    Discontinued Elevape SV

    I disagree, I have to pay tax on the retail price, I was charged tax on the full amount (not what I paid). It's what happened, not what I was responsible for? Now maybe the rules have changed (I seriously doubt it) but back when I was responsible for setting up the charges for service you...

    Discontinued Elevape SV

    Thanks for FC advice I too am taking advantage of the half price deal, but for those of you living in California be advised some glitch in the software bills you for the full sales tax (before discount, not sale price as required by law). This means an additional $15 or so expense ($30 sales...

    Arizer Solo

    It is definitely "a no-no" don't do it. You can easily break the fine wires underneath it (want to guess how I know this?). If it was mine I'd put it top down on a towel (cap off) for a few days in a warm place. Probably laying it on it's side after a day or so on it's head (hoping any liquid...

    The Arizer Air

    I'm sure it does, it's a simple mechanical problem, no electronics involved. But understand he didn't find a single cable to do the job, he bought two different ones, cut them in half and spliced them together (notice the size and color change each side of the tape in the middle). Good...

    Arizer Solo

    Yep. That was the idea all right. With a tweak or two it seems to work the same way for Air, Ascent, Pinnacle, VB2 and no doubt other similar ones I haven't tried it with. FWIW I like the faster recharge times as well. Thanks. OF

    The Arizer Air

    Good question, and right on both counts. Inside Air is a charging controller that reduces the current to a controlled level (a bit under one Amp) until the battery charge gets close to that 4.2 Volts, when it limits the current supplied to still stay under that voltage. When that current gets...

    Great to hear, thanks for passing the good word. OF Edit: While on the general topic of USB charging our new found favorite vape, let me suggest you consider one of these...

    The Arizer Air

    Thanks, I should have stated it better, I have a tough time finding relevant and credible safety concerns? The question is 'has Arizer built a safe system for us to use? Right? That is using their circuit and their battery is it safe to not watch it charge. Can this be done. By all means...

    The Arizer Air

    Thus far it's doing just fine. I've tried it on two such power banks so far, one of which sagged down to something like 4.7 Volts and slowed up the charging a bit, the other it's own just fine (basically the same as mains powered). You don't need 2.1 Amps, or even the 1.2 the factory charger...

    The Arizer Air

    Actually, I'm having some trouble finding such warning about unattended charging. It's not in the manual for one of my external chargers (a fairly well respected one): http://www.all-battery.com/datasheet/01270_manual.pdf Nor can I find any such warning in amongst the danger discussions at...

    The Arizer Air

    First off, howdy! Welcome to the Forum and all the fun. Great choice with the Air, a much bigger 'leap of faith' for those of you who have to import them. We Yanks are lucky indeed to live 'next door' to the maker across a very casual (from a customs POV) border. Air is already showing up in...

    The Arizer Air

    I'm with you there. External chargers chosen at random (and likewise for batteries) are perhaps another case, but I too have confidence in Arizer's ability to build a safe charger. For sure there are a LOT of Solos out there that haven't melted down. I'm big on being safe, as I think...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Yes, that's a good plan. I'm on record, in considerable detail, on this in several threads. Avoid heat and the top and bottom of the range. Store at about 75% charge. Try this on for size: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries You're right, of...

    Not that I recall, can you be more specific? TIA OF

    The Magic-Flight Box

    That's probably too fast. Experience/skills with another vape aren't always a useful guide with the next. In fact it can become kind of a trap. In this case, Solo has a very much larger mass of hot stuff to draw on. Heat built up ahead of time, over several minutes. MFLB, OTOH, heats a very...

    The Arizer Air

    Why would I? Because that's the agreement I bought it under. I'm not forced to buy their charger, it works fine without it, an external charger is for my convenience. Yes, seriously. I agreed to it, and value honesty. Each guy gets his on call on it I guess, but that's mine and why. OF

    VaporGenie

    Not any more. Even though I like that one a lot better, since trying the torch idea it mostly lights candles these days. I doubt I've filled it twice in the last year. That used to be at least weekly. To me, the torch is just much easier to control the heat with, and it works better in the...

    The Arizer Air

    While there are some (often strongly expressed) opinions, I think nobody knows. Many think they do, evidently, but we've been specifically warned by Arizer not to substitute (either battery or charger) for undefined 'safety reasons'. It will also violate the warranty, although some expressed a...

    IMO very much so. It's much easier to control the heat with a torch. Try both, you can always use the hemp wick for tying up plants or something....... OF
