Allow me to say hello, fellow Solo owners. I just became a new Solo owner yesterday evening. Received the latest model M107 from Vapeworld, great service, and price. They got it to me next day(shipping was free and Solo 20% off). Charged it full before using it. Noticed a slight "rattle" without any glass stem in, when shaken slightly. Almost like something not attached properly inside or maybe the battery pack wiring loose. Obviously if it is not common I would like to return fr another one, but the "rattle" noise itself is not terrible, just something making noise. Happens powered on/ off, full charge/ lo charge. Also had the stem not fitting issue, which made me crazy until I came and READ the forum and Vaporpedia entry, and saw how to resolve. I used a little pure coconut oil around edge of stem. So I solved one issue and didnt see aything on a rattle when shaken issue. Here are a few questions/ things maybe someone can clear up, that I was hoping to ask.
1) I was hoping to seek the wisdom of this forum to see if I have a Solo that needs to be returned or no problem/ normal noise, regarding the slight "rattle when shaken" noise I am hearing. Again this is a brand new m107.
2) Any M107 owners with robo-fart smell that did go away on its own? I have used it or just let it heat up, for about 20 uses/ sessions so far. But I can clearly identify with the stink that many others have mentioned. Without it, this Vape would really taste excelent not just good. I am going to try the lesser of remedies and try a ISO wipedown first and maybe burn a full charge on level 7 till almost run out of battery. Then I will try to bake top cap thing.
So far I do like this and definitely see why those who love em, love em, and also see why it received some of the negatives as well. Mine heats up real quick. Seems hot enough to choke me every now and again. I guess if I can get rid of electronics/ robo-fart smell, my enjoyment will increase, if not, I have 30 days to return, and will if smell doesnt lessen. 65% happy with the Solo so far, resolving rattle and acrid scent will definitely push me over 95% happy.Will post standard review once I get a little further into this. Definitely has potential and my interest is peaked, BUT thank goodness I still have LSV to fall back to. Still the best IMHO.
Thanks to all who have posted prior for all the great Solo info, tips, tweaks, etc,.
