Also, I'm digging the "finger stir" demonstrated in the Mark Robinson FF instructional video they posted. It's nice to not always have to worry about having a stirrer.
Stupid question...what is the brown circular piece...positioned under the bowl?
Concerning the dust build-up in the mouthpiece, an iso bath+irritation did in fact restore my mouthpiece to pristine conditions. I found that the easiest way to do this was to simply use an empty water bottle. Place your mouthpiece (or/and concentrate pads) into the water bottle and fill with iso where it covers the accessories. Now leave for 15-30 min and remember to give it a couple shakes/twirls every once in a while. Carefully wash everything with water when finished
Edit: After taking the first hit from my newly cleaned mouthpiece I noticed a white film cover the entire inside of the mouthpiece. I simply took a toothpick and scraped it all out, but I think the iso bath+irritation method for cleaning ff2 mouthpieces is no longer a viable option. (The method still works for cleaning the concentrate pads though.) Anyone else have any ideas on how to clean these plastic mouthpieces?
Cotton swab dipped in ISO. Cleans mine quickly, and avoids leaving it soaking in ISO.
Those Vipes from Vapefiend are awesome too.
I don't own the unit but based on previous comments and other video reviews, the seams collecting gunk is something I've seen mentioned before. Maybe it's too early tell but I am pretty sure its a non issue.Hey FC, I've been hemming and hawing over getting an FF2 specifically because I love great taste and on demand as a feature. I have a Ti woody S and a haze v3 that are my main devices right now and I'm specifically worried about 1 thing with the FF2.
How clean do the holes in the oven stay? Over time, are they clogging with bits of kief? Are the seams where the oven connects to the body of the device collecting anything gunky either?
My #1 complaint of my haze is its dirty taste. My wife also hates it when I leave it on 3 and forget, she really hates the smell of combustion. I'm hoping I can solve both of those problems with a FF2 but I'm also considering an e-nano.
Anyway, that was my main concern, its a real PITA to break my haze down to clean the air inlets below the oven.
Also is there a way to charge a backup battery so you can swap or...? Sorry, it wasn't obvious to me.
If you're worried about the price of wipes here's the ultimate cheap FF2 cleaning tip.
Take 1 rectangle of paper towel, fold and tear into 4 pieces, ball up the pieces and wet with rubbing alcohol.
You now have 4 alcohol wipes made as cheaply as possible and you can clean your FF2 using only a single sheet of paper towel.
In the meantime I have decided to start documenting how bad my Firefly 2 works so I have proper numbers when they answer back. HEre is an example:

Ok, I just wanted to report that I now love this vaporizer using the screen method to keep the herb down next to the screen. I actually had considered using a screen instead of the concentrate pad before, but after @FLMan420 suggested it and reported success, I gave it a try. Now I have the portable e-Nano I was looking for for microdosing. I like to vape very small amounts of .020g. But in order for this to work, I need to be getting nearly 100% extraction.Nice, I'll give that a try - thanks!

3. Ensure the herb is evenly distributed across the whole screen.
Just to clarify, your herb was placed on top of the screen? Or was the herb packed, then the screen placed on top?
So 72 hours after sendin my email and still no answer. They take longer to answer than Grasshopper labs and that's "no bueno". To be honest I'm disappointed, usually the rest of customer services I have had to deal with answered back in no more than 48 hours.

I finished charging my FF2 at 00:30 on 12/7 and used it on high all the time without conecting it to the app. Took 5 hits from it and went to bed, next morning took 2 more and went to work. I came back home at 23:30 (less than 24 hours after full charge) and when tried to use it I got the blinking red light. WTF? So I decided to try what another member here suggested and took the battery out for a few seconds and put it back, that give me another 3 hits before blinkig red again. Took it out again and was able to take 1 more hit. 1:35 am of 13/7.
So a full charge gave me 11 hits at high on a spam life of 25 hours, the worst battery life of any vaporizer I have had.
At this point I'm really disappointed at the performance of this device and hope they take care of me as soon as posible because I don't think this is how it should work and it's really obvious that there is a problem with my unit...
No stirring required with this method?Great question. Herb under the screen!
When I was talking about distribution I meant on the FF2 built in screen, but I see how that was ambiguous
see step#5......No stirring required with this method?
