I'm with ya! I'd love to know whether the pods could be pre-filled for a day out and about.... where you just unscrew the mouthpiece, pull out the used pod from your pocket (having placed the pod in some sort of small hard sided container...altoid container or small pill bottle) and pop the unused one in.
How many hits per pod do you expect to get?
The battery life on the unit would last me over a full day so walking around with pre-filled pods, assuming they're sturdy enough to travel, would be great!
Sorry but I don't really have any scientific means of quantifying the amount that the pods hold. I can only say that it is a fraction of the amount that the oven holds (I know, a "fraction" can mean just about anything). It's a very small amount. I'm not sure that I would feel comfortable walking around with the pods outside of the unit. Maybe they'd be OK in a small hard-sided container, but the seal holding them together doesn't seem too strong. A slight twist and they could come apart it seems. They're also a little tricky to fill - doing so when out-and-about would be very difficult.
I've been able to get two sessions per pod, each session consisting of one largish draw followed by powering the unit off and then drawing to clear any remaining vapor. The ABV comes out even and medium-brown.
I like the pods and will probably keep using them because 1) they fit my usage needs as far as number of hits/sessions are concerned and 2) they keep the oven and mouthpiece nice and clean. Notice that I did not include "carrying around extra pods" in that list.
I've decided that the Focus Pro will be a nice replacement for my aging Pinnacle Pro. My technique includes using the pods and waiting a full 60 seconds after the vape reaches the set temp before drawing.
The fact that it closely resembles an e-cig vape lends to the stealth factor.
I haven't experienced any strong odor or taste from the vape itself.
The Focus will be a backup to my SS Grasshopper, which is simply a technological marvel in its ability to deliver thick vapor almost instantaneously.
