    Amen. Guys get hung up on quick secret fixes from the Web I guess? I go into some detail on this and why I think it's happening and a couple of posts and a couple hours later and you're doing exactly the same thing???? Thanks for responding, sometimes guys have to hear answers different from...

    They are obviously not at 305F, right? This has been discussed several times. Those 'temperatures' are only estimates of what might show up in the load based on how brightly the heater element shines in the lens window. A bit like ignoring your speedometer in favor of listening to the engine...

    You're welcome. Wonderful......I live to make you happy you know...... You can also get a "USB power bank" and use it and that cable to recharge your Air in the field should the urge take you? OF

    Yes. I've used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/cable-USB-4-0x1-7-DC-POWER-4-0mmx1-7mm-Charge-Supply-5V-Tablet-Android-Sony-PSP-/281234981407 Several other Members have used them as well. In fact, coupling it with a mains or car powered "USB charge port" is a cheaper, more useful charger replacement...

    Yep. And there's something very cool about a Bogwood one from a tree that is older than the great Pyramids in Egypt or the Great Wall in China. OF

    It's a bit of a moving target. You could also make it thicker, but that too adds expense. How 'breakproof' you willing to pay for? I think the 'replacement stems are cheap enough if you break one' is a viable way to go, not the only one of course, but it makes sense for many. It's a...

    I guess you can cough with just about anything, I can even cough when I'm not vaping..... I actually think HA is better than most here. Since the temperature of input air is carefully controlled, so can the vaping be. No hot spots and such. And when you add the 3 foot or so whip (although I...

    Careful here, "drawing pretty fast" to "reduce the heat trying to avoid combustion" is conduction vape thinking. This is a convection vape, drawing more HOT air into the load does not cool it. STOPPING drawing hot air in is what allows it to cool. Stopping the draw instantly stops more heat...

    You're welcome. I can't say, I never tried. I suspect the Solo/Air is too small (and short). The seal on HA is unique, it's made of two pieces of Teflon. One is a ring at the top, the other the plug. They have no rings or other seals, rather depend on the material and precision. The plug...

    Yep, that part makes it a whole other question. You're on your own there, while I have a PV GonG for the Solo/Air, I'm using an Air stem instead these days. And I've been happy with the HA's plug when that urge strikes. I'm afraid you're on your own when you clarified the conditions. They...

    I've got both, but don't think they really compare. One is corded (unlimited power, big advantage), true convection (another), holds a larger load (a third), uses a low thermal mass coercible you put into a warmed chamber (another....), has variable (rather than fixed step) temperature control...

    But it is "USB rechargeable", all you need is the right cable, right? No need for a charger, any handy USB source will work (mains, auto/RV, power bank, computer, etc.). If speed is an issue there are other vapes better for a quick hit or two on the sly for sure, but none I know of match the...

    OK, sounds like you broke the code already. We'll put you down in the 'like' column then? Congratulations. OF

    Or maybe a manifold to connect two VM. You could alternately heat them a few seconds each to get them to temperature at the same time....... Otherwise, larger diameter pan, perhaps changing the angles to keep extreme/average load thickness the same might work. For the truly serious, I'm...

    You can often get a couple of impressive furlongs out of a plow horse if you use enough whip too. To me the very fact it's not easy to do, 'natural' if you will, points to something wrong. Or at least inappropriate. A better/different tool is indicated? It's a fine balance. If you make the...

    Agreed, although I think more important is to understand VM was not designed to make 'big clouds' but rather for super efficient extraction from a very small load. Folks that bought one with other intents (like big clouds) are better advised to try a different vape IMO. Not hammering it with...

    It can make use of up to one Amp. At least the newer ones can. My 'first 100' is limited to .5 Amps (hardware no doubt?), but modern ones can charge at higher rates. A low power source just means longer times, past one Amp no further advantage happens. The tests I did on my newer one showed...

    No, I think it's dead. Note he said "(until I get a replacement)", to me that says he has a dud and is promised a replacement for it? In a way this is very bad news. GH is set up to be a high volume, low profit (per unit) deal. This can be the kiss of death if you have too many warranty...

    I think part of the answer is there's very very little 'lingering' vapor? The vapor path (from the load to you) is a very small volume really, it's not like a 'chalked' WT. Also, being true convection, vapor production stops very rapidly with air flow stopping. Play with it some, I just don't...
