Yeah, our Ataxian is on a permanent Holiday, if you know what I mean? And I wouldn't worry about him having too much glass around, that's not a new photo........ OF

You're in so much trouble on so many fronts and 'vaping Q-tip cotton' is so far down the list nobody really takes much notice? I too think our Vitolo has it right. I looked for any proof a while back that there was a realistic health risk, found none. I came away with the feeling it (organic...

Hey, not a bit of that. No apology called for at all. It's just as SK suggests you'll find a wider audience there. For my money Air is a great herb vape, but not so much so with concentrates. Few vapes are great with both IMO. That said, a personal favorite that does very well with both...

No, I don't. Again, tobacco runs at a much different temperature. You get Nicotine, not THC (or Nicotine and THC together). And a tiny bit of Nicotine has a bigger effect than you'd expect when vaped. Take it slow if you go there. And don't expect any benefit from hash in the load. If...

Great, but again, changes in flame size call for different times? OF

And 'therein lies the rub'. You get 'full extraction' from the tobacco long before any THC from the hash in this technique (heating from the outside). This is not an issue in combustion since other areas of the load are the right temperature for each (and more). Best to avoid the tobacco all...

While this might be perfect, others should realize that if they're not using 'the same' torch, heat setting and distances they'll get different results. You need to compensate for changes in your torch flame if you want to keep using the same technique as it changes. I use the mouth of the VM...

Yes, I did. Please note in the post above: Pyrometers are just light meters with sensitivity to IR calibrated in degrees based on an "Emissivity" factor (how bright something glows WRT it's temperature, it varies a LOT for some materials. Like a camera light meter it can be easily fooled by...

Lest we forget Arthur C Clarke's third Law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke%27s_three_laws OF

There are two general schemes to do this, based on expansion with heat. One uses a disk of 'bimetal', two different metals with two different expansion rates bonded together so they must bend with heat. This is the way most home thermostats work, as well as the mechanical thermometers like you...

Yep, it's fun sometimes. We get 'don't risk toxic Butane' warnings from health nuts using Bic lighters (with their actually toxic 'flint dust') as examples. Guys who can smell/taste Butane which is officially odorless (look it up.....). And warning on how Butane itself is toxic, yet it it...

Sure, for preheating. When it comes to vapor production you need to supply heat energy for that process. This means heat (in calories) as well as heat (in degrees). To bring energy into the load the air has to be hotter than the magic temperature. Think about it, if the (heated) air is say...

Surface area counts way more in convection than conduction like we have here. In conduction physical contact is the key generally, but you'll catch on to those sorts of things as you go along. Like proper grinding and packing can enhance contact and yield even bigger benefits. Remember to...

Sounds reasonable to me to remind folks that they don't need to buy an external charger when that's the case? It's an option? But that is there, not here? I too charge my batteries in the Air. Both the 'main using one' and the spare. IMO it's part of the design of the system. It's not the...

Yes, I think it's excellent. The Mini has a size advantage, but IMO Aura is the most natural to use. Size, weight, texture, balance, display. Everything seems 'right' to me. I don't use the pods except for concentrates, but in bulk herb it's a favorite for sure. IMO it's the result of...

I think so too. If I think about it I reach for Solo more often I think, and there's one of each ready to go handy. Personally I like the looser stem in Solo and am a fan of tipping it to control the draw. I find I do it without thinking about it, which is good 'cuz I get distracted easily...

Good on ya. You won't regret it, no looking back from down the road, second guessing if you should have taken the few extra hours..... Soon you will be together. "This too shall pass". Outstanding! We knew you'd be an easy sale if we could only get one in your hand..... Easy to use...

Yer welcome fer sure! Many good folks around here to help the new guys and each other. Very soon I suspect you too will be sharing your (first hand) experience and advice, after all it seems you 'have a way with words'........ Enjoy the Solo, it's an easy thing to do. And a popular one...

Excellent point! It's not like smoking, if you want denser vapor, slow down! Then, if you're still not happy, cautiously try adjusting the temperature. Pulling harder doesn't feed the fire and make more heat, just the opposite the cold air takes heat away from vaping. OF

First off, howdy, welcome to the Forum and all the fun. Lots of great folks around here ready to help and share tall stories. Great choice on Solo, but you know that. No, do not use it 'out of the box'. Charge it first, fully, no cheating. Charge it a minimum of 4 hours AFTER the charge...
