Great story! I suspect something entirely different is in play, the speed of 'uptake' (how fast it gets into your blood). Just like THC, in vapor form it can enter the blood directly, it's 'there' in seconds. Complete with a rush due to the rate. Consider an average eatable dose, say 40mg of...

I agree, the 'ask FC' thread seems more appropriate and would get a wider audience there? That said, if the OP likes his Extreme Q (which it seems he does) the Solo is an obvious suggestion. Same maker, can be counted on for 6 or 8 (depending on technique) sessions per charge, includes an...

Of course not, there is noting of that sort that's 100% sure. However, mica is very widely used for this sort of application with no problems found. Peek into a hair dryer or toaster some time. Much larger amounts there, with glowing wire in contact. You don't feel the need to hold your...

I'm not so sure I agree with that. IMO breathing a fraction of a drop of Ethanol is trivial compared to drinking a few ounces of the stuff. There you breathe the stuff constantly in your own exhaust until you sober up. It's not like your liver never sees the stuff (even if you don't drink, it...

Interesting, and useful information. Off hand I'm not so sure how keen I am on the idea of leaving the back plate off. For the very reason you cite. They went to a lot of trouble and expense to make a cover, and one that fits very well and solidly. It's obvious, from your little experiment...

I wouldn't know, having never seen on, but if it was a fit issue the happy customers would have passed that on. The fact that PIU carries it speaks well of it, and gives customers excellent support. The cells used in the battery are a standard size, I doubt the pack is really "heftier". Like...

I've swapped packs well over a dozen times, what with testing, repairs/replacement (I'm made several packs from parts) and so on. While some packs don't fit the compartment, a 'replacement pack' should. Be forewarned, however, that getting the cover snapped back on correctly (no tension) can...

First off, howdy. Welcome to the fun, lots of good folks with sound advice here to help. Just watch out for Ataxian....... I'm sorry to disagree with you right off, but I don't think VB and Solo compare at all. IMO the feature they most share in common is they both use a 7.4 Volt battery...

Wow. At first I said 'that's not one question, it's a bunch of 'em'. Then I noticed there's not real question (where's the "?" mark?). More like a series of statements from memory you're looking to confirm? I'll take a lash, if I miss it try asking the question again, please? It's not a...

Good to hear it's on your list. I'm not privy to your design, of course, so I have no idea why lower voltage would be larger or more expensive (rules of Physics and all). Not that it matters, the call is clearly yours. Based on what I know of customers in general 'bigger and more expensive'...

Sadly, I think you may be exactly right. The 'suits' (sales types) are always pushing, bless their souls. Engineers, OTOH are often happy to fiddle and fiddle and fiddle until the product becomes obsolete....... It's a tough call, how much Beta testing do you do? How do you deal with running...

An inverter, but not the one you're thinking of. There are a host of 12 VDC to 18 to 20 or so VDC inverters for running laptops in autos (18 is a pretty common LT Voltage), power in the 50 to 75 Watt range is the norm. like this one...

I'm not sure that can happen. Glazed ceramic is basically glass on the surface (as we see in Ascent). That means a glass stem leads to 'glass on glass' contact. In such cases extremely high stresses can happen wither the parts touch. The glass, being a bit fluid, distorts some, often...

I would not hold my breath. The cracking/chipping issue got to the point that they replaced all of them (with or without chips) on demand and let you keep the old one. I doubt they'll rush into a spot that might lead to giving away hundreds (at least?) units instead of selling them? Even MFLB...

Yeah, but making evil global warming inducing CO2 is not cool with some you know. How about 'the Bunny Hugger Special', that uses mirrors to focus the sun on the pan....... Better than the wind powered one of course. That tower really makes moving it around difficult. OF

Not to mention the potential of VM learning all about our wonderful Tort Law system. I predict that will start the day after the first brain dead stoner pokes his finger into the base to see if that's where the heat comes from? OF

Thanks for the report. While I don't doubt it, I find it very confusing. I objectively measured more heat available in the hit, up until now everyone who tried found the same clear improvement (although the degree could be different, of course). I wonder if there's another factor in play...

Cool. I have a suggestion, however: Offer it in a 12 Volt version. We Yanks love our cars, trucks and RVs you know. Some literally living in a world of 12 Volt stuff (where 4 or 5 Amps is not uncommon). Not to mention all the boat types. 24V is extremely uncommon.......not that uncommon is...

I've had no trouble with the tubes on either of mine, nor do I recall anyone else reporting it. However, if you carefully watch the 'making the Vapman' video you can see them setting the crimp in the tube. It's done with a mandril from below supporting the tube (piano wire of the correct size...

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what the question is. Sounds like 'why does it have trouble holding temperature' not 'why is the battery life so short'? Although the two could be related I think. Not having tried (even seen) one in the flesh it seems to me like the battery is pushed pretty hard...
