    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I agree, tough call, but I sure wouldn't suggest inhaling any more either. I think it's worth a try to 'burn it off', just don't hit it in the process. I'm thinking maybe put a piece of paper towel or cotton in the bowl and use that and a stick to quickly 'wipe the walls' while hot a few...

    Arizer Solo

    Check your fire! Check your fire! Home heater. Not theater, much different....... The point is home heaters, ovens and so on are temperature regulated, as is Solo. So called "closed loop systems" where the output is sampled and compared to an ideal and the error used to control the process...

    Arizer Solo

    Yep, normal (or near enough). I typically get two 'sessions' out of the first step. The top step (7) is wider than the rest, I'd expect a 5 after the next run, then 4 and so on. IMO time to enjoy....... Regards, Howdy, welcome to the Forum, sorry you're having troubles, lousy way to meet a...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I was afraid of this. Those are "crackle beads", glass that's been shocked (thermally) to break it up. The ones I've seen are overcoated with plastic (?) of some sort, I assume to keep them from chipping or falling apart (not good to release glass shards around the necks of women who could...

    The Arizer Air

    Good point. I assumed (yeah, I know....) since the OP had gone out to get a meter it was a modern low end digital one (which is why I went with generic instructions). If so, no problem since we don't care about polarity (which has to be 'right'), only magnitude. If it's not the common 3.5...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Bummer. As the old troubleshooting joke goes, 'what was the last thing you did before the lights went out?'. Seems like the beads? Please tell us about them. I'm thinking something evaporated off them and is still there to some level and 'comes out' when hot? Anyway, what's the story with...

    Arizer Solo

    That seems faster than normal, but not alarmingly so. How does it do discharging? The baseline test I use is to fully charge, then do back to back step 7 runs with the top open and no stem. I such 'sessions' per charge is a good number here. The idea here is to remove the variables as much...

    Arizer Solo

    No, the charge rate is set internally. Charge away. Not really alarming. Serious hitting at high temperatures takes power to keep up. Sipping I get about 'a level per session' at 4 usually. Two sometimes. It (the levels) is pretty "granular", that is there are only 7 steps and you're...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    It might well help strain from killing the cable up close as they tend to do, but it also looks like the end lacks any protection? That is just moving the problem out 3/4 inch or so? OTOH it also looks like it might be a stop which would be nice since you're pressing on the end? OF

    I hear that. And on tough days you can lock the door, turn off the phone, put some soft music on and take one in each hand........ OF

    The Arizer Air

    I've got the feeling you'd do a better job. I'll give it a weak C..... I sure am glad I got my Air before reading it. Guy loves the FF? I've never tried, but understand the taste is not a strong point??? That decided the issue, I hope I didn't misunderstand...... Still, you know what they...

    Arizer Solo

    Reminds me of Freewheelin' Franklin's epic insight, "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope". Words to live by. OF

    Arizer Solo

    One Solo is not really necessary, but having a backup is comforting I think. I'd sure hate to get caught without one and I have lots of alternative vapes to fall back on. Another plus is you can loan them to others to try out. I've had 2 out on lone at the same time I was using the third...

    Please help an absolute newbie decide on first dry herb vape?

    Not really. Since the temperature determines the vapor content, vapes with similar temperatures give similar vapor. A plus on vapes like Solo (as opposed to stem vapes) is this is adjustable (some like to cool it down for more flavor and different 'stone' profile, others want to crank it up...

    Arizer Solo

    Your recourse rests solely with PIU, Arizer doesn't want to know you I'm sure. The good news is that means Randy is there. Within reason I'd feel confident of support within his 'we want you to be happy' policy. He gets to decide what that means in the end I guess, but consider his history...

    Please help an absolute newbie decide on first dry herb vape?

    Good point, sorry I didn't rate it as a specific suggestion I guess. Although it was one of several. Then let me second Pak's suggestion and give some supporting rationale? OF

    making Hash Oil with no solvents

    Thinking a bit more about this it occurs to me that another useful and easy to make and use condenser might be based on the water cooled condenser we recall from Chemistry class? That is route the vapor output down a long glass tube, angled down a bit. The tube will naturally be hotter at the...

    Please help an absolute newbie decide on first dry herb vape?

    Since nobody's mentioned Solo, let me suggest that then? HUGE following on that thread (always a good sign.....). Very simple and easy to use (big plus for newbies), easy to keep clean, on the short list for 'best tasting vape' (all glass vapor path), good portability/battery life and as the...

    The Arizer Air

    OK, let's see if generic instructions will work, otherwise we'll need a link (or more information) on the model you have. Plug the red and black leads into the ground and common jacks (avoid the one that says '10 ADC' or similar). Color is not really important at this point. Turn it on and...

    The Arizer Air

    Thanks, and welcome to the Forum. This is kinda 'old news' it made the rounds here just in time for Christmas (a couple days before you joined?): http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-arizer-air.16415/page-60#post-711091 I suspect the comments after that still apply. OF
