I'm on mobile so I can't see your signature. The MFLB is a conduction vape not a convection vape, I was specifically asking about convection vape usage in the past.Yes i have used a few , my last was the mflb. I have no problem using it and getting it to work properly , i just feel the taste is allot better from my other portables , not that the taste is bad but i don't see the wood taste fully dissipating. I am sure it will calm down after more use though. Also the hits are a bit hotter compared to most of my other vapes. I think i have the technique though pretty down pat as i am not new to this and have no problems achieving vapor. As you see in my signature i have a good amount of other brands to compare to , this is just my opinion.
True. I just didnt want to put too much strain on the components inside, that is if they are affected while the fw3 is charging.Modern NiMh cells have supposedly less memory effect. I wouldn't worry too much now that you can replace them when they are shot...
My mistake , yes i have a few convection and have no problem using them. I also have no problem using the fw3 and i think it is a good vape , just not my favorite in my lineup after using it.I'm on mobile so I can't see your signature.

Have you used convection vapes before? Most have a bit of a learning curve. I suspect your opinion of the FW will improve as you get the opportunity to learn it more. My initial impressions were quite favorable and as I've learned it more I've liked it more. I even successfully taught two of my friends who smoke how to use it and now both of them wanna switch primarily to vaping. Of course I introduced them to the plugged in log to learn the principle as I think it's easier in that with it having more power to it and being a bit more forgiving. Then the transition into the firewood was simple enough for them that they were both interested in vaping as a practical thing. Both had seen the volcano before and didn't view that as practical for their needs but learning to use a convection vape sold them on fucking combustion. And any vape that can convince dedicated smokers that vaping might be for them seems like a solid vape to me it's all about finding the technique that works best for you and for the vape. Once you find it you'll be in love. Or maybe convection isn't for you, but I'm glad you're giving it a try. Once the wood taste goes away its some of the best tasting vapor in a portable imo
Heat up time is about 10 seconds but i feel it takes about a minute to get some nice clouds out of the fw.
Initially it would take me a while to get appreciable vapor too, but at this point I can start getting clouds within 10-15 seconds after powering on, even at level 1... so keep practicing and you'll get that woody taste cleared out too! I think it only took a couple days of light-moderate use before it disappeared completely from my cherry Firewood; since then the flavor has been really great.not that the taste is bad but i don't see the wood taste fully dissipating [...] I think i have the technique though pretty down pat as i am not new to this and have no problems achieving vapor
Thanks , I am getting vapor about 10-15 seconds in but for me it really starts producing those large clouds about 3-4 hits in. Wondering how long you all are keeping your fw on at a time , i been typically doing about a 7-10minute session with it.Initially it would take me a while to get appreciable vapor too, but at this point I can start getting clouds within 10-15 seconds after powering on, even at level 1... so keep practicing and you'll get that woody taste cleared out too!

FW continues to completely satisfy my personal use needs!
I usually don't have it on for more than 2 minutes at a time. I microdose typically and with a nice slow long draw I can usually kill a capsule in 2-4 hits, more if I've packed it more of course. A night or two ago I was having a bit of trouble sleeping so I put some real good Tahoe OG in and had a slightly longer session and that was the most fun I've had tackling insomnia.Thanks , I am getting vapor about 10-15 seconds in but for me it really starts producing those large clouds about 3-4 hits in.

Yeah I think his product is outgrowing him and his current operation a little bit. I emailed him weeks ago asking questions about the capsule and have yet to get a response.Been almost a week now since I ordered my mouthpiece and still have yet to received it even though I live like only 200 miles away. marc needs to step up with his email responses . Worst part is I haven't been able to use my fw
Ooh, guess I should cool it on preaching the good word on this vape then I wanna order some more capsules soon and don't wanna be overwhelming him by talking his product up too much.Yeah I think his product is outgrowing him and his current operation a little bit.

You might want to contact marc. I wasn't having good results until he sent me a replacement.I've decided I am totally incapable of using a vape that requires any kind of learning curve. That's why I end up giving away some of the popular vapes like the vapman. I am using the FW daily and still don't get clouds unless I'm at 4 and then not much. I also don't see the coil lit. I know most of you are getting clouds at a 1 or 2 once you get used to it and I've given up on clouds. In spite of this I get adequately medicated and almost never cough even without water. In spite of everything it's a winner.
I ordered a couple of extra stems and they came in a little wood container. I like having all 3 loaded and ready to go- 1 in the fw and the other 2 in their container.
look at post #1689 in this thread did you try that?I've decided I am totally incapable of using a vape that requires any kind of learning curve.

I would def bump your temp up a few notches , I'd say try 3 or 4 up to start and than start your session on heat level 2 and give that a try . I did this day 1 of owning the fw and it helped allot.The fw gets pretty hot at 4 and becomes pretty hot to hold. Given this would it help to adjust the temp higher?
I'm reading in the thread a 5v@3a power supply is fine to power the unit but not charge the battery. Can someone tell me if that method would apply to version 2.0? If so, is the electric still flowing through the battery or taking another route to heat the coil.
Thanks !
I actually have a power supply that was meant for my FW 2.1. I bought a couple off of Marc when I used the 2.1 exclusively. I have yet to try this power supply in my 3.0 though, but I also have read that it will work. Right now I just keep the thing charged all the time. I'm going to get another FW 3.0 so I can rotate them between charges.
