AtmosRaw

[OF]

$200 dollars is a lot to spend to be ignored by the customer service team, I would be pretty mad, and anger over something meant to soothe is ridiculous.

Wow! Being a guy that has trouble getting thoughts boiled down to a few words my hat's definitely off to you for that last bit. Going even further the sentence segment "anger over something meant to soothe is ridiculous" is close enough to the true meaning of life here for me. We come here to lower blood pressure and enjoy, the base standard for ratings needs to reflect that.

It has to work every time for that to happen.

Hi FC,

FYi - I just received a NEW & DIFFERENT glass screen SET sent to me by Atmos to be used in the Raw. The first screen that I received from the company was a small honeycomb screen that arrived broken. The second screens that I received today are one slightly thicker piece of glass and a second piece of glass that is the same size but has a hole in the center. They came in the same package so I take it that they are to be used on conjunction in the chamber of the AtmosRaw. I strongly encourage any AtmosRaw users to contact the company and get the NEW set of screens they are sending out free of charge. Sorry, I won't be able to tell you how they work as I've already returned the unit for a refund. Hopefully someone else will post if they make the unit truly vaporize or not. Atmos should have determined the screens were needed and included them from the beginning, but at least I know they're trying.

AGREED

agreed

FYI,

On 3/30, Atmos contacted me and got my mailing address so they could send me the glass screen (this was 1 week after I contacted them).

Today is 5/6 and the glass screen is nowhere in sight.

Atmos, shady as f*ck. Stay away, I cannot recommend this "vape" to *anybody*, as much as I wanted to like it..

Howdy KT, how ya keeping?

For sure nobody can say you don't keep trying and trying...or at least they'd better be ready for outright, prolonged, laughter if they do.

Sadly, your story is not alone. Even the guys who so far have had no problems at best so far have had no problems. Even if you get past the 'newbie' and 'shill' factors, the real risks remain.

I hope these guys can get their collective act together and try again with a more mature product. They took a risk, in part to provide us with more choice in the marketplace....that's a very good thing IMO. I hope they take the risk again, and have a better product, support structure and experience in the vape selling business on their side. We win too then.

Heya OF!

Things are keeping well, I've been away in seattle/portland for the past 2 weeks without medical relief (my twin brother who subsequently left to a non-US-extradition country shortly afterwards did, however, sneak some goldcaps across state lines in a vitamin E bottle). I ended up getting an itchy finger, and ordered an LSV while I was out there. Just got home early this morning to the LSV waiting for me.

Disappointed though, to see that in those 2 weeks nothing from Atmos came. I really want to put the glass screen in there, push the metal no2 screen further down, and see if I can get it working as a quick 2-3 second mflb-style hitter.

Sadly, as you can see, things are not going well. But with this new LSV (picking up some glass this wednesday), I am vaping flower happily. I'll probably give the atmosRAW to a friend of mine who loves to just straight up smoke with fire. (FIRE BAD!!!)

Hi all, I recently took hold of the atmosraw, read most reviews on various sites but finally decided to get one after watching wegonegetit video on YouTube. That video made me believe that this unit could vaporise fairly easily.

Unfortunately, I could achieve nothing but ash. It tasted like smoking wood very acrid. I made myself a small screen insert and managed a very small amount of vapour.

The unit also got fairly hot and the button moved around. I am lucky because the company I purchased the unit from have agreed a refund and are aware of the issues.

How is the guy in the YouTube video achieving the performance with the AR? I am convinced that it is not all combustion because when it does combust, it does so very quickly (in my experience) yet he is able to draw for sometime and his abv is mixed/ charred but not ash.

Very frustrated as this unit would have been great

Hey, I'm not saying this is what happens, but let me put a few drops of Pure Gold in there too and I can get you huge clouds on a load of cat litter. Guaranteed, every time. IMO, UTube videos prove nothing, but can be entertaining.....

Not to worry, this unit seems to be a knock off for units that actually do work. What is it you want to do? Vape herb or concentrates? There are proven performers from great makers that actually take responsibility and return calls and all.

Pity you didn't find us before spending your hard earned bucks, but you've found us now, what's your pleasure?

Here is the link to the video

. I also wondered if maybe there had been some additive to generate larger clouds, but from my experience with the AR if the button was held as long as shown then the unit will combust.

This forum has been a great resource for me so far. What do I want to achieve? Well I am trying to break free of smoking but enjoy the creativity that weed generates in me. I want clouds and the experience of smoking and portability without any whips or plugs. It seems that things are happening fairly rapidly right now so I am checking this forum several times per day.

Regards

Cool. Let me suggest you start with a Vapor Genie. Much like smoking in that you need fire and it's pipe like. Does herb well, teaches you about vaping in a broad way, giving you lots of room to experiment. Most models clean up easily and are very low maintenance in general. You can get models that work well with bongs and/or are 'pocket friendly'. They're tough and cheap, made in USA (if that's important to you?) and come in all sorts of models and even colors.

IMO a great 'gateway vape'. One you're likely to come back to play with again over and over after you 'move on'

Good luck on your adventures.

No. It's an obvious thing to try, many have, none succeeded (which is why success isn't being discussed). Feel free to repeat those tests if you wish.

so my atmos has been sitting around with no use, till now. my friend got a hold of a pollen press and made these keif pellets? so I picked up 2, broke a little piece off (hard as a rock) , slapped it in the atmos, with the vapir no2 screens all the way at the bottom by the coil, and I must say, not bad. not bad at all. after a couple hits it starts to break down and get soft so I just push it down to the bottom to make sure its closer to the coil. It started a nice gold color and by the time im done its mostly brown with a little black/burnt. but not bad id say for a good 5 hits its def good vape and it tastes great. once I push it down the next couple hits are a little ligther and so on

I found an entertaining/informative video on the Atmosraw.

