...this was my first vape and I had such a problem back then with it...I just did not vape and continued smoking. Until one day. I bought others and saw that it was basically the same shit but, worse. No taste. I went back to the Firefly and saw a video on Youtube that changed my life. I went back to the Firefly and had a friggen session of my life!!!!!!!!! I could not believe also the amount of clouds I was making too. Basically, put your lips gently on the mouth piece and gently breathe in...you will hear that wonderful sound ONLY IF THE LID IS SOLIDLY PLACED ON TOP. If the lid is slightly off you will NOT hear the sound. YOU HAVE TO HEAR that sound...if you do not you have a lid problem. OR I had problems when I did not snap the mouth piece really firmly back. I am just giving you my experience with it. I am a newbie to this all but, I did master my Firefly's...today , I own the red and silver OG...love them. I own a Firefly 2, and a Firefly 2 Plus...I use them everyday. Please give it another try. I wish you could try mine! Good luck....
I bought it off ebay with a whole bundle...2 lids, 2 battery covers, a case, and an extra battery with an external charger... I've used both lids, its definitely not a lid issue. Unless I'm super unlucky and have two bad lids.
There isn't enough air passing through the device to make a sound. Ive tried blowing INTO the device with all my might, a whistle isn't possible.
I've dissasembled it, and cleaned it. I even took a silicone/rubber gasket out from beneath the bowl. Ive removed the screen from the mouthpiece...and now its somewhat usable without giving myself a headache from drawing so hard. It's like trying to drink Boba tea and the straw gets clogged. There's no way its what the user is expected to experience.
I bought a tafee bowle from the classified section so I wouldn't have to stress about it anymore...
I may try to buy another used firefly at some point, as i'm 90 percent sure mine is defective. The flavor is great from my firefly, its enjoyable once I've recovered from my lungs damn near collapsing and sucking my fillings outta my teeth.
