Agreed, 'general consensus' is probably the best one could hope, "all agree" is way past that. I get how hard it is to hold off a few more hours, more so looking at it sitting there, but I think the alternative involves the chance of second guessing yourself over and over and over. Every time...

One interesting thing I've found playing with mine: it's built in charger seems to terminate higher than normal. I'd checked a time or two before but realized I don't take the battery out and measure it right away, I did some minor 'starts and stops' first. So I started watching. It seems to...

I think 'all agree' is an impossible standard, and the advantage would be very hard to prove. It exists in theory and is most useful in multi cell batteries like Solo. It's common, for example, in 'car batteries' (lead/acid). "Equalizing charges" are also common in serious R/C stuff, like...

No doubt just after they get them. Which comes after release to distributors, which happens in January we're told. Soon on the calendar, but a long time if yer Jonesin' for sure. FWIW I don't expect to see great prices anytime soon as long as the pent up demand is there? Too bad you missed...

I suspect the difference is between a new and 'run out' battery more than the type. A 'frog in a pan of water' deal let it slowly degraded over time without your notice. Not to detract from Centizen's battery it doesn't deliver more power than other types as much as will do so longer between...

I had the same sort of problem before I changed my technique. Now I just firmly mash the entire button down and wait for an abnormally bright, brief (white?) flash. This happens before the beep (if enabled) which is more quiet than Solo so I can't reliably hear it in all conditions. You can...

Thanks very much for the feedback. It's reports like this that reminds a guy (or gal...) how important it is helping the new friends get up to speed. Ten seconds? Hardly worth mentioning...... Welcome to the club! I'm looking forward to more stories as you explore the Solo, as you've...

Interesting idea. I'd be a little concerned closing and more importantly opening the door. If that screen got caught up in the seal area it's gonna win against the rubber? OF

Me too. It's always safest to let Ataxian have his way........ OF

Understood, but IMO it's a long standing controversy (much like 'global warming'?). Far from 'settled science' in fact IMO discounted by those seriously looking into it: http://www.alz.org/alzheimers_disease_myths_about_alzheimers.asp It all started with researchers injecting Aluminum salts...

Glad to amuse and otherwise entertain if I can't inform. I was once characterized as 'useless trivia is one of the many things he's full of....'. "Garbage mind" was I think in there somewhere. I was younger then. Thanks very much for the kind words, but you might have noticed a lot of...

I would not worry personally, for the reasoning above (the surface 'heals up' at the atomic level). But then again, I'm not upset by the dark spots in mine. Some guys report success with 'magic eraser' (white I believe?). I'd stay away from abrasives. OF

Beats me. AFAIK they read and post here, but like everyone else can decide what they wish to respond to. No invitation needed. To be frank, though, my advice to them (based on experience in other threads) would be to avoid it. There are too many folks with axes to grind, and too many flat...

Glad you're having fun, I really like the PD. But I'd be careful here, you're running it at 50% (actually 54%) more power than it was designed for, it's running hotter than intended. PDs are known to eventually 'wear out' as the wood dry and degrades slowly from the normal heat, taking many...

There is no aluminum near any heated air here that I can see. And even if there was, I'm not sure I'd be worried at the temperatures we're talking about here. I'm sure not afraid of the Thanksgiving turkey cooked in an aluminum pan under aluminum foil. Chemically there's actually no Aluminum...

Ignoring the detail that Aluminum is a metal (at least was when I went to school.....) that's pretty much it. Air gets in between the stem and cup or up through the bottom of the cup, into the load inside the bottom of the glass stem. The special Air tubes have plastic tips exposed to (much...

Good call. The decision to buy your first Solo is hardest for sure. After finding out how good they are the idea of buying a backup Solo rather than some lesser vape is obvious and easy choice to make....... Regards, OF

Excellent. I think we're in agreement, or nearly so. The safe call is heed the maker's advice. Through personal intuitive as time goes on we'll be able to assess relative safeties of other cells (and chargers?), as we collectively gain experience/understanding. That's cool, of course, but I...

Most of us (probably) got them from Planet Vape (who's site seems to be "down" right now). Be careful, there are some shops trying to steal customers with similar names cropping up, the one you want is in Canada and sells "Planet Vape High Efficiency Stems" (AKA PVHES). Hot rodded stems for...

I trust all sorts of sources, I just don't support ignoring safety warnings from manufacturers and voiding warranties. I believe most here feel the same 'better safe than sorry' recommendation is best. I think folks are free to take whatever risks or otherwise do what they want with stuff they...
