    PBW & the Chemistry of Clean

    Excellent, a first hand experience with the specific problem. However, to stick to the science here it didn't "dissolve", but rather was broken down into small isolated bits that rinsed away. Dissolving is like salt in water. Atomic level. No lumps. The solid breaks down to the atomic level...

    Don't do that, you have a white hat here! You did just what any of us would want, alerted us. More so if you had history that said they were legit (and may still be in most things. Their saying 'it's OK' to the GF after the sale had closed is not a good sign........and I sure don't like the...

    Arizer Air to Flowermate Mini Pro

    Not nearly as important as my remembering.......... For now I'm happy to do the remembering for both of us, that's how important it is to me? OF

    Arizer Air to Flowermate Mini Pro

    Good advice from KZ, as usual. I suggest considering what he says carefully. The herb carts are lame, this is a conduction vape, adding gaps and SS (poor heat conductor for a metal) only slows that down even more. And the battery really is 'short lived'. If you fire it up, take a few hits...

    PBW & the Chemistry of Clean

    Never had that exact problem, but my money's on PBW here. Solvents probably won't do much, you need to break the mold down, not dissolve it. Detergents might/should do it given enough time and modest agitation. Next step I'd consider would be careful use of a corrosive. While acids could do...

    Your call, of course. They've offered to discount the upgrades (to Classic Pear) to $20 each. I've no need for another Pear Classic (love mine....) but would like a basic in Walnut (as my Classic Walnut is 'too pretty to use everyday). The second was for a Christmas gift. I countered with...

    I doubt it, I suggested they simply backorder the units they sold to me, they said: We apologize for the inconvenience. The vapmansale was a liquidation sale as stated in the newsletter. Unfortunately, we did run out of stock on the Basic units. We are able to refund you for the order, or if...

    Sad to report it has every indication of a scam. Look what I just got: Regarding your order OR200XXXX, unfortunately, we are out of stock on the Vapman Basic. However, we do have the Vapman Pear Complete in stock. We were wondering if you wanted a refund for your order, or if you would like to...

    Neat for sure, but how about if it fails sooner? The battery in use goes years for almost all owners. Sound Engineering considers such things, not just 'better out of the box'. Ironically, sales types can favor the flash and shorter life.......they'd love to sell you replacements? You might...

    I don't think the material is responsible for that. You'd get the same results with other ceramics, or even other (inert) materials. I think we can give credit for the clean flavor to other aspects of the design. It uses a 'thermal core' concept to heat air for pure convection. Other TV...

    The Summit by Vapium (Formerly MARK 1)

    Makes sense, but it limits options for others by not 'sticking with' either of the established standards. The same logic would have covered using the Iphone connector as well......... If/when USB C becomes a common standard, that changes of course. Definitely your call, but not one I support...

    Well done it seems, congratulations. If it were me, I'd open the old pack and clip out the protection PCB, output lead and thermal protector. That is snip the 3 metal straps (stout scissors do a good job, the metal is quite thin). If you can find someone who can solder two new (matched) cells...

    What you said. I recall how 'early on' we were all concerned the ovens would be burning out and need replacement...... We were younger then. OF

    Sounds like you've got it under control, good results are about the befall you...... Yes, the overcharge idea is not all that solid (variations in battery capacities, conditions, charging circuits and such). Four hours is a good minimum, I generally use 'overnight' since running a few hours...

    I agree, this is not 'normal'. That is it's not a common experience. I assume this is not a 'brand new' battery pack, if it is I think it's defective and should be sent in for warranty. Here's what I think is happening. We've said before that it's important that the two cells in the pack be...

    The Arizer Air

    My understanding as well (as long as you're not selling them of course.......). It seems 'right' to make suggestions you think might benefit the other guy, but not to dwell on it. They shouldn't take just one guys opinion anyway, they should go to the appropriate thread and do their own...

    Stuff is pretty amazing for sure, a great 'find'. And it's kinda fun in cases like yours. Several times I've brought some 'to the party', inviting guys to bring out the glass they no longer want to be seen with. Put a bit (a couple cc for a typical piece?) in and fill it with the hottest...

    Great tip! Thanks for the word. A couple of additional points, free shipping (normally $20 to US for the cheap rate) if you order over $100. Also, the basic one is WALNUT (yes, it seems it's the upgraded version....). So a second one really costs you much less. You can get two, shipped, for...

    Basketball? OK, so it was a Cannuk (Canadian) who came up with the idea, but he was working for us Yanks at the time. I'd also say 'Baseball' but that would only get the Cricket guy's knickers in a twist........ OF
