I got my Wychwood, and am very impressed! It arrived very safely packaged, having crossed the pond with marked speed, I think only 8 or 9 days.
Craftmanship: 9/10. My WW looks top notch. The grain of the wood is beautiful, the sanding done to perfection and the finish nicely applied. It really is a petite little thing, and very, very attractive sitting on the desk. The heater core on my example is very slightly off center and this is the only "defect" if I need to nitpick.
Hit density: 8.5/10. Vapor is thick, and the WW is able to milk tubes to great satisfaction, be it a smaller bubbler or my 14" Zob UFO beaker. I love the glass on glass system. All the stem systems allow massive packs if you so desire and this can of course bump the the hit density up to comical levels above this score.
Flavor: 8/10, comparable or superior to my B-DAY Underdog and my long-gone PD. The WW direct-to-glass connection bumps this figure up to more like 8.5.
Efficiency: 8.5/10, as good as any log vape, while delivering huge rips more akin to the UD and less like my PD.
Completeness of Kit: 9/10. JRR delivers a thoughtful, loaded kit with his vape. His stems designs are very good and both the silicone stems and glass stems are made so screen flipping frustrations are kept to a minimum, which I really appreciate. Pipe cleaners, muslin bags, screens, pokers, aromatherapy cup and an awesome pipe-tool from the Czech Republic were included.
The temperature compromise is good. At 12V it yields Swiss chocolate-colored ABV and you'll definitely enjoy getting there.
Heat up time to usability was about 8 minutes for me, and it was at full tilt within 12-16. That's markedly better than the other two logs I've owned, probably due to the lower thermal mass of the small unit.
I think a first time vaporizer buyer would be ecstatic with this unit and would never necessarily need to upgrade, save for maybe buying a portable. The WW delivers rich, dense, flavorful vapor in a beautiful handmade product, at a fair price. It's awesome that Europe finally has its own log vape with JRR's Wychwood, and even Australia has Hazy's Hot Pod vape.
Thanks for the awesome vape, JRR.
