It's been a couple of weeks since I got my blue FF2 and color me sold... except for a few points, I love the device. Here's my take:
I'm getting the hang of using the FF2 and am getting effective results. Mild to moderate clouds and getting effectively medicated.
Great tasting and wonderfully cool hits.
Build quality is nice, though despite using a case I have got two very, very small scratches on the painted area of the top plate. I would have liked a more resilient finish on something that should in my opinion, readily survive (relatively unscathed) life in a pocket. **Side note** I'd love to see unpainted covers to become available. As an artist I would jump at the chance to make some custom tops.
The app is snazzy, but can be a bit of a pain. As it's been brought up here it's key to remember to have Bluetooth on AND GPS activated PRIOR to open the app. Why GPS is necessary is beyond me. Additionally, my battery level indicator is not showing accurately. Basically it indicates full, no matter what. Perhaps this has been discussed. I've got something of a backlog of posts to read.
My Main beef so far is the chemical taste that I detect when using HIGH temp at the end of the herb's service life, when wringing that last bit out. I put the flavor akin to what I would assume taking a hit through a brand new laptop would taste like. The chemical taste is undeniable. It originally struck me as tasting like the odor of uncured 2 part acrylic resin. However, I'm curious as to if it's from the foam rubber (or the adhesive below) that frames the vapor path. Perhaps the FF@ was truly rushed to market, before some of it's components could fully cure. Is is enough to make me shelve the FF2? Well, Every time I get that taste, I can't help but wonder in the back of my mind, if this material is carcinogenic, an endocrine disruptor, etc. But no, I continue using it. The taste has diminished over time and I haven't felt too terribly exposed. I have used binary components (urethane rubbers and foam, various resins, silicon, etc. for years, as well as some very nasty shit (fiberglass comes to mind) and I'm fairly (I hope) savvy when it comes to avoiding toxic exposure.
Anyway, for me the FF2 is a game changer. I can now effectively, relatively covertly, and enjoyably get medicated at will. Micro doses on my walk home from the train have been wonderful. I really like the mindset I find myself when walking in the door.
Cheers ya'll!
