I got a couple of packages today
:)
My replacement cap from focus v warranty claim arrived
And my spare atomisers and batteries from puff it up
Focus V sent me a cap to replace the broken one I had
I'm not sure what's material they use but it is a plastic type part that screws on top that surrounds the metal lid itself
The one they sent as a replacement is a ceramic lid that has metal threads and an all ceramic lid for vapour to pass
It has a silicone Cover to shield fingers from heat when screwing on/off
This lid is a much better construction than the one that comes with the atomizer that is metal lid with plastic type material threads
It functions really well
The flavour is slightly different, but still quite nice
The vapour is a lot smoother and nicer to inhale
The Ti bucket seemed to clean up a bit easier so maybe better vapourisation using this ceramic lid
Really happy with the CS from Focus and the upgraded lid they sent as a replacement
Also the honouring of warranty despite the apparent issue with dabnation pointed out by
@LesPlenty
Pictures next to the of lid that I've repaired with twine
The spare batteries I got from PIU are perfect
They also have 1200ma printed on each individual battery as the ones that came with my Carta
Given that these are from PIU I believe them to be genuine
They came in a nice little carry case
Pics of batteries, case and of new and old together showing they say they are 1200ma
I also got one of the dry herb atomisers to try
Now I did this to see and for fun
All reports are it isn't great on dry herb
I can see why people say it is not good and I probably won't use it a lot
But it does get you stoned and appears to extract quite well and evenly
It has a ceramic chamber which usually gives good flavour
It tastes good - but the flavour is not strong so it's a bit weird
Also there is not a lot of visible vapour
A few puffs and it's done with thin vapour
Definitely can see why people say it doesn't work especially if you are a cloud chaser like I can be at times
But it actually got me quite buzzed
You just don't notice at first because you don't get a lot of or thick vapour and there is no flavour burst
It's very subtle with a decent hit
So not my best herb vaporizer but actually more capable than I thought
The avb/abv is pretty even and brown
I had first sesh start on lowest setting
I had to step it up and ended up using top temperature
I didn't really get any vapour until full temp
The second bowl I went on full from start and got better vapour production on exhale but still not huge clouds
It's interesting as the preset temps are
500
630
770
842 in fahrenheit
Which would normally be too hot for dry herb at the lowest temp
I think the design of the atomiser probably makes the inside temp a lot less than when using rosin buckets atomiser
Only thing I can think anyway
The spare wax atomiser from PIU looks identical to the one that came with my Carta
Hopefully I won't need to use it for a good while
Pics of avb and atomiser
It also came with a tyre like silicone piece that I have no idea where it goes or what it is for
Overall still really loving this vape
Even more so knowing if I need it is capable of getting me stoned with dry herb and also since using the ceramic lid
Upgraded and better
Spare batteries is great to have too
I am still negotiating a replacement for the sic bucket that disappeared from my mailbox apparently from the gate
I think once this arrives I will enjoy the Carta even more so
