Frolic has landed! First impressions below.
The build appears really solid. Feels good in the hand and has some nice heft to it. I didn't notice much of any robot fart smells before or after burnoff. Airflow controls are pretty easy but as mentioned before you do sometimes have to hold the mouthpiece so they don't rotate in tandem when you're adjusting it. I left it wide open initially and it felt super airy.
My first go I loaded just enough flower to cover the bottom screen and tried on-demand mode at 400F. Only took about 5sec from cold to buzz. I took a nice long draw and only got wispy vapor. Taste seemed a bit thin. I tried a couple more pulls and got more vapor but everything felt a bit too airy. I looked at the bowl and it was already spent. A very nice toasty brown.
I decided to make a couple of adjustments so I loaded another very small bowl with flower just covering the screen. I closed off the airflow about 25% and cranked the heater up to 440F. Huge improvement in vapor production and taste! Very very TB2-like type hit with big clouds and big taste. There's no lack of power in the heater. I had forgotten this thing can get up to 464F in on-demand mode but I will say that hits I got at 440F were impressive. Speed is also there as the bowl was cashed in two hits and subsequent heat-ups were 2s or less.
I have a lot more experimenting to do but initial futzing around is looking promising! I had charged my battery fully before vaping and the meter hasn't moved after these two bowls.

And finally capsules! The AVLP gold plated capsules that I hold in high regard actually almost fit perfectly! These last two shots show that they're just a bit too high (CU is almost flush) but seem a better fit than the S&B ones from the pics here on the forum. I will definitely be trying a session mode with these guys soon.

Have a look at my impressions above. Try reducing your airflow a bit and raise your temps in on-demand mode to at least 228C.
Edit: I forgot to mention one slight negative. In the couple of back-to-back bowls I tried on-demand, the unit does get close to being too hot to handle at the very top of the CU, near the Limelight logo mostly. I don't think it'll be an issue for me but this thing does put out some serious heat.
