Due to the 'strange' connector EIAJ-02 (actually being used outside it's normal voltage rating), there are few options. No 'normal maker' will provide that connector on a supply over 6.3 Volts for fear of wrecking something. Pipes can sell you an adapter so the more standard 5.5 X 2.1mm connector supplies can work. Or you can get a universal adapter end from Radio Shack and the mating 12 Volt, one Amp supply (total nearly the price of the factory unit):

If you have time, drop Pipes a PM. If you're in a rush, try Radio Shack. Otherwise the factory unit is probably the best call.
Good luck.

Its very noticeable. I stand up the GonG and it stands at an angle. Just looking at it, its very obvious. A few set of eyes have seen it already and said its not right. I sent pics to PV already.

Does it cause any problems?
I generally buy such things to use, not look at, but can understand how some folks like things perfect..... If you are not satisfied with it, PV is known for fixing that.....I'm sure they'll take care of you.

After a long day, I guess I'll test out my JoDa gong and finish up my electrical theory assignments. Gunna be a toasty night, thanks @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd !!

http://postimg.org/image/o3ub14qur/ This picture is exactly the same except my friends had it worse. Funny enough I found the way I heard of the corrosion before, I replied to a thread on reddit. Someone else thinks it's cement in the thread. To be transparent I worked with car batteries for a bit and It does seem similar to the corrosion you'll see(sometimes blue or green). Although the battery chemistry of a car and an arizer solo are different.

That's called furnace cement, it's there because it can handle heat and being heated over and over again. You're not supposed to remove the screws there, I don't see any situation in which I would ever have to do that. Maybe even warranty-ending. Blue or green corrosion on terminals in a car battery is way different. If the cells in the Solo went bad the thermal fuse in the battery pack would blow first, if the cells somehow manage to keep failing after that then most likely they'll vent/leak and it would stop working completely.

Broke my first bit of glass. Goodbye straight stem you have served me well. I am on holiday so thank goodness I brought my bent stem. Just placed an order for new straightie.

Exactly so, it's cement, not corrosion. The corrosion you fear is soft and powdery (not rock hard). Entirely different.
Care to rethink that "It's sort of ridiculous how poor this industries safety standards are considering it's for health" charge?
Amen. I sure hope nobody follows that bad idea (one we've discussed before). Not only is it not useful, and it does violate the warranty I think, but it's also an excellent way to break one of the thin wires underneath killing the Solo like I did. And unless you're lucky like I was and can solder it back together like I could that will be a big issue........

I don't know if it's rock hard I never said that. I didn't want to touch it or agitate it. I'm speculating I hope you know you are too. This is not the only reason why I think the vaporizer industry is not safe. I've had many portable vaporizers and off-gassing has been a major issue. As a whole E-cigs and dry herb vaporizers certainly are not 100% safety tested. That's why people like to inquire about the materials being used in them so they can better judge how safe they are. The industry is new and I doubt there are even many tests yet for how safe these things really are.
Why doesn't every solo have the furnace cement in that spot then? I've opened a few others and haven't seen it. It would absolutely make sense that it is furnace cement I just want to make sure it is 100%.
Edit: Sorry I should have added this to my last post.
mod note: I added it for you.

No, when I'm speculating I clearly indicate it, or at least try to. I'm making statements I fully intend to back up if asked. As close to fact as I know.
On what do you base the claim off gassing is a health issue? This has been discussed at length, and I just mentioned it above, in the man reputable makers are using temperature approved, food or medical grade materials. There is no such thing as 'toxic mystery vapor', the kind you need a flashlight and dark room to confirm. If you know of specifics otherwise, please give them. It's quite normal for this to happen. If, for instance in the case of 'improperly cured rubber parts', the catalyst used is food grade there is no health threat. Food grade is more expensive of course (Platinum based IIRC), but is widely available and commonly used.
Likewise, generally, plastics are appropriate to the usage. Competent Engineers abound as do Lawyers ready to jump on an credible hint of toxic risks. And competitors would gladly pay for that most likely?
I don't expect to change your mind on the matter of course, but strongly disagree with the idea that the products we trust are known to be hazardous due to exploitative capitalists (or whomever). To the contrary, I think most are very responsible and consider health aspects of their products carefully......and am prepared to back that opinion up.
I think folks should not fear. Question, yes, but save the slander until the facts are in?
I think there is furnace cement in every heater assembly, it surely has been in every one I've checked. I don't see how that part of the assembly could be built without it, it's what keeps the cup in place on the ribs in the plastic body. It's also what provides strain relief on the leads, otherwise they'd likely break off inside......not a good thing.
Regards to all.

I don't believe that's a gamble at all really. Others have reported buying them from Amazon, but it's not cheaper than list price? I thought that's what you wanted??
I've no idea about the car charger (actually a pretty simple thing, cord, connectors and a fuse....), but the wall charger is the genuine article and backed up by Amazon.
It'll work fine.

Glad I didnt pull the trigger on a PVGonG yet I dont like what im seeing about them being uneven and they blamed it on arizer? 
Cant catch a break with the makeshift shorty stem...finally ordered stuf online becuase the local shops failed me repeatedly. The glass screens everyone suggested were just too small or akward...im guessing becuase the shop knows a guy who makes them and they arent all sized the same or even.
Ordered basket sceens. They seem like the best way but ill find out soon.
Edit: my goal is to reduce the size of the bowl by 60%. For tiny sessions, like a 10 minute work break. Or a quick wake n bake. Thats why I havnt just bought a PV shorty

So a purchase from PlanetVape for the Solo didn't fit and the purchase from VapoShop did fit? Did you tell PlanetVape that blaming Arizer can't be right if the one from Vaposhop fits? I'm scratching PlanetVape off my list of retailers simply based on the customer service I've received from PIU and VaporNation. I could be wrong but I gotta feeling PIU and VaporNation would have taken care of you where PlanetVape did not.
Have you checked PIU? They have these being sold on their site:

Planetvape is a sponsor for the FC. I've always had very good service and have ordered several glass pieces and some other accessories.
I always order my vaporizers if I can through Puffiup here lately just because it's quick and very good customer service, no shipping fee to send back if you have issues.

PV GonG update:
They said they could not believe that the GonG made it through QC in that condition. They apologized and are sending a new GonG and told me to keep the old one. Very nice.

Folks, when I start feeling like I'm loading more, I jump-start my receptors again!
Wakes them babies right up!
Your receptors will be very receptive to your consumption once again!
Grapefruit, Green Tea, Mango’s (Myrcene), Lemon Grass Oil 1-2 drops daily, Hemp Seed Oil and/or Coconut Oil Daily (with Myrcene, best receptor cleaners).

Been enjoying blends lately with the grinder. Have a new strain: Sour Tsunami. As I said before, it gives you a weird high(19% CBD, 1% THC). You get high, but it's more of a body high. I have tinnitus(ringing in the ears). I hear high pitched tones all the time, but the tones change depending on the strain of weed used. High THC=high tones---high CBD low tones.
When I blend different varieties together I get a virtual symphony in my head. Very strange; but yes, enjoyable.
Very high THC weed wigs me out(paranoia and anxiety), A more balanced strain(like Blueberry) do not do that.
Blending strains gives you the opportunity to dial in just the effect you need.
And the Solo delivers the goods in a healthier way.
