Oh guys, I'm coming to the end of my evening party in my first Fatx experience. :smug: And I want to say that Fatx is a crazy thing.

These are emotions, and tomorrow I will try to rationalize the advantages of the device.

….the capsule works perfectly!

So the Firewood X has definitely caught my attention (especially that I'm using flower these days not concentrate). I do have some questions though ....

There seems to be mention of a 1/2" bowl as well as the 3/8" bowl ... but don't see any mention of this on the Firewood site; so a little confused there. Does the FW X take capsules as well or have they gone back to their traditional non-capsule system only?

Thanks!

That's just one member's confusing way of talking about the shape of the bowl. Mine has no pronounced taper really at all.

Yes, thankfully it is very much like the FW7 bowl. I never wanted to mess with removable chambers or capsules so I skipped those.

I'd argue the person who makes the thing is more than merely a "member".
I have never seen Marc call anything "3/8 and 1/2 heating chambers." I have however seen one member talk a lot about their own experience with non-firewood dosing capsules .

They actually were mentioned earlier. I believe the initial FWX had the tapered oven chamber (3/8”?) and the current iteration has the straight chamber. Sounds like @WhyWhyWhy? asked for both chamber types to test out their capsule plan?

Was literally in the initial email early adopters got from Marc before the tapered bowl was ditched in favour of the current one, with early adopters being given the option to choose which one they wanted.

I stand corrected. So that one mentioned in the last few pages was one of those earlier bowls rather than a confusing way of talking about my non-tappered one. Thanks!

@JCat , sounds like you might be able to email Marc if you are looking to deviate from the current standard.

Just dug back through the thread and found the text of the oven size change email (not sure how to link to the post, but email text is quoted in the original post I’m quoting below):

Well it looks like the tapered bowl is no more. I just received this update from Marc regarding the FW X. I opted to wait for the change to be implemented.

:shrug: Hurtful. Do you really think that I came up with my names 3/8 and 1/2? If you don't know what the point is, ask me and I'll tell you what I meant. All the terms "3/8" and "1/2" are taken from correspondence with Mark. The 1/2 bowl is in the shape of an even cylinder, it is suitable for my capsule. The bowl is 3/8 tapering towards the bottom. for the first buyers, it was possible to choose the size of the bowl (heating chamber).

I took a comparative photo of 2 chambers (I bought them just in case) and attached a correspondence with Mark:

Also... I was planning on shipping it tomorrow, however I came up with a small last minute change over the weekend and I wanted to give you the choice to wait for that or get your order without the change.

The change is a small tweak to the bowl. I previously said that there would be a taper at the bottom of the bowl to make it easier to unload. I am now thinking it might be better not to have the taper. Basically the taper does seem to make it a little easier to empty however it also means that it uses a 3/8 inch screen instead of a 1/2" like the fw7 did. This seems to add a little bit of draw restriction and also makes the bowl a tiny bit smaller. In addition the screens don't fit as tight and can come loose initially.

I think the tapered bowl might be better for micro dosing, so that may be one reason to prefer the tapered bowl. Otherwise I'd recommend waiting for the un-tapered bowl, which I will be able to ship in a few days, and which will be the normal production version.

Please let me know what you'd prefer. If I don't hear from you I'll ship the un-tapered bowl in a few days.

Thanks,
Marc
