I've heard the thing you wanna avoid is leaving it charging for a long period of time after it's fully charged. I haven't seen any definitive data on charging a partially-charged battery.
Regardless, I'm not really worried about battery life, given I'm charging each battery only once every three or four days. The reason I'm re-charging before each day's session is to avoid the battery indicator bug that is making the battery appear full when it isn't. I'd rather not be four hits into a bowl and have the battery die unexpectedly on me...it's easier to just start with a fully-charged battery for any given session.
I hope somebody looks into this. They've been saying that they'd be available in the Summer..... I'm pretty sure that was for the UK too. Going from June/July pushed back to October is huge. Like 3 months huge.In the UK and preordered with namaste vapes. Asked for and update on shipping today, was told October! Last time it was early June.
The guy at namaste did not know why FF changed there schedule for international shipping; but speculated it was due to warranty issues.
You didn't receive a shipping notification?im just hoping mine gets here alreadyI can confirm that the white is in stock. I ordered Friday and just got a surprise delivery today!
Pretty stoked to try it out.

This is a lithium-ion battery and it is possible that the technology has changed (improved) as batteries are in constant development (they need more power for bigger and bigger applications) still I would think that the battery university is still up to date.
You can look at

Table 2: Cycle life as a function of
depth of discharge.
A partial discharge reduces stress and prolongs battery life. Elevated temperature and high currents also affect cycle life.
Quick question. I remember a bunch of pages ago there were some posts about a good case for the ff2. I can't seem to find it. Any reccomendations on a good case to store it in?

I thought it was better for the battery to run them down 100% before charging. Is this done for convenience over getting max battery life? Or is it fine for the battery to recharge after partial use?
This is what Firefly has to say about the batteries. From the FAQ section in Support.
- By nature, lithium-ion batteries degrade with time and use, so the more you use your battery, the less charge it will hold over time. Firefly is designed with a swappable battery so your device will last far longer than the battery. Treat your battery similar as you would your phone: remove from the charger after it is fully charged, let battery lose charge completely before recharging, and store them at temperatures around 70°F.
Hi there oddjobold and greetings firefly 2 fans. I've been reading posts on this site for weeks now so it's nice to finally post back.
Like oddjabold, I also live in the UK, ordered from Namaste (UK site) and am eagerly waiting for my preorder BLUE FF2 which I made in late March. I just chatted with someone at Namaste called Nickolas (web chat on their website) and he assured me that the firefly 2 is on schedule. Exact quote: "the Firefly2 will be available end of May or beginning of June." This was his reply after I asked him if my order was on schedule. In fact I chatted with a different person at Namaste less than a week ago and received the same response.
So, unless their feeding us lies we will be receiving our firefly 2's within the next couple weeks.
In addition, I asked him if I could change my order to overnight shipping and he said yes, and to do so we need to request it through this email address: info@namastevapes.co.uk I think it costs £8.95
I'm very excited about this vape as it's my first one ever (never even tried one!)
The guy at Namaste also said this: "the moment they arrive at our depot they will be dispatched immediately
Standard Delivery 3-5 business days"

Any grinder cards that do a "coarse" grind? Or maybe I'm doing it wrong?
Got some cool cards but only getting fine grind which is not optimal for the FF2
Help!

Yeah, I saw pictures of the case from ff. I am not sure how soon it is before it is coming out. If I knew it was soon, I'd wait for it.
That was me. I was told in the next few weeks. I personally would wait for it....I have a Vatra case for my FF1 and I find it too bulky. FF says their case is slim enough to pocket.

I like the official case but doesn't look like the top part has a pocket area for brush and poker. That would be a shame to have to carry those separate.
Mitch can you reach out to your FF contacts and see if they have a pocket or space to put those two items??
Oh and smell proof or not. I think the fact that it's a zipper makes me think not completely but this thing doesn't give off a strong odor IMO....

These are just a few available at Amazon. Just go to Amazon's website and search for grinder card and you will get plenty of results.
