Yup, sometimes I get in a rut all right......comfortable and familiar, but a rut none the less.
And without a Jewish Grandmother.....honestly.
Some might say 'bears repeating', others might say 'can't remember what he said'. Your choice.

Hey OF, I meant to say energy(electric) sparkle ... I connected the PA to the power and then connected the other cable to the PA and the solo and this time it all went well...I'm still not sure why it didn't automatically closed yesterday and will it happen again.
I got my adapter from PV,it is 8.5v
EDIT- again it did not close and again I can charge it for few minutes...about 2-3 minutes ... perhaps its normal

Thank you for the information!Nope, the solo is a gret vape-bong unit.
If I could only have 1 portable, it'd be the solo.
I never use the PA, as I've got home units more appropriate for my usage, but it's a solid choice if you plan on using the solo as your primary home vape.
I prefer the freer flow of a modern log (WychWood, underdog, hot pod), or my LSV when at home.
The increased flow of those vapes lets all my fancy percs fire more fully, but the solo gives the same great output of vapor, just with less of that bubble stacking I love so much

Funny this happened to me last night, i did inhale slowlyer, and for less time.. I think that happens when you feel the lungs too quickly and using mainly the upper lung part. Try breathing through the belly first, it's what i do.

First off I would never discourage anyone from getting a solo. I love mine & wouldn't trade it for anything. That being said though, based on what you have said here I think you should probably do a little more research into home units as well before making your final decisions. Basically you said (in a prior post) that you want a nice home unit but can't spend $550 on it. I can only assume you are referring the cano. while that is an awesome vape & I would never knock it or anyone who has it there are lots of other options out there. You have said you want something you can use with water and if you want the bag option as well you should check out the EQ or HA at the cheaper end (both quality units just check those threads), for a little more you can pick up the vivape by vaporfection. If you just want a great home unit for water filtration you could check out both the DBV & the SSV (with the hands free attachment for the SSV). There are several other options out there, you just need to figure out what will work best for you.
If after reading this you decide you still want a portable unit then the solo is an awesome choice. Add a GonG attachment & it is perfect for water filtration. The solo can produce clouds like most heavy hitter home units and is probably the best bang for your buck out there in the portable market.

Most vapes taste popcorny after a while, because of conduction i think. Don't you get popcorny taste in the Solo? I get popcorny taste when the terpenes are thinning out (happens at about 4, i start at 2).. if i go until 7, it will stop tasting popcorny and start tasting like bitter over-done toast.

Just a note on the rice, I read recently that rice only really absorbs moisture it's in contact with, it doesn't draw moisture out, so it might be a bit quicker than just drying, but not necessarily better than just jetting it air dry thoroughly.
There is also some dust/other residues that could potentially be problematic, but that risk is pretty tiny.
Some kind of designed for the task desiccant would be ideal, but not necessarily readily available.
I don't doubt that you read that somewhere but I would like to see some sort of reference (from the author of course, not you) proving this. I wouldn't think this is correct & here is my rationale.
If you get something wet & put it in a humid environment it will dry slower than if you put it into an arid environment. The article said that rice readily absorbs moisture it is in direct contact with and that would include moisture in the air. Basically by putting something in a bag of rice you are creating an artificial arid environment wherein as soon as any water evaporates off the unit, it is absorbed by the rice almost instantly. This means that as the water evaporates off the unit it does not linger in the air near the unit (which would partially saturate the air & hinder further evaporation) speeding the drying time required.

Great information, thank your kindly!! And yes... I have research ALOT mostly all of those vapes and even though I hear great things about the EQ and HA.... I still kind of want to make one gnarly purchase that I won't be over in a year to 2 and looking to upgrade. I have read and watched sooo much, and this jar of Bluedream is just disappearing :/..... I know the portables are going to continue to evolve and get more badass by day...... and that I am probably just really into the Pax because it's the "newest" thing....
Is the small bowl on the Solo that big of a burden to people who use it....?
And I also know that there is the possibility of some really cool or good units coming out.... idkkk, this worse than picking a name for your firstborn child!!! (and i don't have kids).
Ohhh sorry!!..... I was going to get a DBV at very first thought when I saw it in my local shop about 3-weeks ago after I picked up a generic $115 bubbler with nice tree inside of it..the bubbler was broke in 4 days and I got online to find a DBV....THEN. I saw the Pax..... and this madness hasn't calmed since...
I WILL order something today! Just don't know what, lol, but i feel like I'm getting CLOSE!!

I vape on 3 - 4.
At about 10 hits I stop and reload.
It will provide more rips however flavor will start to suffer!
Water Path with the SOLO is heavenly!

Hey man, don't take this the wrong way but it seems you need to do more research or at least do it in other places.
The PAX is not the newest thing nor the best unless you prize stealth above all else, the HA and EQ are great units as well but there are a lot more units out there to consider since they have been around.
I suggest you check log vapes and the LSV, for portables check the Inhalater XP and the FlashVape or the DaVinci if you want more stealth than those can give you, and for gnarly purchases check Cloud and miniVAP.

Very well put, that's my understanding as well. I do know from experience it works.
Otherwise, under the cover where the RH (Relative Humidity) is near 100%, it's like trying to dry your laundry in a steam room.

Well, that's my point. Most vapes will get popcorny. If you don't let any vape get popcorny, the difference lies in your vaporizing process and method, and not on the unit you use.

if you intend to use water the solo is very good. I find the bowl size perfect and I even reduced it a little by putting a small domed screen in. I use about 4g of very headie herb a week do not the heaviest user but no lightweight and it is the perfect amount every time. if I'm with friends the bowl is very easy to unload by blowing it into a jar and cools very quickly, especially if you blow through it. you can easily pack a second bowl within 3 minutes of removing it.

I started with the MFLB and it was great for 2 hits then burnt popcorn flavor.Well, that's my point. Most vapes will get popcorny. If you don't let any vape get popcorny, the difference lies in your vaporizing process and method, and not on the unit you use.
In over a year and a half I haven't use it.
The SOLO tasted better longer.
The BENDER is a whole other level.

I thought the Bender had more conduction than the Solo, why do you say it's a whole other level? I'm curious about your love for that unit. It seems too big and overpriced, when you consider performance, versus other vapes. I never owned one so i'm just talking from reading FC.

I think it might have to do with better temperature control. Terpenes that give cannabis its lovely smell and taste usually vaporize first at lower temps so once they're gone the taste goes with it.

THE BENDER STIRRED NOT SHAKEN IS PREFERRED!
THE BENDER IS CHEAP TO ME?
SOLO WATER PATH IS AWESOME TOO!
THE SOLO IS MY MAIN DRIVER.
BENDER WHEN I WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

Thanks ataxian, but my doubt still stands.
From the picture i can't be sure if the air path is isolated from the element but i'm guessing those circles are the intake holes and the air goes inside the glass tube where the metal part is inserted.
The flavour should be better than the Solo for the first hits, and the bowl seems to be like 3-4 times the volume, but that glass adapter (bender), on top of the metal tube, give me the idea that it will eventually get HOT, and conduction will cook the herbs next to the glass, so it won't last as long as the Solo.
Won't it give better taste if used upside down, provided the herbs are unable to go to the bubbler?

really enjoying my new solo purchse. question. I can't seem to find a 14mm gong so I can put this into my water tool. also what kind of stems do you guys suggestion? is the only difference with the shorty is that the bowl is shorter? cause I feel the regular stem is the perfect size. but I would like to get a straight stem seeming that mine can with two bent ones. anyone with a gong for sale on here?
