    Cold loaded .15g in quartz level 2 and no spillage into the atomizer or onto the heating plate like when I hot loaded, though a good amount did wind up on the bottom of the carb cap. Several full cycles of rich, delicious vapor. Highly recommended :tup:

    Totally agree that the pre-set temps are weird and inconsistent, even in the final release. Seems like they just picked 4 random temperatures. Couldn't imagine ever wanting to use above level 2, regardless of what cup or material I'm putting in there. It's already too hot for me with the...

    Only a couple times after I waited too long to swab. It's incredibly easy to keep clean and doesn't overheat my material, period. I also now remember that you were the guy in the Peak thread a while back trying to convince everyone they were smelling odors produced by the Peak that they weren't...

    Nope, not for me. I generally run 2 cycles at level 2, depending on the size of the dab.

    I have been constantly hitting quartz on level 2 and swabbing after every dab and my cup is still 100% clean. The bottom does occasionally require a bit of scraping to remove all the residue, but not much.

    Between the lawsuit and this, Puffco should be worried. On top of an overpriced base, it took expensive 3rd party glass and cups for my Peak to even feel like a good device. Yet right out of the box, the Carta is already better than my modded Peak. And I haven't even installed the app yet. As...

    I threw a few more strains of rosin at quartz level 2 and ohhh my goodness! I can barely get my stuff to taste this good on my e-nail. Game changer, no doubt. Can't wait to get the updated Helix. There is definitely room for improvement on the carb cap though. I would be interested to hear what...

    Mine was delivered just now. Really nice to have the extra atomizer, thanks @FocusV! Additionally, as a beta customer, it's great to have a backup glass piece, carb cap, and set of batteries. Took 4 quick dabs just to capture some early impressions. #1: Titanium cup, level 1, hot load - This...

    Anyone catch the live stream last night and hear if there were updates on the ios app?

    Nope, Focus V is letting us keep them. Helix did ask for my glass back though in order to replace it. I'd be happy to donate my beta unit for science as it'll be pretty much useless now. However, it would also be a v1 atomizer. DM me with your details if interested

    fwiw my order hasn't shipped yet, just fulfilled. Seems like everything will be going out starting Monday. Focus V has been pretty good about fulfilling orders now that they actually have their inventory. Only a few more days until it's in your hands. You could cancel, but if the Carta takes...

    If you took advantage of the glass pre-order, you're still coming out ahead. Prices on glass came up significantly for launch. edit: I just got the shipping notification for my Carta! Woot! Doesn't have the replacement glass on the invoice so I guess that will be shipping separately.

    Yeah, when people start showing up with names like Waiting4carta, you can't help rolling your eyes. If the Carta delivers, and I'm sure it will, this will all be a distant memory soon :)

    I think we were just operating by the principle that the first people who paid for the units should be the first people to get the units, especially if they paid months before anyone else. Not the end of the world, but definitely a little irksome to see shops and reviewers get prioritized over...

    Puffco Peak

    Class action suits suck, but I don't have much sympathy for Puffco. It's a wide open market for someone to come along and do better.

    @FocusV do you guys have the replacement glass in yet? Will those be shipping separately from the base for the early adopters? Any idea when we'll be able to get that? Btw, I saw that the Helix glass price is now $180 :o Makes me really glad I got in on that early. Great piece though, and still...
