that is so it can be moved to various positions and remain plugged in.... and also so the wire can come up from behind a table.exit said:

The NO2 is an efficient vape... one of my most efficient, and I use it daily. Considering the choices at my disposal, and what I have disposed of already, the fact that I and so many others use it every day says much about it!ktx49 said:

So I got my replacement NO2 the other day, also smelled of rubber. I'm washing my hands of this unit completely. I am returning this new smelly unit along with the one that doesn't smell and using the money to buy a MFLB. Not going to chance inhaling melting chemicals and am returning it while I still can. I'd like to think I've learned some sort of lesson from all of this but since I'm just going to order another vaporizer online I'm sure that I haven't.

So upon my wait for the mivape, and thermovape v2, I think i will pick one of these up from my LHS. I am friends with the owner, so Im pretty sure he will let me open up the box, and smell the vape.
I really do not want to get a nasty one, so can someone help me differentiate between the "factory smells", and the "cheap knockoff, never go away shitty smell". I want to be sure.
Thanks
Edit: Off topic: For some reason, all 6 of my LHS on the island that i have been to all have N02s, but no one has Solos

The tubing will need to be washed in hot water (not boiling).
I have been present at the opening of dozens (not stretching it) of NO2 units. None have smelled bad, they have all had the same smell a flashlight or electric toothbrush has coming out of the box.
If you have a friend who will open the box, just take a whiff.
No need to differentiate between "normal" factory odors.. or "nasty" odors...
if in any way there is an odor that is forbidding or a turn off just don't buy it.
Once you do buy it, dont be so anxious to use it that you do not READ and then FOLLOW the instructions.
One head shop owner here explains he doesnt carry the solo, because he was warned of a high return rate by an online Vape distributor.
To learn about this find a vape dealer or two that dont carry the solo... and ask them if they once did, and why they stopped.

hey i posted this a long time ago in the thread about whip tubing sizes, but i never got a response. can someone please tell me what size tubing this thing uses? thanks in advance
also, i wont pretend that i just read 55 pages of NO2 discussion, but i noticed on the first page someone talked about the advantage of being able to put an iolite in a cup, compared to the not-so-stealthy size of this as a portable vape. i just want to mention that where i work, i regularly make a beautiful disguise cup for my NO2 that works really well - surprisingly well actually since the results dont seem to vary whether i include air vents in the cup or not. and for what its worth, i have 6 friends with iolites (most of them bought them at the same time, its not because everybody likes them so much) and i have used them all more than once. i wouldnt call any of those occasions an enjoyable experience, and id say the quality of the vapor in the NO2 is approximately infinity percent better, and its never burned my lips.
please dont forget my tubing question thats the reason for this post

NO2 tubing is sold at many places, and they do not tell the size... because there is only one NO2.
The inner bore is 1/4".
Be sure if you do not use official tubing that your tubing is food/beverage safe.
There are many 1/4" tubes that are dangerous if used to vaporize.
One acceptable tube to use with the NO2 is US Plastics Tube..compatible with NO2.
*note-
Earlier there was a member that had deposits in his NO2 chamber.
After a week of abusive testing with a unit one of 3 testers was able to get a deposit (more like a discoloration) in the chamber.
He did so by heating his unit with herb already in his chamber repeatedly. He also shut the unit with a load incomplete and then restarted it numerous times without removing the weed.

I'm considering purchasing one of these soon from Randy @puffitup but I want to know what I need to do before I start vaping to make sure I don't get that smell everyone is talking about.
Also, do you guys think this would be a wise purchase, as I already have a MFLB with the PA. And I also have a pretty high tolerance and it would normally take about a full trench from my box (about 6 hits) to get me to the level I want to be at. Would this be an improvement or something better? Or would it just be another launch box shaped as a water bottle?
Is there a better place with better deals than from Randy? I'm pretty much banked on Combo 2, since Combo 1 offers a space case grinder and I already own one, and I dont need it in that much of a hurry to get Combo 3.
Sorry for bombarding you guys with questions, but I want to make an informed purchase.
And since I see you all over fc with useful input...

lazy912-
Soak tube in hot (not boiling) water for 5 minutes before using (then rinse)
Let unit charge fully before using.
while it is charging the 1st time.. leave the top off- this will give it time to air out.
Dont use the unit until after unit has been charged.
NEVER
Never turn on heat with unit open.(top off)
Never try to heat unit to max to "burn off" odors.. Odors are not "baked off".. but rather "baked on"!!
Do not heat unit with herb already in chamber.
Do not reheat a load. If unit is off.. empty load to reheat the NO2
After this you will not have to worry about odors.
Use included brush after each load to clear dust from chamber... and the top screen, and as with any vaporizer, keep the oils clean where the tube meets the unit so oils dont gather, run down, and slow down the works.
Trouble?.... Let me know!

Having spoken with Vapir Engineers and techs myself, I can tell, you there is a definite danger.
You risk wearing out your unit in less time than it's life expectency.
When you turn on your unit with the top off.. the sensors will work continually without break... because with the top off, the unit and the sensor are cooling as the heater is fighting to stay at temp.
It is like turning on an electric floor heater in a room, and setting the thermostat to 80....
.... and then leaving all outside doors and windows open- Eventually you will kill the heater!
Common sense!
Everyone please read your manual.
Anyone here doubt me, just call Vapir at 1- 800-841-1022 and ask them!

i agree that you sbouldn't open the top and use the No2 to heat your room but your original statement makes it sound like having it on at all with the top open will somehow compromise your unit and that just isn't true, the sensor recieves no more fresh air than when it's closed and the wear from the heat loss and resulting bounceback isn't nearly as much as the cooling/reheating that taking even one hit causes. Obviously you shouldnt run your unit for 10 minutes with the top off (why would you anyway?) But id be pretty confident that even if you did, it wouldnt do much to your unit.....just sayinVitolo said:
