Yeah thanks, I was very happy to find one in such great condition. I remember sharing some pms with you about used options and the ovens looked…pretty terrible, tbh. Not at all what I’d call lightly used. This looks like it was someone’s backup and saw maybe a bowl or two, if that!
just saying, time and use will also darken it up!
oily fingers?
I have to say I think the FW8 looks really good. I was able to get a FW7 pretty early on. Mine came with the skinny glass stem. It is probably overall my favorite vape. I mainly use it as an at home portable desktop. I just don't want to risk anything happening to it outside. If anything were to happen to the FW7 and it could not be repaired I wouldn't hesitate to get the 8.
It definitely has a heavy conduction signature and gets one where they need to get very well! Both the 7 and the 8. And I would agree that the oven is neither better or worse, although I’m starting to think the 8 has a bit more power.
Best way to do it is to put the dab or whatever in the top 2/3rds of the bowl with a little skiff of weed on top too. That was definitely my favourite way to use the 7. Same with the 8 now too and I’ve found the capsules to be great in that regard, I can just load up 4 fat dab sammich caps and I’ll be set for like 12 hours.
You can use the DV BB9 stem, if you cover the airport. Lots of other DV WPA stems work too.
You need to order a set of ceramic tweezers, it’ll cost you like 10 bucks. It’s made the capsule system such a breeze.
Hi pal ,yeah can be frustrating but try these small changes you mind feel better ,
My feet are soaked, but my cuffs are bone dry!@gordontreeman Everything really is coming up Milhouse!
I figure the FW7 will be a fun companion vape with the added conduction. Aside from the Dynas--which I don't use very often--all of my vapes are full convection, which is a little more my speed. But variety is the spice of life and all. I had wanted a 7 for quite a while, too--it was the very first vape someone recommended to me when I was looking to get my first many moons ago.I haven’t actually used my FW7 since I got the Toad…I do prefer stem loading and usually prefer pure convection heating, but the FW7 is easily my favorite regulated portable and well worth having if you’re going to have a few vaporizers. Glad you got one in good shape.
I guess with the low availability of the Nomad/Toad and still relatively small number of FW7s out there compared to anything mass produced, anyone would be lucky to have either one let alone both!
The only reasons I haven’t bought a FW8 (setting aside my aesthetic issues which I could get over) are money to some degree and honestly I just don’t really need it when I’m already at least doubly covered with top of the line portables and desktops.
Despite my small issues with the FW8 though, if anyone’s on the fence, as long as the 8 sounds like something you’d like I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. The 7 has been one of the best portables for the last couple of years and by most accounts the 8 performs as well or better with some interesting features you may not see again any time soon!
Yeah, I only meant “flop” when directly compared to the 7. The device itself is far from being a flop, that’s for sure.I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing the FW8 is only a “flop” next to the 7 which was by far the most popular Firewood so far.
There are a couple of things I don’t love about the 8, and I already have a 7 and a couple of the other best portables available, so since I also don’t have a lot of money to throw around I haven’t bought one yet (although I may give in and buy one at some point)…
It’s possible the 8 is selling better than we think, but it’s hard to make significant changes like a new battery system, capsules, etc. and get the same amount of love from the same people so I suspect it’s selling slower.
With mostly positive reviews and a lot of good features though, I think it could still sell a lot more units and even be better than the 7 for some people.
There is another portable that fits me even better, but it’s hard to get. If I had to order any portable dry herb vaporizer I could get today, it would probably be the FW8 and I’d be choosing from a short list. I just don’t need anything right now. Maybe my VAS is in remission?
Whether or not it reaches the same sales numbers as the 7 though, I would not consider it a flop.
). At the time it was new and not terribly well known outside of fc. I passed because I thought if I was only going to have one, a vape that could be a desktop or a portable would fit my needs better, but shortly after it just exploded and Marc never kept them in stock. I have multiple pairs of ceramic tweezers and it doesn't make my experience any better. I have to wait for it to cool to unload into my abv jar anyway...
