Love the damn solo.

I thought I was getting sick of it but really its just that i had one stem that was really gimy and nasty and just tasted funny no matter how much you cleaned it.

I got 10 bent stems in the mail today, ripped open the box and packed one, oh my god I forgot how good this vape makes my flowers taste.

this and vapman are all i truly need :) and plenty of stems so when one gets too gross I can just smash it.....

No need to do that, your friends here can do it for you. Glad to help out......

I heard that while HH has never broken one, he did lose one one time. But when he got back home again there was a stem in the Solo box.........which he, of course loaded and used (still not knowing what happened to the original). Only next day, when he checked again because the story seemed so incredible and all.....yep, another new spare was in the box. Not only has he never broken one, but he lost one and has a free spare as backup right now........maybe a lifetime supply for all we know.

Anyone else hear that story?

Ok, ok......I give. I never broke one. Bring on the karma!!!! Is this how @ataxian got started?

You can make some nice influenced hot chocolate when you cook the used stem in some milk.:drool::drool: But be careful, it can hit hard if the stem is good used!
Or soak it in a jar filled with iso and earn the resin later. I'm doing this since several month with my 5 solo stems, nice way to keep them clean and earn some goodies. Last week I've bought some glass MFLB stems to use at home with my GH and vapman. Now I can collect even more of this nice honey.

Vapes R Great
I'm always worried one will break as I like to tap the warm stem on the edge of the unit to dump out the avb after a session. Yeah I probably just cursed myself but a broken stem is the least of my worries when you think about it. I seem to be more careful when medicated... well up until a certain level of medicated at least haha!

Glass breakage is why every Solo or AA owner needs to make sure they have a least on wooden stem or WonG from @Ed's TnT . You never know when "oh shit" happens.

Once I was watching something scary on TV and I jumped and broke a water tube - it was probably late at night and I was pretty medicated. That's usually when most glass breaks at night, medicated. When you least expect it. My wood floors are pretty unforgiving.

The vapor is hot two steps up. I think it would work decently at the same temp or one higher just as long as I inhale slowly.
When I use the Solo dry and for higher temperatures, I draw with my mouth half on the stem and half inhaling fresh air. Like this I get a slow draw and with the fresh air it is not so harsh and hot.

The bent stem fell on the floor and broke. I repaired it with RTV silicone, now it is my backup.
For travel I put the straight stem in a housing from a high voltage cable. The housing is flexible and keeps the stem secured, I have painted it black for better look.

Here's some of my stems. Theres a tube plastic container is what the Enano stems come in. They work perfect for the straight stems and the vortex. I have the vortex stem in the one below. Being plastic it's not like glass against glass with the other glass containers that you can get off @PlanetVape. It's mostly Ascent and Solo stems. My other ones are in a different container. Love accessories, but not just jewelry.

9 out of 10 Solo tubes I break are bent tubes. No discussion on broken glass is complete without a picture of my broken Laceface.

I tried to clean my SOLO BUBBLE however I stopped before I broke everything!
I have a friend!
We could fill trash cans full of glass.
Like a lame brain I was doing to much shatter now I can't clean the drips?
Colored glass (heady) I love but always break it?

I found 14mm Solo Gongs on DHGATE, are they trustworthy?

I have been buying Planet Vape gear for years but its just glass thats gonna break sooner or later. If i don't break em I lose em.

Whethere they fit the solo bowl properly is my bigger concern!

I bought a few however I broke them all.
My plan is to make unbreakable GonG's and STEMS.
I'm a lazy person or i would have made some long ago??

They work however I prefer the planet vapes PHVES for my pleasure.

Others have tried to reproduce the PHVES characteristic's however used thin glass.

I will make unbreakable parts one day.
Maybe not all HOMO SAPIENS have developed yet?

The SOLO is great however the GonG's and STEMS are LAME!

They all work but losing or breaking is a constant struggle?
Financially I spent more on parts than vaporizers?

Like tooth brushes.
It's the tooth paste that keeps running out.

What I say does not matter.
I'm stubborn because I thought for a portable the SOLO is pretty solid.
The GonG's and STEM's are glass?

If I find the right material for a non swelling inert material to make part's.
Then again it's just me that breaks glass?

A lot of people lose it so it doesn't matter.

FLAVOR my problem. (can not effect taste)

Glass is class however there's got to be other materials we can use?

I know you dont like wood. What about stainless steel? do you notice the change/addition of taste with that material?

It's just me!

I have wood but it effects the flavor. (to me)
I don't like material that swells either.
My LOTUS wpa is stainless and is unbreakable.
All my SOLO parts are broke.

I use other vaporizers that don't require a GonG.

TI2 I will try and SS.
I have some nylon and various composites to try as well.
I ordered some glass tips.
Stain steel with a glass tip might be simple however effective.
Just change the glass tip instead of the whole part?

UNDERDOG seems to have figured it out as ALLEN has?
I thought planet vapes would get it?

Now I want to ask Alan if he can make me a solo stem....

Maybe Underdog could do it if asked???

I don't like the flavor effect of wood either so wood on steel is a no go for me too.

The wood mouthpieces and WonGs take on the flavor of the various cannabis favors that you are using.

The wood fills that niche for me when I need a garden vaporizer that is rugged and I don't have to worry about glass. If I drop the Solo along with the stem no problemo.

When you need to clean them use a type of alcohol spirits like rum or your favorite whisky. For a little while the wood takes on that rum or whisky flavor. I use a Q-tip with my WonG. Then I let it dry after. I use beeswax to condition the outside of the wood.

We are all different. I don't know if I would like stainless steel as well.

STAINLESS is what goes against the Heating element of a SOLO.
I say just use the stainless part with a glass mouth-piece.

I like CIVILIZED!
I see it different.
