Pretty cool, but calls for memorizing some 'hand signs'. Then again what would you expect from people who's written language calls for memorizing thousands of characters just to read a news paper? There's also the old hardware/software joke, "Never argue with a guy that can count to 1024 on...

Thanks, yes I noticed and understand such things. I'm not making myself clear obviously. Perhaps a photo will help: As I hope you can see, I've preserved what I think is sufficient 'meat' behind the bearing surface. My major concerns are thermal (don't want to change that even a tiny bit)...

Yep, one of them things they taught me back when I was stuck in the second grade fer so long..... Comes in handy sometimes, if the numbers aren't too big. OF

You're welcome, such 'proofreading errors' happen for sure. Even without language translations to add to the fun. How do you know when you've made the last correction? Not a big deal, but easily fixed once identified. I think labeling, even the cryptic I and O we Yanks can never get...

That wasn't the agreement. While I understand the idea, I'm not willing to pay more for my unit to cover such costs for others. If/when mine fails I guess I'll consider that? IMO this is great news. I'm a big fan of 'root cause failure analysis'. I believe it's a critical part of Quality...

You're welcome, I was sure it was news to you (or you'd have addressed it). I don't agree with you that the heating post shape is an advantage in heat transfer. The outside few mm of OD is not involved in heat transfer in any useful way, it simply sticks out and worse still has a sharp edge to...

I'm not exactly sure what the questions is. If it's 'how can you use the heat levels on Air?', fortunately I can count that high. I go to the bottom (or top) and count up or down to the step I want. I started using step 3 by default, now I use step 2. Color not withstanding. I can see blue...

Unless you're color blind...... Maybe if it had been Engineers they would not have chosen a color scheme that makes those of us who are 'red/green color blind' (about half the total) unable to use the feature. It's only men (for practical purposes) and about as common as being left handed...

Gentle Friends, Here's a photo of a couple of simple mods I've done to my new VS: First was to add a disk of self adhesive felt (like you'd put on the bottom of a table lamp). I cut it 2 1/8 inches in diameter so it just fits in the shallow well in the bottom. This keeps the wood off the...

There is no danger of their discharging too fast, any more than there's a danger of overrunning the mains charger. Solo's internal charger limits current draw to under one Amp (which is why it needs a battery, one Amp is not enough to run Solo on it's own). It varies from Solo to Solo and...

Yep, that's what I use. The can has changed over the years, but this is the current one: http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Fine-Wood-Paste-00203/dp/B0000DIWIM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431287708&sr=8-1&keywords=johnson+paste+wax It's basically nearly pure Carnauba (which is solid) dissolved in...

No need to, you've done your usual bang up job. Keep it between 10 and 15 Volts in, Solo has an on board switcher as a charger, it'll do the voltage conversion with 90% or so efficiency (that is as the input voltage goes up, the current drawn goes down. The 'extra voltage' is converted to more...

Wax is a good call, IMO. Linseed oil (the original finish) is another good call I think. It hardens over time and protected wooden military rifles for as long as we used wood. Tough service there. If you're going to use wax, my advice is forget half way measures with Beeswax or other soft...

Some guys just heat the stem with a lighter until vapor forms. Others collect it on cotton (or cigarette papers) and vape that. Others dissolve the 'reclaim' in ISO then evaporate the ISO off on a dinner plate or similar. Others simply simmer their stem in milk/hot chocolate and enjoy it that...

I'd be very suspicious of 'doesn't deliver all the Amps they claim' claims unless I knew for sure the guy making the claim could deal with 30 Amp circuits. It takes very little in the way of stray resistance to cause that, much less than most guys can measure with the gear they own (even if...

I'm sorry, I got kinda lost, lots of ideas flying around and all. If you're asking 'how do I make such a battery pack of 18650s to charge my Solo?' I think we can deal with that easily enough if you can solder and strip a few wires. It's really not all that hard, six solder connections total...

Not directly, mine wants five Volts. But I do feed the '12 Volts or so' into the circuit board from a USB auto charge adapter and use the USB port output to charge the phone. And my Air. And the ESV. And any number of vape pens....... One like these guys...

And well you should be. That's no doubt the total current capacity of all the 18650s or whatever are inside. At 3.6 Volts. Getting that to 12 will probably cost you something over 300%, that is one Ah will cost you 4 Ah of battery. If they're honest. Another way to do it is to put 3 in...

Unless you hold it up to a mirror........ Misinformed is not stupid. Not even close. It's one of those details you never think about, like cold water on the right. Ever find a sink the other way around? I have, talk about all your reflexes going the wrong way. Washing your hands becomes a...

Here's another 'system idea' that hasn't been brought up AFAIK, the HS makes the VM silent...... I know that is a concern, it is for me sometimes when I'd otherwise like to enjoy the VM. This means I'd better get hot on a battery pack. Lucky for us, since the HS is already 'laptop like' WRT...
