I agree there shouldn't be any kind of change unless something physically changed on the unit. However, I guarantee that if you had tried the Solo before and after you wouldn't believe it was the same unit.
Edit: and I'll keep using it ... hopefully your theory of 'problems that go away by...
Alright guys here are my observations after about a week with my "defective" M1C1 unit:
The first time I turned the unit on it heated up to heat level 7 very fast so I decided to time it ... took 37 seconds from cold. After a few "burn in" cycles I loaded up a stem brought the unit up to heat...
Has anyone else noticed the battery meter not working properly on their unit? Mine reads 5 and 4 bars fine but it never goes lower than 4 bars until the unit is completely dead.
Wow nice vac setup .... I'm just running a robinair but I have one of those "best value vacs" vacuum chambers that you posted. Really high quality and he even sent me one of the new silicon gaskets for my lid about a week ago for free!
A long soak in CLR to remove labels but then you will be stuck with something that looks like a sand blasted label ... which IMO is better than a big white or black one

Edit: I don't know about for the sr-71 but for mech mods these are boss
Did you message Kathy hu or email aliexpress? I think Kathy hu is a sales rep for a company that sells through aliexpress so emailing aliexpress wouldn't do a whole lot. She was really fast to get back to me when I asked a question but I used really basic english ... I bet she would look at...
Nice @BLAZING OG you just made me want a lotus even more ... maybe I'll finally put this intercooled health stone hand vape to use. I have lots of different sizes of silicon tubing so I think I should be able to macgyver it up.
Got to play around with the new screens a bit today. If you think the bowl for the old style gong is too deep these are the ticket. Definitely cling to the walls really well and seem like they could make it through a few cleanings before needing replaced ... time will tell
Edit: after a few...
Here are a couple (not so great) pictures of a custom blackwood solo wong that Ed made for me ...
There are a few streaks of chocolate/coffee color through the stem which give it a little personality. :cool:
@Ed's TnT ... Thanks again for the custom work man! Sorry it took so long to get...
Hey guys ... I finally got on the Solo train! Unfortunately my first experience is a less than great one as my Solo is one of the defective M1C1 units
Luckily the eBay seller I bought it from honors the warranty so we are getting it sorted out.
In the mean time I thought I'd show off some...
