Personally, I wouldn't shell out over 300$ for any vaporizer, it's just a specialized heater after all. But the new firefly provides more than marginal benefit over the firefly 1 since it has temperature control. It will probably completely change how you use the Firefly. Firefly 1 was more technique oriented like the MFLB.
At this rate, we might as well have a built in screen, I'm sure these companies can afford it now lolSomething just occurred to me. Google has a Voice Interaction API for Android 6+. This is not just for voice to text, it can be used to perform actions within an app. If this were implemented in the FF2 app, you could just speak to your phone in your pocket and tell it to change temps. You could even ask it to tell you the battery status and it would read it out loud to you....
FF crew said that the app will be updated to include more temps after the FF2 is released, so maybe they could implement voice commands too?
Can you give a link for ff2 preorder? Thx!
The Haze Square and ZeptO look pretty great too!
The high price point coupled with the need for an app could be a reason.
You HAVE to read this whole ff2 thread! I wish I remembered what it said about heater power improvement for the ff2, but what we know so far is in this (short) thread.
I'm sure you're right, I think vaping flower is still so much of a niche that we can't expect it to behave like a big market. The path to vaping is still a weird one, and most of us have owned a few vapes on the way to knowing what we like. Big spread of opinions, knowledge, and use. I imagine the FF2 was developed w/ the Pax2 and Crafty as it's contemporaries - now there are emerging, kick-ass <$200 quick convection options like the Grasshopper and Firewood 3.0 and Zion single-battery which seems like a lot to enthusiasts, but they're mostly unavailable and far from the numbers, notoriety, or availability they'd need to really affect Firefly. Heck, Flowermate is doing good business, making good products that people like, w/ at least part of the attraction being the low entry cost - I liked my FM Mini and passed it on to a friend I like, too - when it's easy to argue that conduction vapes are slow & inefficient and in long-term costs the Flowermates give you less for more. Firefly is one of the top brands in vaping and it looks like they made their product legitimately better, they're gonna be fine.Yes, the 2 improves on the 1 in virtually every important feature. FWIW I have no trouble getting large clouds with the 1.
Low interest? Likely the fact that it's not out yet, they won't be taking orders for at least a couple more weeks, and the first units won't ship for another couple of months. That sort of time frame can limit thread traffic. (We are in a data void right now....there's not much more to talk about, if you've read the whole thread up to now.)
Those surmising that their personal feelings about price and function can be extrapolated to the wider consumer base of FF will end up being quite surprised when FF sells a crapload of FF2s....given interest and voluminous inquiries in multiple venues, I have a feeling they won't be able to keep these things in stock. For every person complaining about features on a device they've never held or used there seem to be 100s dying to pre-order. I suspect that perceived ratio is highly favorable to FF.
