PALE BLUE DOT
I use a SOLO the most!After deciding to purchase another vape other than my beloved Solo for 420, I decided upon the Mighty. While I was doing my research the only reservation I had in getting a Mighty was the hassle of keeping it clean. I know its not a big deal to clean it but hey I'm lazy. That's one of the best things about the Solo is its ultra low maintenance.
So I came up with the plan to go with the 14mm wpa and use the J-hook I was already using and just drop the glass in iso like I currently do and I'd be good to go. But after reading/hearing that some folks having cracked their Mighty's I had my doubts about screwing the wpa on and off multiple times a day without damaging it.
Being a retired machinist I knew could come up with something in order to make it fit better, so I ordered 2 (in case I screwed 1 up). Sure enough, when tried to screw it on the first time without modifying it I was afraid I was going to crack it, so I stopped. I went into my toolbox and grabbed a file and got to it. I tried the long flat first but couldn't keep it square and was putting a taper on it which would cause it to not engage properly. Then I flipped the file on its side and Wallah! I was able to rest the long side of the file against the cylinder; keeping the file square with the part.
I can't tell you the stock size of those flanges but I took them down to .075" and that seemed to be a good thickness. It now has enough pressure to seat the wpa without cracking my Mighty.
I gotta tell ya I don't know why I waited this long to get a Mighty. It is now my daily driver.
While the Solo still has a slight edge in taste for the first two draws (imho), the overall session taste gives the win to the Mighty.
"Long live the fighter!"
The glass stem provides flavor I appreciate?
The MIGHTY is on my radar?
My SOLO is very old, however it is still functional for some reason?
