    The Arizer Air

    So you're seeing just what I am? FWIW, my S/N starts "A10Z"...... Maybe we do have a software change? Do I misunderstand, the 'battery level color code' is on the lower LED? I don't see anything there until heating starts. And that initial flash is green? Cool, all I see is abnormally...

    Arizer Solo

    It "charged just fine"? That is it was discharged some, flashed the light, stepped up to the top and went solid in a normal time frame? And it 'sees' the buttons well enough to turn on and change ranges? Sounds like the battery is OK (again, how has the history been?), the processor is...

    Actually I use the same (Vector) butane I use in Iolite. I bought a few cans and the lighters use a small fraction of what the Iolite uses so I just 'upgraded' when the Ronson butane ran out. I would not fear economy brands if I didn't have the good stuff on the shelf. Given the lighter is...

    I agree, avoid the cigar lighters, we want concentrated heat on the metal only.....we're not lighting a stogie bigger than a hot dog..... All the ones I know use 'clicker' ignitions and any torch is going to make some noise running due to the nature of the flame. This is my...

    The Arizer Air

    Interesting indeed. Different from what ONJ reports? Different order, different colors? ONJ doesn't see yellow but orange (yellow is not on the list of 'heat colors') and no white (which you're reporting 'out of the order used for heat levels'?). And the whole thing is basically 'upside...

    The Arizer Air

    This is normal. The lights are actually flashed at a fast rate (multiplexing going on), but your eye sees it 'all run together' like frames in a movie. Here's a test, wave the unit around in a dark place, the lights leave a trail of dots. It has to do with when exactly the phone 'snaps' the...

    The Arizer Air

    Thanks again, this is even stranger now. I get a bright flash followed by a blank with the normal blue idle flash following with the pattern as if the initial flash counted as the first on (although short in time). No indication at all of anything green, orange or red (I can see blue well...

    The Arizer Air

    So that really quick, abnormally bright flash is the reading? Come on Arizer, how about making it long enough to check out? And it uses the same 'scale' as heat? 3 levels: Green to orange to red? Come on Arizer, why only 3? And, of course my usual gripe with this color coding BS. It's...

    Of course, I was just pointing out there is no absolute answer.....as often is assumed? It's a relative one. OF

    The answer is quite simple: Try both. What works best for me isn't necessarily good for you. OF

    The Arizer Air

    The Lady meant to say the up key (which is the left one on Solo). If it's off, you get a confirmation beep, if it's on you get confirmation silence....... Yeah, I know, but that's how it works. OF

    The Arizer Air

    You're talking about the bright, short flash at start up? I sure can't read anything useful there, do folks with normal color vision? This changes our collective understanding of Air I think? Yes beep on and off with up arrow and 'last level recall' with down work as with Solo (although I...

    The Arizer Air

    Yes, Solo flashes the battery level using the seven LEDs for heat steps. There was some talk about a color coded indication at power up on Air, but those claims all faded when specific details were sought? Does anyone think this (battery charge indication) is a feature on Air.....and will you...

    The Arizer Air

    My guess is that's normal. It goes back to standby expecting you to eventually start another session? I'm sure it's charging in the background still, but since I don't use it that way that's an 'educated guess'. As a test, unplug it and plug it back in, I bet it goes to charging? OF

    The Arizer Air

    I think you'll find you ordered a longer (about half an inch) version of the short stem you now have. Very useful IMO, the bowl size is bigger than the short stem you now have, like the longer one? Sorry, being color blind I can't help with colors but that doesn't sound right to me. You...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Yep, ya broke the code all right. Fine grind and well cured are keys to the castle for sure, add fresh batteries and you've got smooth sailing ahead. Glad you came back to the humble box.....I bet you stick with it. Thanks for the post. I think it depends on how much you use it. I don't...

    Nonsense, not funny at all. Just two gentlemen of discerning taste comparing notes....... It happens all the time.......but not often enough. Now that I find funny. OF

    Arizer Solo

    Not impossible, but daunting. Not for the timid...... As I said, one problem at a time for me. OK, for now let's assume it has to do with the bud change. On to the (IMO) separate problem of actually functioning........ How was the battery life before the trouble popped up? Was it slowly...

    The Arizer Air

    Yes, you can discharge the Air far enough to hit cutoff, try it and see. I can't speak to colors, but there is a real cutoff. It's about 55 minutes out from 'full', give or take. At that point you need several minutes on charge to get going again. It takes about 2050 mAh of charger current to...

    Arizer Solo

    For sure, I'm a 'one problem at a time' kinda guy. If I understand the abnormal vapor/ABV came first? The second smacks of battery failure to me, a PA would be a good test if possible. OF
