I would take a piece of 220 grit wet or dry paper and with water place the paper on a flat sources and work the cut glass edge on the DTY adapter. With some work you should be able to get an original type finish on the cut edge.

Is there a one stop shop where I can buy the Vapor Tamer as well as the other two fittings? I don't think SSV has the adapting pieces.

If not available at one shop, could someone itemize the parts with links to each piece?

I have been busy this weekend and stoned when I can so maybe McNerdius can put it all on one post.

I just realized yesterday that I have been using MJ for 45 years virtually every day that I could get my hands on it. Incidentily I used hash the first time even before MJ. I retired after 30 yrs at same job and raised 2 sons with Engineering Degrees and a daughter with a Masters in Public Admin and a Law Degree. Not bad for an old hippie-oh still on my first wife too. I know I could not have kept it together if I had continued drinking hard up to age 30 like I was.

Back in the day there was no drug testing in the Army either. So I kinda have an excuse for laying back so someone please make me a list of what I need. In the meantime I can keep vapin.

Da Ape :myday:

1) Vapor Tamer [from silversurfervap.com] $29.99 + shipping
2) Some kind of 18mm male adaptation. This is currently up in the air as there is no 'standard' interior diameter for these GonG pieces, so your milage may vary from brand to brand and from piece to piece. Some options/ways of doing things are:
hacking a vapor tamer mouthpiece [also from silversurfervap.com] which you may be buying one of anyway. Maybe just buy a couple and hack the one you dont want ? Hacking something like this or this (which i believe is what bwade wunner used) would do the trick. However, if hacking glass bits up isn't your thing, this is probably the way to go. $9.99 - ~20.00 + shipping
3) The final requirement is a solo stem. The ideal way to go would be as bwade wunner and i have mentioned: cut the stem down so that it's just long enough to slip the GonG over it. I can't say whether or not this would work on the original, angled stems, because of the 'kink' in it contorts the shape, but if someone was willing to try, that would be great. Straight stems would have to be acquired directly from arizer or perhaps rockwise. Free or $9.99 plus shipping, depending on if you already have a straight stem or are willing to try it with an angled one, potentially rendering it useless, and buy a replacement. :)

4) Optional, but highly beneficial: a dremel of some kind to cut glass. Although one can use any old stem and stuff it into the male<->male adapter, that would be something like 8" long. Hacking the glass bits as bwade wunner has done makes things about 1.5-2" long i'd imagine, the bulk of which is the GonG which is going to slip flush into the female joint, making this thing in essence a Solo-compatible bowl for your bong/bubbler, just as much as it is a GonG stem for your solo. If that makes sense, lol...

So I'm thinking of hopping on this band waggon...

Amazon has the SOLO for 159.99... now, if I buy that does that mean I don't get the warranty?
Amazon also has a couple for 179.99.

The cheapest is sold by 'Vaporizer King' Amazon store... and it works with my Amazon Prime.

Thoughts?

EDIT

also says comes with 2 year warranty

Talked me into it... got next day shipping for 3.99 from my amazon prime account... so whenever it ships, bam. This'll be a nice addition to my upcoming fall break hahaha.

Oh, I love college. And vaporizing. And weed. I guess I'll have to start posting in this thread too now... bummer hahaha.

It rocks!!!! Used it twice already. Hubby doesn't medicate and he couldn't smell anything when he walked in the door. I was medicating while cooking dinner.

I have a question for those vaporbonging with their Solo.

Does anyone else "throttle" their Solo while taking bongrips? I like to twist mine around the (fixed) stem as if I'm riding a motorcycle. I starting doing this thinking that maybe it would even out the load by twisting the heater core around the bowl. I'm not sure if I'm accomplishing anything by doing this, but it certainly doesn't hurt anything and it's kinda fun to think "vroom vrooom" while your taking a rip. :lol:

Am I the only one that does this?

:peace:

Welcome fellow vaporist ! We've needed some fresh faces in here. I've been getting lonely and having to look at all of these little cute guys:

:rockon: :nod: :science: :bowdown: :tup: :mental: :disgust: :lmao:

Ok so that was really just a lame greeting combined with a stupid excuse to play with some smilies... but for real, welcome to the Exclusive Solo Thread Club.

TL Welcome to the Solo thread on FC.

I find the smell very unnoticable on setting 3-4 and the slight popcorn smell at the higher end. But it is still very mild and I usually have a ceiling fan or Golden Canyon candle going too. Also you will notice better flavor down low on temp too. Also if hubby smokes cigs he will have blunted sense of smell probably.

If you are new to vaping ck out some of the edible recipe threads from the use of your saved AVB ,"Already Been Vaped" herb. Saving my ABV now for a chance to try a new granola bar recipe with use of cannabutter.

I keep coming to this thread because I know I will eventually get one. But I think I'm gonna wait a little while. I was an early adopter on the E and watched Arizer go through four revision over four years (I needed two replacement units) before they got it down pat. It wasn't until the third revision that they thought they finally hit it.
 
stickstones,
Well guys and gals my new 4 hole stems arrived today!!!! I will post up some pics and some reviews a little bit later.

I just have to say that I have had my solo for two months now and it has no chipping, flaking, smells, or problems. Its the only vape I ever care to vape out of now and it's getting to the point that it's the only vape I care to own anymore.

I fucking love this thing and was hesitant to buy, and fortunately have no regrets.

My SS replacement is here. While it's charging I unscrewed the cap on both my old and new units, it's clear that my SS unit is a lot more restrictive. With the old flaking unit I can place lips to top plastic piece and get enough air to stay on it, with the new one I can't get air fast enough for one breath. Testing will start very soon.

My Solo is the silver one but it come with a black "face plate" so if mix matched colors rub you the wrong way maybe go with all black. I happen to like the black and silver mix myself.

If there are any number of you fellow solo users that are interested in acquiring either
18mm/18mm male fittings or 18mm/14mm male fittings please feel free to shoot me an email.
I have found a glassblower who cranks these fittings out like magic. I will be happy to pass
along his contact info. I'm no broker, just a solo fiend out to improve your solo experience.

Urrgh. I was home sick today, and my Solo came to my office. Couldn't help it - nearly cut a finger off over the weekend. Picking it up tomorrow though (the vape, not my finger).

Those who've used the vapor tamer with the Solo - I have the thin one from when I got my LSV. After reading this thread and a similar discussion on the 'zap thread, I took it out and used it with my new Rockzap for the first time. It reminded me of why i stopped using it - I got a couple cool hits, then had to put the tamer back in the freezer for more than an hour.
Can anyone else comment on how much use they get before having to refreeze? The Rockzap is fixed temp, so maybe with a lower temp on the Solo, a bit more use is possible?

I find the tamer juuuuuust enough for 1 quick sesh... I typically do my first hit or 2 without it [the yummy ones] followed by the tamer.

When it's an evening event or similar binge... i keep a bowl of ice nearby and let it "chill" with me between hits/bowls

;)
 
McNerdius,
My small tamer was a freebie, and for that I'm thoroughly thankful to 7thfloor and especially Chris.

On the other hand, I too have found it to lose its temperature far too fast. I usually get two LSV bowls all the way through before I feel like it's not doing a damn thing - this has made it more of an occasional novelty than an essential part of my vaping arsenal.

The fatty and the Saturn may last way longer.

@CDS

How long back in the freezer does it take for the tamer to freeze? Could a guy rotate two tamers in and out of the freezer or maybe two would not even keep up. What do you think?
