These temps are way better. Thanks all.
I live in a legal state and flower is pretty cheap these days. I don’t really feel the need to extract every last molecule and would take flavor all day long. But yeah you’re spot on about the overcook. It would come out just a few shades away from combusting and I think was starting to. But at 320 I was getting great flavorful clouds that were “full” enough for me. Didn’t even bother going to second setting (340).
), and even Marc from the shop couldn’t help. That’s when I had to bite the bullet and ask Michael from @GoodVibesBoro if he could cancel the stem, as my FW9 dreams were on ice.
It didn't take long and Michael contacted me, the package had been returned to him without further explanation. But he didn't give up and sent the package to me again.
I feel like it's the kind of thing I could just make... if I were a little better with wood... I'm not So had to order another one from the US where the shipping is more expensive than the damn plug.
I'm not at all surprised by Gvb's attitude, the guy is awesome and his stems too!I find that so incredibly nice of him, you don't experience something like that every day. Thank you Michael, you are the best!
Wow…That’s good to know that prepaid cards work! Thanks!
Totally awesome he was able to give you that EMK too
Mine's the bowl version; I just pack it tight and hold it end-up, either hand:There's just one thing I can't quite get to grips with yet: How do you hold the thing in your hand? At the moment I hold it like I'm trying to whistle through my fingers, but that somehow feels unnatural:
Actually, I would like to grip it in my fist, like a TM, but then I'm afraid that the herb will fall out of the capsule.

Strange, I couldn't order the fw9 either. Tried 3 different bank cards but none of them went through and I've used all of them for all sorts of purchases without any problems ever. I thought then it might have something to do with the webshop service that the firewood site uses, Shopify, and that it had different options for restricting cards for different countries. I'm in eu, not Switzerland. Not sure though! Never had problems with international purchases before. And Marc couldn't help me either. But I was lucky and found one here! I maybe should have bought a stem first like you did, took me several months to get mine. Not that I minded waiting thoughAll my cards got rejected (I thought Swiss credit cards were appreciated everywhere?
Michael then suggested that I transfer the money to him and he would buy the FW for me and send it to me together with the stem.
Exactly how I hold mine usually! Feels very natural. But I do sometimes like to hold it same as picture from @El Duderino , feels like holding a pipe then and feels nostalgicMine's the bowl version; I just pack it tight and hold it end-up, either hand:
I think paypal brings other headaches. Rules that mess with sellers/shop owners if they don't follow completely for example. Maybe this is why bitcoin will be next form of payment globally?
Thanks!Glad to hear you found one, congrats!
That is really dope, super nice of him great seeing the community going above and beyond hope you have been enjoying itOk, here's my FW9, my stem from @GoodVibesBoro and a story.
Grab your favorite vape, this will be long:
I’ve been itching to get a Firewood 9 for ages, as my collection of regulated vapes is looking a bit bare. Then I spotted a stem for the FW9 on goodvibesboro.com and snapped it up instantly – even before I owned the actual vape! I was too scared someone else would grab it.
So, now I had the perfect excuse to buy the FW9. But then the fun and games began. All my cards got rejected (I thought Swiss credit cards were appreciated everywhere?
Michael then suggested that I transfer the money to him and he would buy the FW for me and send it to me together with the stem. No extra charge, and this is a guy who barely knows me. I was blown away - and full of gratitude, I accepted his offer.
Shortly afterwards Michael informed me that he had now received my FW9 and he sent it to me together with the stem and his personal (!) 18mm Killer (he even sold me his own EMK because they were out of stock!) to Switzerland.
Then the nightmare started. When the tracking informed me after a few days that the package had been delivered, I was a bit surprised - I don't even live in Massachusetts?
A few days later the same crap: USPS was doing USPS things and sent the package back to the sender again without explanation. Michael was a champ though - and sent the package to me a third time!
Tracking it was absolutely nerve-wracking by now and Michael and I were about to give up when the tracking reported that the package was back in his hometown for the. fuxkn. third. time! USPS was hell-bent on making sure I didn't get this damn package. This was really tedious now, as Michael now had to see how to get rid of the FW and get my money back. I really felt so sorry for him: so much effort, so much kindness, without him earning anything - and all for nothing. But then, a few days later, the tracking status changed again and the package actually left the state - why, we had no idea, but the main thing is that the thing is on its way.
And indeed, over 1 month after Michael sent the package for the first time, it actually landed in Switzerland with me. You can't imagine how grateful I am to Michael. Even though he doesn't know me and I'm not a special customer and he hardly earns anything from this package, he went to all this trouble, sent a package three times and even talked to VGoodiEZ about how best to declare it to make sure it'll make its way over the pond.
I find that so incredibly nice of him, you don't experience something like that every day. Thank you Michael, you are the best!
So, show some love to @GoodVibesBoro. They deserve it. Just please don’t ask Michael to ship a vape to Europe. I think he’s had enough for a lifetime.
Oh, and the FW9 paired with the GVB stem? After one bowl: Pure vaping bliss.
