Awesome ok can’t wait

I had problems with the first box arriving smashed up and not working. Second box arrived but then the stick wouldn’t recognize the different pods. Now I finally got it all working with the latest version of the Sofi app. I am looking forward to trying it out and also to trying the S2 passiflora pods. I hope that you are on to something here because so many have trouble sleeping. :sleeping_bed: :cherry_blossom:

We’ll look forward to hearing your experience monabg. So please feel free to share what you think of sofi. And yes, the passiflora pods are something I am very curious about as well!

The stick stopped working again. I think that the battery is empty. Does the stick use a lot of energy? No energy saving mode? I think that you have some more work to do both on the hardware and software for the stick. There needs to be something mechanical guiding how you enter the pod into the stick so that it will only be possible to get it into a perfect position. If not the spray will end up inside the stick and make it messy.
The valerian worked fine at first, but then the effect became more erratic. Some nights I sleep well and other night, like tonight, I wake up at 3:45 and can’t fall back asleep. So my hopes go out to the passiflora pods.

Thank you for your feedback, @monabg. It is helpful as always. I believe the sofi team is working on our input, which is already yours included. We are all excited and impatiently waiting to try S2 passiflora as well.
Take care and enjoy the journey! :slight_smile:

Evening @monabg and so glad you’re on this journey with us. Also adding @alexwalkerjones to this thread so we can share some of the feedback with the team.

With the first build of sofi we were trying to establish a data bridge to our pioneers. We are aware of the power consumption of the first set of electronics and you be pleased to know that this is going to be improved in two major ways … electronic components in the S2 build and rechargeable lithium cell in the S3 … all ahead of us!

We are also improving the range of rotation possible on the S2 build from +/- 15 degrees to +/- 150 degrees … as long as you point the bottle relative direction of the front and let gravity drop it in you have a pretty good chance of perfect alignment.

It’s really important that you journal as long as you can your valerian use … what we can see is that the response to valerian (and most likely most medicinal plants) is deeply individual for each pioneer and it will take some time to establish it with lag effects that are many times as long as 7 to 10 days … so I wouldn’t worry about a single nights effect to valerian you took tonight or even last night or been the night before … most pioneers have lag responses beyond 3 days. Plants need us to be patient and some times they take a little while to establish their effect.

Loving all the feedback and once again so extremely grateful to have you here with us on this journey. Some amazing discoveries ahead of us. xx :pray:
