    Discontinued Vaporblunt 2.0 & VB 2.0 DLX

    I don't know, that "Faithful Companion" part sounds more like the Lone Ranger to me....... A Tonto kinda thing? Maybe they're going to offer a holster to go with it? Are we really supposed to think that Silver thing is an accident????? OF

    True enough, sometimes a scotch higher even. Notes I have here say I tested it from 10.1 to 15.0 Volts. I've not pushed it higher, but think it's plenty safe in cars as designed. OF

    Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by "normal car charger"? It's not really a charger, just a cord and fuse, unlike say a USB car charger. Any charger that is a "passthrough" (fuse only inside) will be fine as long as the connector is right for the Solo (the above part or equal with the...

    Hey! Maybe you can make us a video demonstrating those techniques???? JK of course, most of us don't really need help screwing up, but I couldn't pass up my chance to suggest someone go out of their way to make and post a video for my amusement....... Please don't do it. I think how far you...

    Pipes is, of course, right. But, be advised that there are other connectors that size that are too short. I ended up with some that are enough shorter than the EIAJ-2 spec part to prevent reliable contact. A minor movement of the cable can break the connection. The EIAJ part has worked for...

    Perhaps. First off, since the charge requirements and the car voltage line up (at 12 VDC) there's no need for any electronics. The usual car chargers have only a fuse inside. However, the connector on Solo is pretty uncommon. Radio Shack sells a mains charger (wall wart) that uses...

    As CK rightly says, ISO and salt is traditional. I even have a pair of rubber stoppers around here somewhere I used to use to cork up the ends so I could shake it. PITA, but it works.....sorta. The salt scrubs the stubborn stuff. Now I do it like all my other gear, soak it in PBW (Powdered...

    Makes perfect sense to me. Kind of a 'Russia had it first' thing? You know what they say, 'the conflicts in academia are so vicious precisely because the prize is so small'......... Or maybe everyone has a similar (or conflicting) rule and never bothered to tell me? Logically they'd like...

    Off hand, whoever uses the least letters. The leftovers can always be used later...... Didja know at Cambridge there's an actual committee that decides this stuff? They're the guys that finally decided a comma is required before the 'and' in "Dick, Jane, and Sally"? How'd ya like that job...

    You can't delete it. Edit to 'please delete' and then use the 'report key' to ask the Mods to delete the post, they alone can do that. OF

    Boy I heard that! You used to be able to tell by watching long enough to see which restroom they used.......but that doesn't work well any more, either. And guessing has other risks........ OF

    Thanks for an excellent (and obviously well thought through) review. Seems to me that if you remove stealth as a consideration the choice becomes very clear....... FWIW I think we're truly blessed with excellent choices and useful, objective guidance from our fellows. Is this a great Forum or...

    As opposed to "Stolen English" like we use. And we capitalize "English" when we're 'minding our Ps and Qs'........ We also spell "color" correctly (without a U). More over we teach our computer spell checkers to do the same........ OF

    Thanks very much for the additional feedback, I think we're mighty close. I purposely didn't get into a lot of detail about the adjustment, just to see what the Beta Testers would do with it. Several of them can counted on to fiddle....... So here's what I think is a useful reset. Back the...

    You've basically seen it. The SS cup with the four holes is cemented into a bigger cup made of the high temperature plastic the rest of the oven assembly is. The cement holds the heater element and sensor as well in the center between the holes. There's a small (say 1/16 inch?) gap between...

    Not yet. I'm still messing around with it (go figure). There are several Beta units (of two basic configurations) out, a couple of 'the usual suspects' have reported on them, other Beta Testers prefer to remain in the closet, two are not Forum Members. Reports are promising. A couple of guys...

    Glad to hear it, thanks for passing the good word. If you 'got there' in a few minutes you were mighty close before, once you get the marginal gear out of the game you can continue to enjoy the little guy. Best wishes. OF

    You're welcome. There's not really a 'perfect voltage' as much as 'plenty'? That is to say after you pass a point (seems between your two tests.....) you have enough to properly run the charging circuit. Any additional voltage (power) is simply dumped as heat up to the point where the circuit...

    How are you charging it? Charging is very marginal to start with, and even a tiny additional drop (loss) in voltage can be serious trouble. The rub is we want to charge to like 4.2 Volts, meaning we have only .8 Volts for 'headroom' to run the charge controller on. Marginal, at best...
