When's it coming out, and what makes it a reason to wait?

When's it coming out, and what makes it a reason to wait?

Because we already have FW9’s.

Because we already have FW9’s.

Oh. I thought there was some serious upgrade that was worth not getting one now. Thanks, I guess. So this is just standard VAS "This is the greatest vaporizer ever, until the next version comes out, then that will be the greatest vaporizer ever!" Rinse (in iso), repeat...

 

[Ipe17]

Yeah, i have the 9 and love it. I meant i was tempted to get a back up unit.
And i know nothing about the 10, other than i hope it gets released sometime in 2025...well, i know i want one

Sorry I have been so absent

A couple updates:
First, I'm pleased to announce a price reduction on Firewood 9! Over the past few months I have made some significant manufacturing improvements and have managed to get some of the more difficult parts mass produced externally. This has allowed me to lower costs and increase production. As a result I'm lowering the price of a Firewood 9 to $265 for either the bowl or capsule option (was $315 for bowl option, $320 for capsule option)

Second, some people have also asked about a Firewood 10. Since the founding of Firewood I have done a new product release just about once a year. Well Firewood 9 has been out for over a year now and I have barely even started the Firewood 10 design, so it will definitely be over a year for this one. Best case I would release something in six months, probably more like a year from now. My goal is to make something truly revolutionary compared to anything available. Much faster, smaller, more efficient. However I'm not 100% sure if my new idea will work. Prototype oven is in the works, we'll see....

I have been pondering a fw10 since the second part of firewoods post above

Edit

Marc’s post was on June 21 2024 fyi

so i have been playing with my new fw9 over the past week and i really love almost everything about it (i do think i like the fw7 better.

my main gripe with the fw9 is the button ... it feels flimsy like it might fall off at any moment and sometimes i can't even tell if it is engaged by feel (it usually is but without the buzzes i might think it hasn't engaged yet.)

other than that i really love this thing and it is in my main rotation!

When you have the trigger button pressed and your not sure if it's engaged, bring the vape to your ear. You'll hear the vape "chirping" as it's heating up.

For anyone that might be interested, the FW9 and accessories are on sale now to the end of the month. I just dropped my dime on it. Do they usually ship fast? I hate waiting.

I ordered mine last week Sunday. It shipped on Monday and I received it Wednesday morning. I'm in Ohio.

Anybody else here still rocking the FW4? I really wish more vapes had HEAT ON DEMAND by just inhaling the unit to turn it on. Anyone else knows why more makers don’t make that a feature? I know that Xvape Mambo has it

 

[FatOldEnt]

I was using a FW4 for several years until it suddenly stopped heating one day. Upgraded to the 9 but I miss the 4. The on-demand heating was much better than having to press an awkwardly placed tiny button for heat IMO

The Firewood 10 will sense when I awake and start gently preheating. It will simultaneously ensure that my coffee is brewed at 190F and the bacon is crisping in the oven, 420 degrees.

I heard Marc is adding AI and a touchscreen.

So Fw10 will be breath activated

I'll need the tea-conversion kit...

Its a pretty complex feature, particularly if convection is involved, most others with attempts at it have failed, but there are some that use it with some combination of trigger button as well... I don't know I find it pretty annoying personally because it feels impossible to clear hits, how do you stop it from heating while you are still inhaling?

I think that works really well for nicotine vapes, but IMO the delay between initial draw and production of happy clouds is too long for this to be a useful feature for dry herb vapes. Not tried the Mambo though, so not talking from experience.

Last night I noticed a gap between the two pieces of the body below the air intake holes. It's the width of a business card. Normal or should they be glued together?

Sorry for the blurriness...

[jbg87]

Mine is more closed together, but I don’t think it’s glued together.

 

[MHL]

Mine has a few little gaps knocking about.

I don't think it's anything to worry about. It still works just fine.

Firewood 9 supposed to be delivered Saturday, which usually means Monday. Any tips/tricks? I’m more used to the Lobo and Mighty+, with occasional Dynavap hits. Anything to be careful of?

The only things I can think of are..

Disassemble everything and clean thoroughly

Be careful not to get herb debris on the coil. That’s filling the bowl too high and debris spilling through air holes or not being careful swapping capsules depending on what version you got

Be gentle with the spring. If you work with it and not against it then it goes in easy

Enjoy the on demand power and incredible terpenes

I like 350,370 and a clean up 390 for temps

FW9 bowl version is a delight using out and about, maybe the best regulated outside conduction vaporizer for me! I don't want all day conduction outside, but hell, this is the one, if that's what you like.

A little tip for heating your FW9: When it's cold and you're heating the first bowl, it's worth heating for a bit longer. The FW9 vibrates when it reaches the target temperature, but for the first heat-up, I usually heat for an additional 15 seconds after the vibration. For all subsequent heat cycles, I stick to the vibration (meaning I take a hit as soon as the vibration indicates the target temperature has been reached) as the FW9 is already warm.
