SECRET PIVOT MODES
Ok this is getting confusing regarding Pivot secret modes so i was thinking i would compile a list of pivot I've seen. These are neither complete or verified by me & not written by me. I think this list needs to be edited and consolidated and maybe even corrected. If it is not complete feel free to add to the list. Here is what i have so far:
TERP PEARLS
On a completely Different note i finally got some terp pearls to try out. In my case purple quartz 3 mm spheres. I went with 1 in there to start because even at 3 mm it looks crowded. So to try and keep it consistent i tried a scenario that replicated the last usage. For example the most recent strain i had in there & a similar amount of concentrate, similar temp settings as before (green). Obviously no stunning visuals like spinning terp pearls because you can't see in chamber, but it did seem to change things a bit in terms of taste. My observations are as follows:

- 5 Click after starting in the blue setting to get low temp (NEW)
- 5 Click after starting in the white setting to get higher temp
- 3 Click any time during cycle to activate disco mode (lights)
- On white double click than after it vibrates three clicks. Double click than after it vibrates five clicks and you get a different rainbow
- Boost modes are activated on blue setting and after it vibrates click 5 times or on white click 5 times after it vibrates. 3 clicks after it vibrates on any color will make it go rainbow, but doesn’t do anything temp wise.

Obviously no stunning visuals like spinning terp pearls because you can't see in chamber, but it did seem to change things a bit in terms of taste. My observations are as follows:
- After applying a rice grain size load from the hot knife it seems to take some time to heat up the pearl. First load seemed more sparse than normal.
- on a reload the pearl easily accepts material from the hot knife when it is warm.
- It took almost half of that first session to really come on in terms of flavor.
- Taste was comparable as before but quickly seemed to get hotter than usual by the time the session timer was counting down.
- My biggest observation is that looking in the chamber after the session it appeared that my single terp pearl was still somewhat coated in concentrate. This may make cleanup even easier. -on the flip side of that statement may need to ensure the pearl gets a regular iso bath and do that prior to the qtip clean up. My first chamber chazzed so i am watching cautiously.
- The second session 10 min later seemed to go better than this first.
- I will have to play with this some more to see what else i notice.
- & I almost forgot to mention is that once the majority of concentrate is used up this thing will spin like crazy! It is very noticeable and that is with only ONE terp ball.

I didn't remember seeing this but I noticed clicking 3 times when it's not running allows you to cycle to the last heat setting and back. Nothing crazy but may be useful to know!
I got the other two glass pieces in from SH and the amber tinted one seems to actually perform quite well while the clear glass one seems to not have much airflow at all for some reason. I think the slit diameter is smaller but I can't say for sure.
If more are like the amber one I got then I would recommend without reservation, however the variance seems to be a bit much still from piece to piece. I still think a slanted cut for the air to promote cyclonic action would be better than the straight cut which is causing splashing at draw strengths I would have had a completely clean silicone MP after doing. I'm not a fan of that since it means I'm wasting a lot to the bottom of the glass.
Taste is incredible though on all 3, just only the amber one I'll end up keeping.

3 clicks in standby indicates battery level (red/yellow/green LED)
1 click shows you the heat setting you're at.
I also possible that I'm misunderstanding what you're saying

This really made me spill my drink from laughing!
At that point i was expecting a Find-the-Pokemon-mode tbh...
I do wonder if anyone out there is doing the "double/haptic/triple double/haptic/quintuple click disco-vape-dance" to get ...
a different rainbow?
Wait... so there's a default rainbow too?
Is this a vape or a click operated lgtbq-lightsabre?
i'm so sorry, could not resist...

Doesn’t seem much more complex than the TM, actually. But device comparisons are odious…This really made me spill my drink from laughing!

Hmm, don't know about that tbh.
With how i use my TM i only need to do the three clicks to turn it on in the morning and then a cloud is just one click away...
That's about as simple as can be, no?
To be fair: I've never felt the need to do recalibration, i agree that that is a bit more involved but that's not something you do everyday so it can be complicated imo.
But with this Pivot there sure is a lot of clicking going on.
And lots of fun modes, secret modes, light modes... like Granny mode (don't know what it does but it's funny to me)!
I'm not judging it on that but sure think some options sound hilarious (to me
)

And like the TM you can use it productively with a subset of those clicks. Back on topic…Hmm, don't know about that tbh.

I may be a basic gay, but rainbow mode definitely sold me on the proxy, and I’m definitely considering a pivot now even though I can’t handle concentrates. I’m assuming the default rainbow probably has all the colours rotating around the light section like with the proxy/peak and the high temp rainbow is probably flashier (pun intended) to emphasise the higher heat and complicated input?This really made me spill my drink from laughing!

