I was so excited for this vape when I first heard about it, very little kept me away from the first Firefly, and the much smaller size of the new one resolved a good chunk of the dealbreaking aspects of the original design.
However, when I heard that you still need to stir bowls to get even vaporization, that was the end of my interest.
I need to put this out there not in a company bashing way (obviously other vapes have this issue too, but many do not), but as a more general message:
If your portable flower vape comes requires stirring of the load to get even vaporization, you need to do some design work still. The reason I mention the portability specifically here is that in public or out of the house (where we often use portables), nobody wants to be opening up and revealing the load in their vape to stir it because it won't heat evenly. I would think you guys will agree that needing to stir the load to get even vaporization is really crude design given we've had a few generations of vapes and many different designs have overcome this drawback.
I am still waiting to see a genuinely pocketable (fits in a pocket with plenty of pocket space to spare), reliable (a vape that the vast majority of users could reasonably expect to use heavily for years and not need warranty replacements) on-demand vaporizer with adequate battery life/replaceable batteries that does not require any stirring of the load and made of safe materials of course.
Anything different is not something I could countenance using as a portable.
The Grasshopper and the Firefly 2 are each very close, except that the former has problems with reliability and the latter requires stirring. It seems like it might be too late for the Firefly 2 to meet my needs (but fingers crossed!), so here's to hoping that the GH has the design kinks worked out soon!
