While I understand the urge to do otherwise, I think the best advice for best possible battery life is to fully charge before the first discharge. Even 'overcharge' (I recommend four or more hours past 'full') before the first discharge by heating. This is the first time only. Once the first...

It turns out Freon is a common test gas (not something they like to advertise.....). As is Sulfur Hexafloride (SF6), the insulating gas used in high voltage switching gear in power stations and distribution centers around the world. Freon 12 and 22 used to be standards for insulating gas Fun...

I think vapor is forming from the get go, it's just also condensing again as soon as it cools leaving the hot surface, making a shallow 'fog bank' in the bowl. Atmosphere can only hold so much vapor at any given temperature, much like Relative Humidity and water vapor. The same sort of thing...

Hey, some wives are more trustworthy than others. The important part is you know which group she's in and plan accordingly. Sounds like a good call to me, but you would know best..... OF

I've got a friend (a former workmate) who took his second wife on a cruse for a honeymoon. A many times refitted WWII troop transport, now for the idle rich and those pretending to be. 6,000 troops, now 600 passengers with 1700 crew serving them. He's getting out of the shower, second day...

Proper hotels should have them in the rooms. After all, they have those horrid little coffee makers, scant use to us tea drinkers. Provide say Volcanoes or Solos (either in the room, from the Concierge, or maybe Room Service) and I can guarantee repeat customers. Perhaps not the ideal sort of...

Your call, but IMO it doesn't have to "be in a non-functional state at the time". It's an intermittent failure, it could well be working again when they get it if it gets 'a lucky bounce' or two in shipment? You're on record with them (for the RMA) they will look for the failure you describe...

We're not communicating well here I fear. What are you calling the 'brace ring' (their term...)? I believe it's the soft ring you're worried about. It snaps over the nut like piece with the 3 ribs that screws on the white body. The bottom piece in the photo I posted: The soft 'doughnut'...

Again, I haven't seen one, but strongly suspect they're using the same oven (why reinvent it again after Air?). It's not realistic to expect it to be exactly centered, there are too many bits that effect its exact placement (which is why the hole in the top is bigger and the part you're worried...

I read it, but have no direct experience with this apparent issue. Except to say there's no relay in there...... I also shy away from 'fixes' that involve bashing things, a sure sign of bad contact that almost certainly will become worse from this treatment. Not my sort of troubleshooting...

That great! How much do you rent your brother out for? Hey, maybe we get us some more brothers, get VM to make us some more units, and we go into business. Kinda like Uber......... OF

So, while I don't have one (yet.....), this definitely looks like the top of the Air oven, not the original Solo (which makes sense from a cost savings alone I think). Not to mention the 'tighter stem' that folks 'demanded' on Air. To have put a seal looser than Air (like the Solo I) would...

True enough, but you sacrifice temperature control to get it. That is by adding say 3 steps (about 30F) to the cup you run the risk of cooking your load at that higher temperature as soon as the flow slows. Right? Many of us do this (crank it up to 7 instead for the normal 4) when using a WT...

Well said. Only so much heat available. Drawing 'extra' (cold) air in only robs available heat that would otherwise make more vapor to heat it up to magic temperature......where it can only dilute the vapor. So 'less restriction' makes for easier to get, less dense clouds that are hotter...

If they look hard enough at most any used vape they can find residue enough for a bust. Residuals you can't even see, but easy to find with advanced techniques available (like blood at a murder scene). It's more a matter of them not looking, or if they do in a casual way I think. Even a brand...

Fool 'em. Insure it for more than it's worth...... OF

I guess I'm not sure that's what they meant. Perhaps it's more 'vaping at lower temperatures gives you more sessions per charge'? Perhaps some language issue translating out of Canadian? The kind of issue you're thinking of is more like 'for longer battery lifetime, allow them to cool between...

We discussed this a time or two on the Solo thread, not sure about the Air but doubt it. I believe the consensus was it didn't improve the airflow past a low point (since the flow is still restricted by the four holes which are unchanged), the only improvement possible is 'unblocking' those...

I know that one, mine was a guy, but you never can tell these days....... Used to drive me nuts, you should treat customers who trusted you honestly and with respect. But some bosses only see 'bottom line'. Even if you breathe new life in the pack (get lucky with the trickle charge) I'd still...

Makes sense to me now. I'll bet it got run into the mud (until it locked out due to discharge) and got the 'use while charging' treatment when it was most vulnerable over and over until the weaker of the two cells gave up under the abuse. Just enough charge to get through another session again...
