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!

      I recently got back into vaping. 15 years ago, I used to use a box with a whip at my desk and thought it was pretty awesome.

      I switched to cartridges for the most part for a while, but decided to try dry herb vaping again.

      Holy shit. Dry Herb Vaping technology is much more impressive these days. I’ve been tasting flavors like never before and I feel healthier.

      Again, I wouldn’t make the FW my primary, but it’s currently in the daily rotation with the TM2 and Mighty+.

      Definitely recommend having one for at least the novelty.

    If I could buy them I would’ve bought every single fw but he doesn’t deliver to my country.

    So I only have the Fw4 in my collection, bought 2nd hand

      Ahh, that sucks. The 4 is pretty sweet version to have, nice form.

      There are some dream vapes I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to grab.

    what do you enjoy about vaping? i’m curious how and why people enjoy vapes, say compared to cigarettes, and whether most people prefer to have any nicotine in their vapes?

      This sub is focused on vaporizing dry herbs, mostly flowers. I’m sure some people here enjoy nicotine, but I’m personally not interested. I vape to medicate.

      I vape as an attempt to move away from cigarettes, so I like to vape nicotine, but I try to stick to lower concentrations.

      That said, if you’re curious about regular e-juice vaping, you might want to check out !vaping@lemmy.world - this community focuses more on vaporizing the active compounds out of dry cannabis.

      Lots of us ents around here dry vaporize (not tobacco). Different temps allow us to extract different active compounds from the herb while preventing combustion which releases all sorts of nasty stuff like toxic carcinogenics and carbon monoxide which is worse for your health.

      You’ll find a lot of anecdotal evidence from ents who made the switch to vaporizing and haven’t looked back.

      As an added bonus, the taste/smell is MUCH better than combustion hahaha.
