    The Grasshopper

    In a word, "experience". While modest performance might be fine with some in some/many cases, or collective experience with vapes used for sessions says this is not likely to meet others expectations. Notice the responses. IMO it's unlikely to be very popular for loading up and enjoying...

    The Grasshopper

    Wasn't that Winston Smith's job in "1894"? Correcting the errors in history? "He who controls the past, controls the future". Huxley seems to have called it clean. Scary. Then again, from what I was reading, the Global Warming guys are busy at just that right now....... I plan to take it...

    Bummer. FWIW the Cera o-ring is close. It's 3/4 inch OD but the cord is too narrow. Ironically the 015 rings to fit the new style Solo (with thick caps) is a pretty good fit. Looser than the factory ring (metric?) but I think OK for most......you might start there? Good luck. Either, but...

    The Grasshopper

    Anything is possible, but the claims were made a long time back, several YO tech by now at least? Great secret to keep that long........ If possible, why mess with vapes? Make amazing batteries and get filthy rich instead........ My money's on no show. OF

    The Arizer Air

    Careful here, lad. Air needs unprotected cells, protected ones are exactly wrong.....even if they do fit. I get it the official ones are hard to get, but how many do you need? Perhaps buying one or two with the unit will cover it? The cover is no doubt a custom molded part (different from...

    You need a tool. You can make one like mine very easily from a safety pin. Heat the tip glowing red with your torch type lighter and bend it at right angles for the last 1/16 inch or so. A tiny square hook. You can 'cold form' the steel, or at least try, but it's usually pretty brittle...

    The Grasshopper

    I agree, they were most like doomed from the start, but that's not what they believed. This thread clearly shows that. Reality update and all that. I agree it's a bad estimate (ignoring how it got there), but I think '45 minutes to an hour' heating time is also unrealistic. By a factor of...

    Arizer Solo

    That's a lot of cleaning, how do you do it? Have you tried PBW? What did you think of it? TIA OF

    Actually, I think they do. Such things, like most of life, are compromises. You play off capacity, peak power capacity, safety, battery life and so on against each other. Gain in one area means compromise in others. Same as the car analogy, bigger engines go with lower fuel economy. If you...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Good point. But to bring in a pet peeve of mine, that's about the same percentage as color blind guys in a world of 'color coded' vape functions that demand the owner be able to see the difference between red and green......the most common form of color blindness. And while you can, with some...

    Arizer Solo

    Are you sure you want to be known as one of Ataxian's friends? He breaks stuff you know. And hangs around elementary schools.........or so I hear. OF

    You're welcome. You gotta put them electrons in before you use them, no credit....... Thanks for passing the good word, easy fix. FWIW I think the indicator light still works just the heater is cut off? I got light but on hot at the bottom of charge as well. Others have reported their...

    The Arizer Air

    While in general that's the case (difficult to gauge the real voltage (at rest) when it's under load on one hand (discharging) and also charging. Some special devices are designed to compensate for this, I suspect Air is one of them. FWIW I don't do this on either Air or Solo (same feature...

    The Grasshopper

    Yep. And we're not alone in that experience. That is what got me to question all this at the start. Convection is generally very expensive power wise. The claims just didn't fit the real experiences we have with other vapes. And please remember I inadvertently set off this firestorm by...

    Understood. How about a breakthrough technology......Solar power! Maybe we can even get some Obama bucks for R&D? We could also make an accessory battery powered 'solar simulator' light source for us at night on cloudy days. Probably need a trailer to haul that..... OF

    Cool. Their torch should do fine (of course). Oil rig ones are likely a lot of overkill. It really is small and those are your fingers holding onto the outside..... Enjoy it. Remember, don't be too shy with the heat. Explore more. OF

    The Grasshopper

    I don't expect it to do well compared to Solo, for sure not exceed it. You sound like an example of a poor fit I think. Others should find a better fit, hopefully. Sadly I agree with you, concentrates can have a bigger power demand. Fortunately there are some good conduction based...
