If God is the answer, then the question is wrong
I got my poker too, 10 days agoGot my Fusion 2.0 Poker today, its really noice overall a very nice piece, i find that with the wand i get sesh mode, multiple heat ups overall a really nice sipper experience, im sure i could push it more but i havent bothered, i use a blazer big buddy torch and in a couple of heat cycles cook the whole bowl, great taste too, wish the poker was compatible with other tips, i would love to use my temptest with it as well xD
the wood is beautiful (tracwood) and the quality of finitions is up to vapman standards (swiss made perfection)
mine has a couple of very light impact marks on a side though, likely after manufacturing (shipping) but they are very small and I saw them after first use so i could nomore ask for a change but i am not bothered too much, it will get more impact marks as it will get ton of use
cooling is way better than any other dany stem (wood, or metal), starting from cold it gives very cool vapor
there is a metal lining almost the whole vaporpath but there is a spot where vapor and wood met and that is the only bad for me on an otherwise great accessory.
This spot is on a hot place, right down the tip, the bottom of the pit of the poker is bare wood, the exterior of the end of the stem also get some vapor contact (few millimiters) in the same point (under the tip)
Wood is smooth in that place so I can easily hot swap with cotton tips without cotton fibers getting stuck
other things that could be improved in my opinion:
- the tip is a little too low, recessed into the poker, if you abuse with flame you can char easily the top of the poker (did it once but very lightly and after polishing no marks left) so now the tip is one oring higher
- the stem could be longer and allowing natively for a drip-tip. Wood get “marked” by repeated saliva contact and I kind of dislike putting in my mouth a wood stick. I added a titanium vapman tip to the end, kept in place by silicon tubing and I am happy now with both more length and a removable tip
very happy customer here
