I've got vapors! :)))
Right now I have some freshly cured OG Kush on 2. No coughing and I taste flavor yet have visible vapor clouds. :) I wish a tad less air resistance, but i'll get used to that easily. I did pack my bowl tight. Is any need stir the bowl?

Do guys use the entire bowl up in 12 minutes or several? So far, no to past two. LOVE that this is silent! :))

Timing is really going to depend on how many puff you take; its not uncommon for me to need another 12mins. And the air resistance will change as it breaks in and you get more used to it. My advice, dont fight the resistance just go easy its alot more enjoyable that way.

I think the reason it takes much so much product time for to feel effects is that I out and remember to take a hit only every once in a while.

My 12 minutes ran out while I was still on 2. Lol After 3 12 minutes, I decided to recharge. It down to 3. :( Will finish my bowl later. Lol

I think you might be pushing the stem in too hard. Try to insert it lightly, then try drawing on it again.

Are you using a domed screen?

I bought a course screen cut just for the solo stem. It isn't domed much, almost flat.

It did to pull the stem out a bit. It wiggles a bit but stays.

Huge flavor change between 2 and 3! Certainly messing me up. .. :) Bummer hip still hurts... gotta keep puffin!

Thanks!

The stem fits easily into my bong bowl to try that too. .:))

How do you know when your bowl is done? The bottom is dark brown, the has a bit of green left. I'm in & and still vapors. ..

Solod out.
Using my hash oil with the solo now. I sandwiched it between herbs used the bent stem and used the unit upside down to make sure no oil drips. I love it. Im using qwiso oil. I need to look into making some more.

Doesn't hitting the Solo bent stem upside down make you feel like a hamster? :lol:

I have to give credit to Stickstones for that one. So true.

:peace:

What's secret taking used if either spilling everywhere? No matter how carefully I remove the stem down, stuff flies everywhere. :(

U can use hash no problem. I put a screen in the heating element. It helps keeping it clean and with airflow. Ive vaped pollem and black. The pollem goes daker and the balck lighter when vaped. Seems strange. I vape both on 5 for about 7 hits then go up to 7 to finish of. I also put 2 screens in the stem, 1 domed up and the second domed down this reduces bowl size to about .25 g of solids. Much better

so i finally learned how to my solo. went to charge it and it seems funny. the charge light doesn't come on, the blue button blinks and leds 1-3 blink.

Is the unit broken?

No, almost certainly not. Low charger output voltage, a known problem. Check it, even unloaded guys were reporting too low a voltage (under 6.9 or between 9.0 and 10.1 did it to the last one I tested).

Sometimes the 'light show' comes with beeps as well......rather festive, really, but not a good substitute for charging.

1st thing i checked to be sure the wire wasn't broke. it measured 10.6v or so, sb 12v. so the charger is bad? is that warranted

thanks @OF

yes, my beeps too, unless i turn it off.

so is there another charger i can get or must i go back to planet vape?

I think it is, although I don't recall anyone doing anything but upgrading to PA kit or buying the Radio Shack replacement.

In the units I tested 10.6 should barely stay charging, my guess is that it's sagging some under load? IIRC once in 'light show mode' getting back in range doesn't correct it (you need a cold start) so it would tilt out as soon as it tried to start charging?

You've got a bench supply that'll do an Amp at 12 Volts? Maybe just cut the cord off the bad charger? If you can support 2.5 Amps somewhere between 7 and 9 you can run PA mode this way as well?

You're welcome, of course, thanks for saying so.

Charger is covered under warranty. Same thing you describe on your Solo happened to mine and it was the charger. eBay authorized seller replaced it under warranty but it took me several emails to convince him that it was the charger and not the unit. He wanted me to send both in and I had a car charger and knew the unit was good and was loathe to part with it. Spent a week going back and forth to the car to charge up, but a week without the solo...

Yep. Again, if the 10.6 Volts is solid enough it should pass. For sure it's not 12.0, and at best marginal.

I share your confidence in PV, they'll take care of you I'm sure.

Good luck with it, not that I think you'll need it.....
