Aint it great! Just needed cranking up a notch? I think that crud you see there is from impurities and finger print oils. Avoid touching is a good idea. I found it cleans off with Q-tip and ISO. I treat it as I would the inner part of an exposed speaker. Very thin stuff. I too hear some clicks...

I purged it first thing. There was a little pressure in it and I suspect not the stuff you want..? Learned a little about lighters with the IO and Genie. Purging is the #1 fix for devices depending on reliable flames.

I'm new to the Lotus but had zero problems getting vapor. In fact too much if not careful. Guessing you need more heat. You may be trying to preserve butane which won't help. Have to hit those magic temps or you get zip.

Have you done the same measurement after a full charge from the home charger to compare? 8.9 volts would dramatically shorten the battery life . Your case is sure becoming interesting. The Solo should regulate the charge and stop charging once 8.4 volts is reached. After that, it should only get...

I got my glass order today. And it all goes together as I hoped. Only thing that I caught me off guard was the base stand has a hole throw the bottom. Will just cork it up. The WT goes on nice too, just had to turn the swivel adapter inwards a bit to maintain good balance. Received just before...

Do you ever get confused as to which hole to suck on?

So I have received requests for a picture of the $20 "EcoKit". May as well give it a name.... I have also added the strait OEM size power elbow to give more options. Also, about the OEM connector. I have sourced out a much better connector which is designed with the contact much closer to...

Got him covered in the AIO thread.:tup:

Hi JM, the base repair kits has really little value in terms of parts. It consists of 4 proper sized washers, instructions and felt punch outs to cover them up. However, OTOH, something Solo owners should install at first sign of cracking or even before if concerned about maintaining in...

I'm still waiting on some glass to play with the WPA but I must say, the original pipe is nice. Very good quality and not relying on the glass. Used the WPA with the Sherlock and its pretty much the same as the pipe with less restriction. I prefer the pipe at this point. Once I get some glass...

A good purge of the fuel can sometimes bring new life back as well.

That tape looks ripped to crap from getting caught on something. You must have some burrs on the surface somewhere. If you can find whats cutting into the tape and sand them off you may have better results. Also, the main unit can be removed for this process as might make easier to work on...

I was wondering when they changed the design of the heating plate? I noticed mine has no indented lines leading to the center. Here a shot of the virgin from fresh out of the box. And bottom. So far I'm lovin this guy.

That was actually the other lighter I was looking for after reading through this thread. The reasons I decided on the Joban was the single flame had a pointier flame in the pictures. The picture of the double flame did not look as fine pointed and turning off the second flame showed it still...

Well put Stu. How'd you know of his planetary probation? Thought that was a military secret. I think OF wants to stay with us humans, thus failing a couple tests is done deliberately. :rofl: Sounds like she's one smart cookie, just wanted him to pull out that "phone" .

Leaving it on has no effect on the stand. The LEDs last a very long time. I wouldn't store the Solo on it when no need to charge it though. Unless it's unplugged of course. Yes, the rainbow or colour changing LED can be fun to look into. All around 360 degree view to boot. Cool, thanks for...

No problem. Assistance is what FCs all about. The battery stays inside the Solo just like at home. The car charger is no more then the ability to hook it up to you're car's 12 volt system. There is no electronics in the wiring whatsoever. Besides a fuse in the plug head of course. The charger...

Yep, this creature is always willing to help where he can. The PA interest is not what it was, however, I can assist in stands, car charger and adapters to feed the needs of our family here. Sometimes it's the simple little things which bring it all together.:tup:

You're welcome and that's exactly what I was thinking. We need to keep em tight. The damage happens very fast.

IMO, these failures are from the heater screen not being under enough pressure from the screw down top. Once the arcing starts, it's time to stop immediately and tighten things up. If arcing goes for too many "seconds" even, the heater will be beyond help. Pak has mentioned a great way to ensure...
