While that might be true of their stand alone charger (I don't think we have any first hand reports there, certainly not in depth/high tech ones?) we do have our very own CentiZen who did a lot of research and testing on the factory battery and reports it's actually a quite exceptional IMR...

My guess (I can't guarantee anything of course) is they'll give you a pass on missing hardware not related to the problem. Every place I've ever worked at had similar problems. They want protection from tampering and well intentioned damage in the end. IMO taking a screw out doesn't violate...

Thanks, but that's not what I asked. What is the specification of the micro USB port that an owner is likely to have (say on his handy laptop)? The answer, which they too no doubt know, is it can be well under 800mA and still be in spec. Meaning innocent owners will get slow charging, a...

As an EE I'm surprised you'd make a statement like that. What's the specification for maximum current on that USB port? No, Solo uses two internally (can't be easily changed), Air uses a very special (single) 18650. OF

Of course, defective cables don't count. But that's not the topic here, really? Actually it's most likely the step down transformer. The charger supplied is fine with 230 in (note your post above about the nameplate) once the mechanical issue with the plug if sorted out. Yes, you should...

You can probably use other cables, but there is a potential downside. The factory one is short for a reason, it better supports the potential very fast charge rate of the ESV. Mine runs a bit over an Amp if I let it. Top to bottom charge is an hour. Simply using a 'high power' USB port (good...

But 3 is an odd number. You're no longer balanced....... Best solution is to order a fourth I think. Maybe a silver one this time? Bummer. I'm with the Lady, sounds like it time for a trip to the shop. I hope you have a backup. Maybe the friend who dropped it can loan you his vape if you...

The third statement above seems to conflict with the first. Didn't they answer your question (tell you why they didn't use the connector you think they should have? What did they try to sell you then? BTW, I suggest you don't ask if others think they're correct there (use of USB posts would...

That would be this one: I posted it so folks could see there was noting to be gained from disassembly. Two very tiny self threading screws (to loose or strip out) and nothing to be had really. And I had to rework the SS cover to get it back on (it had a burr that prevented it, took a half...

Glad you like 'em. I agree, they're so very much better than normal screens (or none at all) that a dollar is chump change. However, i think we should tone down the 'what a fantastic suggestion Sinclue made' bit, I mean he might hear about it and we all understand where that might lead........ OF

That could never have been the case, where GH sits idling at temperature waiting to deliver instant hits. The outside would become too hot to handle in short order no matter how nifty the insulation you put in that tiny space. IMO it has to be a 'call for each hit' deal. You press the button...

Doesn't that depend on what your definition of is is (to quote another marketing genius)? They could, for instance, point out they're still selling well two years later in a market filled with 'has beens'. They've lasted two years and haven't even made their first unit! I see that as a great...

It's called 'time telescoping' I think. Experience shows having another good vape or two to keep you company only blunts it some, strange that. Watched pot never flowers, either. Thanks for the excellent 'take care' advice. I'll get back to working on just that now if you'll excuse me? OF

Amen to that. This is an industry of long explored trade offs. Hard to be at the top of the cloud production list at the same time as herb economy. Long battery life and small size are generally not found together. It's tough to see it being competitive milking a big old bubbler or blowing...

Great. Minor correction though: You just ordered your first one..... Regards. The wait will pass, slowly no doubt, but it will. OF

Good information, thanks for passing it on. Let's be clear, however, the temperature increase above is the temperature of electronics and battery, not the load. This is a closed loop system any increase in insulation is compensated for by using less heating power. OF

Great reference, G. Thanks. I think the bit of interest is specific energy (how much power per pound), about mid way on the chart. Li-ions having a 20 to 40 times advantage. A slightly more accurate guide would be 'energy density', how much power per cubic foot. It'd also be more festive if...

Combustion has two factors of interest I think. First is it's chemical reactions, atoms changing partners, usually "exothermic", that is giving up heat. In some combustions individual reactions can be "endothermic" as I recall, but they are short lived. The major reactions involve oxygen...

I honestly don't know, but seriously doubt it. I lost interest in them at least a generation back by now..... Here's the deal with capacitors. You put in (or draw out) an amp from a one Farad capacitor for one second you charge or discharge it by a volt. That's the definition of the Farad...

I prefer to think of it as an informed discussion of the information we've been given. The whole idea of discussing is to get the bad guesses out of the way. A kind of scientific look at the data, subject to peer review by a truly mixed set of peers. For sure facts would be better, we'd...
