Sorry @[USER=17933]fernand, it wound up being a bust. My order was cancelled on their end today.[/user]
per my previo y s question ... anybody know how best to store say 8 separate gram zip lockettes of different strains? Can I keep them as is standing open in a common humidity controlled jar? or do I have to seal and humidity control each little baggie separately?
any fantastic new storage technologies?
Well yeah. But how often have you seen moldy citrus?
The truth is out! There's no reason to eat that crap, it's not nutritious at all, the man said it, it's just chlorophyll and water! like I need photosynthesis in my gut!
Thank you brother Tom, @natural farmer, @Vitolo (the sagely one), @Mynameismud , and all participating brethren.USER=6621]Adobewan[/USER], 75% would be way too high and would encourage mould. It did for my reeds. The cylinders in vitamins etc. contain silica. This is only good for drying. Not two way humidity control.
Can we all follow this cue please?To get back on the Firefly thread, finally got one, hope to receive within the next week or so!
I use 62% for everything. Havent had an issue using the herbs with any vaporizer yet.I've kept a zip- lock bag with buds inside another sealed container with a humidipak outside the zip but inside the container. It worked very well. I would always do the zip up completely. They are not completely airtight and if the air in the surrounding small area is the right humidity that does the job. Seedsman gives similar advice for storing seeds - place seeds in foil zip-lock and place inside jar with appropriate number of silica balls in the jar but not in the zip.
The humidipaks I used were 58% (marketed for long term storage of clarinet and saxophone reeds) and were great for keeping herbs at a moisture content for hand crumbling and grinding without getting powdery. 62% might be better but possibly not for vaping.

My guess is that they requested to sell it and were denied by FF. Now they trash it.Well Toronto Vaporizer has not posted my comment but has posted someone elses from the same day as mine (they posted that a few days ago). I put in @Shiggity on fcombustion forum and posted the comment again carefully taking out any words that might seem accusatory or hostile. I doubt they will post it but we all probably figured that anyway.
It is a shame when a review invites comment but is afraid to post something that goes contrary to their view. At the very least they could retract the statements about there being no temperature sensor, and about the body being made out of plastic. They could also admit that the MFLB is conduction based and not the same vaping system as the firefly. So much for neutral journalism.
If you go back and follow the great technique advice from several of the knowledgeable folks here, you can get your herb nice and dark. Took me a bit, but I got it...thanks to members in this thread.Hello everybody! I have a question for all of you firefly users there and I apologize if this has been asked before but how's the extraction of the herbs? I know some of it does depend on the strain and quality of the herb your using but I remember someone saying its comparable to the solo on 3 which seems quite low to me.I would just like to know if the firefly is capable of extracting all the goodies out of the herb as I like to have all the effects of the herb!
The Firefly gives me a very dark and well extracted ABV. and the effects are all there. I am now getting the same great results the Lotus is giving me and that says a lot in my book! I have even tried some ABV from the FF in the Lotus and nothing bad bad taste comes if I push it further (the Lotus is capable of VERY high temps mind you...). The effects are as strong as with my Lotus. And it can only get better with time, I am sure of it. With the Lotus I am still getting better every single day...Hello everybody!

Ok, i've read a lot of this thread for the last few months. Can some of the regulars tell me why i should get one?
I'm basically looking to replace my Pax.
@Trifectic and others. Truth be told, though we grin and manage, the FireFly is a tad underpowered. But it has its rewards.
What this translates to is that it requires technique for one. If you let it warm up, and not get impatient, you can squeeze pretty much all the juices you want out of da herb. Need a backup battery if you do sequential medicating.
Another issue is that some are hotter than others, and it seems we've come to confirm that by opening the device and gently optimizing the position of the coil in its ceramic grooves (and I'm talking 64's, fractions of a millimeter displacement) you can improve the heat transfer and simplify the required technique. Some have had theirs swapped by the company.
Third, when I said the Firefly is like the Solo on 3, I was talking about the new Solos, which run hotter than the originals. On 3-4 IMHO I get all of the cool stuff. At 6 on a Solo I'm getting sleepier, at 7 it's nearing combustion. I can do all that on a FireFly by vaping longer with shaking/stirring.
But I'm not all that interested, so I'm saying the FireFly naturally will most please the low-mid temp vapers like me, while the high temp "leave no terpene or flavonoid behind" crew, fans of the debilitating Borneol fraction, will prefer a Solo, a Lotus or a pipe.
If you try the FireFly you will be drawn to that bright-headed vapor, and the flavor will amaze you. Best flavor in town. Even the most effete taste snobs concede that the FireFly is on a par with the Volcano, the alleged German flavor champ. It's not clear exactly why, but the stainless steel cooling channels undoubtedly have something to do with it. Solo fans think "all glass" rules, but their oven is Stainless Steel. The FireFly has a glass oven and a SS path. Same difference. But FF delivers cool delicious vapor.
So, you choose. Are you more Eloi, or are you more Morlock? As a morlock, one that chews the stems and sprinkles the ABV on breakfast before settling down to a Ti nail session with a propane torch and a gram o' Trainwreck, you may find the FireFly a bit ... delicate.
p.s. Even @natural farmer whose Morlock tendencies are strongly hinted at, has factory-swapped his FireFly for a hotter one and is now in vape heaven.
p.p.s. Brass Wool (fine) vindicated! The (US) company confirms it's lead-free. Good enough for me. Makes nice disposable oil/wax pads for FireFly and Solo and ...
