I hear ya, that extension cord can be a real hassle. Kinda limits your travels and all? Kind of fun how Solo makes an OK corded vape but the corded vapes can't make it to the front door usually.......
Enjoy the Solo, with the stem of your choice, of course. Nice to have those options, too.

Thanks, lots of good information there, hopefully pretty solid. It fits in with what we've been talking about. I suspect that the 1 or 2 hits gets away from heat buildup as well. I'm not sure you can go from sessions (or any size) per charge estimates to the assumption you can pack as much in...
You're welcome.
I'm with ya there, hard to argue with what's working well........
Enjoy your Solo, top choice IMO. No home is complete without one. Ataxian's house needs two, and a LOT of grass.......

Boy I'm with ya there on the 'bunch of' characterization. Quite the list, seems you've been paying a lot of attention or took good notes....... It'll be very interesting, I think, to see what they have to say about the things on that list. FWIW I don't think they'll respond to some of them...
No, if you have to push to top (like clicking a pen) to start the heating cycle. That's as close to a fact as we have from them I think.
You certainly don't think there's enough battery in there to keep it at 400F for 3 hours, right? Come to think of it, that's about what they claimed now...
I really don't think they'll be able to sell that one. Few I think would consider it sitting on the table between hits as being used. Most would consider it being used when it's doing it's intended job, making vapor. Most would consider it sitting there cold and dark to not count, unlike Sony...
Do you really think that's the same thing? Even close?
I bet Sony can demonstrate 30 hours (or close to it) but doing the things you're not and not doing the ones you are. As you say, your usage decisions are eating up the batteries.
Do you think GH will be able to demonstrate 3 hours? How...
This is a common problem with newly filled lighters. Lots of things can contribute (difference in gas used, residual air, etc.).
The best solution is to turn the feed valve down usually. It's almost certainly built around the fill valve, do you see a sleeve with a couple of 'screwdriver...
Welcome to the Fun, I'm with the rest, great first choice! Just think of all those lesser vapes you won't have cluttering up the joint gathering dust?
Congratulations.

More than I think. I make ESV at one cc, Solo 1.5. You might load as much as .20 grams in a Solo, loading over about .10 in ESV is sucking around for combustion if you're not careful. And even that takes care. Stirring is mandatory in ESV, unlike Solo (which can vape intact budlets). Don't...
If you don't have a better plan, that can well happen. IMO you really need to take responsibility for getting there early and in sound shape if you want to enjoy yourself. Working for family is fine and all, but this is a 'take care of number one' deal as well I think. For instance, get a...
Interesting idea, but don't you find it increases the draw resistance? Normally a lot of air is drawn down next to the stem, past the seal where it turns at right angles to slip through the slot over the top of the cup (now blocked?) to enter the heated areas. Now you're down to the air that...
Bummer, but could have been far worse. Congratulations to you both for having survived, still standing and with another good story to tell.

You really have to plan these things out carefully if you want them to work out well.
For instance if you'd have taken my advice and retired you could be waiting at home when it gets there, no needless delays. Retirement has other advantages, too. You've really no idea how much work can cut...
I agree, it's an impressive vape all right. And you're not imagining anything with the uneven heating, it's been pretty widely discussed. IMO it has to do with the cut in the oven floor (actually the roof since it runs upside down.....) being off center. This means the back half of the coil...
Thanks for the update. About to 'dive in'? Cool.
If we don't hear from you for a while, we'll know why.
Good luck. Explore different techniques, follow the results you like.

Better learn to deal with disappointment then........
But I don't think we should be giving guys that expectation? Much as we might wish otherwise, it's not part of the design and I don't think guys expecting it is a good thing. Do you?
OF
Yes, perfectly normal.
Same as your home heater runs longer to heat up a cold house than the same house started warmer or heated to a lower temperature. After that the heater has to come on from time to time to make up the heat lost. Try blowing into the empty cup, you'll see the heating...
