As I understand it a dab is a bit of concentrate on a stick of some sort (metal or glass usually?) that is "dabbed" onto a super heated surface and instantly flashes to vapor. Like glowing hot. You need a very serious electrical heater or (more often) a largish Butane torch to get enough heat...

Or you can vape that reclaim. Put it on some cotton, load the vape, crank up the heat and hang onto your hat. Our own @Vitolo is famous for this. He's a wise guy you know? OF

A friend once clued me in on this. It only really takes one shot, low down from the outside, then wait a bit. For the sporting it becomes easier and easier as time goes on........after a bit you can scoop 'em up with your hands as they flap around in the bottom. OF

You should be very happy with it, if not you can blame Ataxian........ We do that a lot around here, some refer to it as 'shooting fish in a rain barrel' others simply consider it type casting. However you see him, he's a good guy and a great resource around here, unless you're made of glass...

I have both, and definitely use Solo more. Around the house I have to make an effort to pick Air over it. A session or two on Air and you're thinking about recharges (it'll do 4 usually, 3 for sure), Solo gives maybe 8 and counts down in steps. No problem picking one up at say step 4 o 5 on...

Yes, it gives you as much temperature as possible without combustion, same as the variable ones, performance is 'slow' because of the increased resistance in the heat flow path (heat can only move into the load so fast....). The pods fit all the FMs (at least the one's I have) as well as a lot...

Wilber and Orville's father, right? The guy that said, "Give it up boys, you'll never get it off the ground"? How's that for a memory? OF

FWIW I think another big advantage of Solo is the improved 'battery meter'. Seven non ambiguous steps rather than the 3 on Air that need normal color vision to even 'read' (Red/Green color blindness is something about half of 1/8 of men 'suffer' from to some extent). About the same percentage...

Powdered Brewery Wash. A purpose built detergent specifically intended to clean the same sort of 'organic junk' out of brewery gear, developed for Coors in fact. Yes, 'Home Brewing Shops' sell it in small quantities or you can buy it on line...

Yes, it comes with one. Well, 2 really compared to Solo. Roughly half as long, one style has a plastic tip. OF

I think the Lady (CK) has nailed it. The Solo 2 looks to be as tall and wide but is slightly oval in cross section (as opposed to being more round). Nothing like Air. Air has somewhat reduced features but is much smaller, that's the one for you I think. I'm with the Lady (again....), go with...

The new Solo is probably a month or two out, expect reviewers to have them a week or two before they hit the street? PIU will likely 'have it first' and typically offers Members a discount, I'd follow the Solo thread for that word? There is no announced plans for an Air upgrade.....that's...

First off, howdy! Welcome to the Forum and all the fun and good information......I guess you've figured that part out already without my help? Anyway, good folks. Hopefully you'll soon be one of us helping the new guys along? Or just sharing fun and experiences with the FM. Yes, by all...

That will work, of course, but the bigger piston (more square inches) means you have to push that much harder to get enough PSI to move the wax I'm currently using. CO2 oils I've used in the past did just fine with the 3cc syringes I used with them (still have a part of a big box of those...

Ah, so. You're no doubt referring to the Spice Girls......... Ataxian, some mornings you're a joy to read! Stay real. OF

I've been reloading a pair of the disposable kind with the same wax up to now. In the past i've done a fair bit of CO2 oils, too thin to make balls with, using several cc syringes. But the thicker wax needs a smaller bore (or stronger hands.....) to get the PSI up high enough to extrude a...

Yep, I loaded the first that way in fact. Works fine, the snake doesn't have to fit well as the plunger will press it out against the walls automatically as the trapped air vents out. The next time I tried balls, that didn't work as well, I ended up with a couple of air bubbles trapped, not a...

Gentle Friends, I've a concentrate loading suggestion for your weekend consideration. A while back one of our clever fellows posted his technique for rolling shatter into a snake and chopping off parts to make into balls. Great idea, IMO, but not that easy when I tried it. It took some...

Yep, don't pinch it..... They need to be tough, they've got a tough job to do. Best way I know to do it is to bend the last 1/4 inch or so up at maybe 30 or 45 degrees (I put another bend in the far end so I know which way it's pointing. This makes it easy to thread the end up through the...

I think I'll wait to see exactly what it has to offer and how folks like it? Solo (and Air) are doing just fine by me as well. I'm reminded of 'the old days' when car makers pushed for radical (and visual) changes to each year's models. New tools to make fenders for every model every year...
