No, it does not. It's intended for Solo, there are two different size rings, even with the 'right one' in Solo, some fitting may be needed. Air is an entirely different scheme. Actually, since they're 10 minutes (not 12 like Solo) you got the same 60 minutes maximum everyone else reports...

The charger alone cannot supply enough power for the heater (about half only), which is why the PA for those Solos that support it is able to provide so much more current (about 2.5 Amps, not one, minimum). You need a solid battery with at least a partial charge to power from the 12 Volt one...

I suggest you try removing it when the stem is hot. I found it easier which is what led to the idea that it was tightening it up a bit when hot that was causing the problem. I too thought that four colors defined four (not five) even sized bands, until I actually measured it. I found no level...

Small world! Great little gadget isn't it? Does you cat like to attack it too? OF

Oh, no, I'm not offended. I'm concerned that some guys might take your 'findings' as fact given the way you talk about design faults and changes that IMO don't exist. That, IMO is not only not true, but would naturally lead some to think there was an undefined fault in their early unit, for...

I did just that, which is why I said "Actually I don't find that change at all. My original BF unit and the one I just got seem very very similar to me." What I meant to say is when I compared the two to each other I didn't find any significant change.....which is why I asked what you based...

By all means please do. I have done that (count, measure) and reported here what I found. It seems much in line with what others found. It would be interesting indeed if you found something different I think. I think it's fun to note until I ran that test and posted what I found we couldn't...

Yes, that's what I said. Based on my test, reported here: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-arizer-air.16415/page-144#post-750291 I took a fair bit of care (ran it twice in fact), I got 6 test sessions before red, 6 after, making it 50% through. Note these are test sessions, not making...

It's not useless, it's just aggravating in that it could easily be so much more useful. Think about my gas gauge analogy above. You get fine steps where you don't need them (at the top of the charge). And with 3 steps (green, white, orange) covering what's basically two sessions you don't...

I didn't say it wasn't accurate (at least I didn't intend to), I said it wasn't all that useful. Imagine covering the bottom half of your car's gas gauge with tape so you can't see it. That's what Air gives you. In your car you can know how much gas you have left, as long as it's over half a...

Agreed, but I'll hold that the charger in question, the one from Omicron/Persei fails that 'quality charger' test. And since, as you point out, these batteries have no internal protection and are capable of very high peak power this is a bad combination IMO. It is not a full featured charger...

My advice would be to avoid that charger. It's basically the cheapest available, and uses some shortcuts that IMO are dangerous. Notice only one light? That's because it's really a single channel charger with two sockets. The two batteries are connected in parallel. Potentially very very...

Gentle Friends, Here's a fun (and IMO useful) mod of the 'skin' shipped with the Air. It was suggested by a friend who had become annoyed with the little cover for the charge port popping open. He had found a wide rubber band that was the right size to hold it shut and partially block the...

I generally don't. One or the other usually. When I do it's usually Iolite or Solo I guess. OF

For the post to poke through....... OF

No, I don't make any such effort, they go it where they will. And actually I do mean increasing the oven surface area. I'm adding more glass (the surface material of the oven) an indirectly heating it by conduction to the exact same temperature as the oven walls (hopefully, if you give it...

It really doesn't matter so much the size, it's the shape that's the problem. No, the goal is not to keep it against the walls, it's already making maximum contact there, right? Can't improve on that unless we 'provide more wall surface'. That being the hot glass inside the load. Heat...

Not that I know of, but guys have tried glass spheres (beads). The material is OK IMO, although some will balk at SS, but the shape is exactly wrong. Worst possible for the job we have. We need to transfer heat through conduction between the glass and the load. Spheres are the smallest...

DV has none for sale, and are working on a substitute of their own. A custom, single piece, which should be easier to use but less effective (less contact). I ordered mine from Amazon, there are lots of sources suggested by Members in those posts (like LHS and EBay)..... For instance...

Yes, but there's some skill and understanding needed. You can also wreck it that way too. You have to be careful grinding glass. Glass is a funny material, actually a very very thick fluid. You can easily introduce tiny stress fractures by too aggressively ripping bits out with a too coarse...
