    Such has not been reported here, in fact quite the opposite........ Search on 'hot harsh' and you'll find 7 'hits'. Two yours, the one asking above and one claiming 'other people say Solo is harsh' (which I believe most owners would not agree with). Of the remaining five, two use one of those...

    Show your Li-ions you love them

    I have long been a champion of 'don't fully charge your battery if you want it to last', seems Elon Musk finally listened to me: The man sells a LOT of 18650s in every Tesla.....and a LOT of Teslas. He knows his business (making electric cars that use the same 'battery' type we do in our...

    I agree, there are much better words to have used. The base word here is 'genuine' as in honest. "Disingenuous" is the exact opposite......not genuine or honest? An insult. Apology accepted. Please check back. I was responding to the idea of 'why isn't HL here trying to save their...

    Disagree if you want, but please don't characterize me or my opinions as "disingenuous" I am neither being insincere nor pretending anything, what the term means (look it up?). I'm being quite honest in my observations and opinions. TIA Please note I've said at least one company sent two...

    This is scary, IMO, really scary. No matter how they figured out who you were (perhaps unique failure timing?) and linked that to your 'real name' to publish it is a foul deed for sure. Even if ownership and use was completely legal where you are (never a given) it could put 'you' in a bad...

    I just had an additional thought on this, but it's been to long to edit the above post. Consider what would happen on lesser threads if HL sent a rep here (most like it'd be a Principal to boot). Every gripe there would be bait for 'hey, they've got one of the owners on FC, why don't you go...

    Unfortunately I understand why they don't. We can be a pretty rude lot sometimes. We, collectively have driven off several such representatives in other threads where the units were doing much much better. Seriously, in once case at least 3 times. A new rep would 'step into the breech' and...

    Yes, since 'candle flame' type lighters burn at lower temperatures, cooling the flame by contacting cooler surfaces stops the second (less energetic) reaction, the one combining carbon left over after all the hydrogen has 'been burned'. Less CO2 is produced and "lampblack" (the technical name...

    Arizer Solo II

    Sounds like you're defining top/bottom load up (not as used in Solo)? If so, some guys have tried flat screens but few if any kept doing it? The top of the load (as used), next to the glass plate with the four holes, is naturally going to be cooler than the bottom (against the cup). It's a...

    Yocan UNI - Universal Portable Box Mod

    Yup, seen it from time to time. Open circuit (no connection) almost certainly the center pin on the cart. Remove the base and carefully back the center pin out a tiny bit. It's 'floating' (free to move) in the rubber bushing and is hopefully making contact. Or, alternatively, press the...

    In the first pass, there's nothing really unhealthy with 'candle flame' lighters WRT the gas they burn. Carbon (soot) only forms when the temperature drops or you run out of Oxygen locally, same as a candle will soot up glass if it touches? Not the best thing to breathe in, but here it...

    Sorry, since I don't haunt here, I don't know the OP. I understand 'consider the source' is often an important point. However, I think in general ideas should be considered on their own merit? Such a thought is no doubt not unique to the OP. It's not the OP, but the idea I was responding to. OF

    Excellent point, from what I know I agree. In past jobs I've been in exactly this position, we verified the problem and replaced with new typically. Any units repaired out of warranty were done for a flat fee (we didn't want folks taking covers off and tinkering.....) and were sent through...

    Agreed. A couple of 'I was the worst squeaky wheel I could be and they......' posts could seriously backfire, they'd have to keep it secret (if possible). First guy that says 'I emailed them every week for months and finally got......' will be seen as a clue to guys still waiting. But forget...

    Thinking a bit more on this idea (holding those who 'bad mouth' HL's units in RMA for revenge) it suddenly made no sense at all. HL is not stupid. Perhaps incompetent as a company, but not stupid. They obviously can make some excellent units (from time to time?), and surely can test and...

    For sure experiment with it, easy to do and you never know I might be right? Think about it, the condensed water has to come from somewhere.......clean glass has none, normal herb lots (IIRC something like 30% by weight? 60% RH (don't confuse with actual water present) is designed around...

    Almost certainly is condensed water. very normal although you often don't see in since many vapes aren't clear in this area. Very common. For best results your herb should be 'well cured' (dry) going in. You have to waste heat that would otherwise make vapor drying it out before you can get...
