Yeah, long, but totally appreciated, thank you, and I was having a blip of VAS for the SBJ so the comparison was very useful, you saved me a lot of reading, back to happily waiting patiently for Marc to do his thing. Ordered a Crafty glass mouthpiece so I'll be ready to mangle my cooling unit for slightly different form factor, too.
Maybe for next video, consider collecting questions beforehand, then you can start w/ those questions and move into a q&a, keeps things tighter.

What're the price points for these?
Edit: And how's the battery life doing? It's the major flaw in the FW3, IMO, followed by hard draw, and the battery swap ( which I'm loving the solution for ).

Still in development - we just know of the one beta unit in @paytonpenn 's videos - but looking like we'll know everything in a few weeks.
I don't think of the battery life as the major flaw, I was able to get 3-4 bowls per charge on mine and that suit my use. Also, it's about the same as all the other convection portables - FireFly2, Grasshopper, Milaana - tho they are all much quicker to swap. Time will tell if the new battery and software yield more bowls for the average user, but the FW4 swaps faster than the Grasshopper so it's at least as good as our other choices.
I sold my FW3 b/c I'm using my Milaana full time - the Milaana is a little less easily efficient, and no automatic temps, but fast and intuitive with a strong log-vape sig. I've missed the form factor and interface of Marc's design, really excited for the smaller/faster FW4. If it's anywhere close to the Milaana signature - and FW3 was really close, just slower - then the extra features will be sweet.

I like sipping over an evening, so FW4 is a huge improvement over the FW3; power anxiety sucks.

Ah, yeah I like to vape a bowl and be done for awhile, so different power profiles. Capacity-wise it's only a 25-50% increase if you compare the FW3s 2000mah to the 2500-3000mah of the high-drain 18650s. But the faster heat up/software updates could increase your sips between swaps, too.

Not to mention the battery swap. One can have 3-4 18650s and stay perpetually topped up at any given time. Hell, I think it makes it a viable camping vape too.

Anyone know what size screens the firewood capsules use? Is it the same size for both screens? I have used the same couple capsules since I got it and I'm gonna need some screens, can't really figure out what size haha. Thanks

Not sure the screen sizes but unless you outright lost em, hold with SB tweezers or throw in a Pyrex and torch em up! Splash of water to rinse ash, torch flash to evap water, good as new!

Sigh...Last time I checked this thread the 4 was at an earlier and much less refined design stage with a kind of bulbous swelling on one side that all you guys hated. This is a completely different and totally lustworthy creature. My life is suddenly incomplete. I was gonna buy a backup Milaana, but now...

I do this to stretch my stuff sometimes, and definitely when I get bored of the same flavor for a few months! Come on, guy, get a couple varieties.

Greetings FW people...
I just learned about this vape (looking toward the FW4, but reading up on the FW3).
Currently have Grasshoppers and Pax2... the FW looks like it could make the Hopper my on-the-go vape, while being a nice around-the-house vape.
Would I be right to assume that the FW has more chamber-space and more battery time? Or is there no appreciable difference here?
Thanks!

Hey @JoeMama, I'd say better battery life but smaller chamber. I'm not sure if that's really an issue or not. The FW3 does the job. Pax 2? Totally out of the league of the GH and the FW3 in my opinion (but I may be harsh on that, the Pax2 just seems like a higher tech MFLB to me).

@paytonpenn hey man, now that you've had the unit for a while. Care to share some more thoughts about it that you have? If you have noting new to say than don't bother. But I'd love to read a review, or just your thoughts on the unit after having it for a while.

@namasteIII I'll see if I can't make an Introduction video today. I'll have the transcript posted before the video.

Could you compare the vape quality to any of the vapes in your collection ? FW3 and the grasshopper I am very curios to know about

I haven't read it in a while but its a lot of typing I don't really want to do again. At least over the 3.0.

I think i am in for a 4 , had the 3 awhile back and my biggest issue was battery life , looks like this was taken care of and it happens to be a nicely crafted vape.
@paytonpenn around how many hits do you average off a fully packed capsule and at what temp ? Also if your model finished walnut or unfinished ? , What batteries have you tried ? I know you need 18650's with a 20amp discharge i believe.
