I haven’t replaced my screen yet, but I have removed it once for cleaning. Just take off the lid and the mouthpiece or WPA from the other side, then push the screen from that side and it will come out of the side you load flower into.

If that doesn’t make sense, push from the mouthpiece side toward the battery side.

There’s nothing but the screen’s own outward pressure holding it in from that side, so it should come out fairly easily. Once it’s out you should see the little lip that keeps it from going all the way through, and you’d push the new (or cleaned) screen down to that point.

I’d just clean the screen with alcohol and rinse it with water and it should be about as good as new. :)

If you prefer you can also just heat it up empty and run some air through it, then soon after it vibrates on the cool down you can clean the bowl/screen out with a brush and/or q-tip or something and it should get a lot of the stuff out.

VW got you covered above, easy to swap, though I've never had to, mine is pretty self cleaning, a couple times I've iso q-tip swabbed the screen a bit, and once it did come out for a proper full cleaning...

Yeah, I've been following the Firewoods for a while. Dont' know how I missed the excitement on this one. I'm assuming the original stem must have been a lot worse. I don't remember a lot of great reviews when it first came out ... but then all of a sudden everyone was getting one. It's not quite any instant-on Crafty, but it's pretty darn close

Oh no, I think most of us were raving about this from the get-go, thankfully I was able to use my beta with the WPA very comfortably until the standard design evolved, firewood always a little under the radar is all!

I got my FW7 today.
The device is built very nicely and the wood is really nice. Now I have to test a little longer :sherlock:
My first 2 hits at the highest level were very good. it is very different from other vaporizers, my first impression is.

But I wonder whether it will go off itself after the draw or whether you have to press something to switch it off completely ?

does anyone know which glass adapters are suitable for the WPA?

I don’t think it can be turned off completely without removing the battery, but I don’t think it draws enough power to worry about when it’s not being used.

The WPA is made for 14mm male glass connections. A lot of use a 14mm male to 14mm or 18mm male adapter to connect to glass with female connections, but any 14mm male piece should work.

Yeah the heater shuts off when you stop pressing the button, second vibration for the cool down, and it may still be cooling down after that so I keep drawing until vapor fully subsides to properly clear it after each hit... No power is being drawn when the heater is not active, but yeah you might want a case or something if you are concerned about the button getting pressed accidentally in a pocket or something? Glad you're enjoying!

I think I've mostly retired my 14mm/14mm male adapter in favor of the starry wpa... Mostly cause jhook fits in hand nicely . :sherlock:

Tried the WPA with a jhook and had a great experience. I’ll try it on a bong later but really just enjoy the stock setup. Closest I’ve come to my combustion pipe carrying days...and I mainly only use the stock 1&2 setting depending on strain.

my last 2 sessions were not that great from the experience because I hardly got any steam at the highest level.

I have to work on my drawing technique, whether faster or slower.
yesterday i got a lot more steam, even if not as much as with other devices.
but I still like it, it's a nice device

Try longer. I can get a lot of vapor from a slow draw, but I can get it from a faster draw - even if I start before it’s up to temp - as long as it’s long enough. Vapor production seems to ramp up, probably as the ceramic gets more fully heat soaked.

If you can’t draw long enough, you can pre-heat a bit longer before drawing. That will leave the vapor path dirtier, and if you hold too long without drawing you’ll scorch the edges of the load, but it should get you more vapor faster.

You can also try through glass. Even a j-hook, but I think especially a bubbler can pull out some clouds and they’re more comfortable than they’d be native.

I hope that helps you get your next session back on track. :)

Saw this on Reddit and it looks interesting. I'm not sure how it works since the website is kind of vague. However, the specs include nichrome wire so I'm guessing it's convection based. It's being sold through Etsy so it's probably just someone's hobby. Priced at $100.

actually that is the Firewood 7, all wood and yes handmade, not by me but the price is a little off. It is $225, just was there from your link but STILL a nice unit. I think The Great White North Vaporizer Co did a short video on it and I do woodworking and I was impressed with the craftsmanship. I SWEAR I am NOT the dudes cousin or something, but it IS a really nice unit

Your username suits you well

Edit - anybody see the loading funnel he added to the FW page? Well, only the 3-D printer schematics are on there, but they're free

First go with the WPA and my OGB corncob. Hits are excellent, I just don't like the messy fit of that bulbous glass adapter from Amazon. If it was a 14mm male j-hook it'd be pretty elegant. Still need to beeswax the FW WPA.

Also I agree with @Vaporware that longer draws are the most impressive and where the FW really shines. It's akin to wattage mode on the Splinter Zs insofar as the stored heat ramps up and you can, intentionally or not, let a massive hit creep up on you. And like @someTooL I seldom need the three buzz heat setting to extract fully enough for me.

@Shit Snacks and @BrianTL were right that the FW7 is an instant hit, as it were, for someone with my tastes in on demand portables

Really regretting not ordering one of these when I had the chance! I stumbled into the vaping world earlier this year and almost bought one of these as my first vape (it was in my cart and I didn't pull the trigger,) but I didn't know enough about how things work or what I really wanted out of a vape to go for it. After reading through some of this thread, the FW7 looks like a winner.

I've noticed that I'm somewhat sensitive to hotter vapor, and I find the convection vape I own (HR fury edge) to be irritating. My current daily driver is a simrell vortex, which I enjoy using native. I don't own any glass pieces, and given the stealthy nature of the FW7, I would plan to use it native as well. Will the stock glass stem run cool enough for me?

Hard to say, the edge is not pure convection, it is session hybrid with conduction, although not as much conduction as FW7 perhaps... FW7 of course has a bit of convection as well, but it is instant on demand instead of session style so it is much faster and more powerful! So greater efficiency plus simpler more pure materials used resulting in better flavor too!

So yeah the vapor quality will be better for you, but it is still going to be an adjustment, and depend how you use it... Point being, yes the stock set up with the new cooling stems is pretty great, and can control the harsh heat effectively even with full extraction...

We still recommend getting the WPA as well though, so you can connect it to glass j hooks and other pieces including water rigs, more versatility and more cooling options!

Don't beat yourself up too bad for going with the edge as your first instead of the firewood, you were so young and naive then! ;) haha and welcome to FC btw!

Thanks! Yeah, I think the FW7 being a more heavy hitter will help. I don't have an outrageous tolerance but I just want to get the job done while sucking up as little hot, dry air as possible :)

(Definitely plan on getting the WPA with it anyway!)

Yeah it is very efficient with small loads too, can definitely go for as little hot air as possible here, and the temp control allows you to control the power very effectively! I love to ride the low temps, I am still using mine at 310-340-370 and have even less frequent heavy hits where I choke myself lol

I should try a lower range like that since I hardly use the high temp it comes with and get massive clouds on low.

@oldbay I agree with @Shit Snacks and find the stock stem surprisingly effective. The FW7 is a heavy hitter and it's unlikely you'd be disappointed.

I went to the website I mentioned but I guess Sneaky Pete got HIS channel deleted by the sweetness that is utube, but there is still a small article on the Great White North Vape Co website that utube could not censor. By all.
