Thanks, Pak. I agree, they must be LSD as they advertise "Maintains 65% of original charge after being stored for 3 years". Given they're 'made in Japan' and the right mAh rating what do you suppose the likelihood they are the Imedions? IMO Amazon is unlikely to 'brand' second tier stuff...

I think they're new enough nobody has, at least not found success and reported it. I doubt they'd excel, most don't. I too think the Glyphs are going to beat them (or any other most likely) but being in Brazil getting them might be a problem? Perhaps you'd have better luck with the 'second...

Good point. I use two of the largest ones in the jar for the 'thumbtack from the top' ones, otherwise smaller heads, the stems are all about the same in the ones I have, pack in easier on their sides. The two big ones I'm currently using are both blue, making them easy to spot/pick out from...

Been there, done that, you're spot on. In my traveling days I'd carry a small Sony dual conversion SW to listen to VOA and BBC World Service. My link with the real world (home). Somehow 'Special English' reminded me of the kids in grade school that rode to school in that short bus and had...

My standard load is seven. 2 on their side in the bottom, about 1/3 the bud on top, 3 (again on their side) next, covered by the remainder of the load. Finally the last 2, 'thumbtack style' on top (which makes opening/closing easier and keeps the ports in the top cleaner. Early on I tried...

Amen. Thanks for saying so so clearly. I too at first 'held off' for basically the same reasons, we all agreed to follow the rules which say (amongst other things: Lurk before posting. Please search and read before posting to see if your topic is already covered. Read threads before posting...

The sacrifices you make on our behalf are inspiring. OF

Good call, can't be having the new bull envying the old one, right? OF

As has been said, the plating is mostly cosmetic I think. It's not all that expensive to do really, provided you have the correct facility (IIRC Cyanide is involved in the process, you need really nasty stuff precisely because Gold is so intert). So while a really tiny amount is needed (a few...

No need to worry about those hot spots. Straight conduction here, the surface inside never gets past vaping temperature (400F, give or take). Clever design, isn't it? And I wouldn't worry about the Gold, it's basically inert. Which is why king Tut's mask doesn't need polishing even a couple...

Yer welcome. Straight Solo stems fit in the 'travel tubes' PV sells ("Baby Soda Bottles" on the web also works, they're the blanks soft drink bottles are blown from). Vortex is about half an inch too long, not sure what to recommend there. http://www.planetvape.ca/travel-tube.html OF

I usually just cap both ends with vinyl caps. The tube is pretty strong and if the ends are protected from impacts (like dropping.....) this way they just bounce. For even more protection, you can put a pair of them in the dual 18650 storage cases like these...

There's also the option of 'the poor man's purity test'. Spray some of the liquid butane onto a clean mirror (laying flat....) and let it evaporate off. Try for a small puddle, keep adding a bit more. Be sure to shake it up well, some things (like water) settle, you want to know that. Then...

I'm with you, it makes no sense to me either.....but then it's not my views in control? I see little harm in the idea. It will add a bit of restriction I guess. Not doing it has a worst case risk a tiny bit of herb escapes? Not an issue for me, but it could be for some. For sure it's not...

GREAT! A decided improvement. Better is good. Follow that path, repeat techniques that give the results you like, experiment a bit for even better. You know the drill. Lay off the blazing, without exception for a few weeks then try smoke again.......bet you find it disgusting. And your...

Cool. Glad you're dedicated to getting on board. Remember, a single backsliding to blazing resets the clock. Worse still it sets up a 'just wait, you'll get smoke again' deal internally. Strangely, 'only once every week or two' is a worst case. That could go on forever....... If you're...

Vaping is probably not for everyone, but IMO it should do well at it's intended purpose (allowing you to get the benefit of the herb without the toxic smoke). However, you have to give it a change. In a funny 'mind trick' sort of way you long ago associated sucking smoke into your lungs (nasty...

I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that Solo and Air loosen up at the same rate, I too don't think that's the case. Having the 3 ribs (rather than Solo's one) keeps the stem more vertical. This keeps it from 'wallowing' out the hole (like you would with the side of a twist drill bit to...

Cool. I think for the most part we agree here? Arizer apparently doesn't see a problem with using Solo stems? Not fitting when new/cold his hardly news. It's been mentioned over 100 times between Solo and Air threads I bet. And reports of loosening up over time seem the norm. Has anyone...

I found out of round conditions on a single stem that 'covered' two others. IMO it's going to age and get use if used, the best we can hope for is delay. As to the 'I hid it too good when stoned thing' I don't know the first thing about that, never had it happen. But I understand if you get...
