That would be 'the rub' as they say. I'm not sure you could get the mica back in the slot in the wood and the screws lined up without ending up with a pile of chips. AFAIK, nobody has reported doing it. I think the mica is trimmed and polished (edges) in place. You could, of course, discard...

You're welcome. I get the customs/shipping issues. Like I said, if you have the classic version (no mica) you can order a replacement pan and tube assembly and replace it yourself. Latest production units do this directly, older ones might need sanding the center hole out a bit first so the...

IMO not a strong suit, not the goal with the device. It's designed for 'grab a quick hit or two on the sly duty. Taste is OK, but it's still a conduction vape with SS vapor path and not easy to keep 'squeaky clean'. Vapor quality can be exceeded by vapes with those design goals (like say Solo...

"No click", a mechanical failure of the piezo stack or linkage, is usually fatal. And rare. While you can replace the assembly (there are basically two types 'used in everything') is possible ('a man built it, a man can take it apart....') and while done with Iolite (which uses this say...

You can get them quite cheaply on line. For instance, here's an assortment with 'burners' for well under ten bucks shipped: https://www.fasttech.com/products/3020/10015234/2806300 For even less you can get them without the (otherwise useless) burner: https://www.fasttech.com/p/3189600 One of...

Yeah, but IMO way too much WT for the job. I've had better luck with the bubblers commonly used for 'vape pens'. Here's two examples the first on another vape, but coupled to the WT with a short piece of tube as a gasket same as with the FM. The second (probably my favorite?) is using a...

We just had another innocent guy on a tight budget get sucked into a counterfeit Solo by an "Authorized Dealer" no less. Perhaps that dealer isn't above making even more money selling junk as the genuine article? Counterfeits seem to 'be everywhere' these days. To me it makes no sense at all...

No problem, use the largest step on the adapter then? Good luck with it. How you connect it up is not nearly as important as getting it done somehow....... OF

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Sorry to shout, but bad idea all around. Not only will the flame melt the solder every time you hit it. Eutectic Solder, ideally 63% Tin, melts at something like 360F, it's melted again before the load reaches 'magic temperature'. More importantly, the other 37% of such...

Bravo Stu! No doubt near my (moved) 'counterfeit Air' post..... Sad, this is not the first time we've been advised of fakes (why would a vape made in Canada be so cheap in China???). While I don't recall solid arrow keys, "way too bright LEDs" seems to be a common trait of most/all the...

Yep, easy enough to do. The timer doesn't reset when you change temperature (you have to shut it off then back on for a reset), easy to forget even when you're used to the machine. Since it seems to heat to preset temperature and make vapor on schedule the processor, battery, heater and sensor...

Hard to say from here. I think there are at least two issues. First being the 'it doesn't show a drop when I hit' (but seems to otherwise make vapor......that is not drop to room temperature???). The 'bump it a few degrees and it shows a lower temperature' part is in line with this as such a...

Like this, usually in a nearby pocket with it's friends: I like to have a couple loaded and ready to go so I don't have to mess with reloading stems when I should be vaping. How do you carry yours? OF

Yes, we all have (although some don't notice), there's nothing faulty with your unit. The manual should be on line, but doesn't cover this IIRC. This technique (sometimes called 'masking') is really pretty common, if it showed a drop just imagine how much angst that would create with some...

Cool. Glad to hear it's soldiering on. BTW the white 'label' on the beeper is a protection for washing (as is sometimes done in production boards), if you peal it off it gets much louder....... OF

Looks like the same thing all right, where it counts. The tank looks a bit shorter (better for pocket carry). The base looks like acrylic or other hard plastic? The black base is soft, comes with 'new sneakers smell'. Failure to fire is almost always a spark gap issue. The nozzle gets...

You mean you've become compulsively attractive to women everywhere? They're mobbing you in public, sneaking into the men's room after you and all? Love letters in the mail from married women, many with photos? Bad break, but Ataxian seems to survive it......you might see if he has any tips...

Agreed, the stand is a joke. And dangerous! It's just not stable, would you seriously lock the flame on and use the stand for 'both hands available'? It seems some do? The cover is also a PITA, as is the chain if you just take it off. And the chain leaves a lug right where I want to put my...

While it is true that you can only use one VM at a time (unless you're showing off, of course....), something like that is mighty nice to be looking at while enjoying your main VM. I have a Walnut one in that category, it sees very little use though, which is a sin of sorts I think. Such fine...