To be clear: i was merely making a joke. It did make me laugh out loud when i read the instructions how to get a "rainbow" but i'm completely oblivious as to what these modes mean or do.
Sadly i don't have access to concentrates (That's probably why all these terms like rainbow and granny mode don't mean much to me)
so can't try out the device (which does look cool and sounds like a solid choice).
But i do think that when i would be vaping concentrates these instructions would fuck me up for real...
I mean, to me this sounds like a lot of clicks and difficult combo's to remember while getting high. I see myself ending up in a mode without knowing where i am or how i got there...
Which is not necessarily a bad thing

No worries, got the intent!
Yeah that’s fair, most of them are pretty simple and all are optional and should be cleared when done with the current heat cycle. Generally you only need to know the 2 clicks to start heating, 2 clicks for standard boost while hot (more time and more heat), then press and hold to shut off early.
God and granny mode (5 clicks on white and blue temps for extra hot or extra cold settings respectively) are nice to remember if you want a challenge or if even the coldest temp is too hot for you, but are basically just a special versions of the standard boost mode that you activate with 2 clicks while the device is on.
Standard rainbow/disco modes are generally just cosmetic so you don’t always have to stare at the same colour of lights all the time. I discovered them when trying to boost and clicking 1 to many times and would turn it on as soon as I started my proxy afterwards.
Secret rainbow’s inputs read like activating standard boost, then disco mode, then god mode (2 clicks, haptic confirm, 3 clicks, haptic confirm, then 5), so it’s probably either the same temp as god mode with a different light pattern or extra extra hot mode.
Same! I discovered rainbow mode on accident (but knew it was there when I got my proxy), and spent the next gram of concentrate trying to remember how I activated it. I really miss the easter egg era where you would have a convoluted path of inputs to unlock hidden minigames in things ranging from Excel, to copy machines, to even the Pax 2. Always was really confusing when you first stumbled upon it, but then becomes a fun treat to play with, especially while under the influence.I mean, to me this sounds like a lot of clicks and difficult combo's to remember while getting high.

Ya know, I was pretty medicated by that message, but if I click 3 times after changing the temp level I swear to god it is different.3 clicks in standby indicates battery level (red/yellow/green LED)
1 click shows you the heat setting you're at.
I also possible that I'm misunderstanding what you're saying
I can cycle through every color and it will revert to the previous one each time I do it and then back if I click three times again.

I hope these get back in stock soon! I missed it earlier, and it looks pert near perfect.

My take is that your battery is depleted and the second triple click you do does nothing.
What I see in the video :
While on white you triple click then it shows red light = low battery, then it goes back to white light (the temp you're at).
Then you do the same on blue, and again after your triple click it shows you the red light = low battery, before going back to your set temp (blue)
As I said, I was able to cycle through all of them but imgur cut the video short for size limits. The first clicks before it was trimmed cycled blue and green. It would be pretty crazy to time it so on different days after recharges the lights are changing due to a certain battery level. I used that pivot one time prior in the video so it was still full.
I've done this 5 times now but cannot get it to repeat every time, and I did it with two different devices. I don't know what to say
Also, in the video, the first triple click shows green like I would expect since it was only used once since recharge but that is also the previous temp setting. If the battery is depleted and the first battery check shows it full only to change to depleted the next temp level then they have a programming issue.
Edit: pondering... UNLESS the battery indicator is not so much a percentage report but instead is calibrated to give you a better idea of how much juice is left at each level. That would check out for what I'm seeing where it is changing the color on triple click depending on what temp setting I'm on. That would also explain why I can't repeat it every time and I only first noticed it after finishing a session.

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
There is a quick start up and use guide, but nothing covering all the functions included. I came here to find out how to use it. I think including a detailed instruction booklet would have been helpful.
My unit is shelved for now. I guess it's me, but even the lowest granny setting is too hot for my throat with the short vapor path. I'll wait for a cheap mouthpiece option that keeps it discreet yet truly cools the vapor a bit more. I'm sure it will come out of storage in the summer when I need something for my travels, but for home use I'll go back to my Core 2.

I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I intend to catch up on it so I can learn some of the hidden features.
I have to say I am loving my Pivot. For my needs, it is perfect. I wanted something that can do low temps, multiple hits/sessions per dabs, and with a WPA to connect to my existing glass instead of buying all new glass pieces that only fit one device.
I had been eyeing the Proxy for a while (it also checks those boxes) but I didn't think the Proxy would be super portable or appropriate for my situations (family gatherings) and I love how the Pivot can be used a small wax pen OR a e-rig on any water piece. The native hits are pretty hot for me, but I just end the session after 1 hit puff on blue, keep hitting until it cools off, then I can re-heat later on the same dab.
The Pivot with the WPA fits perfectly on my Grav Upline Bubbler. It's incredibly easy to use, and very tasty. So far I have not chazzed anything (been using it for a week). I'm using one 3mm ruby in the chamber.

Apologies for the double post, I don't seem to be able to edit my last post. I wanted to share the almost perfect fit of the Pivot on the Grav Upline Upright Bubbler
The 14mm downstem is recessed in this bubbler which makes it a bad fit for some angled accessories. The Pivot WPA does fit pretty well, but I sometimes push down on the WPA while hitting to get the WPA to fit snugly in the downstem. Pushing down doesn't seem to make a big difference, so the seal is probably fine without doing so.
The body of the pivot does touch the body of the bubbler, so the vibration is quite loud.

That's a beauty. The Grav Upline Bubbler is a long time favorite piece.
I guess I need to read back but you bought a premium priced product and now it is "shelved"? That's not a good endorsement. Still can't get over some people are spending close to $200 for this device.
