Thanks for the tip, but "a pain to clean" I've got covered. Well covered....... Regards to all. OF

How am I using mine? Pretty much 'all the time'. Half a dozen or more times a day. I generally exhaust each load in one sitting. Mind the load can be small or large. Average loads (say 15 to the gram) go in five or so hits if I'm using a WT and mean business. This means stirring once or...

I think that's a fair enough thing to say about conduction vapes (sometimes including grind), but this is a convection vape.....different rules? Firm contact is no longer a good thing, rather 'free flow' of the heated air. Unlike typical vapes, very tiny loads can work quite well with only...

No there is not. At least not that I can find. Sales types would not allow it, they want big numbers (what sells) and would like to sell you a replacement as soon as possible. All (four) of the charge controller ICs I could find follow this rule (if they did not, makers would of course buy...

To some extent, you're in control of taste. You have to keep it clean and put good herb in of course, but there's only so much 'light stuff' (where the taste is) in herb. If you hit it hard, lots of hot air, that strips the taste out quickly for sure, sip at it and you can get better taste...

Understood. It's in our genetics I think. Time was 'lids' came complete with seeds as well. We'd save them too even though they with the stems contained a small fraction of the THC from what was by today's standards very weak pot. I used to keep mine in the shoebox lid I'd 'roll' the weed...

"It depends", doesn't it always? It is, or should be, pretty potent. But as you say not easy to get to. Probably the best way is with solvent. Either 'high proof' ISO (91% or better) or Ethanol (harder to get unless 'Everclear' is available where you are. Be careful soaking the plastic...

Yup. In general you can charge them at the same currents as discharge. The chemicals don't care. But, as BU says, heat is the enemy here. Using a cell at high current for a short while builds up little heat. A lower charge rate (but running non stop for hours) can heat more. So the best...

Sure is. Not to mention 60,000 plus 'likes'.......... No, wait, I just mentioned it. That's way more important to me. Any fool can make 20,000 posts given enough time and 'no life', I've proved that. But getting 3:1 likes says I'm helping some? That, of course, is the real goal. Times...

FWIW, that's my understanding as well. F1 was sold far and wide, F2 was a 'slightly new' model from HR. Perhaps F2 was not enough different to merit it's own thread? Confusing for sure, fortunately we know what vape we're talking about.......or at least think we do. Regards to all. OF

You never know, they're not famous for hiring the sharpest knives in the drawer. They tend to physical types with attitude problems? It would be more convincing if it was plugged into your cell phone ATT? Then again, the risk is high, your call. Be sure your Solo is super clean. Remember...

An alternative, and perhaps easier, technique is to use a bit of cotton. Either to wrap the hash or to put in after to keep it in place. Cotton is OK at these temperatures. Important to note this works only with pressed hash, bubble hash (same stuff without pressing) or 'dry' kief. Modern...

You're welcome, glad to inform. That's what Forums are for....... Besides, as I said, I feel kind of guilty for the whole idea when it led to good folks damaging their Solos. It's worth noting that changing the oven to incorporate 3 stiffer seals (mistakenly called o-rings but are actually...

Due caution advised indeed. In fact if you're not mechanically inclined I suggest you pass. Unfortunately I'm responsible for this idea. Years ago, with the OG Solo. I was annoyed that the seals that hold the stem (there are no o-rings per se) were loose enough that the bent stem would...

Not being a cloud chaser, I have no advice here. I hope you understand. FWIW it should, in theory, be the best of the breed since the heat exchanger/ load part is common and the metal mass and stem length should improve on that? OF
