Devices like The Firefly are nearly unusable without the app.

The unfavourable power of companies owning such an infrastructure become more and more obvious and by doing this, Apple is a threat to companies relying on their infrastructure.

The Firefly became mostly unattractive to all iPhone users.

At least those who have previously downloaded the apps will be allowed to continue using them.

This is corporate dictatorship and they are messing around with others businesses.

Maybe it would be more useful to write apple a letter, that this volcano app or firefly app is absolutely necessary for your life and health.
I suspect apple app store cannot make the difference between dry herb vaping and vapour crisis vaping.

I avoided all app type vapes for this very reason... and fir others.. just a simple up down heat button and an on off button and Ur golden

I got that on the list, but I doubt they have feelings for dopeheads.

My only "app-vape" is the crafty. I bought it without having a smart phone, because it was the cheapest option for a portable S&B.
Went into a phone shop. Went to play with the phones on display. Downloaded the crafty app and set my preferred temperatures.
I used it without a phone for a long time.

I hope apple will exclude dry herb vapes from their "vape ban". I am sure they did not make the difference to e-liquid vapes. But they say it is because they want to protect youth...
So my hopes are small.

I used this address, but it's for Germans: contactus.de@euro.apple.com

I tried to find a similar address on the US website, but there is none, I can find.

Are there devices like the Ghost MV1 and The Firefly 2+ (convection vapors) without apps?

Ambit is an easy cheap alternative.... Cleaning regimen is a lot simpler

I sent in a support request to S&B asking if they are going to get an Enterprise Distribution license from Apple and then distribute their app that way (as a download from their site, and you would just have to trust their certificate as 1 extra step)

Edit: I’m not sure what other option they have if they want to continue to support Apple/iOS users.

I'm guessing that their lawyers are going to do some lawyer shit.

I did.
Somehow I could not get the problem correctly over. They now would like to refund me for my free vape app that I cannot download from their store anymore.... :hmm:

Up until he need a liver transplant and stopped using in order to have a chance to get one, he'd hoot that boo.

Anyone who buys a vape that has an app to control it, deserves what they get. The companies that produce such things are part of the idiocracy. It only takes an app to make an idiot excited. "wow, I can control my life from my phone! We are finally in Star Trek , yee haw! .... I can't open my front door right now because the internet connection is down, but not to worry, it will be fixed with the next automatic software update, oh yeah baby!"
