Well it does vibrate when it is ready so thats automatic... First hit or so might wait a little longer if you want to see more vapor sooner, and draw extremely slow so as not to cool it off too fast as it is heating up still, drawing faster as you go, fastest once you let go of the button and after it vibrates to fully clear...

Apologies if this has been answered in the thread already but I honestly don't understand one thing, how do you get the storage base off of the FATX to get at the mouthpiece adapter and latch?
The website shows how to take out the mouthpiece and put the storage pieces back on but not how to take them out in the first place. I can get the lid off easily but I honestly have no clue how to get the storage base out. Can I get a little help?

It is shown in the manual (available as a PDF if you don't have yours available), just after the chart of clicks vs temperatures. In a nutshell, you'll take the mouthpiece out, flip the unit over, and push the storage base out the first few mm THROUGH the hole where the mouthpiece exits the wood body.

That part of the manual was a little confusing for me but that explanation made it make sense! Thanks to your help I got the adapter out!
The only thing I'm struggling with now is how do I fit the adapter spring back inside the device before I put the storage bits back on?

What are the default temps on the fatx. I can't count the vibes well.
Is there still unregulated mode.
Only have 3 bowls on it so far with the default stem but it is niceeeee

Ok so I did it myself and even though idk if I did everything right, the device still all fits together and breathes good!
In case anybody else is having an issue with the spring, the way I got it in was focusing on the two small divots before the grooves for the storage parts. Make sure the tube of the adapter is upward like in the manual and you should be able to slot the spring in the little divots. The manual says that it should push the adapter into the oven and that's why you should angle the pokey end bits toward the adapter.
It made a noise that I'm not great at describing like a kind of "shrrk" sound when it slotted in and I don't know if that's good or bad but it made it fit!

A possible issue could be the mouthpiece adapter was inserted incorrectly when reassembling. Make sure the tube faces up before installing the mounting spring.
Up as in on the side where the tube is ontop (pictured below, edit:nvm i cant figure out how to post pics on mobile) or literally tilted upwards? I think ive got it in up but still having issues
Edit 2: Air flow feels normal when sucking or blowing thru the stem, so I dont think anything is blocked or installed incorrectly. Could be totally wrong though

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 !

Love everything about my Firewood X - except the storage components. I finally cleaned my X, which required removing the storage base to get to the mouthpiece adapter. This was a chore in of itself, especially getting it started, plus the storage base by default ends up coming out a bit bent/bowed as it's removed.
After cleaning I tried repeatedly, in vain to reinsert it properly; but could never get the base to insert fully/line up with the wood edges. This was despite consulting the manual, watching the video on FATs website, and reading through some tips here re: bending the metal a bit. After all my attempts (namely to bend it so it would properly fit), now the base is too misshapen to bother trying to get it back to its normal shape.
I ended up having success just cutting a piece of a raw cardstock to essentially the same shape as the storage base and inserting this to cover the insides. I wasn't using the storage anyway because I found the lid annoying. The storage on the FW6 was great, and the 7 was fine without it while also having the insides not exposed. I wish something in either direction had happened with the X in retrospect.

Just got mine in the mail. This is GOOD on demand vapor production!
I’ve made an oopsie. I set the temp too high and that resulted in a combustion on my x. Anyone have tips on getting the taste out? I’ve soaked the mp adapter in iso, cleaned the pathway between mp adapter and bowl, behind the screen, and iso wiped the bowl but still the flavor of combustion is there. Thanks in advance!
Remember the stem and the water pipe if you used one. I wiped out with q-tips, but then repeated soaking all the removable parts. I did have to pop the screen out. It is not the easiest device to clean after combustion. It took a couple tries befor the combustion taste went away.

I've had mine for almost 2 months with daily use. I haven't touched another device since I got this. It's been great, but now I'm wondering how dirty the inside of this thing is going get and if that's going to affect its efficiency. I've cleaned it a few times, but there's definitely some areas that are building up with resin that you can't get to. Has anyone taken one of these things completely apart? Are the 2 halves simply screwed together or is it more permanently attached?
At this point I'm dealing with resin leaking out of the bottom of the vape.

The 2 halves are simply screwed together, but I would not attempt trying to take it apart. The heater wires are fragile and pulling the halves apart will likely break the wires. Most of the buildup can be removed by placing the removable ceramic bits in ISO for a few minutes. Make sure to air dry after to eliminate ISO taste / smell.

I take it apart as much as possible and clean everything I can, but there's still these little areas I can't get to.
I did come to realize that the reason the hits are so much less harsher than other vapes is because of the 2 ceramic parts that are just pressed up against each other and don't create a seal, so air is being pulled in between the mouth piece adapter and the ceramic bowl. It works fricken great because of that, but I also think this is the reason I'm getting so much resin into areas you can't clean. There's a couple small channels on the side of the bowl at the very bottom, so I feel like the resin is leaking out between the bowl and mouth piece adapter, and then making its way to the other side of the bowl where you can't clean it.
Another question - is there an o ring replacement for the fat x mouthpiece adapter or do I need to buy a whole new mouthpiece adapter that'll come with the o ring?
It’s not the easiest vape to clean, fortunately mine hasn’t needed it often.
Pop out the screen and soak it. This is required if you combust or the taste stays foul. Remove the ceramic that the stem sticks to, remove the o-ring and soak the ceramic.
I used a damp swap to scrub out the ceramic stuff that didn’t come out. This took several rounds and quite a few swabs.
Mine had leaked some resin onto the wood, so I cleaned that as best I cold with a swab, and treated the area with a small amount of cutting board wax.
Obviously, soak the stem.
After soaking, I sprayed the soaked parts with alcohol to clean the residue, then rinsed in hot water. Allowed all parts to dry, waxed the wood, and reassembled.
It’s amazing how much the difference in airflow can be after a good cleaning!

When this has happened (in my 7), I've a) cleaned the bowl, stem and any parts that can be cleaned, b) left the device sitting out disassembled overnight to air out, even with a light fan blowing over them, and then for good measure c) reassembled, and then packed a bowl and left it sitting in the device fresh for ~24 hours - to either absorb odors, or lay fresh ones over them. From here a few bowls cancelled out any remaining bad odors.
You may want to (re)check everything parts-wise is inserted/seated correctly in yours (if you haven't already); in particular the mouthpiece spring. I mention this as what you describe regarding the 2 ceramic parts not creating a seal doesn't seem to match with my X. On mine I believe the spring ensures that the pieces create a good seal/press up against eachother.
For the o-ring, are there extras stored in the box (usually the case)? Or, not sure of the size; but I'd be pretty confident an o-ring kit (like this) could give you a comparable o-ring.
