Tera from my original order from Cream City Vapes, it is safe to say my unit has no noticeable off-gassing or vapor coming from the device when not in use. This particular device I have tested with 5 battery cycles of burn-offs. I spaced them apart with more than enough time for the unit to cool down and not risk damaging the heater. I ISO soaked the standard mouthpiece for an hour and rinsed it extensively in hot water. After using it regularly for a few days after my tests I have concluded that from what I can tell there is no off-gassing. Every once in a while when I push the temp to 400f there is a slightly weird taste but it doesn't happen with any temp past the initial 400f. This might be some of the manufacturing oils still remaining that have to be pulled off-gassed through inhalation, a little discerning. Do you think it would damage the vape to blow through the air vent on the bottom to help get rid of some of these remnants?
The video I posted was off a Tera from another vendor. It seems to be that the off-gassing is related to a few defective units.
lol okay bud.Are you kidding me??? That thing looks like it needs a good cleaneing. I quarantee you got reclaim in the the heater. I have to clean mine every few days to keep THAT from happening.

The thing with the CFX is you notice a certain mechanical/chemical taste when you have used all the top tier vapes
The only problem here is that I would rather not filter any of that out as it is good medicine
and all that filtered gunk stuff may be a reason for it
Do the Wapexhale ELB mod and you won`t get any crap in your teeth, for someone that loves modding shit, you should know that.
Not if you clean it every week or so.....not true.. I've been using the ELB mod on the CF from day one, it didn't stop reclaim stickiness from building all around the inside of the mouthpiece.. so much of it that sometimes it got completely clogged
