:myday: Side by side comparisons reinforce my speculation that the heater component or design was altered on the 2014 model. The heating chamber section (upper third) on the 2013 is noticeably hotter and corresponding LED/heat depletion, upon inhale, is less. I'm aware bigger holes can...

It's definitive, getting 6 sessions per charge on my 2013 Solo and 9 sessions per charge on my 2014. Had another auto shutdown (sub 1) on blue idle on the 2014. The 2013 does (sub 1) session on blue idle. Another repeatable anomaly on the 2014 model is 2 sessions per LED on #7 and #2.

The difference between the 2014 and 2013 Solo is subtle but perceptible, similar to the difference between the iPhone 5 and 5s.

Empirical observation... My 2013 is getting 5/6 sessions per charge, my 2014 is getting 7/8, under similar curcumstances. So it isn't twice as many session as initially inferred.

When I have the time... I believe other have reported 2 LED drops per session so I don't consider it out of the norm. My first post about the new unit several pages back theorized it seems more powerful, that includes battery life. What's the consensus, how many LEDs does a Solo normally drop...

My first Solo sat on the shelf from September 2013 until Feb 2014 when I first began using it. Might've been used a half dozen times before that.

RE: Battery life, my 2014 Solo drops about 1 light per 12 minute session on 6. My 2013 Solo drops 2 LEDs per session on 6. My 2014 has almost twice the battery life. ;)

:myday: I'm a tough customer. Creating a great vape requires not only an intimate understanding of the vaporists' needs, it requires engineering and manufacturing expertise. Arizer has proven itself with two revolutionary products. Their industrial engineering is second to none unless you...

I preordered the Ascent and don't consider it in the same league as Solo. Assembly and build quality was 3rd World and it didn't function well as a vape. I returned it to DV for a refund.

Bought these screens on Ataxian's suggestion. Thanks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-1-2-50-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Pipe-Screen-Tobacco-Smoke-Screen-Wholesale-/301121546362?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item461c3e287a

That'd be super, Stu!

Yes, I believe so. About to purchase screens and PV seems like best option. I like full bowls and Vapir2 dome screens lessen load. Anything better than PV screens out there?

Last night my new Solo decided it didn't have enough juice. The red light came on as the LEDs sank. Never experienced that with older model but maybe the battery never got that low? Didn't want to cross post but here's some Solo consumption stats I find interesting...

:myday: An efficiency epiphany is altering my habitual ritual. For the past few years I vaped exclusively with VapeXhale products, Cloud, Cloud +, EVO. Before that I used numerous others desktop brands, Cano, Extreme Q, SS, Da Buddha, etc. All had negatives; imperfect screens, dirty whips...

The Solo is viable as a bong driver but not as powerful as some dedicated desktop vapes. I prefer to reserve it for direct vapor and mobility purposes but have paired it with water tools too.

+1 I agree! Thought of that as being contributing factor. Love the increased airflow!

Agree with everything you say. Mine is producing clouds when the light hits 6. The LED cycle syncs with my inhale and when I next inhale, at 6, I blow another cloud. I'm pleased with the way my unit works. There appears to be a direct correlation between the heat and LED levels on my unit but I...

I don't mind it doing that. My take is the CPU/heat sensor link is more sensitive and responsive which is a good thing! Haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life. Seems contradictory, I know. But this model seems to run cooler and heat faster which is what I was addressing. It may...

:myday: Got my second Solo, a silver MIA4A, charge through model from Vaporsellers. More on that in a sec. The CPU and heater seem more powerful. When I hit it on 6 my draw brings it down to 3 lights and then back up. My older model dropped only a notch so there's no LED light show. Because the...

I track how much I buy, follow my usage, and am very curious about the efficiency of the various vapes I use.
