I'm sorry to say but the broken wire is no doubt the result of your disassembly, not an original failure causing your problem. If you don't want it to get any worse, carefully put the oven pack in place and lock it in with the latches. That's what the latches are for, to protect those wires when the assembly is not in the Solo (when it's properly installed the four screws provide this function, the latches aren't needed then).
You'll have to fix the break and any other damage in addition to what the original problem was. Those fine wires are the temperature sensor, the heavy ones the heater element.
I'm sorry to hear your access to Service is so bad. You can probably ship it to the factory but then have to deal with high shipping costs and customs? Sadly, it might be time to replace it as it has at least two serious problems at this point, both of which will need addressing. That broken wire could not have been part of the original problem, without it it will never be able to regulate temperature......funny lights not withstanding.
Regards.
I would secure the box if I were going to use the 'house safe'. Even a signed paper seal would keep the curious from finding out 'what's in the funny box'. A cheap padlock would be better.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad to hear that the 'vapecase' label comes off. And I'm all for using a padlock and a safe! I assume that Dreamerr is referring to the small room safes, which are theoretically free from the prying eyes of hotel staff (though I know for a fact that hotel security can open them--I've seen it done). Some of those safes are pretty small and, while they would certainly hold a portable vape, I'm not sure that all of them can hold the case. I guess the best advice is: Locked and Loaded!!

Thank you. But you are not right - the wire was broken after I opened it for the first time - if it weren't I would not unscrew those 4 screws... But the result is the same as if I did something wrong.
I have already contacted Service of Arizer, so I will see what they will reply.
Thank you anyway, although you didn't make me happy.

Always in a state of confusion and silliness♀
Bigboss, OF, earlier in this thread explained that that wire breaks just about almost immediately if you take those screws off that metal heater thingy. You may or may not have inadvertently have done it but we have seen this issue so it was a fair assumption. We all love our solos and hope you have a great outcome. Good luck sir.
All he was trying to do was help as we all do.

I get it, no offence. Everything is possible.
So my question is whether someone tried to send it to repait directly to Canada?
Thanks.

Quite honestly a ziptie is enough. If someone is going to bother cutting the tie they would most likely just take the whole case and do it elsewhere. Also its not exactly easy to cut a fully tightened ziptie unless you came prepared with sidecutters or something.
Bonus a black ziptie wont attract as much attention as a masterlock hanging off your case.
That being said arent we really just looking to prevent people from opening it out of curiosity rather than preventing theft? Its not like we chain these things down.

I wrote earlier about my solo looking like this when I got it.
when I emailed kevin at arizer this is the response I got " The tiny marks on the stainless steel heater bowl you are asking about are from a quality control process and are nothing to be concerned about. The Stainless Steel heater bowl is made from high end cold rolled steel, cleaned and processed to hi-temp, food and surgical steel standard."
What should I make of this, I dont want to sent the unit back if I dont have to but I guess what im trying to say is what would 'fuckcombustion' do? Should I send is back or keep it?

Yes, a couple of folks have posted about doing so, but warned about the high shipping and customs problems (which is why I brought it up....). They might give you some static about opening it up, but I doubt it.
In the end you might gain a lot of time for not much money, and have a new unit?
You're welcome, of course. Best wishes. Again, I'm sorry you're at the far end of a very long supply chain.
Whichever way you go you know how neat a unit Solo is and are sure to enjoy it again.

You may want to keep it if it works properly. The spots won't effect anything.HI guys and a gals.

You can pack a fuller/tighter bowl with the PVHES turbo (no 4 glass holes, just one big one w/screen) and still get good draw effort. I like them both!

My Solo "throttles down" as well while using the OEM PA. As for how much time elapses before this happens, I don't know yet.

I have an 18mm Gong and use it with my GBD 7.5'' HT and it works quite well. Not my go to setup as I prefer my ashcatcher + j-hook but it never disappoints

This is how I clean my chamber regularly ;
I use a very fine screen ( NO2 screens ) , insert it in the chamber
Add iso/qtip on top of screen , use it like a mini-mop .
If scrubbing it , doesn't remove the stains .
I would send it back , and get a shiny New one .

Good question, I would like to know this as well, I don't want the replacement to be a faulty M1C1 too
Here's something interesting to note:
When torontorvaporizer.ca replaced my M1C, it was with an M1A! I sent an e-mail response to TV pointing out the model difference and to date, I've never received a response. I even said how much I liked the M1A over the M1C!
