Hi All, hadn’t logged in or checked firewoodvapes.com in awhile, so I’m very happy to see a new Firewood, time to early-retire my 5! Does anybody know how often & what time Marc updates stock on the store?

Just a dude
@hippogriff as I understand it, Marc will be filling orders from the list in small batches and after all of those orders are satisfied, he will then turn to making them available from his shop online. If that’s the situation, I think it’s going to be a while before someone can buy the FW6 online. But what do I know? Nuthin’ that’s what.

I don’t think he’s officially closed the list either, so worth dropping him an email if you’re interested.
That’ll also mean you’re included the next time he sends out the surprise-drop email

On the list, looks like I have a couple months to wait, I’ve been in since Firewood 3, love the support we get from Marc.
Here is the wording of the order:
The products prohibited from sale and display are:
The key part is the part I made bold "Vape products are any product intended for human consumption by inhalation", which seems to exclude dry herb (or devices used to vape dry herb) because dry herb is not made to be inhaled by vaporization like oils are. So it seems dry herb vapes are not part of the ban.- All non-flavored and flavored vaping products, including mint and menthol; and products used to vape tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and any other cannabinoid
- Vape products are any product intended for human consumption by inhalation, regardless of nicotine content, whether for one-time use or reusable, that relies on vaporization of aerosolization, including but not limited to e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, vape pens, hookah pens, and other similar devices that rely on vaporization or aerosolization. This includes any component, part or accessory of these products or devices defined, even if sold separately.

I received my FW6 today. Looks-wise it’s beautiful. First, I can answer a few of the questions posed if helpful. The mouthpiece tube looks very similar in diameter and thickness to the FW5. It can be removed for cleaning, as can the bowl too.
Other observations are that mine seems to not be working properly, or it may need adjustments to match the performance of my FW5. I was getting little to no vapor or extraction using different draw speeds. I reached out to Marc to see what’s going on.
One point of confusion (or possibly the issue) is that temp ranges stated in the manual were a lot lower and different from the FW5, and were overall rather confusing as they had gaps in between them, and were only 10 degree ranges. Hopefully there’s an easy explanation to provide for these.
I’m also finding the slider to be kind of a pain to use, but it may just be a learning curve issue. Hope my issues are an anomaly!

I've seen the slider but what does it do? Haven't watched peytons vid yet

It slides from 3 different positions: one to allow the device to open, in the middle to use, and the 3rd position to lock the device closed with no function (for travel).
To clarify it’s just kinda hard to slide and takes two hands to do it, at least for me/mine.

Sounds good to me. It's hard to slide? I guess that's good. Done want it going off unintentionally. Seems sturdy? Looks like all wood?

Sounds like initial temps are set too low? Have you tried customizing them?
I imagine the slider has a tight tolerance and will get easier after a break in...
Also, pictures plz!

The weird thing is the temperatures shown in the manual seem wrong, although if correct they would explain the poor performance; as 2 and 3 are way too low. I also notice though they aren’t consistent from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

This is not to be construed as legal advice, but I personally agree that the language above limits the ban to "products," with "products" defined as the thing, oil, etc., being vaporized and inhaled, not the vaporizering device machine itself. One cannot inhale a vaporizer device... you can only inhale the product used in it.
The language at the bottom adds some ambiguity, but where ambiguous, statutes and such executive orders would likely be construed narrowly by a court...
P.s. I grew up in Maine and we always made fun of mass hole regulations. Not that maine is not being taken over by mass holes now...
EDIT: there are also issues, e.g, constitutionally, separation of powers, and otherwise, speaking, with this orders enforceability. It's more pandering and political show boating than anything else IMO.

Is it too fiddly to use after you've had a couple drinks? Is losing the stash-lid/scraper/tamper a legit risk? Are there thin wood features that could suffer grievously enough to affect usability when subject to the reality of life on the go?
(Thanks for asking
)

Just got mine as well. Love the look and feel!
It’s my first Firewood, so I probably will need a little extra time to figure it out.
I haven’t found the slider to be a big issue - I think it has enough resistance it won’t move accidentally, but easy enough to push with one finger (actually my fingernail).
I haven’t gotten any vapor yet, but the taste is really nice. But the temps do seem really low... on the first level your choices are between 250F and 300F which seems really low. For me, a first level would be more like 360-70.
Also odd that while the highest you can program on level one is 300F, the default is actually 310F.
The squeeze to activate is easy - I don’t think it will be difficult for those with dexterity issues.
Be back later. Cheers.

I just had a few drinks and it’s definitely not too fiddly to use. But I can see me losing and/or breaking the loading tool if I am not careful.
Be back later. Cheers.

250-300 F? That seems way lower than any of us would vape at. What is the first setting of the FW5?

Well, I'm guessing there really hasn't been much, if any, stringent Beta testing yet so I suppose you first owners just got promoted!
All of us, and likely Marc as well, are counting on your early evaluative expertise!
Bon appetite!

Greetings all.
I got my FW6 today!
@Mr Mellish turned me on to the Firewood since he owns 3 of them and has always spoken very highly of them. He owns a shitload of vapes of all types and price points and I trust his judgment.
I'm very impressed with the design and build of the FW6.
This thing is very well thought out. The herb chamber is a very cool idea, with the sliding lid and the ramp leading to the bowl. I wish I had tried some of the previous models so I could have experienced and understood its evolution better, but it's obvious that this vape didn't just pop up out of a vacuum.
The isolated glass vapor path won me over, and it is no secret that I love wood vapes as opposed to plastic. I do own a plastic CFX, that although it is definitely a good vape with isolated vapor path and superb temperaturature control, I don't find myself really reaching for it as much as I thought I would. It feels big in my hand and, like I said before, plastic vapes have never been my thing. I bought it to hold me over, thinking that it would take quite awhile to get a hold of a FW6, but I got lucky and the green gods smiled down on me and I got one much faster than anticipated.
The FW6 fits so nicely in the hand and the wood feels so good I,especially since I got the finished version.
I was stupid and forgot to order the battery (I thought it was included), so I haven't tested it yet.
One of my pet peeves is sellers who don't communicate with their customers, so I really appreciate Marc's great communication throughout the ordering process. This was an awesome buying experience and nothing beats dealing directly with the creator of the creature.
I'll post again after I test it.
Peace.

Huh, yeah those are low temps, FW5 is:
LOW - 250-350 (my most used temp, tho 330-350 is my low-temp target)
MED - 350-400 (my finishing-the-bowl setting, also handing-to-noobs setting)
HI - 400-450 (never use, but I stop @ brown)
My FW5 has been my daily since it came out, never changed from factory settings, it’s been great.

If I had to guess, there is currently a typo in the manual. The temperature ranges provided in Celsius equates to the ranges that you have shown for the FW5 so it seems like the temperatures in Fahrenheit have been misquoted.
My FW6 is currently out for delivery. I have read all of the questions asked of the FW6 and I will do my best to address each one. If there are more questions or points of curiosity, just let us know.

Before I proceed, if anyone has successfully adjusted the temp settings on the FW6, I’d love any tips on how to do it which may not be covered by the steps in the manual.
For instance, does it work like this?
Step 1: Click for heat level you want to adjust; get same # of buzzes back.
Step 2: Click 7 times to go into adjustment mode, get 7 buzzes back.
Step 3: Click 1, 2 or 3 times to choose a temp within one of the 3 tables listed, (get same # of buzzes back?)
Step 4: Click # of times to choose the 10 degree range you want, (get same # of buzzes back?)
Step 4: Done

Payton received a beta unit (Troy did as well I believe). He posted a vid which is a few posts back in this thread and also shared feedback with Marc as well. That said, I will take one for the team and continue to "test" the FW6 and let you all know of the results.
Happy early bday...that's a hell of a gift!
As with the FW5, tung oil is used on the finished version of the FW6. That said, I have zero clue on the application process that Marc specifically uses. What I can say is that FW5's flavor was not affected by the finish. In fact, my FW5 produces some of best flavor out of any of my portables.I'm sure it will be same for the FW6.
Also, the FW6 has landed...
I am 99% certain I can help with this...bear with me. My work day isn't over yet but I will most definitely be back later to give some updates.
