I've wanted a firefly as soon as they came out, mostly for the instant heat-up. But I held back because I felt the price was steep. I ended up buying an Arizer Air and then a Crafty before breaking down and ordering the Firefly 2.
After a week with the Firefly 2 I actually appreciate my Crafty a bit more. Specifically the effortless and relatively even vaporization per pack. The firefly on the other hand has a learning curve to getting decent hits. Tamping and grind need to be right or it won't go well, sort of like making espresso.
But when it's prepped right, I can see thy this thing has the reputation for delivering flavor. The entire first draw is usually a turpene bomb. From there I usually get 1-2 more decent hits before stirring is needed. After that point you get a toasty taste.
What the device didn't disappoint on is the heat-up time. It's great if I don't have time (or patience) to warm up the desktop. Battery life is also pretty good.

Nice portable vaporizer

I have experience with desktop convection units as well as several portable conduction and convection units. This is a nice device with a fairly steep learning curve. It's similar to using a desktop convection unit but will take some adjustment to get it working properly. The firmware update with power tuning is a must in order for it to work as intended. That isn't even an option and should be taken in to consideration when splurging on something like this. Also, the unit requires a dock in order to charge. That is easily the worst aspect of the design. How could this not have a USB port built in? You have to carry the additional battery (nice bonus) or the dock and cable in order to have more power. Regardless, I can't help but give this 5 stars based on the quality of the experience. If you're patient and use it how it was intended to be used, it's a great device.
