It looks like the best of FW7 and the best of FW8 put together - boom! FW9!
EDIT: Oh, plus a USB-C charging!

@firewood, this is exciting news! Thanks for sharing the update! I've got a question about the performance of the FW9. I've got an FW8 and am very satisfied with the vape. With the FW9, outside of the battery and the lid changes, would you expect it to perform in line with the FW8, or have there been other changes made "under the hood" that would lead to improved performance?

Well god damn! What made you backtrack on the battery situation? Was it the problems that arose? Or the amount of people against it?
It should perform identical to the fw8. The heater and electronics are the same.
The amount of people against it was a big part of the decision. It isn't exactly backtracking though because the new model has internal charging which the fw7 never had. The intention is to use the the internal charger, which eliminates the need to carry loose batteries, which was a big part of the decision to do the battery packs.

Its really cool that the internal pieces are the same, makes me a bit tempted to pull the triggger on the 9 since i already have a bunch of compatible pieces. For the time being 'll stick with my 8 as it's working flawlessly. Can't wait to see other users post pics of their FW9s.
I have an 8 and I love it so much that I picked up a 9 to support the maker of one of my favorite vapes and to have another on hand if anything were to ever happen to my 8. Super stoked about the new changes, although they were never really deal breakers for me.
Any idea of when the new units will begin shipping?

DAMN, Marc! Way to take us by surprise. And congratulations on your big anniversary.
So about that FW9: AM I understanding that it uses a "bare" 18650 just like its siblings prior to the FW8? But now we don't have to remove the 18650 to charge It?
Is there some sort of indicator to show when the battery is fully charged?
Does the internal charger have overcharge protection?
Again, congratulations on 10 years. That's a great accomplishment in the modern world.

Well played friend, well played.
The department of rationalisation in my brain is now working overtime on full alert to figure out why I MUST have the FW9 so soon after getting the FW8.

Everyone liked that !!!This sounds interesting
Looks like you'll need to post more on Sunday sir
Question, are those with the FW8 SOL regarding battery replacement or will you continue offering service/repairs like you do with older models?
Congrats on 10 years and a big thank you for listening to the community's feedback regarding the FW8 battery.
Looking forward to the FW9 and hopefully many more iterations in the future

Oh well yeah I was too slow to decide about spare capsules while waffling too much so missed out, not a big deal there will be more!

FW9 looks beautiful. I got the 8 less than a month ago and I'm still thinking about the 9. I probably won't do it since I don't mind the battery packs at all. If the 9 is internally identical to the 8, it's a great vape!

Congrats on the anniversary and new release @firewood ! I still love my 7 but I was on the fence about upgrading to the 8 due to a few things that I didn’t think were ideal about it. I think almost all of the issues I had with the 8’s design are more to my preferences in the 9, and the return of the built-in tools is a welcome addition!
I did still recommend the 8 to people, but I think I’ll be able to recommend the 9 to just about anyone without reservations. I hope and expect it will sell at least as well as the 7!
I do have one question that I’m fine with either answer on but some people may care more about:
Is it okay to reload a capsule in the 9, or will flower easily get into the heater and burn?
Since you have a built-in tool to help remove them I think even people who don’t want to carry extra capsules should be okay with it, but if they can optionally load it like the 7 I think those people will be happier.

came back on to say that I got another battery pack!
have zero interest in dealing with loose batteries and have an ez time with the capsules, so seeing this Firewood 9 news only makes me more happy with my 8 and glad that Marc was so quick to pivot so that you all that are used to sharing batteries between vapes can get a run at this oven and 8 platform!

Correct.
There is a green light that goes on while charging and turns off when compete. Then you can also use the normal battery indicator using button/buzzes. Yes the charger has overcharge protection.
I will continue to sell and service fw8 batteries for a long time.
I don't think that would work very well because the capsule is pretty deep inside the threaded hole where the plug fits.
how longs the 8 been out ? That was a waist of money or a flop or both lol ,
liked it but back end at the oven door had to be glued in mine ,maybe a reason
anyway leaves the 8 feeling like an old thing already,didnt expect that ,or afford it so soon ,
Nice though ,

I'll sell you one with 3 battery packs for the cost of a 9 hahahahaha. Nah, I'm in Australia, I might as well be in Narnia for 95% of this forum!

If they don’t continue to sell the 8, I bet there could be a small market for people who prefer that battery style. I abhor the 8’s battery and am thrilled that the 9 is user replaceable. But I could see the 8 becoming more valuable for that niche market

If he continues to sell the 8 along side the 9, I’m gonna be pissed that he didn’t continue to sell the 7.
There’s a reason 6 was afraid of 7…
Dude ships to Australia, you should be fine. Duties etc will vary.@firewood , do you ship to EU?
I'm willing to stay up late to try my luck but I'd like to make sure I don't get stuck at the last click!
Congrats for your 10years on top!
