Are they the standard 18650 batts . used ?
They seem to indicate not so: "High power, high quality, long-life Li-ion batteries, made specifically for use with the Arizer Air."
It looks like a 18650, but could also be say 17670. Not that some makers might use an odd size to lock you into buying from them, but some makers might use an odd size to lock you into buying from them.
charger included. importantly, battery is protected or not?
That's not how I read it, I think they're talking the same sort of charger included with Solo, not a stand alone unit like with say Cera or Delta 9 (or whatever the current name is) products. My guess is you'd need an aftermarket charger if you don't want to charge in your unit?
The protected thing is an excellent question, IMO. I can see advantages 'both ways'.
Time will tell.
I wonder how long until PIU and PV have them in stock......and were their price will 'settle out'.
Fun stuff. I'm still wondering if the stems interchange with Solo?
This is a problem for colour-blind users and makes me re-think my reply to
@dr demise earlier in the thread. He was unhappy about the lack of an LCD display and I didn't see what the benefit would be. Now I do.
As a color blind guy, I fully agree here. I, like most color blind guys (and it's almost zero women.....) I have red/green issues. Meaning step 3 and 5 will appear the same.
This is a serious handicap for some (many are more extreme than I am), IMO almost insulting. It's not at all uncommon, there are about the same number of left handed men as red/green color blind ones (8 to 10% of the general population), how many left handed men do you know?
This is not a secret, competent engineering and marketing types should have considered it (although they may have simply written us off?).
It's clear to me that none of them work for Arizer, nor IMO to they really pay attention to this part of the market. Very disappointing, really. Not at all 'user friendly' but it does have bling.
Time will tell.
