    FW9 charging up for first bowl! FW8 was my DD since it came out, this was mostly an aesthetic upgrade for me, plus habit, I've been here since FW3. While it's not much smaller than 8, the single block of walnut LOOKS smaller, simpler, prettier, it's a FW7 with usb-c, tuned up heater, and a...

    Firewood Vaporizer

    Hey All, marc@firewoodvapes worked for me, Marc is clearly slammed and slow to reply, but will reply, and yes, is honoring the offers he made earlier for FW8 customers, my order is in (for a new unit, I'll find a new home for my 8). For me, the FW7 was a perfect design, simple and beautiful...

    My first PCKT2's auto-draw stopped working, sale is for my unopened, new-in-box replacement unit, in currently out-of-stock Golden Gate color. Original continued working in button-activated mode, but I've since moved on to using the simpler VRTCL and don't need. Testing before this listing...

    You should stay on the fence, then, it’s ok. FW8 is still in the process of coming out, wait list still waiting, and only a fraction have gone to people who are compelled to talk about it on the internet. Reddit, especially, needs a bigger mass of voices for an opinion to feel established...

    I hear you, there are rules to learn. I’ve gotten in trouble multiple times forgetting <cough> to wait for the second buzz, so the heater has to heat extra (which is strong like a turbo’d Milaana, maybe good for water?). “Second buzz and go” has been powerful and consistent for me. I get the...

    Happy Group B FW8 owner checking in. To the folks wondering if this is a sideways upgrade: it is not, the FW8 is a clear upgrade in power/ease-of-use over the FW7. I think of it in terms of convection vaping, where pulling vapor is kinda like pulling taffy; you get your material to the right...

    Firewood Vaporizer

    All these points are awesome and 100% correct. Aesthetics are the only weakness - some extra rounding would help, a longer battery compartment would help, all cherry or all walnut would help, anything to remove details, just too many details. BUT small size, excellent materials, and build...

    Firewood Vaporizer

    I’ve been soaking Firewood ceramic parts in iso for as long as there have been Firewood ceramic parts, for 5-60 minutes depending on my attention span, then air drying them quickly and putting them right back to use (low temp surfer, so 320-380 degrees). Sometimes, like when iso was hard to...

    Another from Group B, even got my invoice already! I sold my FW7 back in March, paying for most of my Early Adopter Special, and have just been coasting on live resin carts since. Looking forward to a return to flower w the best heater design around!

    To be extra fair, this also illustrates how much value there is in the small-batch vape makers. Pax’s are mass produced (in China?) and individual units are cheap to the company. Most of the cost of the Pax is for the bigger company behind it, and replacing faulty units is way easier/cheaper...

    Sounds like a reasonable choice considering what you already have, waiting on a prettier FW. But not sure what you are expecting on the heater? The hybrid heater was a huge leap forward, all the benefits of convection and conduction vapes w none of the drawbacks, what changes would you want to...

    Hope your 7 comes back! (Probably will, lots of iso for the ceramic/glass, iso plus time and use for the wood) This seems like the vape equivalent of undisclosed flood damage in a used car. If this came through fc classifieds, let the community know, s’not cool.