 

[jambandphan03]

This is what I am using mine for now, I put some bubble hash in there, and run it through a water pipe...

 

[jambandphan03]

anyone have a source for the little honeycomb glass screen AR was sending out? I would like a few more of them, and google isn't helping. It needs to be the same size, about a 1/4"

I purchased the AtmosRaw about two weeks ago, works great except for one major flaw. The battery won't charge. Atmos sent me a replacement battery which worked great until it died. I plugged it into my charger but the light just stays green and does not charge my battery (I though to myself, hmm maybe it's the charger). Went to my local head shop and purchased a new charger which charged it once and the same the same thing happened. Battery died I plugged it in to charge and once again no red light just green. Any one know if there's a way to do a hard reset on the battery?

It depends on what you mean by battery. If you mean the most technically accurate meaning, the battery itself, not the power supply it's in, the answer is I think no. FWIW, that usage is also not correct, it's actually a "cell" (being a single unit, batteries are two or more working together like a battery of cannons), there are no true batteries anywhere to be found. Persei, for instance, uses a battery for 7.4 Volts (two 3.7 Volt cells in series), but only a single cell for 3.7 Volts. If you mean the common, but incorrect term 'battery' when 'power supply' is really what you mean (meaning the entire ATMOS unit, not the battery (cell) inside it) the answer is I think again, no.

There's a lot of important electronics in there to get the only port to work for charge and discharge. The actual charge controller is built in the supply. The charger unit is only a precision voltage source (which is why they interchange).

The short of it is I'd be sending both the supply and charger back (retaining the contaminated part). Bummer, but they have to charge so you can discharge them. I think you're SOL until then?

Good luck.

So I as well have been following this thread for quite some time. I literally just became a member of FC today so I could post about my AR that I just got today. I simply bought this unit for the use if my bubble hash. Its basically all I smoke and at home I dab it on a nail. It is full melt very high quality bubble.

Anyway I first got the unit I charged it up for about 3 hours and couldnt resist. I through in the same amount I would dab off my bubbler, about a .1 and it gave me 2-3 solid hits. I could of taken a 4th but the flavor would of just not been there. Either way I cleaned it out and tried again, I noticed some hash left over stuck on the coil which just ashed up after the second load not really affecting the flavor to much.

After the 3rd bowl I decided to clean off the coil by running it on for a bit making sure I got all remains from my last bowl of bubble. Just like I do with my nail, Now I know the nail is titanium and this is not but in about a minutes time of repressing the button keeping the coil on to the point i could not touch the heating chamber i noticed light smoke and a not so nice smell coming from the unit. I immediately stopped and figured it was just some bubble that got caught under the wire. Well I bought 2 of these units one was for my gf and thought I should do the same with hers since it was still brand new. To my surprise the heating chamber started turning black and the unit started smoking again.

Has anyone seen this or tried it? This doesn't seem very safe to me as its letting of some strange fumes, Im sure something is cooking in that chamber that wouldnt be very safe to inhale?

Im not to happy about this as I did spend some good money on the units buying them directly from Atmos. With a coupon of course.

Please anyone out there let me hear your feedback on this. Especially from Atmos Retailer that has posted previously on this thread.

The unit does work amazingly well for bubble hash and like i said its what i primarily bought it for but that fact that the unit started letting off its own smoke scared the shit out of me.

21 pages of bad reviews and your surprised your heating chamber is broken after a few loads? sorry mate but some people just learn the hard way. I will not inhale from any of those heating chambers again, as I have experienced this dry burning on a new chamber.

 

[Pixel]

The bad reviews were on the unit not properly vaporizing flowers. Its does work wonders with bubble hash again im just worried about that smoke I saw today from a prolonged coil heating to burn off excess bubble.

I read through this whole thing and not one person brought this up. Especially when people are purging for longer times to heat up through multiple screens trying to achieve vaporization. They were probably inhaling who knows what else!

And I dont think MY heating chamber is broken. Im pretty sure ALL units do this as I just said I bought 2 and tried it on the other unit as well.

If the unused chamber is smoking without any substances then this is a problem, where did you purchase? amazon, direct from atmos etc? I would be in contact with them immediately. I'm assuming you don't want to keep them, the only bad thing is they might charge a restocking fee. I'm sorry more bubble hash users haven't piped up their experiences in the thread, mostly the substances have been botanicals and oils/wax. I bought mine for the latter and it might have worked a few times, but as soon as the wire gets coated and dries it must start corroding, but goodness knows what we were inhaling like you said. I hope all works out and you find the best possible way to enjoy your hash Btw welcome to the fuckcombustion mate

As another thought, normally this heater would have PG around it to boil off. That happens just under 400F. When running dry, this cooling is not available and things get hotter than ever intended. That could well be what is being smelled? To safely vape concentrates of any sort it seems to me the rig has to tolerate being run dry as it will happen to it in service sooner or later.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be hitting it. After all we came here trying to limit the nasty stuff we're sucking in, right?

Keep in mind when I say it smokes its after sitting there for close to a minute of keeping the coil on. the unit just continues to get hot until a nice clear stream of smoke is coming off of somewhere.
