    The Arizer Air

    Just got back from loitering on Union Square. I like how in San Francisco you can vape and either people don't look or care, or else they give you a little smile and a knowing look. I always give a knowing look back, whether they think it's nicotine and beats "analogs", or they know it's cann or...

    The Arizer Air

    I'm VASing for the short AA stems to use on my Solo, seeing as I can't quite justify getting an AA Any alternatives to the Arizer ones? Isn't it agreed that the Solo/Air itself has effectively no smell, as long as the oven is kept clean? If I keep the stems sealed up, not a problem. Not a...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Made in 'Merca! So that's our future? making specialty retro stuff, like manual transmissions for the Prius? And 3D printing unmentionables? But they do make cute stuff.

    So it basically ends up with a great carb, a nice marriage of lil' guys.

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Something about serial numbers? There's something refreshingly retro about buying a MFLB from a human being in a headshop. And even haggling a bit (my wife is the grind queen, I have to keep her in the car or she'll totally grind the guy's profit margin to negative. By the time she's done...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    The question of course is WHAT KIND of batteries. NiMH and NiCad and LiPo and LiMn and so on. Most batteries aren't designed for heavy drain. If you pull a lot of current from them, they tend to heat up. Batteries have, in the last decade or so, become incredibly energy-dense. All that energy...

    à part ça, vous vaporisez quoi?

    Bravo, c'est du courage qu'il nous faut!

    Arizer Solo

    @Rapspalooza I think these are too small, someone who knows what official size they bought can help you; all I remember is that the ID on mine when un-compressed is around 15.6 mm.

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Just had occasion to pull old king Tut's walnut flight box out. I can't help loving it as the most efficient, the most manual transmission type device. It's the MiniCooper (or the Volskwagen bug) of vaping. Crumbled some water hash right on the screen and it did the job. In the spirit of old...

    Arizer Solo

    I've managed with an oversize o-ring that I mount a little off-center, then put an attractive green rubber band around the lid threading and screw down the lid to reasonable resistance. The rubber band is enough to prevent problems if someone ever overtightened the lid (I don't). It's stable and...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    @Gee_Grover, I still think the Solo and the Air look too "tactical". Every paranoid from SF to Poughkeepsie will look to check it out. That's exactly what we don't need. The Firefly just looks like an iThing. Nobody notices it. It's downright strange (and great). But I get pretty good vapor on a...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    I just want to say, wow I looooove this vape. Sorry about the battery issues some people are having, don't let them jack you around, appeal to their common sense and commercial instincts. Tel 'em they tout a five year warranty, that's nice, so you need working gear pronto, or you will tell...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    The bigger pads like the volcano one can be cut and a piece packed back down into the right size and shape for the FF bowl. It's amazing opening one up, they unfold, they're like a chain-of-mail tube sock that's been packed down into a puck. They're one woven continuous piece of stainless steel...

    The Arizer Air

    Yes, I've been through the tale of the discharge curves ;-) But FWIW my only batteries that are still working are those red AW 1600s and 2000s. We'll see what emerges on the Air. Engineers are engineers, but lawyers trump engineers. Once you start talking esplosion, and a company is shipping...

    The Arizer Air

    I've been through so many 18650 adventures with nicotine vapes, using very high amperage "mods". The maniacs who rig up handmade kanthal 0.2 ohm coils in their Dripping Atomizers, run them with an 18650 in a direct contact "mechanical mod", that's 80 watts, and can fog a room in seconds. They...

    The Arizer Air

    @OF, you sure can be confrontational. Of COURSE, I can't be sure it's not made specifically for the Air, though with all the batteries to choose from, wouldn't it be very unlikely to actually launch a special production run in China for this? But, of course, neither of us can be sure. Is that...

    The Arizer Air

    @Sinclue, LOVE your sig graphic. Oh, so true. As to the blinking red, if it means 10 seconds to detonation, you won't be reading this ... So, anyone, does that cutie short tube with the delrin(?) tip (to chew on) fit both Solo and Air? I've almost broken teeth on delrin. Can't resist chewing...

    I'm not sure now if got these here, or these are "like the ones" http://essentialextracts.co/product/essential-screens/ The use I've had for them is mainly to keep the load in place with vertical on glass vaping, but they can be useful for temp layering, as in either hotter under the basket or...

    The Arizer Air

    I imagine this has been answered before, but Arizer doesn't. Can someone please just tell me which accessories fit the Solo as well as the Air? Does the short tube work in both, and how well? How about the various whips etc that they offer? My Solo's oven has an ID around 0.58 " or 14.7 mm. I'm...

    The Arizer Air

    @exit, that's relevant for the social types, so HOW is it easier to use, what's the difference, really? It seems the higher temp fetches the more sedating compounds, right? That's especially Indica territory too. But what I've found is that the Diesel strains that work best on my sciatica...
