Either we're not using the same stuff or we don't have the same lungs, but there's no way I could deplete any amount in just 4 hits. :shrug:

Are you micro dosing? Is there really no vapor left when you stop? I'm really puzzled because whatever the vape I use, everytime I come across people like you in the various threads I frequent and the experience you describe is so much different than mine...

I have huge lung capacity, that is one factor. I get great results this way. Firs few times i tried this vape i was unimpressed. This way it blows me away and the bowl is totally spent.

Don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere yet but I've discovered that the Swift Pro funnel works well with the Vivant Alternate and the 1" diameter Jyraz storage!

FUCKING COMBUSTION SINCE 2012

It's a convection vape, you need a lot of air movement to produce vapor. Set it also to a higher temperature than what you start with your conduction vapes.

I start at 190°C and I do direct-to-lung inhalations. Try to inhale as long and as strong as you can and you should get ample clouds. There is some draw restriction indeed but you'll get used to it hopefully.

@Pher U need to hit this thing hard, full bowl close to max temp and let r rip. I do 4 huge rips in succession and the bowl is depleted. massive clouds massive effects.

I was hitting this like my life depended on it on the highest temp. Something isn't right.

I'm thinking that the rubber o ring is covering the intake holes like an earlier poster mentioned or this is a defective unit like @Jill NYC experienced.

Checking for air leaks: First thing I did to check the various seals and o-rings was put my finger over air vent on bottom and suck on the mouthpiece - no airflow at all. Take finger off and...lots of airflow. This tells me there is no air bypassing bowl and all the seals are working. I loosely pack bowl and do first session at 385*, followed by a session an hour later at 420*. I always get decent clouds but it does seem to vary somewhat with the strain. Love the Swift Pro.

No decent clouds here no matter what I do. Loose pack, tight pack, high temp, etc.

Strange. What other vapes do you compare it to? Do you still get medicated in the end? Maybe your expectations are too high, or your unit is defective in some way?

Did you test for air leaks like @gooroo did above?

My unit can give me clouds on par with the Milaana or MistVape Touch but I have to work harder to get them (these two vapes are free flowing in comparison so it's effortless to get vapor)

Ok I'm not sure what's going on with my Swift but I am not impressed with it after the first use. I'm hoping it's user error.

I was very impressed by the accessories that come with it. Most of it feels very well made but the mouth piece could have a tighter fit. It seems a little loose and I'm concerned that over time, it will become even worse. I ordered the glass mouthpiece too and it fits ok but still seems a bit loose.

The unit definitely had a plastic smell to it. I was hoping that by spending more money on a "better" vape that I would not have that problem. I did a few burn offs and it got a little better. The plastic mouthpiece definitely has a strong taste and odor to it though. I'm very glad I got the glass mouthpiece with it.

The worst thing of all though is that I could not get it to produce decent vapor at all. I had to inhale like my life depended on it in order to get anything. It was not an enjoyable experience and even still the vapor wasn't very much.

I want to like this unit. I really do. It's the most expensive vape I have bought to date so I'm hoping someone can offer a tip or a trick to correct this issue. My old Titan 2 did a better job at producing vapor, had the same taste and smell when new and did not have any draw restriction.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long winded post!

I have a SP and love it. I also have a Mighty (which is outstanding) and still love my SP.

I have absolutely no problem getting vapor out of this thing.

I grind fine, dry a bit, pack loosely, and start at 385 and bounce only when the vapor is getting whispy.

Works perfectly.

Hope this is helpful.

Before you loosely pack your fine grind, maybe try letting the herb sit out on a paper towel for about 20 minutes to allow it to dry out. :)

Take long, very long and slow draws... since it's a full convection unit the heat take some time to be transfered to the load and to vaporize it. If you come from a more conductive unit a short puff will not work with the Swift, as well an intense draw (except when you feel the vapor where you can draw as hard as you want).

This unit was definitly one of the best China cheap (not really in fact) vape I tested! I hope @lookhigh will find some fun with my unit.... I loved to used mine without the rotary mp and i plugged a tubing in the hole to connect the Swift to a water tool, it helps a lot to see the full potential of the unit (I used it habitually at 210°c for the first half session and ramp up to 230°C for the rest, I stirred the load 2-3 times during the session).

Is there some hopes to see a Swift2.0 with replacable batteries, higher top temp and aluminium body...?

received my unit today from puff it up. $99...wow, what a steal. loaded in .15gms which is capacity. 5 clicks, set temp to 380f...bam! 20 secs hit temp. took long, 10-15 sec draws. 1st hit...light vapor with amazing taste. next draw nice, dense vapor. stirred every other draw. got 6 good hits. impressed. no harshness like conduction vapes. very happy I grabbed one, can't understand why some are having problems getting vapor. it's simple, load up, take long draws to get clouds.

wondering if the cfv aluminum bowl works well in the Swift Pro? if yes, is it worth picking up?

Hello FC ! I bought my Swift pro at puffitup a couple months ago. But I have a problem now, the charging jack of the device isn't working, it's really flimsy and bad quality and isn't working. I'm afraid at taking apart the device and breaking something for ever. Is there a way to year up the device? Any tutorial on how to open it without damaging it ? I appreciate any help, very bad quality construction if it can't take a couple of months of use !

Jack? You mean micro USB port right?

The bottom of the device is covered with a plastic sticker. You can use a flat blade and gently pry it out to reveal some screws. Should give you access to the USB port to reflow the solder joints on it. Beware that like all recent commercial stuff it's using lead-free solder which has a higher melting temperature and can be trickier for novices.
