Alright!! that was spot on what I needed to know thanks for sharing. I won't be taking it apart :( my geek inside really wanted to do it... I guess it won't be happening anytime soon. Thanks!

i would not recommend taking the heater out of the plastic (mica), there is no reason to do so (?) and I don't think that it would ever work again seeing how the cement is destroyed in the process. I did that with a solo i acquired with from a friend to take apart and use for parts, after i...

...entails or going with the arizer solo for my main go-to to truly f*ck combustion. the solo is the most efficient portable i've used. ok so no mica contained but ceramic... there's that exposed ring of ceramic outside the stainless steel bowl... with the wobbly stem that could grind that ring...

Great news, so ground mica is used as a filler in both the cement and the plastic, along with glass fiber? Makes sense given the temperature. It would be fully encapsulated, not subject to sluffing off like in Vapman. By all means look for the hole for the leads, and the gap above the cup...

...in the Solo. I emailed Arizer about the airpath, and this is what Kevin said. Hello Damien, Thank you for your email. Materials used are a mica/ceramic insulating material, mica/glass for housing and contact points, pps with a very high concentration of glass fiber, and the stainless steel...

No, mica is a mineral. A rock, you dig it up. It flakes off in layers. You'll find it in some toasters and hair dryers and so on due to it's ability to handle heat well. It's used in 'windows' in home and industrial heater fire boxes in fact since it's translucent. It's used to face the...

I am pretty sure that it has been discussed again and the material that looks like plastic around the heater is Mica... I don't know why you say it's not. What do you mean by real mica? It can vary in composition I guess but it's still a mica material. And since I have opened up the heater more...

...you have cut but if you point them out to me I will try and give it another go if I order something from PV again and get some more. About the Mica... It's the whole plasticky thing around our Solo heaters. The insulation that keeps the rest of the Solo relatively cool and keeps the...

...I typically sent four rings to folks so they would have some to experiment with should they care to. While we're on the subject, where is this "mica insulator and it's tiny gaps (if any)"? Furnace cement and metal I know about, and plastics. Where is the mica? I looked pretty...

I never understood all this o-ring craze... All it does is restricting the airflow even more by blocking the only air path the Solo has and forcing the air to enter through the mica insulator and it's tiny gaps (if any)... I never saw anyone complaining about a loose stem on a log vape... :2c:

i think the mica is somewhere else.

http://fuckcombustion.com/search/3495902/?q=mica&t=post&o=date&c[thread]=3833 It has been discussed before and reading those post will answer your question better than I can.

thanks :-) is it dangerous?

I'm pretty sure I read that it was made of Mica, though if I am wrong I know someone will correct my mistake.

Arizer has stated in the past that this piece of "plastic" is actually high temp mica.

Are you THAT hard up for cash? lol They're $1.49 for 2 at Planet Vape :) I used to have a bunch but not anymore, otherwise I would have mailed them to you for free. You make some good points AceTk, I personally hated them because the contents of my bowl would stick to the insides so I just...

...which works great. If you do find a replacement cap do checks and make sure its safe for hot caps. The solo can get up at 230c so really you want a material that has good safety margin and is safe up to 300c+ like the stuff in the solo itself which if I remember correctly is mica and...

The Solo can be used this way, you would simply have to remove the stem between hits to keep the herb from cooking away. It takes about a minute or so to warm up, and you can turn it off at any time in a session. I can't vouch for the safety of the air path, I have no way of testing this myself...

I wouldn't worry about health issues as the only thing that could happen, but should happen rarely, is some ceramic (and not mica) particles, much safer than most of the things you possibly breath every day... The air path is only at the top of the unit and you don't draw air from the lower part...
