I picked up one of those cases you linked in green and have much preferred it over the one I had, and everything fits in it JUST right. I was carrying it today even.
I also decided to pick up one of those little pouches that
@PizzaWizard posted about. I got a burgundy one and it does fit the 9 well when using the og stem. I have also removed the stem and stored it in the pouch with the wpa laying on top. I have to carry a mini Jhook separately, but will go through the hassle when I have the time to settle back and enjoy. The hits are much cooler than using the native stem, but OG is the only way it fits in the pouch. I replaced the metal poker with a wooden toothpick to avoid scratches. I also throw a little plastic scoop in there and have everything I need.
My only worry with the pouch is the zipper. I can see that they needed to use something different to keep odor out, but I'm not sure of the quality or how long it's going last. The zipper gets a little catchy and seems flimsy.
I am definitely enjoying my FW9 very much. It is winning the reach test over everything else rn because it's such a fun new toy, and I love the flavor and experience you get on low temp settings. I may end up liking the capsule set-up better. The capsule plug is much easier to use than the funnel and plug version, and is more secure. I can see how the capsule version would be more involved if someone was using it on the road, but mine never leaves the front porch.
I find when loading and tamping the capsule, there is little chance that any herb is going to fall out when loading and it easily drops right in the heater coil. Afterwards, I just tip it over so the capsule drops on a drink coaster. In a pretty short amount of time, it's cool enough to touch and blow the abv out. Tho I am really liking packing whole nugs in there lately.
I initially thought the hapatic interface was going to be a hassle, but it's amazing how intuitive it becomes. I cycle through the settings no problem. I can't wait to try some old school hash with it. I bet it's going to shine. My TM2 is like, hey...remember me? Don't worry Tiny, this guy's gonna platoon with you.
I glad I have an 18650 charging system going to keep these guys well-fed.
