    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    If I'm following it's not a DV requirement. They are suggesting it to back up your claim? It's unfortunate there's a problem, of course, but they no doubt feel they didn't damage your unit and try to fake their way out of it. OTHO, some folks (not saying you......) might be tempted? I'd like...

    The Arizer Air

    OK, so I contacted Arizer on the 3rd party issue. I asked "Will you cover under warranty Air Vaporizers used with 3rd party batteries or chargers?" As might be expected, I got what seems to be a 'form letter reply': Hello, Thank you for your email. Arizer Batteries and Chargers meet...

    The Arizer Air

    Such warranties are not a given. It's not required. It's a contractual agreement. And your ability to claim benefits under it depends on your following their instructions. They, like other makers, get to make those rules. Not us. Again, the important key would be Arizer saying using XXX...

    The Arizer Air

    So that's not what it says? Mine says "Do not use any 3rd party or unknown brand batteries or chargers". What does yours say? They do provide a charger, it's built in as in many products. A stand alone charger is not needed to use the product. I think we get it it's "100% OK" with you, but...

    The Arizer Air

    It's covered in the insert that came with the unit, right? And it's been discussed over and over and over in this thread. How about we do this the other way? Ask them and let us know? A safe, no cost, alternative is to simply use the Air to recharge of course. OF

    The Arizer Air

    Are you sure? At one point I convinced myself that they were as PV claims, 'hand blown' (made from glass stock, not Arizer parts). At the time (a while back) the PVHES had slightly larger diameter, different blow profile and tended to be more round. At the least I think the GonGs belong on...

    The Arizer Air

    More than vapor path length goes into how harsh vapor is. However, everything else being equal, longer paths means more time to cool. GonGs designed for Solo work with Air, Planet Vape is a good source. The inline bubbler is of the "F Bomb" or "PNWT" (Pinnacle Water tool) type, lost of them...

    Arizer Solo

    Thanks. I agree. I think, perhaps, in our 'sound bite' society guys get the idea that convection is superior to conduction and they (quite naturally) want the best........ Satisfaction is where you find it? Buzz words have power......even if you don't really fully understand what they mean...

    Discontinued Elevape SV

    Easy, they don't. They simply compensate for the effect of changes in draw. By watching the temperature and holding it constant. Just like 'cruse control' doesn't weigh your car or measure the hill, it just applies power to hold a preset speed. Or how your home furnace compensates for a cold...

    Arizer Solo

    I'm going to say this is pretty normal, to one extent or another. It's what I'd expect from a conduction vape. I know guys like to think Solo is convection, but IMO ain't so. The heat gets to the load mostly by conduction. During the hit, airflow spreads the heat around, but before the hit...

    It's no doubt a standard sheet metal punch press, routine fare in any production shop. It uses semi custom 'dies' (actually a punch and die) matched to the press looking like these: http://www.airtronics.com/images/PunchPressTooling.jpg The critical part is the punch is a tiny bit smaller than...

    If it gets too hot (and it sounds like that's what happened), don't heat it so much........ IMO you're off to a bad start if you think all you have to do is copy another guy's successful routine/timing. Even if you have the same lighter (meaning the same heat input per second), same herb...

    The Arizer Air

    Yes, the Solo stem is a 120mm version of the one on the left in your photo. Or, more accurately, the one in the photo is a 70mm version of the Solo? No 'chicken/egg thing' here, we know who came first and who's copying who...... OF

    Arizer Solo

    Again, your call. But it obviously is being exposed to more temperature than 'steam'. We know that part of the exhaust of the vape is very hot (the reason we get condensation at one end more than the other shows that I think). It it weren't the case we would not find so much benefit from...

    Arizer Solo

    Your call, but IMO still being alive isn't really proof it's safe? I think it's clear you can easily expose it to air out of the safe range, which will degrade the material. Most likely emitting some things I don't need to be breathing in. A few dollars for 'the right stuff' removes that...

    Arizer Solo

    Therein lies a real concern, IMO. Since we watch 'want hash' condense out of the vapor stream up close to the vape we can assume the air going through was mighty hot, well past the typical temperature ratings on such tube (typically 150F max with 212F intermittently allowed). Rather I suggest...

    Vapman

    I think you've noting to fear, really. It's easy to share a hit or two at a time. Simply load it, preheat as needed to get a good hit then once the rhythm is established heat it again and hand it to him/her to take the next hit. You control the hard part, all they have to do is hit it and...

    The Arizer Air

    Yup, it (last one sold) happened between 9:09 PM when I sent an email to a friend wanting one and 9:13 when he tried to buy one....... They don't last long for sure. Hopefully they'll be back soon......and gone again too fast. OF

    Arizer Solo

    Don't hold your breath. Not only is the entire Solo built onto that chassis but it carries the serial number. Serial numbers are a strange thing, with a few obvious exceptions (firearms and motor vehicles for instance) there is no requirement by law. You'll find some vapes (like Solo or MFLB)...

    The Arizer Air

    I don't think so. Many of my Li-ions have such minor dents (from other vapes, flashlights and such. No problems with any of them. OF
