Focus V Aeris

[letter never sent]

Focus V just dropped their newest device. The Aeris is available now for $229. Looks like the Puffco Proxy has some new competition…

AERIS | Portable Dab Rig in your pocket

A dabbing device that fits in your pocket? You got it. AERIS delivers the power of the CARTA 2 in a palm-sized dab device. Tight enough to fit in your pocket but big enough to produce real clouds, the AERIS creates large smoke from a small device. This Smart Vaporizer makes dabbing-on-the-go...

Interesting. But a big benefit of the Proxy is, unlike other wax pens, the heat from the atomizer radiates up into the air, instead of the users mouth. And the pipe format allows for a long "stem" in an ergonomic way, increasing vapor comfort. The vapor path on the Aeris looks very short, unless I'm missing something.

To me it looks more like their version of the Cricket, especially with the emphasis on the convection cooling mouthpiece. Seems interesting, hopefully it’ll come in purple eventually

Extra PROPRIETY battery $70.00, instead of a replaceable 18650…..

Could be worse, better than early landfill or they could have offered a battery swap in-house for $200+ like at least one company I know.

I will be honest, this thing looks pretty cool.

Hard to believe i am taking a closer look at this when i have more than enough devices for me now.

This may have just made my Pico/Sai and Pico/V5 obsolete. Proxy with all the glass attachments is a little delicate for certain "on the go" activities, and isn't exactly pocketable, but I looks like you could bring this "in da club" or to a festival or maybe even to a stadium. I love my Proxy through by my bong with a WPA, but this looks like a great way to enjoy concentrates, say for example, if you step outside a restaurant. Usually I bring a 510 rosin cart in those situations but I'd much rather have access to pure concentrates.

 

[Piecho]

So they make gamification from the dabing experience?
That made me feel old : D

Not a device for me, as RustyOldNail mentioned, they could go with removable battery. You see larger universal accus in Arizer Pro for example.

Didn't have time to go through the whole video. But it does sound like there's some sort of Mighty like "cooling unit" going on in the mouthpiece. Which is good because they're using the same 14mm heater used in the Carta 2. A half inch path between a big heater and your mouth only works with some sort of cooling contraption.

Looking forward to seeing some reviews. It's a slightly more discreet option than a pipe with flashing lights on it. Although it will still have the problem shared by all non-Proxy wax pens. You gotta hit it like this:

Watched a little more of the video.

It puts out an insane amount of vapor. Like a big Peak Pro dab. It somewhat handled .3 grams at one point. Seemed faster to get to temp than the Proxy.

The dudes didn't really seem to cough either. Didn't really catch too much about the vapor comfort though.

The vapor path seems to be all ceramic, which is cool. But I don't know how pocketable it is. Might look a little weird unless you're wearing really loose pants. Otherwise you might get HR called on you.

I don't love using apps but it is nice that you can program the exact temp you want.

welcome23 gets you 10% off. i just got one and already have shipping. i think it's the perfect i idea for a portable

Anyone tried it yet?

 

[Madtater]

I watched the video of them doing their dabs and explaining the device. It looks good, but i have a question that wasnt addressed in the video.

I realize that it is the same atomizer for the carta 2, but is the aeris able to use the flower atomizer that the carta 2 uses? Is that even an option?

I am also curious if anyone has tried it yet, and am also interested in knowing how interchangeable the aeris is with the carta 2z

 

[Joshtownsend]

they said you could use it in the video. they also said they wouldn't confirm or deny an xl atomizer is coming. I'll have mine Tuesday if it doesn't get caught up in the storm.

Cant wait for a enail adapter. If you can use it like that it's a game changer

A Divine Tribe v5 can do wonders with that half-inch path. I feel like this will really shine at low temps, so I hope the built-in temps go low enough (imho the Proxy could use an ultra low setting). My v5 is great for low temp dabbing, however getting it set up and being 100% reliable with TCR, while low-temping isn't exactly a "beginner-friendly" experience. If the Aeris can make low temping available in a zero configuration pen format, then I'm in.

Zero config setup. Does that mean using without the app and you want an inherent low voltage/temp setting?

I am only asking for clarification purposes because they said in the video you can change the temp profiles in the app.

Just trying to figure out what people look for in these types of devices and why for my own personal knowledge.

IME, all that heat gets transferred to the v5's mouthpiece very quickly. That's the advantage of the Proxy. The heater isn't directly below the stem. But the v5 is made out of metal. The Aeris uses ceramic which should help with comfort.

so I hope the built-in temps go low enough

My understanding is you can set the temps to whatever you want via the app. This is an advantage over the Proxy.

[floribud]

Since it's the exact same heater as the Carta v2, the temp range on the Carta v2 is 365F to 635F. Proxy low temp is 505 ... I'm in

 

[80Sixed]

Just pulled the trigger on one. Gonna put it up against the cricket and the v5. Don’t have the carta to compare it to

 

[Joshtownsend]

shouldnt this be in released side now? mines already at the downtown post office so it's definitely been released and is real

Haha just pick it up and open it first!

 

[tonuzzi]

Mine should be here tomorrow. I have a couple of grams of hash rosin just waiting

 

[Joshtownsend]

tomorrow is a holiday. Have to wait until Tuesday.

Also the vapor goes down the cup then back up around it, like a puffco pro. So it's not going directly up from the bowl like a dt5 or lightning quest. Should be cooler.
