Sorry, too subjective for me to bite. Remember me? The guy that likes the 'evil milkshake draw/restriction' on the original Solo....... Still do. I'm a fan of 'tip the stem to control the sipping action and don't use it for a handle. Someone else will have to judge how much is too much...

Belt and Suspenders? From PIU? I think he's gonna fit in just fine around here, don't you? OF

No, there are adapters to change size and/or gender as needed, like these: https://www.ebay.com/i/192245397473?chn=ps&dispItem=1 Time was when telling male from female was easy and obvious to any adult looking at it. Males fit into females.......as has been traditional for a very long time...

There's a very useful/informative UTube video of our host, the real life inventor of the VM, demonstrating the basic technique. At one point it was on his web page IIRC but I couldn't find it last time I was there, Google found it, though. It's entirely too complex to reduce to a 'gonna work'...

After washing and rinsing I invert it and blow out everything I can. The water caught in the upper trap is a very good starting point for fill experiments. Remember, in action the level rises as the water between the tubes and below the side holes gets sucked through to the 'output side'...

I think that's much too subjective to get a useful answer. Some guys hammer 'em into serious discharge rather that 'giving them a break' and recharging before they strain too much. Some guys take care to keep them cool, some guys don't. I think either of those two factors, alone can easily...

I don't read it as having tried a second battery (could be wrong, of course). I read it as the battery holds just enough charge to get started heating, but 30 or seconds into the heat it drops out? Such failures are seldom sudden as electronic failures typically are. Normally the weaker of...

Bummer. Sounds like the battery has given up. How was the battery life lately? Less sessions per charge? 3 YO? That's about the time 'use while charging' versions came out so that means you can't plug the charger in and heat at the same time? If you can ('use while charging') you might be...

They work (obviously) for most cases that are 'in control, but a purpose built detergent will work better in 'problem cases'. PBW is an industrial cleaner formulated first for Coors to clean out brewing gear. Same sort of stuff (burnt on hydrocarbon junk) we have to deal with and like us they...

Not quite, six or so loads before a top up of maybe 1/8 or so inch? I tried to count drops this morning, I put in 8 before I noticed my hand was wet (I missed the MP), but it wasn't much more than that to top up I think. Less than the distance from the holes to the bottom? Refills happen...

I suspect you're drawing far too hard and are sucking out bits of water at the same time. It's not evaporating that fast. I fill mine 'almost to the limit' by inverting it and blowing out any water that misses the upper trap. This should over the lower tube above the vent hole by a bit. When...

In the ironic way things sometimes work, I'd just finished enjoying my Solo II and one of Randy's 'WT Arizer stems" with some lovely top shelf I got the other day when I found a newbie struggling with just what this guy fixes. It occurs to me he's far from alone, so I'd encourage those...

A lot to get your arms around for sure. Hang in there, though, guys with a lot less going for them than you seem to have have broken the code here? A couple of factors are in play hitting a vape past the vapor itself (which can be harsher with one strain than another, even within strains due...

You're welcome. You might try blowing down through the heater with the cover off, often that flushes bits out from inside you can't otherwise get to. FWIW I suggest you rethink that 'no fire in my life of any kind for any reason'. It's combustion of cannabis that's important. Burning Butane...

This is quite normal. Not to worry. As you've figured out there's no way to prevent bits from going down the holes, some guys have found a teaspoon or more of such 'leaked herb' below the oven. Happens in Solo too (of course......same basic system). You can unscrew the cap/cover over the...

Interesting. Perhaps we're using different techniques since I see just the opposite? That is no clouding with PBW washing but do/did see it with ISO from time to time. Interesting......but still it seems related to cleaning not any changes in the glass or QC? OF

Or didn't have the same conditions/techniques? I think it's pretty common and typically related to how clean the inner surface gets. At least that's my experience (and I think others as well). To be honest I don't think it's fair to characterize the efforts that many of us made to work with...

It's not a standard sort of tubing for sure. Vinyl is also a bad call, it won't take hot tap water and more importantly is filled with chemicals you don't want to be vaping to keep the plastic soft and long lived. The 'boil off' with over temperature. Some grades would do better than others...

I'd avoid it. The very chemicals they add to normal plastics to get those "very tough and durable" character wanted in an application like that. Since there's zero chance it will ever experience water over about 180F (hot domestic water) they can (and no doubt do) compromise on that. It is...
