    I think that's a fair statement, and the risk to individuals small. But IMO it's a HUGE risk to the company. One the officers/board of an established would never accept? If it goes really bad and the company has to stand the costs of free replacements it can easily bankrupt them. It happens...

    I don't believe that's a gamble at all really. Others have reported buying them from Amazon, but it's not cheaper than list price? I thought that's what you wanted?? I've no idea about the car charger (actually a pretty simple thing, cord, connectors and a fuse....), but the wall charger is...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    It certainly was. At least for me. I still keep the one I bought with my first post school paycheck (a lot of years back). Even though I haven't smoked anything it's just too dear a friend to part with. OF

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I see noting to apologize for I guess. I think it's a vape optimized for herb, at which it does a bang up job. It's not very good with concentrates as most find, but it's not a total bust. That is I think 'dual use' wasn't part of the deal, I'm sorry if you bought it with the mistaken idea...

    The Arizer Air

    No, it's a similar but very new product. It's a different material and appears to be injection molded rather than dip molded like the high temperature vinyl ones are. Dip molded parts have poorly defined lips (since it's where the goo stopped on the shaft), have irregular sides (due to the...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Yep, and not to forget freshly charged good quality batteries. I think MFLB has a charm, a work of art of sorts, much like Vapman (another personal favorite). For instance, made of plastic or ceramic it would not be as nice as wood I think. Adds character and makes each unique in a small...

    No, when I'm speculating I clearly indicate it, or at least try to. I'm making statements I fully intend to back up if asked. As close to fact as I know. On what do you base the claim off gassing is a health issue? This has been discussed at length, and I just mentioned it above, in the man...

    Exactly so, it's cement, not corrosion. The corrosion you fear is soft and powdery (not rock hard). Entirely different. Care to rethink that "It's sort of ridiculous how poor this industries safety standards are considering it's for health" charge? Amen. I sure hope nobody follows that bad...

    The Arizer Air

    If you think about it a bit you should see how using it plugged after it's fully charged means the battery ends up fully charged again? The goal is to not do that. Your call. OF

    You say that like you think the temperature range used is a mistake (or an oversight)???? OF

    The Arizer Air

    Yep. It's a complex thing, for sure, but not charging all the way to the top as well as discharging down a ways before recharging will give longer battery life. Avoiding the top 10% of the charge can double your battery life. Double. A second 'step' (avoiding the top 20% can double it...

    Does it cause any problems? I generally buy such things to use, not look at, but can understand how some folks like things perfect..... If you are not satisfied with it, PV is known for fixing that.....I'm sure they'll take care of you. OF

    The Arizer Air

    Actually no. You want to spend as little time as possible at 100% charge for maximum battery life. Li-ions come shipped at partial charge for this very reason. Storage should be done at about 60 or 70%. 'Leaving it plugged in so it's always fully charged and ready to go' is convenient, but...

    The Arizer Air

    Yes, we've discussed this several times. The supply provides less than half the total power needed on average, it needs at least a partially charged, working battery. From dead I think you need something like 6 or 7 minutes of recharging before you can complete a single session (and you'll be...

    Arizer Solo

    Due to the 'strange' connector EIAJ-02 (actually being used outside it's normal voltage rating), there are few options. No 'normal maker' will provide that connector on a supply over 6.3 Volts for fear of wrecking something. Pipes can sell you an adapter so the more standard 5.5 X 2.1mm...

    Wow, thanks for the kind words. I'm not sure that's a given, more like I've done a lot and not forgotten it all? "Repeat the stuff that works". OTOH, it may show that we're simply two of the guys Barnham was referring to........ Thanks again. OF

    While I don't think it's unavoidable to have troubles 'out of the chute', it's extremely rare not to for sure. Even for established companies with solid track records. Even a 'minor change' to existing models can be fought with peril. This understanding is the reason traditional product...

    When available, they're on the "Last call" page: http://www.puffitup.com/category-s/69.htm They seem to come every few months and typically sell out very very fast. It'll probably be a while before the next batch (maybe not....), you gotta stay sharp and ready to jump on it. OF

    The Arizer Air

    It was a Holiday yesterday. That has a 'ripple effect' that can stall out the whole machine. I 'lost' two packages in this same time frame. Based on my experience it's entirely possible it's moving without scans, I'm expecting the package that never left Buffalo NY ('label printed' Thursday...

    I sure don't recall such a report, does anyone else? White powder makes aluminum oxide come to mind. What is corroding? I assume it's confined to the threads around the cap/body junction? The only other possibility I can think of is venting of the battery, something I'm sure you'd notice in...
