Are you still using cotton as a filter?

Yes, Cotton/Hash/Cotton. Sometimes I use the cotton from a q tip I've swirled in my stem to get it gooped up in stem hash oil too...

Thanks for this, I will try to acquire it here from local business ...
The noise is gone, it was indeed the ABV.

I do the same thing and then roll it in kiefYes, Cotton/Hash/Cotton. Sometimes I use the cotton from a q tip I've swirled in my stem to get it gooped up in stem hash oil too...
sounds like a bad idea
I'm pretty sure that's what happened to the people using psp chargers. The voltage was right but the output was 300-500mA to high

VB, I understand it differently. I thought that the PS3 (is it really psp chargers?) could not run
for long periods at their stated max load. I believe that the info on a power supply is its max capability
over a short period of time. As they were running just above their max limit for a long time they over heated
and melted. I also dont think that providing a little more power to the solo would cause any issue, the solo
would just use what it needed and your power supply would be less efficient.
Dont quote me on any of this though. Just the collected musings of a guy on the internet.

i was curious because a friend misplaced his charger.
At best buy they have a 12 volt @ 500mA
(which the guy said wouldn't charge the battery)
And a 12 volt@ 1200 mA
(which he stated would charge the battery)
Now my friend was using his variable car charger and it is rated @ 1200mA and it did charge the Solo. Was just curious if it would do any damage.

I thought it was a slim ps2 power adapter?

Frederick, you might be right, I cannot remember due to the success I am having with my solo!!
I will do some testing over the xmas break to see exactly what is needed to charge and use this bad boy.
I will then see if I cannot update the wikivape solo page.
@ Al, As I dont know the exact needs of the solo re power I prefer not to comment but just remember that
the numbers on the label of any power supply are for the max load / current for a short period of time. If either
the solo or PS heat up too much or quickly then stop there and then, When I charge and use my solo the battery
area on the case gets nicely warm to the touch but never 'hot'...

when selecting a charger you need to select the correct voltage coz higher than required voltage could damage your device, however current rating indicates the load it can sustain. So in in a nutshell higher current than equipment rating doesn't harm your device as long as the voltage rating is the correct one for your device.

^^^I think the mA is what can cause problems.
Just gotten my PVHES 18mm GONG...looking lovely!! I must find a way to keep it safe from my dreadful hands!
EDIT: Oh lord, how I missed the PVHES !!! I just vape some lovly Mango Haze with the PVHES GoNG and my wonderful HY showerdome, man what a lovly pack of thick clouds, I was really coughing... oh I missed this ... lets see how long I survive without breaking it.

So what your saying is as long as its 12 volts it should be fine?
And the 1200 mA is fine too?
Either way I told him I would just buy a replacement charger made for the Solo.
Anyone know the Solo car charger specs?
VaporGuy

This is exactly what I'am sayin. And if the 1200mA is not charging fast enough there is no harm in going with a higher mA rating

Ok thanks Im sure the 1200 will be fast enough the stock charger is 1000mA. as long as its safe.
Now a stem question.
Should I go with the PVHE 4 hole or turbo?
Im looking to get the 14 mm GonG and also the bent stem turbo or no turbo?
And do i really need the stealth stem if Im getting the GonG?

I ordered a PVHES 14mm Turbo a few days ago, which I plan on using both via mouth and via glassware, eliminating my need to buy a bent. For me, I chose the turbo version because PlanetVape produces them 100%, and they have better tolerances during manufacturing, so you get a better fit than the Arizer/4Hole version.
The stealth stem is up to you, but you could just use the 14mm GonG as a mouthpiece instead of the stealth. If you do decide you want the stealth stem, I'd wait until they release the HES version (They're out of stock atm anyways).

The Stealth Adapter is to help camouflage the Solo in a cup.
I'm really enjoying the Turbo 14mm PVHEGonG. Like Armerad, I've always used my GonGs as mouthpieces. The 14mm Turbo GonG is a good general stem because it will easily fit in any GonG (with the aid of reducers), it's not too large to use for direct draw, and because there is no glass screen it' easy to clean.
edit: Here's my recent impression of the new PVHEGonG/Turbo:
I got my order from PV today. I'll update impressions as I use them.
The glass on the new PVHEGonG seems thicker, though they fit fairly loose. I had thought the goal was to make the stems fit tighter, but I see now that a looser fit was the goal. I've had better experience with tighter fitting stems. On the bright side, they slide very easily into the Solo, unlike my tight fitting 18mm PVHEGonG.
edit: Turbo airflow seems marginally better than normal PVHES. Turbo bowl size is (only just) slightly larger than a glass screen stem. Until the Signature Series is released, I think the Turbo screen is the best option for a PVHES. The glass screen on my stems is always the hardest part to clean. Now I can just pop a new screen in with each cleaning and q-tip the rest.

I have been using my new power adapter the past few days and really enjoy it. An added bonus to using it seems to be that my Solo runs hotter. My 6 setting is giving me nice dark brown ABV like 7 would give me with no power adapter. When I use concentrates I am getting longer sessions than before with just battery power. I also got a 18 PVHE GonG, straight PVHES, and a shorty PVHES from PV, getting ready to try those out tonight.

I've noticed this also. I love how it resets to Level 1 after 12 minutes instead of shutting off. Getting back up to temperature takes no time at all!

Awesome, I had no idea about this feature. Even more excited for my PA now, that means it's only one button press to get to vaping for a great desktop experience.
