    I don't actually know what their plans are, but I don't think the everlast is supposed to supplant the current atomizer - just act as an alternative. I like the quick heatup on the current atties, clean them gently but often, and don't generally take big dabs. Most of my 670+ hits have been on a...

    Sounds like you may have an issue with your unit overheating, or else you are just dialing the temp in too high. I've watched a dozen or more Cartas crank out hundreds of dabs over the past couple of days and didn't hear this refrain once. People were especially enjoying titanium at the stock...

    Can not speak to anything by fadespace, but I got to try FocusV's prototype sic bucket yesterday and it was smooth as silk. Nice milky rips in the low-mid 600s with full-bodied flavor that's unmatched by any of the other cups. If it comes in at the $40-50 price range that they're looking to hit...

    No...twisting in the opposite direction unscrews the atomizer :lol: Keep twisting in the same direction, it's reverse threaded.

    Screw the atomizer into the base. Keep twisting after it locks in place, and the top should come right off.

    It depends. I'm down to my last 2 quartz cups. One of them works pretty well at level 2 in most of my atties. The other one gets poor, wispy hits on every single atty at level 2, and requires level 3 temps to milk up. So it seems to be bucket-specific. I think the one that doesn't work well is...

    I don't see what's shady about what happened. It was clearly an honest discrepancy. They saw one thing on their screen and you saw another thing on yours, but they can only go by what's on their screen. It's silly to think they should give an extra unit away. What's overlooked is that they are...

    They should eventually be available separately. https://americanhelix.com/product-category/CARTA/ Agree 100%. I went to the NewVape factory once just to pick up an online order, and wound up spending a couple hours there chatting with Edwyn, getting a factory tour, and learning all about the...

    The beta period for the Carta was very brief and ended a while ago. The final release is available for sale now.

    It was some laughable nonsense about how the holes in the bottom of the atomizer would cause oil to spill down into the air path and eventually get moldy. The dude hadn't even used his Carta yet :lol: Love how the community forcefully clapped back and got him to delete his post out of sheer...

    Interesting. Bear in mind the default sesh time for herb is a lot longer than for concentrate - 3:00 vs 0:40 I think. Did it run for longer than a few minutes?

    Just curious why you were doing your dry run in the beta base, and what setting did you run it at?

    I got to test the “everlast” atomizers yesterday and I think they’re going to make a lot of people happy. The ceramic heating plate is encased in a layer of stainless steel to protect against wear and tear. The cups are fitted to the stainless steel shell, and the fit is more snug than the...

    If you turn your Carta on without an atomizer installed, the app defaults to dry herb settings. If you screw in an oil atty, the app interface instantly changes to oil settings. Unscrew it again and watch the app go right back to dry herb. Screw the dry herb atty in and it obviously remains in...

    Yeah, or if it's still too hot you can just pop off the glass and flip the whole base over. You'll want a sharp-pointed tool and maybe a swab to give it a thorough cleaning, but it's easy. Also seems inevitable that you'll get particulate stuck inside your carb cap. If I was using herb mode...

    You can't qtip as aggressively because of that sandpapery feeling, but it's pretty easy to mop up. Precision tip swabs will probably be best. It discolored after first use though, whereas quartz I can clean to like new after every cycle.

    It's early on the west coast! I don't know many big companies that answer the phone before 8, let alone small ones. It sounds like they're all caught up on warranty stuff too, so hopefully your new thing will show up soon. The ceramic is nice. I like it a little better than the quartz. You can...

    I'd have to do some more testing to make a recommendation, but we broke by hand the first couple of bowls and did a fine grind for the next couple. Either way we had to stir every couple of hits to keep the vapor coming.

    Herb bowl is actually nice!!! Ran a few seshes with some friends at various temps and everyone was impressed. App control allows you to really hone in on either flavor or effect. We were getting very tasty vapor in the mid 300s and some dense hits in the high 400s. When I saw the Carta was a...
