Nice to connect the dots! lol at least you dont have to repost your story here now

@BrianTL Im using the stock small MP and the air leaks are there
Right. And it wasn't easy cutting those little slots, so there was clearly thought behind it.If it is an air inlet and you blocked it, it would probably affect the default temperature calibration.
I haven't received mine yet, but I don't want to believe it's an air intake directly to the electronicsIf it is an air inlet and you blocked it, it would probably affect the default temperature calibration.

I thought so too, but the posts seemed a bit different. I could be wrong though @Chingas is that you?
The air, at least as it seems to me, is coming through the battery compartment.Wasn't me but I saw that thread too. For funsies I just taped over those 2 openings and covered the 4 inlets and it is the same results. FWIW I don't think any air is flowing through those 2 openings and over the circuit board.
I see. Still waiting on mine, so was having problems visualizing this. So the idea is, because the battery door isn't airtight (because it's wood), a small amount of air could make it past those gnarly looking electronics? I'm again wondering how big of an issue this is when fully assembled.
Thanks. Same sort of idea though. Because it’s not possible to make a sliding wood door airtight, some air could pass over those electronics vents in use... I just think “in use” are the operative words here.The side in the picture is not the battery door side, it is the other side btw, for mouthpiece
I believe that these two small rectangles are for ventilation of the board, but it seems, from the descriptions there is a passage from here to the bowl, if I understand correctly.Air inlet was probably the wrong word, I just mean if the routing has already been accounted for in the design, then blocking it could potentially affect the temperature calibration.
And that’s just going off what someone above mentioned regarding the airflow, I’m not very familiar with this vape other than noticing that owners seem to really be loving it.

I’m speaking out of my butt though since I don’t have my unit yet. Hopefully it’s not an issue though. In my light research for a backup portable to compliment the 7, I realized nothing really checks all the boxes the Firewood does. I just want a clean vapor path box checked as well.
^this^When in proper use, I just do not see any issues here. No one should be blowing vapor back up through, and when you do all these air intake hole covering tests, you are essentially doing a mod to do these tests... Yes sliding door hard to be air tight, various other openings in the build, but depending on usage I don't think there's any problem.
I haven't looked at the board, but I see what looks like the same two chips in that photo of the slots. It could be that those chips get a bit toasty and the slots are just to keep them from touching the wood.
