Is there any way we can check if we are breathing in electronics fumes? The solder and PCB appear to be directly in the airflow path. Any fluid dynamics experts in the house?
Almost no chance you are breathing in fumes. Electronics in air path doesn't mean electronics in heated air path. Significant distinction. Perhaps not up to some' standards but very unlikely to be "fumes"Is there any way we can check if we are breathing in electronics fumes? The solder and PCB appear to be directly in the airflow path.

I agree. But I didn't ditch combustion for vaping to swap from one source of harmful byproducts to another.Almost no chance you are breathing in fumes.

I understand that. I do think an officially worded response from firefly would be ideal on the subject, especially as they continue to push the medical frontier aspect of their advertisringI agree. But I didn't ditch combustion for vaping to swap from one source of harmful byproducts to another.

What makes you think this? When I look at teardown pix, the air vents are on the side and front of the bowl, well away from the PCB. Do you have a pic or evidence to back up what you're saying? Cause I'm not seeing it.
Air seems to go through every little nook, cranny and crack all of which are visible in the picture above. Look where the heating rods are, look at the small spaces on the extreme sides.. not too mention and space open between the the unit and the batter lid...
It's clear.... nothing to debate... and look how close all of this is to the heater...
Dude I didn't block the Air path... I used it how it is supposed to work...Jesus Tapdancing Christ.
1. The airpaths are on the side of the bowl and the front of the bowl. Air is not intended to go through the other openings.
2. Yes, if you block all the airpaths and force air to go through other parts of the vape, that could happen. That's not how it's intended to be used. No one would block those paths in normal use. If you don't block them, air goes through them, not other parts of the vape.
3. The entire device is like five inches long. Of course all parts of the vape are "close to the heater". How close to the heater are the paths on the Pax 2? Just inches. Does that mean the airflow is bad? NO. It's a small device.
There's nothing for anyone to admit. You jerry-rigged your FF to force air to go where it shouldn't. Big deal. I can take any device in my house, use it in a non-intended way, and have problems. My tv doesn't work when I toss it into a swimming pool. Does that mean it's a bad tv?
Spreading bad info about any device isn't helpful. The airpath doesn't go over the PCB. Period. It's patently obvious from the pic you just posted, to anyone who can see properly. Sure, block the intended airway, and bad stuff can happen. So here's a hint: don't block the airpaths.
Remember the old joke..."hey doc, it hurts when I do this"...Dr: "So DON'T DO THAT!". Stop blocking the airways and trying to force air to go where it shouldn't, and the FF operates properly.
Looks blocked to me in your pix, via the plastic wrap.
That's a blocked air path?
How is it sealed just with the snap cover? There are no O-rings or silicone that I can see?.
I haven't, hence why I asked. I couldn't see anything from the reviews I've watched. I wasn't trying to stir a pot, just asking a question.
Not sure if this is an issue....I looked into the open bowl and notice the two major air vents that are under the glass are not lined up with the external air feed holes.....Could that cause resistance when drawing?? I am in good health not a tobacco users have strong lungs...but the draw on this seems a little tough..maybe I'm spoiled by the Crafty...I tried my FF2 for the first time last night..and again just now....To me...it seems like it's difficult to get decent vape flow...I have to pull on it much harder than Pax2 or Crafty.... I filled bowl with coarse grind and it almost is exhausting after I pull a slow draw off the unit....Is something wrong here?? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I will give it some good use this weekend and I'm sure I will adjust...The FF is designed to have some draw resistance in order to facilitate vapor production. It will feel much more restricted than the Crafty or Mighty...but shouldn't feel more restricted than the Pax. Should be the same or less resistance than the P2.
Make sure the mouthpiece is seated correctly, the lid is on correctLy, and that no debris is blocking the mouthpiece, its screen, or its feeder hole on the main plate.
The mouthpiece won't go in upside-down unless it's broken.Pharoh - Also, do you have your mouthpiece in right side up...one side has hole for airflow. If put in upside down, then air flow would be cut off. Just an idea for you.
On fence about FF2, no battery indicator sucks, and my worst part about my best Vape. Might be a deal breakerIn all honesty, the faulty battery meter is a huge deal to me.
My biggest complaint about the original firefly (aside from the fact that it was kinda unreliable for me) was the way the batteries would just die mid-hit without any sort of warning.
Now they're still doing that, but they tell you the battery is 100% full mere seconds before they tell you it's dead.
It's my absolute least favorite thing about this vaporizer and on some days when i start my inhale and watch the pulsing green snap to blinking red i just want to throw the goddamn thing against the concrete.
I'm very happy with the vaporizer aside from that, but the battery issue was my biggest complaint with the FF1 and the fact that the FF2 has the same problem (and in addition lies about how much battery it even has at any given moment) is driving me fucking nuts!!
