I received my Fury a few weeks ago and thought I'd chime in with my impressions after getting to know it a bit.
First off I really like the body of the Fury. It has a solid metallic density to it that makes it feel really durable. The coating/finish is excellent, smooth and satiny. You can squeeze the body of the vape itself very vigorously and there's almost zero flex. Only weak point is the large screen on top really, and that feels quite solid as well. Can't say how it stands up to solvents yet but I'll report back if I notice anything weird.
I've been carrying my Fury around in the yard with me while doing chores because it feels like it could take a tumble without any issue; feel very comfortable carrying it in my pockets. I worry a tad about the exposed micro USB port on the bottom but tis the nature of battery vapes.
I do wish the buttons and the mouth piece were made of the same Kirsite material as the body though. They don't feel cheap or anything, it's just noticeably different compared to the body. Plastic never feels as good as metal IMO.
The MP gets quite hot as it absorbs heat from your vapour (cools it nicely I think) so it must be made of some pretty good plastic/glass; but it just doesn't feel quite as nice as the body. Doesn't have the same density and the finish is more slippery and plastic feeling compared to the smooth coated finish on the body.
Also minor nitpick but because the materials of the body and MP/Buttons are different, even though they're all black, they appear quite different in direct light. Not a big deal just something to note. Again it's not that the buttons and MP are bad, it's just noticeable that the body is better.
Onto use. The heat-up time is excellent. It's not quite on demand but 20-30s is plenty fast for me. And the Fury is ready when it says it is; immediate vapour once it's up to temp. Excellent performance here. I do think you should be able to turn the indicator lights off though. Just seems like it'd be an easy thing to do and then you get to brag about a "stealth" feature.
I did not notice a foul taste as some other members have reported. I would say the Fury is not the best tasting vape I own, but it's certainly not the worst. It's definitely enjoyable IMO. I can taste my herb and the differences in flavour between strains. Not as good as my Solo 2, but much better than the Alternate I think.
I think the Fury does burn through the tasty terps quite quickly.. but I seem to be getting a few good flavour hits initially with each bowl.
I think the Fury definitely hits like a convection vape. It's probably truly a hybrid physical system like some members have pointed out.. science checks out to me. But IMO the airy hits and relatively open draw make it perform primarily like a convection device.
I really enjoy how the Fury hits. It has a pretty open draw and what restriction it does have feels more like a useful limit to keep the vapour consistent. The intake holes are small so you can only draw so fast; no matter how hard you pull you're not going to get more air at a certain point.. But that limit is a pleasant place for me. I really like the way the Fury hits..
Vapour is really smooth. Has very little throat irritation and the design of the MP is pretty good at catching little particles. This is one vape I feel no need to use with water or whip.
My friends liked it too (they did not report a foul taste either). They do not typically like most "plastic"/battery vapes but they were so impressed with the Fury they asked me to show them the website after our session! (Which is branded on the side of the vape.. not a huge fan of that TBH
)
The bowl size is perfect for me. It's quite small, only a pinch to fill.. but I really prefer vapes that take a "less is more" approach to vaping. I think it's easy to get large clouds and taste out of a pile of weed; takes a good design to do the same with a pinch.
The Fury makes really good use of the herb you put in it and it doesn't need a full bowl to perform well. Cooks the whole load evenly with no stirring required. This is essential to me for a vape to be a daily driver.. I love all my vapes but when I see the pile of AVB on my desk it's hard to justify using some of them at times. The Fury never makes me feel like I'm wasting herb and I don't have to fiddle with the load while vaping, so I find myself reaching for it quite frequently.
I do wish the entire loading area of the bowl was tapered though, so it acted more like a funnel. The very rim of the bowl is. That works good.. But I find the flatter area around the bowl can allow herb to get stuck in the edges. And since the MP kind of snaps into the body there I like to keep that area as clean as possible. If that edge or the MP gets gunked up it is a little bit of a pain to snap off.
I would agree that the way the MP comes off feels a little weird.. I felt as if I was going to break it the first few times but after removing it over and over I've gotten used to it. No sign of wear or tear yet.
I could see it being difficult for some people with less mobility in their hands though.. It's not so much that it requires an extreme amount of force; it's just an odd angle that it needs to be applied at. I feel like I'm snapping the Fury's neck each time
.
On the plus side there's no threads or glass stems to worry about maintaining. And since the MP is a softer material than the body only the MP should wear down with use if any wear was to happen.. and that's easy to replace as Healthyrips has pointed out. I think the approach the Fury has taken has it's benefits.
Battery life is pretty good. I agree with
@RUDE BOY I'm getting ~8-10 sessions. Get more doing it back to back. Charging time is fine.
All in all I'm very pleased with the Fury. I think it's an excellent vape that hits well above it's price tag. It's durable and small form factor make it really stand out in a world of mass produced black rectangles. Just like when you pick up an expensive cell phone the Fury has a presence in the hand that leaves a strong initial impression and the vapour it provides keep the good vibes coming. I would recommend this vape to anyone who is looking for an efficient portable, that feels durable and provides consistently satisfying/smooth vapour.
I would not recommend this vape to someone who is looking for replaceable batteries, or the biggest thickest clouds. It is not the strongest vape I own and it rarely leaves me coughing and spluttering like my Tubo can easily(which sometimes you want after a long day).. That's not a bad thing! But if you're looking for something to provide thick milky clouds the Fury might not be as satisfying for you. In my experience the hits are always pleasant and "full"; but typically on the airy side no matter what temp/draw speed I try.
TL : DR: The Fury is an excellent vape IMO. I strongly feel it's worth the price. The hits it provides are extremely smooth and always satisfying for me. Heat-up time is excellent, battery life is sufficient, performance is superb. Definitely consider this one!
