Firewood 9, a beautiful little piece added to my collection
Have had a few sessions with it so far, I love how well the ceramic holds the heat, and I was surprised by how well the stock cooling worked. It's the only vape in my collection I currently prefer to hit dry.
It is a smaller form factor than my TM2, but can deliver just as much of a punch. However, I'm not sure my technique is quite right yet, because I'm ripping through battery a lot faster with the Firewood than the tinymight.
The wood adds a slight flavor, but it's complementary, and I enjoy it. The capsules are okay, not as easy to manage as some other vapes, but does make my loading/unloading ritual a little easier. There is a new bowl option I may try when the parts become available again.
TM2 is still my primary DD, but this vape fills a specific niche and makes for a great show piece.
I've been in the industry for over a decade. I have owned or handled countless devices in that time. However for some reason I've never had a FW in my personal collection. I really should change that haha.
The last FW I handled in fact was the Firewood4 way back in 2014/15-ish (anyone know Mephisto over on FuckCombustion? It was his - he's an awesome guy)
Definitely recommend changing that! I just got my 9 and it's been amazing, huge upgrade from the 4 and the 6 I had before. And ayy hell yeah I think his posts are why I got the 4 back then!
Lol yeah 15 years ago I was right there with ya - cheap chinese vape bro's knockoff I overpaid for like $200 at the local smoke shop. It was terrible.
I have had the luxury of sampling literally countless dry vaporizers. It's been fun to watch the industry grow since those early days when it first started to "take off"
I wonder if the FW9 uses the same dosing capsules as the FW8 - I make a loading tray for that size capsule.
