no because arizer never specced what the M105 temps were. The theoretical temps are from there initial release of the Solo. When they adjusted the temps down they never provided the data only said they dialed em down.

Sorry..I am really confused now. I got that list of temps from Kevin...so you are basically saying that is from age-old readings or some theoretical list they made up long ago?
EDIT: nevermind, this is frustrating. All I REALLY wanted to know is what "2" was, in degrees.
Then, I can die happy knowing the temperature that I prefer
Ultimately, I wanted to simulate a "2" on a Supreme v2 or any other device that I can also figure out the temperature.

That's the main reason I got the GonG connection - because of the Vapor Tamer!

I did two barely full bowls yesterday - KO!
AND I have a screen in there, so that reduces the amount that fits.
I realize the key is NOT to pack it. Somehow I actually get WAY MORE CLOUDS, by putting LESS. Weird!
The perfect amount for me seems to be from half a bowl (with screen) to a full bowl, but never packed in!
Sorry to going back on the discussion, but i think the reason that putting less helps is because the air flow goes in between the herbs and allows for a better extraction.
This should be truth for the majority of vaporizers, although there are vaporizers who need it more than others.
I am confused about the temps now too, it appears that most Solos except the M105 in fact exceed the 230ºC that marks the point of combustion.

vitolo...I have a ceramic M104 as well and love it.

It takes a minute or so to heat up, and a half a minute or so for the vaporizable to heat up after that. Some people combine/time the action so that they heat the stem up while it powers up, so you are ready to go in like a minute. It's not a few minutes though, it's seems fairly quick!

I pack a stem, put it in a cold solo, set it to temp 4 and it's ready to hit when the solo is up to temp.

Thanks mate but I heard that the taste would be affected if I live the stem in the heater for few minutes without drawing...
Great to hear...this is what I'll do!!!
You can pack around .1g right?
BTW, I went ahead and bought 5 screen pack for the solo from http://verdampftnochmal.de/products...rizer-extreme-parts/screens-for-the-solo.html

I put a fresh packed stem in to heat w/ the unit as well, but you probably don't want to just leave it sitting in there once it is up to temp without hitting it. I can see that effecting the contents of the bowl, and flavor, if you hit it a few times, power down, but don't pull the stem out (for example) or if you go off and forget about it... etc... Heating the stem w/the unit might effect flavor, but I have not noticed. All it does for me is give me instant vapor as soon as it reaches temp. I usually run it on 3-4

I wait until temp is up.... (4) and then I put stem in upside down.(herb to sky).. and do my 1st pull that way... to "glue' the bud in place for the next hits.
sessnet.... you asked if I liked the GonG stem with my unit. I gave it a place of honor... touch image to see for yourself!

It is a small amber glass jar of pre-ground.
This is my "travel from room to room box"

Really cool, I need a box like that!
Is the amber glass jar neckless? I am searching for neckless ones.
I screwed this up several times already. I charge to prepare for extended use, doesn't matter how much is left on the charge (very bad, i know). So my battery isn't the greatest it seems now, maybe because of this? It seems my battery is only 70% as good as when I first got it, about 4 months ago.

This is what the majority of what I've read says, but I've heard the contrary as well. Mine comes in today, and I intend to keep it on my phone's schedule. Tuck it in to a charger every night before bed. It will be used for 2-3 sessions per day. Does this sound reasonable?

With Li-ion batteries like in laptops or the iphone, you should leave them between 40 to 80%. Dont know which kind of chemistry the arizer batteries have, i think there was a post a long time ago where a guy changed the batteries and you could see exactly which was it.

I usually run the battery until it gets to 4 on the meter, then I put it on the charger. I really like 4 with this thing...

Earlier in the thread the debate landed on keeping it fully charged as much as possible. Not my area of expertise, though.

About the batteries... All rechargeable batteries nowadays have a certain number of loadcycles. I have an older MacBook and the loadcycles are only about 300+. By keeping it most of the time connected to the plug, I have managed after 2 years to be only at 120 loadcycles and thus the capacity is still at 91%. The more you charge/discharge the faster the battery is dying. Modern batteries can have more than 1000 loadcycles but I don't know about the ones in the Solo. General idea is to keep it plugged as more as you can and not letting it empty often. I try only go through a full charge/discharge cycle once a month so the meter can show the correct load (it's like reseting)... Also doing it for all rechargeable devices and have great results. There is a site called battery-university or something and it's all very analytical there.

Went to Vaporpedia, had all the info there. 
Prolonging the battery life
Li-Ion batteries will last longer if you do not discharge them completely. A common recommendation for longest battery life is to re-charge when they are discharged to 80% capacity. The best approach is therefore to re-charge between sessions.
This is the type of battery:
