For a longer, less clear rant on this topic please check out the 'conversation' going on on 'the other Solo Forum'. There, this seems to be the case as at least one of the guys realized it was his cleaning technique (reusing the same ISO) was leaving a microscopically thin coating as the ISO...

Great news, the wait is tough but the reward no doubt worth it in the end? What you plan to do with all that extra time now that you won't be charging all the time? Hopefully enjoy a session or two instead? Works for me. Extra cool on the 'facelift' part. Another advantage to rebuilding at...

FWIW my 'take' on PI modifications for our use is it's a bad idea. It makes sense for the e-cig guys with huge heaters and lots of 'juice' in intimate contact with them. Heat can be instantly transferred to the load so you can 'trick' the unit into 'coming on very strong' at the start of a...

It seems to me that the metal used for the heaters is the same as used in V2.5, therefore the same m value works 'just fine by me' (gives expected vapor at 390F setting). That is 245 (.245% per degree C of rise) for the Gen 2 and SMALL V3 (same as for V 2.5s). The larger one seems to get...

I'm with you, no cause for concern 'round here. But PBW has other advantages. It's MUCH cheaper. A pound lasts years of 'constant' usage as you need so little. It's safer many ways. "Green" enough to flush down the drain (unlike ISO, right?) and it won't burn your place down. Easier to use...

The usual cause of this 'clouding' is not being real clean to start with. It happens in other vapes. I think we're looking at an 'oil and water don't mix' issue here. If the glass has a thin coat of condensate left (only takes a couple molecules deep....) this makes the surface 'water...

M value of 245, 24 Watts limit. It takes maybe 15 seconds to solid vapor (you didn't ask that, but you'll eventually get to it.....). No videos I know of, but it's not a big deal. Remove the 3 screws and cover, loosen the two screws holding the heater and remover and replace it...

Thanks, good news indeed. FWIW I just 'put a finer point' on my estimate of increased time to recharge. Based on the charging current from mine and making the assumption that the 1000mA rating on the charger is accurate (not always a given, but with Arizer I think it's a safe bet) I make the...

While I see no problem doing so, I can't find a Solo I charger to try it? FWIW the home made universal charging kluge I made does just fine. In theory all that happens is it charges a bit slower. I'd estimate something like 30% reduction? Please let us know what happens? TIA OF

Took me a couple more, I should have set the goal lower....... I agree, more over, work (for others) sure makes a mess out of the highways? I think Solo and retirement go together. Like you should get one from say Social Security as a reward for retiring and letting some younger guy have...

Simple. I'm still retired. No responsibilities? Let the younger Capitalists have a lash, and good on 'em. Making anything past lunch doesn't interest me all that much come to think on it a bit. BTW, after a lot of haphazard research I recommend retirement........ OF

Very cool. If you did indeed get ones intended for gun use that's great! Guys that sell stuff sometimes exaggerate in the area, but the genuine ones are wound very tight. The heads are very hard (not like you want for medical use) and DON'T SHED like q-tips do. IMO the very best come with...

Around you 'life is short, very short' from the glass POV. IMO strange time to get cheap, come on big guy splurge a bit it that's what they really want? Your call, of course. But I'm trying to see it from their side here..... Isn't that all the rage? Holiday regards to all. Good time for...

I'm with you on that. I use V2.5s much more than V3. Unfortunately no WT adapters like for V3 (yet?), the best 'luck' I've had is with Silicone tube either over the 2.5 MP and into a female GonG or over the 2.7 MP and then over a male GonG. However, you can use the one Matt sells for the V2.5...

Gentle Friends, FYI I just measured the available battery capacity in my Solo at 2750mAh. Well actually 2738 but I think 2750 is 'close enough for jazz'. I did this with a modified integrating USB port tester like this...

Yes, it's got to be safe for seals, right? I've had no troubles with any 'plastic' parts, same as you'd expect in the dishwasher. As posted above, don't go nuts with soaks. I've never had troubles but some guys have reported it. FWIW the effect doesn't seem confined to 'cheap glass'. Use as...

I agree. I think of it as a 'super detergent'. Not only is it a very effective conventional alkaline detergent but it comes with buffers and other agents so it keeps working even in very hard water. Or 'off pH' water. Whatever ya got. And agents for 'free rinsing'. On top of that it uses...

Exactly so. Just like your dishes in the dishwasher? Only more so. It's also very easy to wash them in the travel tube and rinse them in the kitchen sink, easier I think than messing with ISO. Does a better job too. And unlike ISO is not a fire hazard and is OK to put down the drain (which...

You're very welcome, of course, glad to help when I can. This forum is a fantastic resource with a atypically small level of BS (compared to lesser forums.....), I'm just passing on the tip from t-dub (a like minded soul with a white hat) in this case. The 'rinse free' technique is an...

It's actually fairly easy to do. Get a 'travel tube' from PV or Amazon (where they're called 'baby soda bottles' and other things). This is the blank soda bottles are 'blown' from (heated and expanded into a full size mold. Very solid seal on the cap (it has to hold a lot of pressure with...
