So for those like me who have never used a TM or FW, I know people say they are two different devices, but what is your preferred and why? Is FW more of a session vape? How does flavor compare? I'm a flavor chaser. The battery pack doesn't bother me and neither do the looks. I just want a top tier portable unit so I can use on the go/around the house or laying down.
My preference is for the FW7. It's the first vape I had that I immediately clicked with, coming from a pax 2 and solo 2. It has a simple design, good flavor, and I get the best effects from it. It is more amenable to sessions, which I like, but is incredibly capable at ripping in a single draw at high temps and in its unregulated mode. The hybrid oven makes it pretty easy to combust this way, however. I find it much more portable than the TM. It's slimmer and the retractable stem and overall build feels more solid.
For someone looking between the FW7 and TM right now? TM all day, every day. 1. It's available. 2. It has excellent flavor. You could even argue the flavor is better than the FW, especially if you like convection. It has a session mode, but I practically never use it because the on demand heat up is super fast.
If they were both available, I'd recommend the FW7, especially if it comes with a wpa. It's the only device I have 2 of because after being my daily for almost a year, I can't imagine not having one in my kit. But the FW7 aren't available, so it doesn't feel right to recommend.
If it came between the FW8 and TM2 (just to bring this back to the topic) I would be buying a TM2. The kind of piece meal look of the FW8 turns me off, and it just doesn't seem to have the features I would have liked to see from a new iteration.
This is all before people have tried either one so I'll likely wait to decide for/against either device until I see a performance review.
Edit: I hadn't read the TM thread before posting this, some good insights on the TM2 there right now.
