I heard he moved to hawai and surfs now instead of building vapes
I can't say if you should do it or not, but I only know of one person who has taken their vape outside of Australian borders, and he lost his mighty and is on year 4 of his 10yr ban from entering the US. I've read online of others doing it and succeeding, but don't see too many stories of it failing so thought I should give a hint of what *could* happen.

Unfortunately FW7 is not a vape that I would choose for travel as it cannot be completely cleaned of resin. I’ve travelled with my Tinymight with no issues as only the glass mouthpiece / cooling unit requires cleaning.

Thanks for your opinions guys... yeah that kind of confirms what I thought... it's -completely- difficult to clean...
in fact I'm moving this summer... from France to Canada...
So my options are:
- separate myself from my FW7 for a month and a half and put it in a container on a boat... but it can just as well be spotted by dogs...
- make it travel by plane, in the hold... dogs are always a possibility... as well as an employee who would like the Fw7...
- take it in my backpack... with the risk that it won't go through customs at the airport...
-thinking about it, I could also pay 40€ and send it to me by mail... always with a risk...
hmm... difficult choice!!!
If others have cleaning techniques, I'm a taker...
and if you have any opinions on my options - without derailing this thread - I'm interested too!
Happy vaping!!!

I'd personally ship it to myself. Maybe even go a bit fancy and use a reputable courier like DHL. Best thing is, if caught? "Sorry, no idea what that is or why it was sent to me".

To paraphrase Captain Ed Hocken from The Naked Gun...
"The Firewood 8 has a 50/50 chance of being released....but, there's only a 10% chance of that"
I'm sure it will be coming, but none of us can guess when he'll be ready to roll it out. Patience is all we can muster for now.

Everything is 50/50. It either happens or it doesnt.
Did have a few semesters of data science to arrive at that conclusion.

Has he actually publicly announced any release date for the 8? Cos he may just be taking a well earnt break...?

Not that I’ve seen. No delays cause no release date. Just anticipation from the well deserved success of the 7.
Sweet. I hope he's taking a break, the dude must've been working like a one-legged man at an arse kicking competition.

I do wish marc was a little more active in the community. I know this isn't his whole life, and he probably loves privacy, but it'd be cool if he could do some updates here and there about what's going on.
Kinda just feels like he's this robot entity that makes really amazing vapes lol

He was pretty active when the fw7 first dropped. I spoke to him on here and that's what finally sold me on it.

And that's awesome, you love to see it! However, that was what now, almost 2 years ago? The only time I've talked to Marc is through email, which he is very cordial, but also very short with his words lol.
I'd just love to see him pop up around more!
I'd argue the opposite, the info is out there in the community, and the community is active. Barring any kinda issue with a unit, I'd rather he spent time making rather than socialising.

Not socializing, updating.

Let's be real. A quick little pop in now and then, which probably would take 5 minutes tops, would not pose any real impedance on him making the vape... If that was the case, we'd be on the FW10 by now
Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't see anything wrong with encouraging community interaction. Either he does it or not and that's all there is to it lol

I mean, it easily can be just 5 mins tops. Either way, certainly not enough time to actually impede on making a vape....
"And what updates does there need to be?"
Well for one, potential release dates? Or quite literally ANYTHING that the community could put input on to make the vape better. Or just getting a general idea of where the vape is at and what to start getting excited for. Not sure why this has to be an argument (or debate, or whatever non-confrontational thing you wanna call it), community interaction is almost never a bad thing. Whether he does so or not is up to him, but I don't see the point in rooting for him to not interact with us more lol

I have to agree with this. If you go back through the thread you can see that in the past Marc posted here much more often. His posts would include long descriptions of what he was working on, photos, his ideas on what was going to happen next, technical explanations, and the like. And whenever he posted he would be inundated with countless questions, requests for clarifications, etc.. When that happens he is faced with a choice: respond to everyone and lose a lot of production/rest of his life life time to forum activity or don't respond and come off as non-responsive.
I enjoy hearing from him here as much as anybody and I am just as anxious as anyone else to see the FW8. But I'm fine if, for whatever reason, he doesn't post as often as he used to. He hand-builds an outstanding device and provides stellar, second-to-none customer service when it is needed.
We've proven time and again that we can keep each other happily amused while we're "waitin' for the man".
So, who's got those wacky stories about being strip-searched in an airport while trying to travel with a vape?
