Dani Fusion by Battery-free Ganz

[General Disaster]

I might be misremembering but I think the click of my cap was a little less loud at the beginning, and got louder after some use. Fusion OG. But it was relatively loud from the beginning especially compared to dynavap.

Actually, with my first cap, BFG suggested over-heating a few times (when empty) and also aiming the jet into the clicker hole for 10 secs, and finally suggested tapping it. So it could well be that it'll improve as it beds in and gets more use - expansion/contraction cycles. I can only live in hope!
(Hmmm, with hindsight, I have to admit there's a good chance I may not live in hope at all, but that's nothing to do with BFG or the Dani; sometimes, life's just a bitch y'know? )

On my fusion Og the click is pretty loud, thé cool down click is faint though, sometimes I think I missed it while in fact it didn't click yet, reheat and combust.

 

[General Disaster]

Ok, rub it in why dontcha?
Make me feel even worse!

 

[Sativapo]

The point is this clickers are all a bit different. You can also be happy to have a loud cool down click, not hearing it can also lead to combustion.
Life's a bitch and than you diiie,
that's why we puff laaa.

My fusion 1 doesn't have the loudest click but it is clearly audible. I was doing a bit of a test on the fusion and tempest heat up times, this is heating empty on the bottom ring, spinning, upright, until click. And letting it cool down for an hour between reheats to ensure cold again. I usually go a good 8 to 10 seconds past the click when vaping.
Small torch 21 seconds
Medium torch 16 seconds
Big chef torch 15 seconds
For what its worth whilst the heat retention of the tempest is waaay better, the fusion performance is very close, as good if not slightly better flavour and big clouds, for half the price of the tempest it's a great great device, I hope those struggling with the 2.0 manage to get them sorted, well worth it

 

[General Disaster]

I tried the spinning, but got dizzy and fell over after a minute.
But never mind, once the blood stops I'll try again!

If it weren't for the click, over which I suspend judgement for now, I would rate the Dani F2 very highly for the cost. Must better than my DV and I haven't yet tried the full bowl setting. I'm also thinking on maybe trying a different torch, but early days and I remember first day with the DV was depressing, nearly gave up on it, but got better with practice. One way to get very stoned!

I'm not even looking for the biggest hit, if I want that I got to the ball vape. This is to try and keep me off the smoking as much as possible.

H o l y C o w!

I haven't been as enthusiastic about a vaporiser as this one for a
loooong time!
The Dani Fusion 2.0 really gets me in every aspect.
Heating it about 4x times allows 6-10 juicy hits, which makes even a
TinyMight 2 look a bit petty.
In terms of cap and heating, it was always 100% consistent.
The AVB is well browned, but not too dark. The terps come through fully
and the amount of vapour is more awesome and (much) more flavourful than
the Anvil ever was. A DynaVap with a full tank seems more like a
microdoser in comparison. Not nearly as tasty in flavour either. The
Armored Cap lags far behind - in terms of flavour and consistency.
It's not a one-heat-one-full-extraction device, but I never wanted that
either.
I love the ritual of working with a torch, letting the device rest
briefly and then play with it again. Especially with a Torch (whether
single or dual) it goes full throttle and leaves nothing unfulfilled.
Even after heating 4-5 times, the Stem gets ZERO hot or unpleasant to
touch. Sure, it's warm to the touch, but nothing that another would do
differently.
Especially the flavour, the juiciness of the hits, the feel incl. its
weight and the perceived (and machine-induced) value for me (!) leaves
nothing to be desired.

The draw feels still restrictive with AFC fully open but is very
pleasant to vape. With decreasing air supply, it naturally becomes more
of a "puffer than a pull-through", but I don't need that anyway.

10/10 points for BFG. Chapeau.

How do you find the click? ("Well, I just looked under the bowl, and there it was!")
With mine it's only just audible under quiet conditions, yours?

Also, out of interest, are you running that on a full or half bowl?

it's not like loud clicky but its def noticable. and i run it on full bowl so far.

Thanks, I suspect I got one that's a little under par, shall we say? Which is so annoying in a minor way, as I really like the thing, and the simple lack of click isn't the fault of the overall design. Mine's a wooden shorty, and the wood is beautifully finished. I really like this so much more than the DV (not tried any other butane vapes - my VAS doesn't match my bank account, sad to say), and think the extra cost is worth every penny at least. I know these things can be a bit of an art, not like an electric vape so much where it's usually much easier to get it right first time (maybe not at best, but working).

