I like the pellet idea. I might experiment with that myself. Seems like it'd be pretty simple to make a pellet press out of wood. Makes sense for the firewood because it works well tightly packed.
Thanks for the quick response to my email and posting it here for others. I actually wasn't aware it was limited edition. I ended up ordering the walnut color instead. Not a big deal, I like the walnut color as well.
I've been looking at the lotus for a while and think I finally talked myself into getting one. I probably would have ordered today but they are out of stock on the amaranth kits. What's annoying is that all the individual parts are listed in stock but not the kits haha. Oh well I'll keep checking.
I've been using my omega a lot again recently. I always seem to use mine at lower temps than most people say. 480 is my usual temp but I've been pushing it even lower. 440 still gives decent hits and I get much more sativa like effects. I am going to try even lower. I recommend trying it out if...
Edit: looking again this probably doesn't fix your issue but I'll still post it anyways.
This was my fix for the wobbly stem. I cut a piece of one of these silicone grommets and wedge it in there.

You can do the sandwich method (flower mixed in a bowl with concentrate). You can also send the dab straight through the ball vape if you don't mind cleaning your balls once in awhile 🤭. I've done both methods and it's fine, maybe slightly wasteful for your concentrates.
Best option imo is to...
I haven't been using the WPA that much actually. Mostly the native stem. I don't find water cooling to be necessary even at higher temps. Once I feel the hit start to get harsh that's when I let go of the button.
I've been doing 380 or 400 and I finish the bowl in 2 or 3 puffs usually.
I've been using the firewood pretty much exclusively since I got it. Really impressive device. It's nice to have a heavy hitter to use outside rather than always going to the ball vape in the garage lol.
I actually quite like the case. Makes for nice portable little kit. It comes with a poker tool you can store in the tag, and I found you can also put a scoop in there as well.
I just got it today. The bag is just slightly too small to fit the fw9 with the wpa attached. If you don't mind removing the wpa it fits well though. It would probably be a tight fit with that jhook in there as well.
I'm really liking these dhgate j-hooks with the fw9. Using a silicone 14-18mm adapter makes a solid connection.

Yeah I actually already had that pelican case for other purposes or I probably wouldn't use it. I'm looking at these small stash bags that claim to be smell proof.

I got mine yesterday just in time for the holiday. I have this pelican 1050 case that works pretty well for a stash case. I've used the firewood a couple of times and it's definitely got a bit of learning curve. I think I'm going to change the settings so it's 380/400/420 for low/med/high. 340...
I got the bowl option which was what I wanted anyways. I was in too much of a hurry to figure out how to include a battery so I just ordered a couple Molicel batteries from IMR. Now to look for a good smell proof case.
I'm right there with ya lol. Been refreshing the page the last 10 minutes and haven't seen anything.
Edit: Just got one right after I made this post actually
