Shouldn't be a problem I'd think. The lower sections have 'burls', very dense sections that will sprout and grow if they're fresh and you keep them wet. You can grow an entire tree from a small part of a burl. Big pieces are used for tables and stuff...

Agreed. I recall many years ago reading about an atomic bomb shipping container project by one of the local 'Defense Labs' (Sandia IIRC). It seems over time several 'devices' have been in plane crashes 'in service', one never recovered? Obviously that's not cool. The idea came up that they...

Metals (good conductors of heat) are not a good way to go for the body, it's hard enough to hang onto now. But ceramic has some advantages? A four piece mold (plaster of Paris?) could make them, much like coffee cups are made in small batches. No need for Mica. Perhaps even modify the design...

I has to, no magic allowed here. Introducing lots of cold air not only robs much needed heat that would otherwise make vapor (it has to get to 400F or so or no vapor....) but even after it's heated all it can contribute is DILUTING the vapor that is produced with extra air. This was surely...

So I just got back from another pleasant (and ultimately successful.....very successful...) test. The excuse was testing out a new o-ring. The cap is too loose for my liking, when trying to rig a WT connection the MP comes off the QQ. So I'm trying 'the next thicker cord' size in SAE sizes...

I believe you're confused with ArGo, it shows percentage as it charges. OF

Thanks. OK, let's see if I follow? You can charge 'normally' (but I bet very fast?) but when you go to use it it falls apart in not too many seconds? But you can start it and leave it at idle (no heating) for much longer? I smell one cell in the battery has given up the good fight. Or the...

Congratulations, glad you like ArGo, there's sure a lot to like? "Never buy a Hopper again" speaks volumes to me. You tried multiple times? That's dedication. And still, when working correctly, it's a power hog requiring battery swaps? That makes perfect sense to me, minutes of heat, not...

Not yet, anyway. OF

What do you mean? It won't heat past there? You can't charge higher? The up button stops working? Never heard of this.......might have expected you to come up with something unique..... OF

I think the OP was saying Solo II doesn't come with a bent stem. My bent stems from Solo seem to work fine for me. Ten bucks will fix this problem. Arizer probably shaved a few dollars off the cost/price of the Solo II this way, something I think we all appreciate? Solo's ability to satisfy...

Nobody has reported it, at least as I remember. Normally it takes a LOT of heat to do that, the 18650 itself it pretty tough and will take temperatures (60C is considered 'normal' for discharge) https://www.batteryspace.com/prod-specs/NCR18650B.pdf Since this is from a shop, how are you sure...

That cinches it, no matter what the wife says, you're normal. At least as normal as the rest of us........ I predict the days until the Solo IIs return will pass quickly and happily. However, that Solo might not seem so special by that point? Regards to all. OF

Good call. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I think it's fair to say that experience with Solo I has caused many of us to jump on Solo II for relatively modest improvements. And few, if any, have abandoned their Solo Is? You should always have a reliable backup vape lest Murphy blind...

An excellent suggestion. However some caution is needed as there is a maximum power the heater will take, and such things typically vary over time/temperature as they are related to stresses caused by expansion with heat. Ironically, a slow heat up to full blast is often called for, just the...

Careful here to include all the details? That is not take something out of context....... You're missing, I think, that I follow Matt's advice: "Once heat is achieved with quartz cup let-off button to keep from burning or giving off foul high temp flavor. "...

Image didn't make it, there's a post on how to do it elsewhere, but you need to put the image on Imageshack or some other hosting service then put the link for it in your post...... There is no metal in the seal. The metal part at the top is part of the body and separate from the heater...

Nothing to fear, but something to keep in mind? When I comes to toasting your fingers I think ArGo can't hold a candle to the original DaVinci or Cera. With Cera you could easily start running out of places to hold onto in long sessions. End up gripping the last inch with your fingertips...

First off, howdy, welcome to the Forum. Great choice with Solo, as you already know? No, I would not worry at this point. You'll find as it breaks in the need wait until hit heats gets less and less important. After several dozen loads (maybe even 100?) mine no longer fights me when cold...

Great, yer welcome, glad to help when I can. This time it worked out well and easily....... I don't have a favorite, but the one I use came from Matt (let's give blame were it's due?). Very close to what you have now. I used the factory Ni setting (which seems about 245?) and 310F (not 320)...
