    Arizer Air II

    I could say the same thing......."why did you say this (about batteries and stuff) after quoting me on an entirely different topic (color of ABV in Stick's testing)?". I'm going to go on the assumption you blew the quote part and still want to know about the cell (not really a battery if...

    Fun stuff for sure. You can see where 'you' (your pump....) overran the vape some, which I think we as users often do? My SOP of guess is you're 'not unrealistic' right now? How does the ABV look compared to the same number of hits normally done? Thanks for the additional 'food for thought'...

    Arizer Solo

    A useful link it seems, did you read it? "Arizer has said that these are manufacturing batch numbers and do not reflect models; however, some changes were introduced beginning with certain batches." There's a natural tendency to try to 'read' something else, but the maker his own self has told...

    Arizer Solo II

    I know I'm not CK, and you didn't ask me, but I'm gonna answer anyway....... While Solo is fairly stealthy, and Air more so, it's still kind of big and 'showy' in use. When discretion is the call I still go back to the Summit. It's small enough to 'palm' if you're handy and buzzes (like a...

    Not to worry. Your friends here will be glad to take a session for you, you've got work to do...... Peer pressure is one thing, but we got is TEAMWORK going on here! OF

    Arizer Solo

    You're very welcome, glad to help when I can as are many others. Even @ataxian can be helpful......if you don't let him near your glass (he breaks such things you see.....). One other tip is 'keep you herb well cured (dry)' going in. This too is 'against blazing logic' but you need to dry it...

    First off, Howdy! Welcome to the Forum and all the fun. I think you're exactly right, lots of good, helpful folks around. With any luck at all, soon you'll be passing out sage experience to the new new guys? Great choice for a 'first vape' with Solo......then again, thanks to your homework...

    Arizer Air II

    This is a fun graph I think, and it shows us a lot of details of the heat flow. First, please notice the general shape of the Green curve. It rises quite fast at first then slows to finally 'crawl' up to about 390F? That sort of curve, were it rises (or falls) rapidly at first and slows as it...

    Sadly no. And what there is is far from "simple". Such heat transfer is a surface game, not only in the finish but also how turbulent the flow is (mixing is good.....). All is not lost, however. You have a closed loop system, you should be able to monitor the current over time as you vary...

    Arizer Air II

    No, sorry for not being more clear. All probes of the same type (in our case "K") have the same two metals (or alloys) used (although purity can be a problems sometimes) and therefore normally give the same results. However, in cases like we have, heatsinking can be tested by using different...

    Arizer Air II

    Basically what I saw and would expect/predict. I suggest the 'fifty or so degrees of offset' is an artifact of heat sinking up the leads (locally the herb is colder because of it, it 'catches up with the average' once heat starts moving about in the load with the hit). It comes up in...

    Arizer Solo II

    I think the main advantage of stepping up is flavor? Doing so favors the lighter fractions (those with lower Boiling Points basically, although it's not really that simple) which means more terpenes and THC, less CBD and other 'couch lock' components percentage wise earlier on. Otherwise, I...

    Arizer Solo II

    Excellent overview, IMO. Take a bow. One small quibble, you should be using real degrees there, 390F. Messing in Metric might get you smaller clouds. Consider miles and kM? Which is bigger? Or how much bigger a gallon is than a liter? Enough said. One (somewhat) serious addition on...

    Arizer Solo II

    You're welcome. I don't think either of those will cut it long enough for even a single (complete) recharge. They play with numbers, of course just to make it more fun. Like quoting a built in battery of XX capacity without telling you that's at 3.6 Volts average. Which has to be multiplied...

    Arizer Solo II

    Sorry, I don't read French (or whatever it is....) and can't find the specification, but based on physical size alone I'd say 'no chance'. You need over one Amp, a fraction of what that small a unit is likely to be capable of. And that much draw (to make an Amp at 12 Volts) will mean the power...

    Arizer Solo

    Sure, year round. Then again is snows here every decade or so.....even if only for a few minutes. I suspect you're concerned about colder? Not to worry. While capacity suffers (up to say 40% in extreme cases?) they do perform. And at 40 below (C or F, it's the same at that one temperature)...

    Arizer Air II

    Not wasted, just hiding...... Check it out. Fun stuff, not what you'd expect? What I think most guys don't realize is making vapor is Work (as it's traditionally defined in Science). Changing to vapor takes energy (the definition of Work). You don't just have to heat it to 390F but you...

    Arizer Air II

    Yep, Conduction will do that all right. Now for the run part? The THC is still there! Where could it have gone? I wasn't destroyed by heat that low, it simply condensed somewhere handy. Either elsewhere in a momentarily cooler part of the herb or up the stem when it cooled off enough. Hit...

    Arizer Air II

    This one is kind of a tough nut without resorting heavily on formal Thermodynamics I think. But I think you just came up with two other observations/arguments in favor of Conduction? Taking the unit outdoors (lower temperature, more loss due to wind) doesn't effect the heater temperature...

    Arizer Air II

    I think I've already said I ran into the same issue trying to read this way. But I knew it was a bogus reading from past experience and the theory of what's going on (and formal education in Thermodynamics long ago of course). If I had a suggestion on how to accurately read the load...
