When I said different I meant different to the vapes the OP already has, the MFLB and the pax1.
In terms of you saying neither vape contain O rings don't most people refer to the rubber bits that grip the stem as O rings?
Is there any downsides to taking the vape apart like yours? Any unnecessary stress or possibility of damaging anything?
Thanks
I think he knows how different the 3 vapes (Solo, MFLB, and PAX) are from first hand experience. No need for outside opinions. The important part, I think, is 'if you didn't like Solo, you'll probably not like Air (even more)'?
I get that lost of guys make the mistake about o-rings, but it is a mistake. O-rings are different. I think we should try to spread accurate information if/when we can. The idea is to make ourselves informed consumers. There are no o-rings, but rather 3 ribs in the seal. O-rings are defined (by 'dash numbers' in SAE) by material, diameter (either ID or OD) and cord (minor diameter of the ring). They are separate pieces, like what we add to Solo, not like the seals in Air. There's also a flat seal on the top, but that too is not an o-ring.
Aside from blowing your warranty and maybe damaging the plastic screw holes or loosing the tiny screws that go in them. I also had a burr on my heat shield that prevented putting it back on until I'd dressed that down (no problem if you have the right file set handy). Without that you'd be SOL if yours also had the burr.
OTOH, IMO there's nothing at all to be gained in exchange. You can't modify or replace anything (even if you had the parts, you need considerable soldering skills to work on the oven). Until Arizer sells us new sealss and other parts and modifies the warranty conditions I seriously recommend against doing this......which is why I posted the photo originally (to show nothing to gain), I still feel the same about that. I planned to void my warranty for the sake of science as it were, but cannot encourage others to do so. Nothing to gain and you can pretty easily screw it up.
You're welcome.
