My mistake. When you said: I assumed he didn't want plastic involved with the making vapor part. As I believe everyone (including you) understood. By your new, expanded, definition seems to me that all the stem vapes have plastic somewhere? Like power cords and housings. So that...

Well I thought that might be the case before I ran careful temperature measurements inside the load that showed without airflow the heat in the load never gets hot enough. I reported those tests there. Experience using it also confirms this. And you might want to check your 'facts' again...

But actually it is to a large extent convection (I've done measurements that demonstrate that factor) and it's definitely praised for efficiency. I assume you don't have one? Or read that Forum? We discuss these points a fair bit there. I disagree, the stem use is a linking factor. The stem...

I'm with you and CK here, IMO very similar. In both design and function. No, it's a serious comparison I think. Both are stem vapes, as is Hammer. Solo holds a bigger load for more hits before reloading and offers better temperature control perhaps, but they are, I think very similar...

Yes. It's a 'universal mains Switcher' 100-240 Volts, 50/60 Cycles. The most you'd need is a mechanical adapter. Enjoy your DV, neat vape for sure. OF

Sorry you're having troubles. Unfortunately detailed instructions are pretty rare in this industry, for a number of reasons. Right or wrongly I think they may have assumed most understand that water damages wood (unless it's Teak I guess?). Same as it would a wood table. Caution is advised...

Yes, it's OK to pack more loosely. You can even use intact buds. Touching the cup with herb is not the end of the world, although purists avoid it. In theory the cup is no hotter than the air entering the bottom anyway. 40F should be fine for storage of the components used. I would not...

Yes, that's what I said. OF

Actually I think the real reason 'nobody takes them to task' on this is because it's the Industry Standard way of doing it. Notice the testing at the bottom, different from the 'continuous discharge' data above it: http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/E92.pdf This technique takes 'recovery' into...

No, the diameter is smaller and the holes in the glass plates smaller like the plastic top stems. It's basically a new design, a modification on the new (plastic top) stems it seems. I have the feeling it's an 'on the fly' change, I wonder if it's in response to a rash of broken stems? OF

Hey Guys, check this out: The new Air I ordered for the Brother-in-Law got here today, or rather yesterday, and I decided to open it up and make sure everything was OK (and charge the batteries). That's what seems to be replacing the longer of the two 'screw top stems'. That is it was...

How about the Teak? I'm very happy with mine, very pretty and a wood you basically 'never see' used as a pipe? OF

That should work for an old model, but it won't work on a new one. The new version does not run (true) PA, instead it 'charges while heating'. Save your money. OF

It should work with older models, after you change the plug of course. You want the "4.0mm x 1.7mm" connector they otherwise offer really. There are adapters or you can cut the cable if you can't buy direct. However, and this is important, it'll only work with older Solos. Those in the last...

You're not seriously suggesting overworked Customs clerks get in the business of interpreting patent law and holding up potentially legal shipments are you? That's what courts are for, right? Same as domestic manufacture. OF

Beats me, I can't see it from here..... Perhaps there's a button lock on it? A safety. I have a bunch that have that feature involving a knurled ring just under the button?? CCW turns it off IIRC. OF

More over, given it's age, the 'holds a charge' (battery condition) is not a mission critical factor as it can still be run in (real) PA mode. Finding a supply (7 to 9 Volts, 2.5 Amps or more) locally should not be a serious problem as you can always do what I did when I first got my first Solo...

You missed my favorite two parts, it's not only a very fun (and effective/efficient) vape, but it's got a great 'steam punk' thing going with wood, metal, mica and so on. Genuine Swiss made, very 'tick-tock' sort of people. Nice to know they make more than foil wrapped candy that looks like...

Yup, very common and to be expected. When you consider the taste part it the first to 'come off' a new load, it makes sense it's the first to condense out of the vapor and get trapped......at least it does to me. There's a difference between large bubbles (lots of volume for the surface) and...

Excellent policy, IMO. I learned it washing dishes early on. As children, we were dishwashers long before we saw Maytag and Kitchen Aid horn in on that little chore of life. No doubt those who grew up with the common appliance (or otherwise avoided 'dish pan hands') have to learn the lesson...
