Not a bit of it. Your attitude is off I think? It should be something like '.....I've been enjoying my new Solo more than I expected....'? After all it is just what you bought if for, right? To enjoy it so much you lose track of details? Congrats! Good detective work. Vape on....... OF

How each guy confronts the dangers of modern life is his call, of course. Just so it's an informed decision......... I'm sure we all know a laptop or cell phone that now has abysmal battery life after being left on the charger 24/7 so it would be 'ready to go'? Now you know why that happened...

Great. My money's still on the charger. "Problems that go away by themselves come back by themselves" you know. And usually at the least convenient time? IMO the Solo didn't fix itself (and was never really at fault), the charger is marginal and will cause problems if you give it enough...

Interesting, but I think not important WRT the fellow with 'uneven ABV'? It is conduction, and hitting it drops the core temperature making some parts hotter than others. Placement inside or outside the glass is not critical to the experiment I think. It confirms it's conduction doing the...

Yep. We all experience it if we push hard enough. It's a conduction vape and you're not giving it enough 'heat soak' to get the entire load working. By pulling lots of cold air into and through the load you rapidly cool off the center and upper parts of the load artificially (locally) so they...

Don't hold your breath. As I said earlier in this thread, charging a 8 Volt pack from a 5 Volt USB jack is not trivial, like it is with Air that only needs 4. Then there's the power limit on USB jacks, Solo II charges at about 15 Watts. USB ports are good for five typically, half that for...

That's my understanding as well. I also believe it's Mojo's fault? That is he suggested this excellent (and like so many obvious.....looking backwards.....) improvement on the little fellow. Is this a great Forum or what? OF

My money's on the charger being the problem. "Light shows" are classic symptoms of low/out of range voltage. Since Solo runs on the battery, the charger only adds charge to what's there, I suspect it's not a Solo issue. As I said, I'm betting charger. As a suggestion, how about getting a car...

As you suggest, there's a huge factor in there.....the owner and how he vapes? I ran into this several years back with the original Solo. I discovered things like the scale is rigged, the first step of 7 on the 'battery meter' was twice as large (capacity wise) as the rest of the steps. There...

No, NCR18650B is the CELL used in Air II. I was serious, "battery" is incorrect (although very common). Stick with genuine NCR18650Bs (from Panasonic) and you should be fine. Even if you and everyone else you know incorrectly thinks it's 'a battery'...

To quibble a bit with technical terms, single 18650s, working alone, are cells. That same as we define cells in Biology or other areas. Batteries, are one or more cells working together, like 'Batteries' of cannons in the Army (one is a field piece, two or more an artillery battery. So, from...

Thank you very much. That's exactly why I do it, of course, hoping to help our fellow Members along (as do so many around here). Only fair to pass it on you know, so many others helped me get here. Thanks again for the kind words, it's gratifying to know my efforts to spell stuff right and...

Hard to get too high an expectation going for a product advertised as "LOW QUALITY'......more so 'cuz it's all caps. From what I can see, the plastic topped ones from the same guy look suspiciously like the counterfeit stems that came with my counterfeit Air. Makes sense, since the real ones...

I suspect so, in fact I think I saw the drawing posted? Whatever they are, they're sure to be metric making Digikey a poor choice of supplier I think? For sure 5/16 is all wrong. In SAE designations it's probably a 00 size thread forming screw of some sort, perhaps 'sheet metal' based on the...

Solo or Air? We are on an Air Forum and it does make a difference. Air basically is USB since it's a single 18650 and charges to 4.2 Volts max the 5 Volts from the USB is enough 'barefoot'. To make that work with Solo, where there are two such cells in series for a total of 8.4 Volts, we're...

I fear you're right. No 'last minute reprieves here'? That is nobody has seen this before and can contribute more than guesses? Aside from some lucky break where it 'fixes itself' (and therefore can og out again when least convenient....) 'this one has to go to the shop' I fear. If we're...

First off, howdy, welcome to the Forum and all the fun. Lots of good folks around, settle in and do some reading? And congrats on the Solo buy, top choice. To your question, no I would not worry about such debris (it should cause no problems)......enjoy the Solo instead? Regards, OF

Actually we've got a mod available for that now I think. They shape the end of one finger, usually a pinky, to fit the bowl. Very easy, done under a local, covered by Obamacare. Of course you need to be careful the stem has cooled enough before you use it, but it's really quite handy. So to...

So I'm told. Then again, I'm told the Poles also have a folk expression to cover this, from a slightly different angle, "Fools seldom differ". I like the other one better....... OF

Easy to hate people like that, isn't it? BTW aside from enjoying your national beverage, have always loved the idea of the Romans pressing North until they ran into near naked Scots attacking in the snow? Rightly decided that must be the edge of civilization.....so, in finest Roman manner...
