Gentle friends, after this mornings positive results with the concentrate pod I decided to press on with the herb version. After fumbling with it for a few minutes when I first got it and finding the herb pod very difficult to load without making a big old mess I ordered FM's new...

I heard that. Nasty useless gimmick.....like that silly cap. I tried taking it off, don't waste your time there. I've even given some thought to defeating it (glue, tape, heatshrink or a pin...). The cap, chain, the plastic ring the chain attached to, and the stupid lanyard lug on top are...

Yep, subjective and then some. There's also 'mind tricks' going on too I think. I don't doubt that you might find more advantage in smoking a gram than vaping it, but you'd sure be in a very small group around here. Maybe even all alone? I mean guys that think blazing is better have probably...

I think many/most of us 'old hands' have tried them, most I think decided that stock stems generally do a better job making vapor and have gone back. I'm in that group. I'm confident they tested very carefully with Solo and profited from years of customer experience there. The made a stem...

Condolences. By way of some compensation we have American beer here....... "Like making love in a canoe" as the Aussies say........ Perhaps an invitation to come check it out first hand is in order? Regards. OF

Interesting experiment, I'll put it on the list of things to try sometime. My initial take is it's convection going on. Radiation heating is nearly instant. Ever try a Bender? Even though the load mass is big, it's very responsive, much more than I think you're claiming? What do you suppose...

Fer sure. Randy has a path straight to my 'buy this one' center. He got my money for a Mini when they first came out (email notice, shouldn't have given him my address.....). Then, when the sale came up, I couldn't pass up a backup one.....it's now on it's second loan out, sure to generate...

I get that for sure. We're blessed with excellent, legal concentrates, but I do know 'traditional hashes' from the old days here where the black market was it. Please note I said 'bubble hash', the stuff that is sieved from wash water. Nearly pure trichomes.......'the best of the plant' if...

I agree it's a great vape (I own more than one), but not optimum for stealth and 'quick hit or two on the sly'. You might want to consider the FM Mini, much smaller in the pocket, even small enough to 'palm' if needed. Not quite as tasty as Air, but sure not far from it. If the goal is a...

You might check tDub's thread, I recall some discussion of EU sources (and substitutes). It's available from Amazon. If you have home brewing shops they typically carry it (it was developed by Coors for beer making equipment at a commercial level). Other detergents will also work, but this...

Thanks for the additional information, it's starting to make sense. Excusing the smashing bit which I think we all understand is not a good thing to do, it sounds to me like some novice (who might have been stoned) didn't understand that ring is a lock on the button? Pushing hard enough...

Just say 10 Hail Marys and put $20 in the poor box....... Yes, I use the 'mouth' (Mica lined end, flame just long enough to go side to side) to gauge the flame size so I start with the same heat each time or close to it. Once going it's the rhythm that does it. Like Lawrence Welk, "a one...

I'm sorry, seems I left you with the wrong impression somehow. For sure not longer sessions, in fact shorter but more intense ones is what I should have conveyed. No magic, can't get more out than you put in, but the heat reservoir in the glass distributed through the load supports 'thicker'...

I think the 'take away' from such reports of 'best timing for me' is since we don't have the same lighters adjusted the same way matching seconds is only a starting point. I favor developing a rhythm once the unit's warmed up. If a 'four count' (most of us don't carry a stop watch to work...

Yep, that's the classic conversion, change in pressure for a fixed gas volume, or change in volume for a fixed pressure. We're not doing that of course. Since energy can't be created or destroyed, all we can do with Thermodynamics is move it around or change it's nature? Please do this test...

No Ataxian, the Grail is a goal (noun). She's on a quest (verb) to spread the doctrine, that makes it Holy..... To make it even more fun one can go on a Holy Quest for the Holy Grail....... Once this was pretty popular. OF

Great news, thanks for passing it. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself for breaking the last one......you were younger then. Best wishes. OF

None yet to report, not to worry I won't be shy. I hope to find time in the next few days. I've loaded the oil cart, nicely made but awkward to load. Not worth a mention, really. Edit: OK curse the guy that planted the seed, I dug out the 'pods' and decided to try the concentrate one...

I think you're off to a good start. However I don't think there's an "optimal technique" for all. It's very individual in the end. Solo/Air, unlike many (most?) other vapes are extremely open to variations of technique. Large load, small load, intact bud, ground to any of several levels...

Bummer. I fear even with the hands of a surgeon you're SOL without the tooling and maybe fresh parts. The tubes have a step at the top and are 'riveted' (peened over) on the inside of the bowl. I think you'd need fresh tubes (that weren't mangled) to insert properly and the tools in one of...
