That is a stunner

Had my fatx for a week now. My fist firewood vape. Won't be my last I suspect.
Wanted one for some time (since fw7) but hard to get here in Europe. And the additional import duties/taxes applied here adds a considerable amount.
But I really liked the look of the fw10 and as stock became more available I thought sod it and went all in. 2 weeks later it arrived.
First impressions. When the postie handed the package I didn't think it was my vape. Too small and light. But there it was. And in hand it was really small and light! I was really impressed. Very sleek and well put together (having read the posts here I was aware of earlier design changes).
I immediately found level 1 too low. But 2 and 3 are working well (I plan to reconfigure the heat settings for all levels so I can get a more progressive build of heat). What seemed a little confusing at first with so many clicks and buzzes was actually very simple and quite intuitive.
The tolerances on the wood work are good and after a little wax applied, the openings slide in and out more easily.
Loading requires a little care. I don't want any loose herb getting stuck in between the wood rails etc. And I've not tried the in built storage. Concerned about herb getting into the main body as when I flex the storage plate I can see slight gaps between the plate and the wood.
Is this a legitimate concern as I would like to use this feature?
Anyway, the loading isn't difficult per se, but not as easy/clean as using the straw tech with say a DV or tm stem.
Heats really quickly. Buzz and ready to go.
I really like the vape sig in this one. Tasty on first few and then stony on last few. I like a decent wedge of conduction like effects, a body hit to compliment the head high. Seems to take some of the best aspects of the TM and DV. And the vapour keeps coming. As it fades on L2 I ramp up to L3 and wow, more to go.
I'm always impressed at how much vapour this thing produces. When I take out the abv I'm amazed that such a little amount of herb can produce so much vapour.
For me it's especially good in the evening watching the goggle box. I can puff away for a few mins not worried about cooking the herbs. I can enjoy good flavour and melt into the sofa with the body hit.
I think this little power house might be my current favourite. I know it's still early but it ticks many boxes that others don't quite achieve.
And the added bonus, the icing on the cake, the strawberry on top is I didn't get charged customs duty!!!!! This one slipped through.
Fuck duties and fuck combustion !
