Like a lot of other vapes these days it uses a USB port as a power source. Normally a computer (or tablet), but can also be a mains or auto powered USB adapter (five VDC supply with the right jack). Or a Power Bank (worth considering here IMO since there's no battery meter and fixed internal...

I agree. It's a 'self fulfilling philosophy', or can be. Cycle life (charge, discharge back to charge again) can kill this class of batteries alone. As the 'depth of charge/discharge' goes up (meaning you more fully charge and discharge deeper getting more 'session time) that number goes...

Yer welcome, glad to help when I can. Great insight on the MFLB/Coil fit. Too bad it's glass against steel, it won't last. If accident doesn't happen first the glass stem is going to end up too deep into the hot SS and get into trouble when the steel cools (since it contracts faster than...

Thanks for that update/confirmation. Just what Joe said they think was going on. Human nature can kinda lead you down that path all right. Not possible with the upgrade......protecting our friend Mister Battery. Sharp guy that Joe, seems to know his stuff. OF

I think that's a good plan. Sounds like the classic dead battery to me, little/no capacity. Out of curiosity did you ever 'use while charging'? TIA Mine's boxed up again (power section only), ready to go back tomorrow. Wanna race? OF

From what Joe told me, yes. If you're S/N is under 100 and it's never been to the shop for the upgrade you don't have the software 'routine' needed to upgrade. Joe will add the so called 'bootloader' so upgrades are possible. I'm hoping to get mine to the PO tomorrow, Joe has been in Europe...

First off, welcome to the Forums. IMO, yes. I'd take MFLB over either of those. The MFLB thread didn't grow to over 25,000 posts because folks didn't like it. Most of us have them, and even having 'graduated' to other vapes still have a fondness for the modest little guy. You might also...

You're very wrong I think. Health Stone is sintered glass, the heat exchanger is sintered Silicon Carbide? Two radically different materials with very different characteristics. They are not the same. They're just made the same way (sintered), appearance doesn't cover it all. One intended...

Yes, I think it's a bad idea. It's not a filter, it's a heat exchanger. It's designed to heat air........ OF

First off, howdy! Welcome to the Forums and all the fun. I agree with you completely, it's a great place with good folks with first hand experience and advice eager to share with each other as well as the curious. For many of us it's all about informed decisions WRT vapes, how they might 'fit...

Unfortunately you'll have to wait. Somehow. Not even Randy can fix that part...... One thing sure, it's most likely to be the shortest wait possible short of a LHS. Hang in there, you'll love it when it's in your hand. Then you'll want to know 'what took me so long to get this?'. OF

Of course, what did you really expect? The HS 'always works fine'. Aside from a random pass element/switch (the part that actually turns the heater on and off) failure is almost certainly tied up in some subtle software issue. Serious simulations may be the only way to tie it down. It could...

Don't distract the man, have a little faith, it'll happen at perhaps unmatched speed. I figure you've got an even money chance to have it this week, if it weren't for the holiday it'd be near certain. There's a lot of excellent vapes in this wide world to consider. Right off, you might think...

Nope. Basically the same as Solo, a Stainless steel cup heated from the backside. There's ceramic furnace cement, but it runs cooler and isn't part of the airpath really. Glass and SS for the most part. IMO a big factor in Solo's well earned reputation for continued good taste? OF

Sorry, don't know Nano. I assume that's the one you're talking about with the 'heated ceramic' since there's none in Air? Some convection vapes can add 'that hot metal' smell/taste to the air since they have exposed hot metal heating the air, not so generally with conduction where metal...

I think I have a couple of the Arizer ones, given by a friend to try in another vape. IIRC they come with one of the other Arizer vapes (a corded one)? Not useful for us here as there's a metal rim on it. You could trim that off I guess? The Ebay ones are the ticket I think. OF

Now that's just plain silly.....who ever heard of a wisegirl? Wiseguys? We got more of them than you can shake the proverbial stick at...... Funny how that works out, isn't it? Ironically it was for a while (at least in theory), and can go back to being so again soon? The important point...

It's included (if needed) as part of the upgrade as I understand it. Joe wants to bring it up to 'newly made' status. Pretty cool attitude if you asked me. My assumption is the battery is a potential warranty issue. If, when tested, it's out of spec it gets replaced. OF

Hey, it has an up side. Joe told me when he gets mine he'll not only upgrade the software, but will also test the battery and replace it if it's getting weak before fully testing the complete unit (like it was new). You get a basically 'brand new' unit back. I have to box mine up again (I...

Yep. Ain't that just the truth? I like to boast of the time Randy got a unit in my hands in just under 24 hours! Even using the Post Office. He shipped within an hour and it was in my hands the next morning. Then again it only had to come about 400 miles, most of that downhill, but it's the...
