    Yes, same thing we used to do with our FireFly (although we hardly use it anymore after getting a solo.) In fact, with the solo, I still puff after shutting it off with some have used flower inside, to cool it down so it doesn't continue to cook. However, the appeal of the Elevape (at least...

    Arizer Solo

    What kind of problems? I haven't noticed any. I definitely recommend it over the firefly. EDIT: Yes, my model is M1T.

    Arizer Solo

    We just vaped some fresh mint from our garden. A couple of leaves went a long way. At level 2, you get the menthol flavor, while 3 gives a deeper taste, with a bit of spice, almost like cinnamon. It's like inhaling candy! You don't need to dry it. Just cut up some fresh leaves with...

    Arizer Solo

    I just wanted to report that, aside from the longer charge and heat up times, the solo has my firefly beat. And at nearly half the price. The vapor is smooth and cool (at setting 2, anyway), there are copious clouds, and it is basically idiot-proof as far as I can tell. And it is easier to...

    I got mine from them, too. It also arrived 1 day early, and with all it's parts in good condition.

    Yes, Monday morning. Strange, I ordered mine after you and received a tracking number before you. And they assured me on the phone that the Elevape definitely wasn't backordered, either.

    When did you order yours? I ordered one last Thursday night, and they informed me on Monday that they had units in stock and already had mine packed, labeled and ready to ship that Monday afternoon.

    Yes, if there is any vapor left in the chamber, it will condense once it cools down. And, anyway, the sensor should be much cooler than the heating coil and etc. If they made a little sensor window with its own heating coil, made from quartz or sapphire for heat resistance, and had a "post...

    Arizer Solo

    Ok. Anyway, the nice thing about the solo is the stem is replaceable. I bet some clever person will figure out how to make a stem that can be pre-loaded with weed, and just inserted when needed. Maybe in two pieces that fit together. I'd buy two, at least.

    Arizer Solo

    Ok, I will look into getting a screen that will fit the bottom of the stem. FYI, the draw resistance is fine. Not so different from my firefly. Since the new solos can be used while charging, maybe someone should make a docking station with a pass-through for the power?

    Arizer Solo

    Yes, my model definitely needs a burn off to eliminate the smell. After it had charged, I tried heating it up without anything in the glass tube, just to try to get the tube inside (it being too tight when cold.). Still plugged in, FYI. Then, I tried puffing a bit. Smelled awful! Like...

    Arizer Solo

    I was able to use while plugged. There was a bad smell, so I let it run at maximum for a bit. Seems better now, but I decided to use my firefly tonight and try again tomorrow.

    Arizer Solo

    I just got a Solo. The instructions say that it cannot be used while charging. Does that mean I did not get the latest model?

    I have a suggestion for this product. Rather than just measuring the absolute brightness, they can measure a ratio of brightness between sensors sensitive to two different frequencies. As the coil heats up, the black body radiation distribution will shift towards higher frequencies. This will...

    Actually, the FDA is planning to regulate the vaporizer industry. I hope they won't, because then it will be impossible to buy one. Hmm, maybe some companies are putting beta quality units on the market because they want to cash in before the FDA brings the hammer down and it's too late...

    Yes, I've run beta test software. However, they usually don't charge $300 for it and, if they did charge, they'd update it for free. Besides, the place where I bought it didn't mention that it was only a beta test and not a real production unit. This is a medical device. If it malfunctions...

    I guess a sensor that easily gets dirty would be this thing's Achilles heel. It uses light to sense the glow, and impute the temperature. Anything that obscures that is going to make it overshoot the set temperature. An obvious point of failure. Like a sticky accelerator pedal. I'm surprised...

    Yeah, I agree. Unfortunately, I already ordered one based on the initial 100% positive reviews. I'm like "wow, how cool. This will solve all my problems! " And now I feel like a real chump, wishing I could cancel but probably it's too late. So, if I can't cancel or return it easily, I...

    Unfortunately, I think you may be right. I don't mind supporting new companies and ideas. I had an Apple II with Integer Basic, and a Skinny Mac. In hindsight, these were brilliant but unpolished and nearly unusable by today's standards. And extremely expensive. But also revolutionary for...

    I hope so, but it's impossible to try it out without actually buying one. I guess I'm wanting something that is more of a polished product. Not an engineering sample or prototype. It sounds really great that you can adjust the temperature, puff at will without worrying about technique, etc...
