Definitely do NOT over-tighten the atomizer cap - especially with the quartz installed - like I just did. Bucket completely shattered :uhoh:

Well done sir! You just put the cherry on top of many of our 420s. I've been loving the last few hits of rosin in quartz at around 590. Was underwhelmed to find my dab counter at only 185 :\

Might not be on the app store until next month.

Tried level 3 for the first time tonight because I loaded up a large one and just wanted to see what would happen. No thanks! Burnt my rosin and chazzed up my quartz for the first time. I think that level 2 is already pretty much my ceiling, but 3 is like dabbing off a red hot banger. Woof...

It does seem like there's 2 types of retail atomizers. This is the one FocusV sent me before the retail base shipped: The 2 atomizers that came later with the base didn't have that ridged ring at the bottom. Those are the 2 I used first and burnt out by overclicking. The one pictured above...

Yes, and I think it was the result of a bad connection between the atomizer and base. Adjusting the atomizer would usually fix it - unless the overheating had already burnt it out (which it did for a few of us). No overheating on my retail Carta yet though. If you've readjusted the atomizer and...

Impressive. I honestly wouldn't have thought that was even possible. Maybe I'm just too aggressive with mine, I went through 5-6. One of the things I like most about the Carta is you don't have to handle the atties with a gentle touch, at least when it comes to cleaning them.

I........don't believe you :lol:

No. Don't spend any amount of money for a beta unit. Whoever's trying to sell you one is honestly kind of a jerk. They won't work with the app, which means you can't adjust the temp. And most people have had trouble getting them to work with the updated atomizers, which means you can only use...

I mean, you get some nice dense hits out of a single click. I don't think it's unreasonable to wait 45-60 sec to click again, maybe even lower the temp a bit to compensate for heat retention.

PSA: Randall recommended on IG today not to fire the atomizer back to back because it would inevitably burn them out.

I could be wrong, but this just seems like a bad idea to me now. If the atomizer is holding temp at 630 until the green light goes out, why does it take so long to reheat when you click it right back on?

I'm actually on my 3rd and final one. I took FocusV up on their offer to send one before our bases shipped, so I wound up with 2 extras. But yeah, my 1st one degraded to the point where it was pretty much just melting my oil into a warm puddle, and my 2nd one was getting there. I suspect the...

Nope, just the one.

All you have to do is see them side by side to know which one will give you the superior experience: Don't get me wrong, the stock glass is great. I'd still take my Carta with stock piece over my Peak with upgraded 3rd party glass 9 times out of 10. But the Helix just elevates the experience...

I got my Helix replacement today and it's....*chef's kiss*....delicious. Much more snug than the last one, though it still has a little give. But the seal is good, and the vapor is great. Maybe I'm just easily amused, but that vortex it creates is honestly a pretty neat party trick. Seriously...

Hot or cold loading? The only time I wound up with oil in my atomizer was when I hot loaded a fat booger. Otherwise the inside of my atties have remained spotless. Huge improvement over the beta atomizers, at least in my experience so far.

Seems like my 2nd atty has already degraded after a couple hits. Wispy vapor on 1st cycle, but better on the 2nd. It's definitely a best practice to wait a considerable amount of time between cycles. 1) you're stressing the coil, but 2) you might also be burning your material. Correct me if I'm...

Yeah, fresh atty makes a huge difference. I concur with this:

I believe this is happening to me as well. After my first 2 dabs with titanium, I swapped in quartz and only use it at level 2. I've been noticing less vapor when I cold fire my 1st cycle, though 2nd cycle is better. I just put the ti cup back in at level 2, and it didn't produce the same dense...
