It had to happen sooner or later. Forget new batteries, I want some of that stash......... No, wait, maybe I don't? OF

You're welcome. If you don't have a stock Solo stem it's about five inches over all. Stood on end next to Air the Air comes about 1/3 up the bowl part above the partition. OF

Yes, depending on conditions, it can easily happen. The thing to watch is "duty cycle", the ratio of on time to off (or more exactly, percentage of on time to total cycle time. Fresh batteries might be on say 10 seconds and off for 15. 10 out of 25 seconds, 40%. Later, as the battery...

Howdy. Welcome to the Forum and all the fun. You're right, lots of good folks around, plenty of useful information and advice. Great resource, but only as good as those who contribute. I'm looking forward to your efforts there, I sense they too will be valuable. Great choice on Air, but I...

I hear ya there. I too didn't want to risk screwing up the deal trying to make it better. Fortunately, four replacement coils (which of course I never needed.....) got here in a short time. Amen on that one. 3 cheers for the unsung heroes around here, the Mods. In the end it's their...

Doob Tubes, hands down. I have half a dozen with different strains here on the desk bundled together with a rubber band. One fits in the pocket just fine. I also have a couple I cut off at the same length as the spare 18650, it fits in the other half of a dual battery box. OF

It seems it's a renamed version of this guy: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/imag-plus.15520/ My 'take' is it's still a work in process, unlike Air or Solo. Or MFLB. It could work out well in the end, but for now it reminds me of Pinnacle? I'd pass and stick with vapes with established...

Between other adventures I've had a chance to start trying Vape Dr's suggested mods. Being a 'one change at a time' kinda guy I started off bending the coil down (as soon as I got some replacement coils 'in case'). Instant success! Since the change I have not had a single combustion accident...

Aside from the otherwise excellent advice, I'd like to note the 'pretty new' part and point out it's much easier to learn to get excellent results our of Air (or it's parent, Solo). MFLB takes some skill to get on top of. When it comes to giving it to a newbie to vaping, Air (or Solo) gets the...

I might someday risk that or one of the other charges I have that I use for 18650s, but for now am 'keeping it between the ditches' by using the Air itself to keep my batteries charged. It's not really a big deal if you plan ahead. I accept that one of the risks I'll assume if/when I do so is...

Good question, IMO. The general answer is no. The maximum charge rate is set internally to what the maker considers a safe rate (in the case of Air that's about .8 Amps). Providing a source 'good for more' doesn't change that limit any more than plugging a 100 Watt desk lamp in the outlet...

Hard to say what the future will hold of course, but Micro USB is electrically just a different connector. You can use adapters to get whatever you want mechanically, but the same electrical issues will persist. If you are driven to use USB with this constraint, no need to wait or wish for...

If it's long enough still it can be successfully soldered back on the board if you're lucky/skillful enough. I know, because I broke one of mine off just messing with the four screws holding the assembly in which is why I've so strongly discouraged tinkering with those screws since then. No...

No, that was furnace cement. It was what was holding everything in the proper place, and should not have been disturbed for reasons I guess you see now. The fact it's cycling says the sensor itself is intact still, but no longer properly linked to the cup. No, it's not soldered, solder...

Is it actually cycling at 2? That is does the heat LED ever stop flashing? Yes, that's a true rumor, the two smaller wires lead to the sensor, the two larger ones the heater. If the bonding (cement or spot weld depending) is broken but the heater still cycles you might have some success...

You're welcome on both counts, although Brother CentiZen did the hard part for sure. IMO it's great he can get us performance/peace of mind for less bucks. Glad it was flat battery, it had the earmarks. But if you value that battery stop vaping right now and do the five hours. You've...

This might well be it. I'm not saying this is happening with ESV (I don't honestly know), but it's common in things like laptops, cell phones and tablets for the 'battery meter' to be "soft". That is the device keeps track and calls the highest charge it's ever seen as 100%. It's self...

Stay positive, maybe they'll go back down again before they're back in stock. I know it's kind of a lame way to look at it, but a few dollars for a stem that will hopefully have many many times that value in herb consumed in it's service life? That $3 increase is like what? One stem load? I...

Hard to say what's normal any more, and some would say I wouldn't recognize normal with a name tag and introduction anyway...... But a couple of guys have reported 'strange clicking sounds' before. AFAIK none of them was fatal, at least one fellow posted back it seemed to disappear on it's own...

I agree with you, nice as MFLB is there are probably better choices for routing, discrete heavy use. High tolerance can change the game totally I think. Perhaps something like Solo? Easier to cash out a load, and bigger loads? No gas/lighter issues, a battery charge covers you for 6 or 8...
