Some like the PNWT?
Maybe it's a good fit for the PINNACLE PRO however for the SOLO I could not get it to work as well as my other Set Ups:

EXPLORE and find your own sweet spot!

I found mine:





What I do may suck for others however works for me.

There is no right or wrong way.

Just a way!

I'm thinking of either getting the pinnacle micro-shower water tool attachment or a smallish bong to use with my solo. Which should I get?

EXPLORE!

EDIT: @Stu set me up with a stock 18mm GonG I'm using.
I just received a 14mm GonG (stock) However I need a 14 & 18mm PHVES GonG as well!

Hard to say, they vary in sizes and some won't fit while other do. Seems like they're from one or two sources, too. If you can find them locally maybe take a clean stem in to check the fit?

:lol: yes already tried a few local shops and brought my mostly clean stem with me [gotta pickup that 90% iso the 50% aint cuttin it] and they only had the star shaped glass screens which i have already, so the search continues...

Pack loosely, just dense enough that it won't fall out when it's loaded in the Solo, usually i start at 4 and work my way up if i feel i can get hotter hits. if it starts tasting too hot and bad just knock it down a notch.

Cheers mate.

I tried it 3 different solo settings with the results below. Used the same amount and type of herbs for all -

1. Started at 190 C (setting 3 on the solo) got about 4 (10 second) draws. All the draws produce good light milky colour. After the 4th draw I don't see any vapour. Is that normal? Even if I bumped up the setting to 4 or 5 same situation, no visible vapour.

2. Started at 195 C (setting 4 on the solo), got the same result, even when I notched it up to 5 or 6

3. Started at setting 5 and worked my way up to 7 and same results as the above.

All 3 resulted in the same high, about 45 mins before it dies out, ofcourse this differs with tolerance

Confused if I'm doing this wrong or I just use any setting and a bowl will only result in 4 vapour (milky) draws, before I have to refill ?

I noticed that the HES for me has made it so that the airflow is less restricted but I think my vapor is slightly thinner.

I think there's great wisdom here. Of course there's no more vapor. Heat makes vapor, not letting more cold air into the game. In fact, the cold air robs heat and therefore means less vapor. Not in volume, but in THC content. I know I'm about to get hit with 'that's not how it works for me' posts, but that's how it works in Physics and Chemistry. The draw gets easier (so you can get a 'bigger hit' easier) but the concentration of good stuff has to suffer. It's a rule.......

There also seems to be a lot of concern about battery life again. Please let me repeat my 'take' here? Capacity goes down over the useful lifetime of the battery. Some things (like letting it get too hot, deeply discharging or a habit of 'always recharging fully') can make this worse. In general you should get 300 or so cycles (charge/discharge) from the pack, twice or more if you practice some battery discipline. I recommend never 'running it to the bottom' (recharge after the last LED doesn't light, even though the Solo will do a few more sessions before locking you out) and if you can stop the charging when the top LED lights but before the charge LED stops flashing (this alone can double or more your battery life).

Finally, it's easy enough to test useful capacity, but you need to 'standardize the load'. The amount of draw and the step level have a huge impact. Too big to ignore. I suggest you try what I do: Run at step 7 with no stem (top open) and no forced airflow. This will be a uniform run, same every time. My tests show you should get about 'a (12 minute) session per step on the battery meter'. That is say 8 such sessions for a fully charged (have to fully charge here to control that part) battery. I replaced my pack with a couple of 'home made' ones when it got to 4 or 5 sessions under those conditions.

Regards to all.

Always good advice.

So is this the only site for accessories? Or the only one worth using?
Also when you guys load a bowl, do you keep the material below the edge of the stem or kinda load it over the rim for a better contact? (IMO).

My experience has been that it makes no difference at all. The heat is transferred by air as you inhale, rather than by conduction through the metal floor of the oven.

More important is the size and packed-ness of the crumbled material, though it ain't hard - I just put in however much I want, then press it down a touch (without packing it slightly, stuff comes through the holes).

Dreamrr - I will try to never again bring you to cavernous yawns with long-winded posts:rofl:. I did refer our new friend to those particular yawners dated Jan. 20th, for starters. I believe he is well on his way with a multitude of exploration. Others have piped in with some excellent pointers. For the most part I think my work is done. I'm on call at FC 24/7;)!!! Don't hesitate to call. OUT>>>

I bought from the "thegolfmiester" on ebay and paid the extra 5 bucks for the shipping. Keep in mind that I paid them Midnight, tuesday night. The order was shipped yesterday and is out for delivery in my city today. NEVER had faster shipping than that unless I paid overnight. Best part about it was that it came out to 135 SHIPPED and came with a free grinder.

Most of yall know me here so Im not in any way shape or form advertising but I just wanted to give people a heads up on who to purchase from if they do it on ebay.

so i forgot my grinder at my buddies place last night and wasnt able to grab it before snowboarding this morning so i ended having to vape 'hippy picked' stems but to my suprise it worked perfectly fine! the flavour was stupid good, for sure better then with grounded meds! im just shocked at how well it vaped still though, the ABV came out a nice dark even colour after running it on 7 for five mins. it really makes me curious if i even need to grind up my buds in this thing now :o

I am who I am and your approval isn't needed!
What color is your abv (vape poo), when done ?

I use my Solo with medium ground goods starting at 3 and ramping to 4 within the 12 minute battery session, then I give it a little stir with a toothpick and restart on level 5 until it doesnt taste pleasant to me (popcorn'ish like)... my vape poo when done is tanned or just starting to turn chocolatey brown and will crumble to dust between two fingers. I then dump it and am in my preferred headspace. Some will eat their abv.... I toss it in a can and dump it in my compost myself as I hate the taste ;)
