So yeah sounds like he missed me... I'll send him an email about it later. Luckily I accidentally archived the email so I still have it.

Have not even gotten to try it yet, also need to take better photos, you could see it better in my previous post with the photos from GVB... Had to share these for now though!

You're toad is really cool! What's the button?

Really curious to hear what you think of the WPAs with the Toad. May need to start stocking up on glass with my Toad arriving imminently

That is orange lichen! It is a basic cherry(?) pear(?) toad, but the slate blue sleeve color has a bit of splatter for extra effect, so just slightly more expensive than the base price

Whoops accidentally attached the wrong photos before! Just updated above, those WPA are not for the toad actually, one is loose fitting for Tinymight, and the other is loose fitting for Solo3 (ironically loose fitting for the S3 is actually toad size, however I foolishly did not think to request that WPA stem be made longer so it could fit in and be used with the toad too) having all one piece should be better than having WPA with separate hook, even though I have a wide variety of different glass attachments, but I don't think I would ever want to use toad through water personally?

For sure, that's why I was curious about it. Wasn't sure how an unregulated would go in a WPA, but I'd guess combusty

I've done it before, it is a game of timing and other variables, but you also have to visual see filling and know to stop heating in advance accordingly, Milaana (and ZM) not unlike trying to use Lily Brick type torch vape honestly, but yeah just tricky and not as rewarding... Easier to sense the vapor with direct mouthfeel, at least better with hook I think, plus usually more enjoyable flavor and smooth temp step experience with these style unregulated, we'll see how u-turn is!

Mine arrived yesterday! Been messing around with it since, still trying to get cloudier hits, but probably just need to preheat a bit longer

First impressions:
Wow. I haven’t used a manual device since my MFLB so I wasn’t quite sure what I was in for, but everything from the tempo of the draw to the texture of the glass stem was instantly familiar and conjured vivid memories of wandering through the woods with my MFLB back in college. I went with a high heater and 2 glass stems (1 with beads and 1 without) but the nostalgic part of me is regretting that I didn’t grab a wooden stem to complete my old kit.
Does anyone know of a woodworker who might make a toad stem with a flat end like the old MFLB dart stems?
First session was with the plain glass tube, but before loading I spent several minutes just turning it over in my hand and admiring. Felt very soft and smooth like my Firewood 7, but with a much finer wood grain to the edges (think the wood in this one is cherry?). The vapour was very nice but a little unsatisfying, though about 2/3 of the way through I realised the screen was set too high. Slightly adjusting ~2mm towards the heater end fixed that, and got a nice roast before the flavour was too far gone for the last few hits.
Performance overall felt a little sluggish with the heater getting overpowered about 5 seconds into my draw every draw, but my batteries are about 18 months old so betting it’ll be a better once my new cells arrive next week. Breath control probably is also a factor since I felt no restriction whatsoever and was definitely hitting it like I’m used to with my Firewoods.
Tonight’s session is going to be with the second glass stem filled with beads and properly adjusted from go, should be a nice evening in the woods!

I think Dan recommended this at some point (using the low heater) : 7s preheat then 10s inhale for the first draw.
And then, you can do 6s preheat then 10s inhale. Repeat until you see no more vapor.
This has worked great for me.

Should be 6-7s preheat for low heater, 3s for high. I’ve been doing 3-6-6 (preheat-hold button-release button) with my high heater (gonna try 4-5-5 tonight), vs 6-6-6 with the low heat recommendation. Adding the link I received, the count timings start in image 2 and are the only captions for images 3+I think Dan recommended this at some point (using the low heater) : 7s preheat then 10s inhale for the first draw.

Going to try for some tonight! Had to pick the spouse up from the airport last night and the light was gone by the time we got home.
Edit: see photos below!
I’m doing mine a bit further up (~2mm again from the end) since my current strain is very fluffy to start but very quickly deflates so I need a bit more room for the start. Definitely going to need to fiddle around a bit until I find the perfect fit, but I prefer a bit of a gap at the end of my stem in a vain attempt to keep things semi clean.
I would advise placing the screen and flowers as close as possible to the radiator...
that's what I do in any case!
I hope so! Very glad I put a date on this set, I always forget to replace them.Good new batteries are a game changer...
you'll have another device when you install your new batteries next week
I think the true christening is going to be later in the month when I go back to my college town for a weekend trip. I’m very lucky to have lived within a short walk of at least one beautiful forested area basically my entire adult life, so every portable device gets the first session inside and most future sessions outside.A session in nature is the best thing to do to make your toad feel welcome
(I personally took much longer before I managed to get him out of the apartment!!)
At least for me I always like a recipe or formula for the first few sessions, then start to play with variables as I get used to it. Was definitely finding I didn’t strictly NEED to count the heated or cooldown inhale time, but the timing instructions really helped me figure out the proper tempo.
Solid advice though, I’m perpetually worried about combusting accidentally after the multiple times I’ve done that in my FW7 so I always err on the side of caution. I think after tonight I will probably just start using it by feel like you described now that I know what it’s capable of.
❤
Looking forward to hearing from all the other new Toad owners too, hopefully y’all are enjoying yours as much as I am! I never really got the pure convection hype until this device as someone who heavily gravitates towards hybrid and/or conduction devices. Not sure where this’ll fit in my rotation quite yet, but will certainly be joining my Firewood 9 as one of my regulars.
Edit: the photos!

It was called Wood Fired Pottery, but it definitely reminded me of moss/lichen encrusted wood so I picked the brown sleeve to emphasise that!@Octavia
I really like this model!!!
It reminds me of a swamp...
With the brown of the case, I'm in the Star Wars universe... I really like it
Great acquisition!!!
I wish I was lucky enough to get #158: Smokin’ Toad, that one was adorable! Looked very similar to Falconflys’ redone shell.
Also tried the longer preheat you suggested (6 count because somehow I always count 1 second faster than actual) and it worked very well, got a few nice clouds and a much quicker roast. Looking forward to the new batteries but I think I have a handle on these old cells now.
