RE ; screens
These are still my favorite to use from the very beginning .
I will however , have to try @OF flame torch cleaning advice method .Even tho a 2 minute quick soak in iso works well , I find it helps in the deterioration of these screens . ie fraying and losing it's top-hat dome shape .
The SOLO is my driver!Couldn't agree more. Solo is generally a bigger hitter than the MFLB, and my preferred when stealth isn't an issue. But, hard to beat the MFLB for those stealthy situations. It's small and easy to pocket and palm, and with a little practice you can make your exhale pretty much imperceptible.
When stealth isn't an issue and more than 20 feet away from an A/C receptacle, solo remains my first choice.
other than stealth, ive been re-learning how good the MFLB is for when u just want a quick occasional breath without committing to the amount and time of a solo stem.one last flight
I have 3 solo's and 2 mflb's (had 6 at one time)With the Solo if you just want a few draws you can take the glass stem out of the unit for use later. You also can use a dome screen and just put a tiny bit of herb in the stem. The Solo is very versatile. No need to go back to the MFLB, each to their own method though.
I hope I don't break it!
So I opened up the top of my friends solo and there was a white powdery looking substance that looks like massive corrosion. I remember seeing something about this before.
It's sort of ridiculous how poor this industries safety standards are considering it's for health.
More restricted airflow and has thicker glass , keeping the heat more efficiently. I would not recommend as a primary stem, since the vortex requires you to "chill" on it (should/have to wait an additional 30-45sec when you start it up compared to other stems, and have to respect the 30~ sec in between hits ) thus making it not a stem you want to use when your on the go or in a hurry.so was just wondering is the solo vortex stem different to the pvhes turbo stems ? how do they compare to the turbo ones thanks soloists
If your friend has a Solo that continues to taste bad, I would think he should email the vendor that he bought it from.So I opened up the top of my friends solo and there was a white powdery looking substance that looks like massive corrosion. I remember seeing something about this before. Was this figured out? He said it has bad taste and I'd assume corrosion is dangerous to inhale.

Edit: Sorry not sure why this posted twice.
Just got a secondary solo from Randy for $55 . I was surprised when I got it because I wasn't expecting any of the accessories to come with it, let alone extra o rings and screens.
No but my stems all aren't perfectly flat where the rim of the "business end" is, it's not so uneven that I can see it with my bare eyes but if I feel around it or sit it against something flat I can tell. It needs the little bit of unevenness otherwise it would sit flush with the four air holes.I got my 18mm shorty GonG from PV today.
So it looks like they cut the end of my shorty bowl crooked. I can see it slant when I hold it up. Anyone else own/get a GonG that had this?
That's pretty stupid of PV. I wonder how Arizer would feel knowing they're telling people to physically alter the Solos to get it to work... in any case if you're ever in the need again @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd can work you up an adapter or something. He's good people and will make sure it works for you! Makes fancy octopus stems and other stuff too! Last 10 pages has recent super cool stuff. http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/joda-glassworks.13915/No luck with the turbo GonG I bought from PlanetVape. I asked them about it not fitting into the Solo & they say that's Arizer's fault not theirs.
However they did give me some information on how to widen the hole in the Solo with a pair of scissors & hoped I found that helpful. I didn't.
I'm sure the majority of their GonGs fit but be aware. If you buy one of these you're purchasing an accessory that may or may not fit the device it is intended for & if it doesn't, that's just bad luck for you.
Anyway it's not a big deal it's only $30 but it's kinda turned me off PlanetVape & the Solo. I'll be doing my research before purchasing any future accessories through them.
On a side note the 14mm GonG I bought from VapoShop fits & works perfectly.
