CERAMIC OVEN? (score)!Just picked up a used M102 from ebay (uk). Was hoping the ceramic surface would be half decent. As it turned out it was basically brand new looking. No chipping/flaking etc and very smooth. Battery life's pretty good too, so I don't think it's seen much use. Anyway, I'm loving it. And it holds a temp really well. Rly impressed
And one of the bottom because I couldn't find a decent pic of an M102 base when I was looking at buying this one (4 holes on the bottom going away from the charge socket, most other models seem to have 3, had me bugged out).
Now to buy some higher flow stems to play with and mebbe try the O-ring. But tbh I like the original curved stem quite a lot, and the unit gives a really nice vapour/taste. No complaints yet.
SWEET HAWAIIAN SKUNK level 4 PHVES straight stem with a 113 O-RING under the cap!
Mines old as well (batch after yours)
Nice Find!

It is about time for my two-year-here check-in; actually it is more like 27 months, but that is an inside joke about separation from my now wife during her Peace Corp time.
I have a personal problem that is essentially ethical and ecological.
I use my one Solo dawn to dark. As my clean straight stem gets messy, my two other straight stems soak in alcohol, stored in travel tubes.
An ever darkening alcohol first soak and then a second in the cleaner alcohol tube.
The stems thus rotate through the soaks and a very clean stem is always available, needing only a hot water rinse and dry.
The hot milk method never cleaned sufficiently for me, and btw my ABV is always tossed away.
The problem is that I choose to discard the dirty alcohol rather than to recover the honey.
While I love living in a legal state and thus worry not about lack, how now to live in harmony with nature?
What do I do with the thick, sticky, dark alcohol that I am collecting?
I do not own property where I might soak it into the ground and it doesn't seen right to flush it into to our waste water stream or even to garbage-trash sites.
Had I a fireplace, I might drizzle the alcohol on firewood, but alas, I lack.
Here is a travel tube and soaking stem wherein at least two principles of physics are demonstrated as the trapped air is keeping the liquid from leveling and air surface tension is keeping the air from escaping up through the four stem bowl holes.
If you are more concerned with the cleanliness of the stems than with reclaiming the resin I would suggest cleaning with PBW (Professional Brewers wash) @OF turned many of us on to this amazing cleaner.
I use PBW to do the final cleaning even when I clean stems and save the resin.
PBW will make your glass sparkle. It is available on Amazon.

@gangababa you can get a little alcohol stove and use it to keep your tea hot. @benbenben looks like it's brand new, nice score, because the patent date is 2010 instead of 2011 it's gotta be a slightly earlier mark, and I've heard those are good. I use an Easy Flow gong from the UK and it's good.

I have some PBW as well.
ALCONOX is what I use however I don't know anything?
This morning I found a PHVES from www.planetvapes.ca
What a difference!
The copies are so temping with the low price.
However the design isn't even close?
REAL phves = $$ = Had for over a year!
FAKE phves? = $ = 3 days? Cheap glass and not even close. (not worth it)
My GonG is a made up fixed broken stem.
FUCK I forgot to order more stuff?

have a question I cleaned my straight glass stem for my solo and noticed it has a small crack on the outside of the stem. Is the stem still ok to use or will it crack all the way thru when its heated up ?
I think @Mr.Sifter might be referring to the ceramic plating that was on the ss heat chamber on the first couple of batches. Mine is an M103 and it has (or rather 'had') the ceramic-plated chamber. The ceramic easily chips away, so Arizer stopped plating the ss pretty early on.

Probably not a good idea to pour ISO directly into the oven. There are tiny holes at the base you don't want ISO dripping down into the mechanics of the unit. Next time get a q-tip with ISO and squeeze any excess out, you can even turn your Solo up side down while cleaning.
the thing is i already poured iso into the oven, probabaly 1/6th of what the oven should have held if it did not have holes.
now wondering if i should just get a new vape.

Let the ISO dry out for a day or two and then try the Solo again. As long as the iso is gone there should be no big deal.
@ataxian the link you posted was WRONG again. the FC sponsor and manufacturer of the PVHES is Planetvape.ca. The s on the end is the mistake.
GOING TO THE CORRECT WEBSITE=CIVILIZED.

You don't need to clean that part out mate. I use my solo loads and I never clean that section. If anything I unscrew the top part and gently tap the unit a few times up side down to release any already vaped herbs that have dropped down.
As sickman said above, just try it a few times after its dry. It was iso alcohol, not some acid? Everything should be fine.... I think?
Your pic doesn't look that bad to me Disruptxd.

You should have asked before doing it... At most you use a q tip with it, with the Solo upside down. Since you used ISO alcohol at least it will evaporate cleanly, however there is still some amount of water in it. Sometimes 30%, sometimes just 9 or 1%. Put it in a bag of rice for a few days and then turn it on and see if it works. Personally I would disconnect the battery too before doing this. Afterwards do some dry burns at 7. Maybe use a little bit of mesh to see if it works at roughing it out? If it doesn't affect taste just leave it? I have a ring in the outer part of the oven where the stems sit and it doesn't affect taste so I just leave it there. I don't spend any time looking at the bottom of the oven when I'm using it?
I turned on the vape and heard some popping noises, heated to 3.
I was not really thinking when I was doing this.
With the responses so far it seems the safest choice is to replace my vape..
If anyone that has experience is interested in buying it to refurbish it contact me, I have kept this in pretty good condition.

Nobody said replace it? Isopropyl alcohol evaporates fine but we don't know what that amount of water may do, if anything. Put it in rice and use it in a few days. Do you just want to get a new vape? Just get a different one if you want... Is this your only one?
This is my only portable, I have a cloud evo as well. I'm not saying that you guys are telling me to replace it, however with something that I'm inhaling and using for consumption my gut tells me to play it safe. It was 70% iso
I hope I'm not sounding like I'm ignoring the advice, I really appreciate the suggestions so far. I don't feel alone now

It's not that it poses a health hazard, it's that water in the electronics might mess with the electronics and cause unexpected problems like maybe it'll randomly shut off. It's not going to kill you. Throw it in rice and go back to it in a few days. Personally like I said I'd pull the battery out as well just to make sure. If you wanna spring for another vaporizer go ahead, it's probably a good idea to have a backup portable... Perhaps a butane powered one? Vapman/VapCap/Lotus? The basic VapCap is pretty cheap and a surprisingly decent vape if you don't have a huge tolerance.
I really enjoyed the solo, with that said I am eyeing the air.. Cf boundless if cheaper? I do like the idea of glass on glass

I have had water get into my Solo (overfilled f-bomb water tool) and I just put it aside for a day or 2 and it was fine.
If you are looking for a new portable there are stealthier vapes than the Solo.
How much is some water? I literally poured iso for two seconds into the heating chamber, which since there's four holes it went inside
I turned it on thinking I'd need to give it some burn...
For your health hazard comment, would the alcohol not be able to corrode or even burn the wiring with heat which you'd activate and inhale per session?
