Good question. Yep just hold the button down as long as your typical medium speed deep draw would be however if your firewood is cold then on the first go add tenish seconds to warm up the ceramic as @El Duderino mentioned previously on top of your draw time.
Do this on higher temps. Perhaps a short one or couple on unregulated which is 4 clicks to enter. Be cautious there.
Repeat a couple times until you’re comfortable and go to flavor town.
Hope that helps

Yeah I just did it a bit with the oven chamber off and no capsule loaded, to burn off the coil at first (you're not burning off the wood or ceramic at all, you can clean the ceramic, and the wood will break in over time with use, neutralize more and more, depending on the cuts of wood and your own sensitivity to the walnut), with max temp, very quick and easy, I think it is already done before they ship out anyway so didn't seem necessary but still good to do with everything new

Mine had a ton of mystery vapor when new. I wasn’t the only one either so burn offs are mandatory for me…
My new FW9 got here! Great so far. I do have another question though. I bought the “glass adapter tub” thinking it would allow me to use other stems, but when I got it, I’m lost. How do you use it, and what glass does it let me use? I was hoping I could use some of my POTV glass, but it seems way too short for that.

i'm wondering if this is the sound i'm hearing on my fw9 ... once i engage the button and it gives me the temp buzzes it still buzzes a little like the haptic buzzer doesn't completely stop buzzing ... is this normal or should i contact marc? my fw7 does not do this ... and i don't think the fw9 was doing this when i first started using it ...

I'm not here for a long time, but for a good time
After giving in to my lack of being able to use the search function effectively, I broke down and went back to when the 9 was released in this thread. I finally found a post that shows how to disassemble FW9s wooden funnel on the bowl version! Saw a few posts along the way that ask something similar, and I think the confusion comes from those who did not get the bowl kit natively and know the funnel twists in. The official instructions show how to reassemble, sans the twist to remove, and miss to disassemble you have to twist the wooden funnel to remove. Anyway, hope this post helps anyone else who needs to know how to disassemble bowl mode on FW9 and thanks to @BreadStick for putting it together!

Yeah I got it for the weekend and have been enjoying it all week... the colors are just so beautiful, in any lighting, subtle variation of dark blue grey purple, with like a salmon pink red orange, although you can hardly see them when the stem is inside the FW9 hehe: Yes the slight taper...

I have a Roffu on order. The intent was to use it as a to go pocket vape. I currently have a V3 Pro for my carry, but it's a little too long.
I'm also looking really hard at the FW9 right now. The dimensions are about the same as the Roffu, but I'm sure the FW9 performance is way better. Would the FW9 make a good pocket vape? If so, is there any point in having both?
Thanks a lot!

I’ve been amazed by how pocket friendly the FW9 is. Only real complaints is battery life and how hot parts of it get. If you have old jeans and the FW cap turns the wrong way, you FEEL it. The big advantage I see with the Roffu is that, like the Lobo, it’s cheap enough that is something happens to it, I’m less likely to cry than if one of my nice vapes end up in the lake,

This is a more higher-end artisan portable, trade-offs in that regard, but it is very well designed and more capable with a better vapor quality experience imo so the value in having both is having different types of vapes that work differently and cost differently, being built differently...

Depends on the pocket imo. I find the 9 to feel fairly chunky and uncomfortable in my jeans pockets compared to my Toad, IQ2 or even the Firewood 7, but I can carry it pretty easily in a sweatshirt or coat pocket. Despite that, it’s stellar and is/was my usual pick for taking out and about since it heats up pretty quickly for a few tokes while wandering.

Personally I don't like to have anything like that in my pants pocket, even a cell phone is pretty annoying lol never good for anything

I took your recommendation, and I am glad I did, even though I do not even have it yet. I ended up ordering it on Sunday, but the BF sale ended Saturday and I didn't realize that until it was too late. I asked in the comment section on the order page if they could please still honor the sale price. Today I saw an email with a refund notification from Firewood. They went ahead and honored the sale price, which they had absolutely no obligation to do.
So a huge thank you goes out to Firewood! This is the type of gesture that earns brand loyalty! I can't wait to get my hands on this FW9.

hi
yesterday i got my firewood9 in the europe and it's great.
perfect workmanship, materials and a different character of drawing than other vapes.
as a tea user and a lover of ceramic bowls i'm just now realizing how unique and perfect the material used for the chamber is.
it's a joy and once i learn how to work with it it will be even better.
i send a big thank you to the manufacturer and also to this community.

