I get 4.78" high and 1.14" in diameter on my calipers.... SO what OF said
Hey, don't try to hang that on me (too). I didn't start it, I'm just repeating what I read on the web......
OF: does your little water tool with the PVH Gong? I Just love this little tool but my PVH Gong is just so amazing. And how are you and how was your 4/20?
Yes, I managed with two different size pieces of tubing The 'right size' could work better (one piece) by going over the outside instead.
However, once you have a PV GonG on it, R-Bomb/PNWT (or clone) becomes a good option too I think......although spilling is an issue and some of us loose focus sometimes......
Excellent weather here. Thanks for asking. Spent some time supervising in the garden. No doubt about it, spring is here. Now, if they'll only let us have some water..........
How's smoothness on the Air. Is this basically same as solo as far as performance goes?
Yup, that's my take. IMO put the same stem in each and blindfold a guy and he'll be hard pressed to tell the difference unless you let him touch.
Basically one is half size, has fewer features and runs half as long between charges. It does, also, allow for battery swapping, useful sometimes IMO. By keeping track I've only swapped once intentionally and once by accident (not as good at counting to four as I thought......it went dark several minutes into what must have been the fifth session.
Some guys get all excited about tight stem fit, I'm not one of them. Bottom line if you like one, you'll like the other. Many/most will profess a preference, but IMO the difference is swamped by strain, grind, packing, temperature step, and so on.
How you hit it can affect your timed results though. I think the way
@OF does it is leave the cap off and just it in open air while timing.
Guilty. After a few trials it was the only way to get
repeatable results. You get more sessions per charge, but they repeat well and the relative measure is I think valid. IIRC you get about twice the sessions as you'd normally expect (making vapor and drawing cold air in), that is 'two sessions per battery step' on Solo with top open on step 7. Normally I get one per step making vapor, give or take.
There's another way to attack battery capacity we can exploit here. We can use a USB (or similar) and a 'capacity meter' (really an integrating counter). There are several common ones around (and lots of less useful 'voltage and current' only ones), this is the one I'm using:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-USB-Cha...237?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item418cc51045
It displays voltage and current on the top row (current in 10mA steps) in the usual manner. Under that, however, is a running count of mAh actually delivered since last reset. In single mAh up to 20,000. There are ten memories, the button to the right of the window changes to the next one (and zero count). You can review them too, of course. They (totals) are automatically saved on power down, so the testing can continue. It's good for 3 to 7 Volts, so 5 is ideal. With it you can discharge to lock out, then measure the total capacity put in to reach cutoff at the top. Simple and it turns out pretty accurate.
With a little bit of tinkering you can rig it to measure discharges or work at other voltages.
Fun (and useful) part.
