I only wish I could try the update; it fails every time for me. Still waiting on a reply from Firefly CS, but here's what happens in case anyone can help:

Based on my experience, you don't want to wait for a reply from Firefly CS - it may take days if not weeks. Its best to call them, as the rep told me.

How is this baby comparing to the Crafty and Mighty? I know they're different beasts. Does the FF2 seriously let you take a quick pull and put it down without ruining any herb? That would be GREAT for me. My only concern is when cleaning, I don't know what happens if specs fall thru the bowl holes over time. It may be easily cleaned, but of course I haven't been able to see or test drive one past the point of watching a YouTube review to know
YouTube reviews don't always tend to be honest, and always tend to be over or under hyped, tho. So, I figured it would be better to ask you guys.
I won't belabor the session-vape vs single-hit vape point here, and I'm not sure I agree with the analysis anyway, for two reasons. One, I usually need more than just one hit, typically two or three, and I've had no problem turning the Crafty off, putting it away, and using it again without refilling. Some people may not like doing it, but its very doable. Secondly, the issue of the FF2 being more efficient than the Crafty simply because you only heat when needed is a little specious, because I put my thumb against the Crafty's mouthpiece when I'm not drawing, so nothing escapes. I can usually get two or three draws
after I've turned it off, so please take the efficiency claim as a marketing ploy - it may theoretically be correct, but not enough to make a difference.
More importantly, I've noticed differences in the effects pretty clearly. They are both great, but the Crafty gives me a far more cerebral effect with far less heaviness the next morning. The FF2 is much more of a body stone, leaving me feeling heavy the next morning. Same material, same number of draws, same temperature setting. The FF2 is also cooler while drawing, but it would seem to be operating at a higher temperature than the Crafty, if you subscribe to the theory that higher temperatures produce more body effects.
Personally, I've found the difference between the two has made me rethink my temperature settings preconceptions.

Excellent! I am a bowl smoker and not a blunt smoker anymore. I will more than likely get a Mighty for that full session style and the plug and playability, ease of use, changing temps to exact desired levels etc. However, the FF2 in simply intriguing for some reason, and I was used to slowly smoking a bowl over a 30 minute period. If this thing could let me take a pull and put it down like that it would be a winner. My biggest concern is if the vapor hovers in the mouth and condenses at all with the required slow draw speed requiring a draw into the mouth vs the lungs.
Could anyone perhaps compare both the draw restriction and medicating quality to a Solo? I only ask because it's the only portable I've ever owned.
I used to own a Solo, but broke the glass a couple of times, and got rid of it. The draw resistance on the FF2 is not nearly as significant as the Solo, but significantly more than the Crafty and, I assume, the Mighty.
As far as the effects go, I don't remember the Solo clearly enough, but I want to say that the FF2 is definitely better. Mainly, though, its very easy to use, which the the Solo was not. I find that changing temps on the fly is not that important to me, so that might color your view of the vapes too.
