Sounds like it's going into suspend mode way too quickly. But it does do this, just not in 3s normally.

Any idea on how to not put it into suspend mode? I have not come across that function in any of instructions.

EDIT: Sorry should read before posting. Its not suspend mode, had to look it up hold for 3s then one button on, no this is deffo 5 clicks on again to start.

Can we do any firmware updates to the device? Maybe through the app?

Also is is Focus 5 or Focus Vee?

Well knowing my luck of course the Android File they gave me seems to be corrupt. I have already reached out to get the updated android tonight. I cant test the iOS upgrade so anyone with an iOS device DM me so I can send you the file direct for your testing. I think there is a app i need to use to get that setup for you to use on iOS manual install but again hard for me to test without a device :/ but more then willing to work with any Apple guys out there to get it going for everyone!


Attys:

We will be adding the heating elements as well as an Atty repair kit to the site next week. The repair kit will have any tools needed to do the job easily (good set of cutters, tweezers and some ceramic heaters etc..) we will also add the actual heating element to the site as well. for basically like $5.00 you will be able to get 4 to 5 heating elements that way if you prefer long term you can just replace that portion. the housing of the atty should almost always be fine. its 100% of the time going to be a ceramic issue if there is an issue.
(still working on the everlast atty. making some progress will post some details when its closer to prototype phase.)

We will still also have the subscription option available! which will include such items as the heating elements, attys, buckets, carb caps etc...


Pretty close to the Dry Herb Atty getting out to the beta guys! I am stoked to get that thing up and out there.

Any Updates on the dry herb atty?

How about the magna carta all black version?

They said on an IG stream that the apps have been submitted to the app stores. They have completed their part and are waiting on the stores to actually release it.

they also mentioned a weird response from apple about maybe having to send them a unit to verify functionality, but they didn't expect any issues.

Agreed. I Just hope they get their shit together soon.
They also said that the new site, warehouse, new staff, should all be in place this week, and y'all beta testers dry herb attys are supposed to ship the next couple days.

They're having the identical issue with both app stores? Seems kinda weird. The review process does not take this long unless there are problems.

From the live streams that I have caught, here is my take

1) their developer was behind on getting the app finished
2) they did not have a duns number, which was required to submit to the Apple App Store
3) the Apple App Store is now reviewing their submission

All of that said, I have been successfully using the iOS beta app for over a month now. The instructions on the reddit sub worked flawlessly for me on both iPad and iPhone. I was not able to get the app to discover my carta using a couple of different android devices.

The app does take the Carta to a different level. So much so that I won’t even use my carta if I don’t have my phone nearby (or when I need to reinstall the beta authorization once a week)

I'm hoping the app comes soon. My Carta is still stuck in Vape Session mode and won't go above 500 degrees F.

Tried everything to get it to recognize the atomizer as a concentrate, but still thinks it's a dry herb atomizer.

Doesn't work for me either. Still can't find the Carta.
Long wait for absolutely nothing.
:bang:


I still don't understand the permissions either. Why does the app need to make direct phone calls, read active call info, report my precise gps location, read/modify/delete the contents of my SD card?

Very hesitant to pick one of these up now..:ugh:

Few are having issues and some aren't. Maybe just wait and see how it all plays out

Thanks found the app in the play store. The strange thing is, I had the latest version from the website and I just had to open the all. There was no install so it appears to be the same version.

Still doesn't work with Android 9.0 :\

I thought that at first too, but we side loaded the last one, not sure it reads it the same. I uninstalled the side loaded one and installed from the play store, will didn't find my unit.

As for the permissions, certainly no reason for phone access, it'll only go on old, unregistered phones with no connection to my info :evil:

I had some issues with mine, but I just talked with them today and they are helping out. Very responsive. I'm seeing this doing very well, despite minor hiccups like every new product.

Is there any other place than Focus's website to get atomizers for now? I'm in Canada, ordered from the $175 cream city vapes deal, but they did not have any atomizers. Focus's shipping is very high for Canada. Any plans to get Canadian distributors for this stuff? I'd love to have a backup atomizer without paying twice as much for shipping.

Dependent on how the software was written to communicate with device could be the explanation for all those requirements. I highly doubt focus v cares about all that data nor wants it. More often then not google and or apple require the developer to have user access before the app is approved.

I own a switch, peak, Loto legend, and a ditanium as far as dab devices go and my dry herb collection is even more extensive. In all the years I’ve spent reading these forums, IMO focus v has done a pretty damn good job. They are responsive, whether their reasoning changes or the time line changes they haven’t left me hanging like puffco or grasshopper. And for those of us beta testers we knew what we were getting ourselves into, almost every single product has had their fair share of issues especially the smaller companies. But the CARTA performs fantastic if you use it properly. I try to explain to people the biggest issue they are going to have moving over from a tradition banger torch set-up to and e-rig is the strength of your pull. All vapes seem to function way better if you hit slower. The way the peak and CARTA atomizers are designed if you pull too hard your oil spill overs onto the atomizer and into the vapor path.

It appears there was another overhaul of the website. Atomizers and subscriptions after available again. Overall the site is much improved!
