Can I just jump right into vaping, or are there some steps I should take before that. Thanks everyone.
First off, howdy, welcome to the Forum and all the fun. Lots of great folks around here ready to help and share tall stories. Great choice on Solo, but you know that.
No, do not use it 'out of the box'.
Charge it first, fully, no cheating. Charge it a minimum of 4 hours AFTER the charge light stops flashing the first time only. Overnight might be better? This can set the maximum possible charge for the battery, once you put a serious discharge on it (like testing the heating) any advantage here is lost.
After that first 'overcharge' ironically not fully charging is a good plan for maximum battery life. Stopping 10% early (less than a single session) will double your battery life. They last a long time anyway, but you can double that in that simple way. Stopping charging when the top (7) LED lights but the charge light is still flashing does this. If you're there and do it you just earned a free recharge cycle in battery life.
It's probably easiest to start with an intact budlet (investigating grinds later). I'd suggest level 4 to start, that's where most seem to end up. Don't put the stem in cold until the seal breaks in, heat the unit up then insert it. Turn the unit upside down when you insert so you don't spill. Give the stem a minute or so to heat and start sipping.
