Nice case. I got the same one too and it's wonderful.Drum Roll !!!! My Solo has arrived today !! I received my Solo M1E1 right on time and it's charging now. I got the device and an awesome case... check it out
Is this a nice old book ??
Nope....it's my Solo case !!!

It has an opening for a small grinder (The one I have is too big for the opening) but it has other slots for glass and screens. I got all of this from Vaporseller.com and the price was rightCharging my new best friend up now
I do not think the taste of cannabis is an "acquired taste" in the traditional sense. I think it is much more Pavlovian than acquiring a taste for coffee, beer, wine, foods, etc..
When you first consume cannabis you may not consciously take note of the flavor, but you may associate the pleasant effects of cannabis with the flavor that you do perceive. Over time the flavor is so strongly associated with the pleasant effects that you begin to appreciate, or even crave the taste. Often consumers have associated certain "flavors" with higher quality cannabis, which leads to a more pleasant experience, therefore they seek those flavors in the cannabis they consume.
There are two reasons people rave about the flavor of the Solo: they are converting from combustion to vaporizing, and the flavors of cannabis are much more subtle when vaporizing, and/or they are comparing the taste from the Solo with other vapes.
In most of these threads people will relate their "taste" experience when they fall back to combusting after vaping for a period (most describe the taste as awful). But you will also read comparisons of the Solo flavor with the flavor of other vapes.
In the case of the Solo, people generally attribute the good "taste" to the glass vapor path and the use of convection heating (vs. conduction). These combine to provide a more "true" taste of the cannabis, versus other materials and heating methods which may adversely impact flavor.
Don't leave the ABV (already been vaped) herb in the stem after a session! As soon as I finish a session I immediately tap the stem and get the herb out, other folks on here have mentioned this and it comes out easily while the stem is still warm. If you wait until the stem cools down the ABV will be a pain...you will have to scrape at it (the oils solidify/get sticky?).
I store the ABV in Jyarz (sealed glass container) and shake the used material up real well, then reload stem for another session! You might not like re-vaping this as the taste can get towards burnt popcorn, but if you don't use to high of temps and you inhale really slow...there will still be plenty of goodies left in your used goodies.
Only thing I don't like about re-vaping is the last sessions will give me horrible couch-lock, not much euphoria at all just pure tiredness and feeling like greening out...Instead of baked I feel more like torched
Do you have M1D2 number? Thinking of o-ring but don't want I'll fitting cap after. Please let me know how you make out.
Thanks.

I have the newest model. I am going to try the sanding when I get home. I bought a mix pack of o-rings, we will see.
Hey gbetter,
I have a M1D2 and was able to install one of the high temp o-rings 'as is'. Stem retention and airflow as advertised. However, some forum members have reported 'different' caps (varying from height to thickness to number of threads available I believe?) at least among the 'older' Solo runs. Aside from a less glossy finish - my M1D2 cap looks identical to the one on my M1A3. Good luck.

I've been using wrap-around beer cozies.
Hey No name,
Just about to order orings from PV for my M1D2. Should I get thin or regular. Thanks.

Headband and other sour deisels too, kind of...
Hey gbetter,
Sorry for tardy reply-browser issues. I believe I have 'regular-sized' (113) high temp rated o-rings in both my Solos. It's the same o-ring that PV provides(ed) when you purchase one of their regular or PVHE gongs/stems.

Hello fellow vapers. I recently bought a Solo(M1D2), a PVHES Turbo Shorty GonG 18mm, and a water tool. Before using the PV GonG i found that the only way I could get the Solo to perform perfectly was using the dome screen technique with the original straight stem. Now I am trying to get the TURBO shorty PVHES stem to work with no success. I have tried different dome screens, no dome screens, packing it with extra fine, loosely packing it .. and even on level 7 cant get the shallow bowl to fully vaporize. Just small amounts of almost burnt material that fell out from the top of bowl and the rest still will have color. I am worried that my Solo might have something to do with it. All the stems are very wobbly. Not that loose (I can pick the Solo up by the stem) just wobbly like the bottom of the Solo's heating element might not be flat enough to work with the slotted bowl of the PVHES. Tried o-rings already and still much wobble. Any help is much appreciated. Just trying to figure out if i should return this M1D2 before it is too late and try to get a M1E1.
Agreed

Did you try repositioning the black factory retaining ring like the manufacturer suggests? Go back ten pages or check my posts, I have a safe surefire way to make the adjustment. Hope it helps!!!
The manufacturer maintains that loose stems are not a defect in that some people prefer it that way and if you feel it is a problem , than it can be adjusted to be tight again like most Solos come when they are new. I have not had to use my "O" ring since I discovered this adjustment.

I recently got an 18mm HE turbo shorty gong. It sucks IMO. Too much airflow for the Solos heater.

My friend had an issue with the exact same gong.
He had had to stretch a thin silicone tube around the gong in order to make a air tight seal with bubbler.
Maybe his issue is common?

The Solo's heater is designed to work with a restricted airflow. Increase airflow too much and you overload the heater with cool ambient air, making everything less efficient.
With that in mind, the HE turbo shorty seems to have a perfect storm of fail IMO. The HE slits on the side add additional airflow. The unrestricted air path down the center (no glass screen) increases airflow, and the shallow bowl holds less material which is less of an airflow restriction in and of itself.
All of that, combined with my new model Solo already having increased airflow due to larger air holes in the heater cover, makes for a bad time.
Fail design is full of fail.
Anyway to come full circle, your friend decreased airflow by blocking the side channels with that silicone hose. Im willing to bet thats why it helped. Imma go try that actually. Ill report back later.

JK, hope it fixes your issue too.
The bubbler had a rough surface letting way too much air pass.