Hey! I don't suppose you'd like to swap your cap?

 

[TedJones]

Awesome seeing everyone’s first impressions! It’ll only get better once dialed in to your liking. Reminds me of when I first got mine over a year ago. My og cap clicks nice and loud with the flame real close and heavy heat, like so.

I don’t need a 2.0, but sure want one

 

[General Disaster]

Shit! I couldn't hear anything except the click as you let go the lighter button.
I thought my replacement cap was an improvement, slight, but a little better. But I think I was wrong. I was testing it empty; but with a full bowl, I'm having trouble hearing anything at all! I think the weed is acting as a slight sound muffler!
At this rate I'm gunna need an IR cam to see how hot it is! Aaaagh! So annoying when the device is so good, or at least I like it! When I do chance on the right amount of heat, it's great!
@TedJones - you need a shave mate!
(if you saw my mush, you'd realise that's a joke, btw! )

Whoa! I may just have found a solution to silent but working heat-up click!
Although, if anything the damn thing has got quieter with use!!! I've discovered that I can actually see the click! Bugger my boots!
If I get the light to partially reflect on it while heating, so pointing the cap end toward my eyes so I can see down the little hole (fnaar fnaar! I could have copy and pasted that from a porn site!) and as I heat it (the cap, idiot!) when the click (presumably) goes, I see the light flicker slightly from the movement of the clicker!
Having said that, it probably won't work from now on, but fingers and testicles crossed, I may have an answer that could be better than the aural solution! Won't need to turn the music down! It's an ill wind an' all that!

Oh yes!!! Just tried another dry run, and sure enough, if anything it was easier to spot when I'm looking for it!
Now, where did I put my weed...

Yeeeesssss, s'workinnnnn', aaahhh'm geettttiiinng stooooooned!

(well that's a bloody relief! )

P.S.
I can now confirm that there is a new syndrome as well as VAS, and it's called...
VAS! - Vape Anxiety Syndrome (patent pending © GD™), which appears to be a side effect of VAS in certain cases! I must publish a paper!

Has anyone with an F2 noticed this with the bowl?
I started with it on a half setting, that's how it came. This was little bit on the small side so I pushed the screen down to get the full size.
Was a wee bit surprised it only seems to grow the bowl by about 50% (it seems anyway), but that's ok, I don't think I ever saw them say otherwise, I'd just made an assumption!
But what was more interesting, was the draw became very restricted compared to the half bowl, and even with light packing, became very slow with RTL (all airholes fully open). Closer examination to the best my naked eye's can see, it appears the outer half (?) of the screen, the mm or two of the outer circumference, was now touching the base of the bowl, preventing (much) airflow, and restricting the flow to the centre of the screen!
Not, I would say, ideal? It's a very minor thing and I've no doubt a small change could prevent that, and it's not a huge thing for me, I just very carefully pushed it back up maybe 0.5mm or less, and now the flow is almost same as before (as best I can tell).
I'm just curious if others have come across this? Maybe mine is slightly duff? (I don't think so though).
Anyone else noticed this? Anyone found other fixes if they did? Not a big deal, but I'm curious.

So it can be easily solved, right? There doesn't seem to be a malfunction then. Maybe you didn't press hard enough the first time? I don't know if I understand you correctly, because English is not my first language, sorry.

I wasn't complaining about a bad item! Sorry if it seemed like that.
It was more just something I noticed and wondered if others have seen this too. Is it me not doing something right? Or something that could be improved in design?
I solved it by removing the bowl, and using a thin rod, pushed up from the bottom (opposite end to bowl) move the screen 0.5mm up toward the half-bowl groove. This just gave a very small gap between the screen and the bottom of the bowl, and seems much better. But to adjust like that is tricky, and some people will find it easier than others.

Or, I may just have been clumsy when trying to increase bowl size? I thought there would be another groove near the bottom of the bowl, but that doesn't seem to be the case, and it ended up appearing to have reached the bottom of the bowl, as far as it could go (also shown by the drop in airflow?).

 

[TedJones]

I think I get what you’re saying. In my F1 think it’s a 5/16 mesh I use that’s just a mm too big. I bend it slightly and insert “upside down” so there’s a slight gap above the tiny ass bore hole. Like to think it helps the flow

I noticed this on the Fusion 1 too. I flipped the screen and re-inserted it so it was bulging outwards rather than bulging inwards and that left the holes around the edge enough air-flow. Was a huge improvement - I think I read about the issue somewhere so was prepared.

Ah! Sneaky! Yeah, I can see how that would work now, at the time it wasn't clear as it's so set inside the bowing isn't clear. I never fully removed it (the less I do, the less likely I'll screw up yet another expensive new piece of kit!).

Hmmm, I really need to start reading downwards, not newest first! Sheesh, sorry! Yeah, same as @b8man99 so obviously I've been shown up for not going through the old posts well enough! Oh! The shame! I can't look!
Thanks!

My replacement cap arrived yesterday, and this one does indeed click. I assume it's 1 light click only, on the heat-up? I thought the AVB was a little light, so I went about 3-4 seconds post-click next time. The reclaim was a little darker, but the vape was much harsher. I was coughing like a little clown.

I realized the cap will stick unless you back it off a touch.

Finally, I'm using the stainless stem, no carb, and I think it arrived set to full bowl. This thing made clouds but was very restrictive. Packed a little looser on the 3rd bowl, slightly less tight but still very restrictive. This was almost like smoking an American Spirit Black.

Not sure if I'm on track with this....if I try to adjust the airflow by spinning the tip and looking down, I really can't see a thing. Turned it 90 degrees, not sure I noticed a difference. Maybe it likes a very loose pack, not sure yet.

Also.....does this device really need a bong?

 

[3PuttMutt]

if I try to adjust the airflow by spinning the tip and looking down,

Look down the stem with the mouthpiece up and the bowl side down. Assuming you aren’t already doing that, you can see the airflow holes better that way.

 

[General Disaster]

Glad to hear you got your new cap and it works, sorry you're having problems though.
Yes, it's one click only. I'm finding I'm having to go 10 to 12 seconds past the click, so I'm thinking my clicker isn't well calibrated? It seems more like the v1's from descriptions.
Regards the draw, yes, those holes are hard to see, and I've very sharp eyesight, it's a matter of getting the right angle when the light is reflecting of the metal behind and just shows through. I found it easier to gently pull the bowl out until I could see the alignment, then carefully push back in keeping it at the same alignment.
The screen I found, when at full bowl size, may be a bit restrictive. Comments above from others too, but I pushed the screen a tiny bit up and this seemed to improve airflow too. Some people found flipping it over worked too (read above).
I've not felt the need for glass, cool enough as it is (mine's a wooden shorty).

 

[General Disaster]

Sorry, missed this bit, and the edit has time-out...
Don't tighten the cap that last 1mm, or back it off by the smallest amount if you do tighten it, then it'll never stick, and you won't have that problem removing the cap when hot. It won't effect airflow or cause any problem.

 

[3PuttMutt]

I stumbled on a neat trick today while cleaning - for those that struggle getting the 2.0 into the half bowl setting:

Take off the mouthpiece and use it (o-ring side down) to press the screen slowly into the bowl. The diameter of that side of the mouthpiece is almost the same as the bowl, so it provides distributed force across the surface of the screen, and the depth is about 1mm short of all the way in. If you go slowly, it will snap right into place.

[Hms34]

I'm finding on the half-bowl setting (I assume it arrived this way because of the gap below the screen), that it's like 2 rips and done. Also, it isn't that consistent, especially when reheating a warm cap. It can be a bit light on the first heat, then right below the line by the 3rd heat.

In all fairness, I then hit my Dyna M+, and could barely feel it, as point of comparison. Scary thing is 4 bowls and I'm like 2/10 now (but I will still get blasted if I take 5-6 hits from a preroll J).

I want to see what my Dani will do with a bong. Even without a WPA, it gives an ok seal in an 18/14 downstem with a little wiggling.

I wonder about getting a little more of a session, and maybe a little less restrictive airflow. Tempest, or even the Stunner? Or a Dani tip with a bigger bowl? I don't see the tips listed separately on the new Wesley Pipes site. I know Tempest is unrelated, just thinking aloud. VAS is not easy to control these days.