So I have had my firewood bowl mode for a week now and have been enjoying it so far but part of me feels like it could be performing better. I see comments that this vape hits hard with good vapor production but that really has not been my experience. I have my temps set at 350-370-390 as suggested by users here and get mediocre vapor production and material roast.
Maybe I am doing something wrong??
To give an example: I ran a bowl at 370 for 2 hits and then moved to 390 for another 3 hits, 390 does not feel that hot to me. When I open the chamber the material still has green and there is barely any roast. From what I read here it seems like that should be enough to clear a bowl.
I am using the Vapcell V30 battery purchased from Marc. When it arrived the device told me voltage was <3.5v and to charge immediately to avoid damaging battery. The first charge took upwards of 6 hours to fully charge with the usb-c on the device and tested at max voltage when complete.
Any advice would be appreciated as I don't feel I am getting the full experience this device has to offer. A few things I am thinking may be causing this:
- Not packing bowl tight enough?
- I need to adjust my draw speed?
- Battery not outputting full amps resulting in under performance?
I am coming from being a dedicated Dynavap user for about 6 years.

I pack both my Dynavap M (2019 I think) and FW9 pretty tight with a medium grind (5 piece Santa Cruz grinder). My temps are 300/320/340 and I get plenty of vapor at 300.
What kind of grind (coarse, med, etc.)?
Are you packing the bowl loose or tight?
After you pack the bowl and put the top on, what is the draw like (how much resistance)?

I use a 3-piece Space Case grinder so medium grind.
I would say I tamp the bowl down firm, just enough to not have the material come loose. I am not cranking down on the material.
I don't get much draw resistance at all with the bowl closed.

Are you riding the button for about 10-12 seconds after the first buzz? Keep riding the button until you're ready to move up in temp. A bit tighter pack will help as well.So I have had my firewood bowl mode for a week now and have been enjoying it so far but part of me feels like it could be performing better.

I have held the button 15 seconds past the buzz on initial heat up. Similar results.Are you riding the button for about 10-12 seconds after the first buzz? Keep riding the button until you're ready to move up in temp. A bit tighter pack will help as well.
Are you saying after I take my first hit, continue to hold the button down?

Hello, I have had the firewood9 for about four days and have only used it twice.So I have had my firewood bowl mode for a week now and have been enjoying it so far but part of me feels like it could be performing better.

I am coming from being a dedicated Dynavap user for about 6 years.
I set the temperatures to 360-380-410.
I am used to starting at 360 and reaching 380 maximum with all other vapes.
I think the firewood is specific in that it uses a ceramic chamber. Ceramic holds heat well, but it takes a while to heat up. So you need to vape continuously and not take too many breaks.
I crush the herb with my fingers, throw it into the bowl and press it according to the instructions.
I miss the free air path a little like with the tm2 or venta, but I take it as a specific feature of this vape.
But if you know of a way to add some air to the path, I would be happy.
I still have to learn it, it takes time, but I am already excited about the design, the atmosphere when using it, the fact that there is a minimum of electronics and the vapor production is similar to that of similar vaporizers.
I'm surprised that you are satisfied with temperatures of 300/320/340, it seems to me that it is not enough to create steam, but I will try it.
you definitely need to heat it up properly at the beginning, it is true that I vaped outside in the cold, and then it works according to the vibrations.
I have a Molicel INR18650-P28A 2800mAh 35A Li-ion battery, 3.6V - 3.7V.
I hope you get well soon

Correct. More than likely, you probably are not going to be long before taking your next hit, so continue to hold the button down. Don't shut the heater off.
edit: as barded stated above, your first hit helps to heat soak the bowl. You want to keep that heat. That's where continuously pressing the button will help.

I would never keep pressing the button without inhaling, I have to fully clear my heads, but I do take those first hits, super low and slow, long slow draw classic, I think that is the best with FW9, upper temps I can do faster, but I like a medium fine grind packed tight full to really milk those low temp settings for many hits, vapor can start off thin, but it is still visible and only grows in density as you continue through your session
