EVOLV Cricket

Yo @DJ Colonel Corn any word from Evolv on an updated version? Are you still in touch on the discord etc? Nothing excites me more than a v2 cricket as i'm just too picky for any devices presently on the market.
Hi @biohacker , there are currently no plans for a v2 or updates to the Cricket.
Yes, I am still in the Cricket discord ! Not much is happening there, for the past lil while.
The Cricket is a fine piece of machinery !
Do you have a Cricket ?
Apparently Evolv says they didn't sell so well, and they are expensive to make.
So, they aren't excited to make a v2.
If you DO have a Cricket, you can find wonderful themes for the Cricket here, with my favorite theme right here, or, download it directly HERE !
Get the v1.1 of that theme that I like. :)
Also, gotta say I love these little stands for the Cricket: The wooden boxes are available here and you have a choice of maple, cherry, or walnut !
Do you know the tricks for the cap ?
You can put the cap to the side connected to the bolt, it's magnetic, and will hold your cap to the side.
Or, you can do like I do , and get a tether for it. I use this : https://ineedhemp.com/product/2-rep...hers-for-the-bubble-carp-cap-for-core-erig-2/ , originally designed for the Core 2.0 .
I'll show you the box and the tether :

Pretty slick, if you ask me !
Thanks for the note, @biohacker !

I bet they would sell like hotcakes if they listened to some of our feedback/criticisms and just made a few small changes. The deal breaker for me was seeing not even what looked like reclaim, but actual oil under the tub. I tried my best to use tiny dabs, slow draw, etc. but at the end of the day I felt like I was wasting $75/g rosin. Also some black shit on my swabs that was coming off the silicone gasket turned me right off. I have no problem dropping $400 on something that absolutely blows me away, but at its current stage I feel like it wasn't beta tested enough and rushed to market.

Yeah I definitely think some of them had leaky welds. My first tub would have a lot of buildup underneath pretty quickly. My second one that I'm using now collects buildup much more slowly and I can use a significantly lower temp to get the hits I want. I think I've only cleaned under the second tub once or twice, and there's never been very much down there like there was with the first one.

Wow I didn't know this was a thing. I had a few of these Crickets and all were the same. This is exactly what I was referring to when I stated it felt like a bit of a beta run.

Dang. There is still a little bit that gets down there and needs to be cleaned, but I think it's mostly from creeping up and over the corners a bit, rather than melting through the welds.

I think this was ultimately my issue. It needed welds in the corners to make a proper seal. Oh well, i'll continue to daydream about a v2! Still a great device.

Got a cricket a few months back. Have made a few "ready" screens for anybody who messes with the escribe software/themes

One is Phish's YEM done in the IBM logo style, the other is the Moonites.. enjoy if you mess with the cricket

...have you uploaded these to the Cricket forum ?
The area to upload them is at https://forum.evolvapor.com/files/category/13-dna-cricket/ .
My favorite theme is here : https://forum.evolvapor.com/files/file/1658-melting-terps/ , use the 1.1 version.
Or, directly download the 1.1 version here: https://thevapor.ninja/evolv/gt-melting-terps1.1.ecigtheme .
Upload these with Escribe, Evolv's software.

word.. just tried it out.. didn't have an account prior... says pending mod review over there. It's just the Moonites from ATHF Ready screen and Phish's YEM done in IBM style fwiw

i've taken all the battery/heating/heated from prior themes and mix/match them to my liking... would like to mess with those but it's so few pixels idk if i have the patience for them as the Ready screens are enough of a chore to create.. the moonites one was easy.. need wide icons/images.. a lot of things get stretched out of proportion to make it fit 80x32 enough to be visible when looking at the device

still an awesome little extra on the cricket though.. fun to make your own ready screen anyways with a little ms paint and image copying from the net.. i made a bunch of others for sports logos etc... if somebody had a specific request i can always try to make something for a personalized ready screen.. just lmk

cheers

Awesome !
Throw a word out on the Discord also...
The server invite is: https://discord.gg/WsvPua6r !

I'm sure there are folks that have an interest in their own designs !

Cheers !
