The LimeLight Frolic is perhaps the most anticipated dry herb vaporizer of the year.
This vape aimed high and made big promises.
Since this vape is extremely new, I am conducting a live review of the Limelight Frolic. This page and the video will be continually updated as my testing progresses. Please consider this review a work in progress. I’m still in my honeymoon stage with this vape.
First Look Video
This is a non-Youtube-friendly video. YT will have to wait, in addition to missing all the good stuff. Please consider supporting my efforts on Patreon. I am a professional reviewer dedicated to providing objective coverage of our emerging vaporizer scene. Many vaporizers, including the Limelight Frolic, do not offer an affiliate program as a means of support, and Patreon helps fund new vapes to review.
LimeLight Frolic Vaporizer Rating
It’s still very early in the review process, so please take all of these scores with a grain of salt. I typically test vaporizers for many months before settling in on these scores, but I’m going to try a web-first approach with this vape.

Build Quality
The Frolic feels great! The beige parts are made of PEEK plastic, and the black parts are also made of PEEK, but they look and feel like metal. The vape feels heavy in the hand and is solid. It could be used as a blunt-force-trauma murder weapon for sure!
The vape is made of metal and PEEK plastic. The Frolic has a Stainless Steel heater, and the top and bottom are also thick metal. The round cap that holds the cooling unit together is made of metal, and the bottom plate is also metal.
Overall, the Frolic feels very well made. This feels nicer than Storz & Bickel. It’s rugged, feeling like the TinyMight, but engineered and tactical.
Bowl Access & Interface
The Frolic’s cooling unit pulls off to reveal the bowl and removable battery. It takes some wiggling and force to remove the cooling unit. It’s not a problem, but I could see where it may be a problem for some. The grippable area on each side of the bowl is quite small. I struggle a bit removing it, but the performance makes me overlook the struggle.
Software & Controls
The Frolic has both On-Demand and Session mode. The bottom screen displays the mode, the set temperature, and the timer. On-demand mode and session mode displays are slightly different from each other.
Press both the PLUS and MINUS buttons simultaneously to adjust the mode and temperature.
While in On-Demand mode, the heater is only activated when the power button is held. It takes about 5 seconds to heat up. The LED will light orange while the heater is heating, and it will turn green when the heater is ready. The Frolic will also vibrate.
I found the screen and controls slightly confusing at first, but quickly figured everything out.
Vapor Quality & Potency
The Frolic is a cloud factory. It chucks vapor with ease and there’s no sacrifice on the flavor.
This vape has a vapor signature that’s fluffy, similar to the Storz & Bickel Venty, but the Frolic is much more potent. The Frolic hits like the Tinymight 2 or the Tafee Bowle 2. This vape has massive power and excellent flavor.
The cooling unit does a great job of cooling the vapor down. I’ve cranked it up to 428°F and can still take big lung-buster hits.
Battery Life
It’s too soon to know what kind of battery life I’m getting. My Frolic arrived mostly charged. I vaped 6 bowls with it and it was reporting 50% charge.
I’ve since charged it and am counting my bowls. It appears that the Frolic is capable of delivering 10-15 bowls per charge, depending on its usage.
Current Thoughts
WOW, this vape is blowing me away. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a new portable vape this much.
A few days ago, I was worried that a different, new, unnamed vaporizer would be hogging all of my attention and that the Frolic would get neglected… now I’m afraid it will be the other way around!
Those who pre-ordered the Frolic will be rewarded with a fantastic vaping experience.
This vape will be one of the top 5 best portable vapes.

Please compare it to the TM2 and Tafée Bowle 2!
DEFINITELY
This device is amazing and the build quality will far exceed anything out there. I own several limelight products and they are up there above everything.
That is so great to hear. I don’t have any other Limelight products, but I’m so in love with this Frolic
super fuggin awesome and psyched!!! the time has finally come!!! ❤️️ I’ve been so excited for this vape and your first look reactions and fiddlin with it has definitely confirmed my interest… I had an inkling it was gonna be like as if Storz & Bickel and Tinymight had a baby – this would be the result lol. It seriously looks great tho… Didn’t realize it also had an airflow control feature practically in the mouthpiece, so I’m definitely gonna love playin with that to find the sweet spot restriction for proper optimum vapor density. Surprised you didn’t try On-Demand, but I see your saving that for the next video (I’d probably be using it in On-Demand at higher temps for top performance per hits with preheats if/when needed, with ability to break in-between hits, especially if big and coughing)… the performance looks pretty great so far tho and looks super promising. This is absolutely gonna be my next vape purchase and can’t wait to be able to get one of these in my hands!!! You can even hear the heating when close to the mic, just like the Tinymight and a few others, and was interesting hearing the heating revving difference… I fuggin need one so bad Anyways, great first look and super pumped to see the upcoming content about this and your following vids (and I’m sure the great upcoming Think Dank episode coming when you both can try it out and hot box it up live)… Off to an awesome start – looks like Limelight is gonna be a success and have people clamoring for theirs…! Keep the juicy content rollin Troy, this is one a lot of us have been waitin for…. ✊️❤️
I’ve been using it exclusively in on-demand ever since shooting the first video, oddly enough. It heats up very fast.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about a new vaporizer
Thanks for the awesome first impressions Troy !!
Thanks for creating such an amazing device Liam!
I’ve been loving mine so far, really powerful heater and the heat up time is crazy… 5 seconds to 220 in session mode
Great to hear I’m not the only one loving this vape!
