waaaaat... that sounds like a big flaw with the charging stand, heh. At least you got a charging stand thoI will tell you how it works ,if they ever release the bitch.............only $99, so it's worth a shot.
Yeah I got the new piece from pax and the issue started again, it must be cleaned/lubed properly which isn't for lazy people, I'm being a little dramatic too............the biggest flaw is the charging stand, which allows all the gunk to run into the "electronics", once flipped 180 degrees it alleviates most of the issues; can thank some stoner I met @ a party for that gem.
I never buy the first run of an electronic product.......like others to do the beta test for me..........ha
A related addendum on the solo-
I forgot to mention another drawback on the solo is that even though it's got a traditional A/C plugin, it can only charge from the 12v transformer included.. supposedly it will "heat @9v" (I assume this means power instead of charge) as well, (says so on the bottom next to the hole you plug it into) but it only comes with a 12v transformer. This seems a little fundamentally unthoughtful designwise, and it's proven inconvenient literally every day because I always kill the battery at least once a day and have to let it recharge. It doesn't recharge super fast either, takes a few hours.
I bought a car transformer for it (which would be 9v so should provide heat instead of charge according to the little label) but I haven't tried it yet because I was thinking it was a charger... i'll give it a try, it would be cool to be able to try it as a "plugged in vape" instead of relying on the batteries, if it really does as I think the label intends to indicate...
Anyway--the basic tenet of the design I'm describing would of course be normal if it was a cradle situation... I wouldn't expect to be able to hit it while it's sitting in the cradle charging... but when they make it an A/C cord with a plug on the bottom it really feels like I should be able to plug it in and just go, maybe even while it's charging the battery too... but maybe that's asking too much of the parameters of the situation electronics-wise, I have no idea.
Anyway, it bugs me constantly because when I kill a battery mid session I either have to go smoke or wait a few hours before I can get a good session in. Especially sucks if I just happen to forget to plug it in at night and don't think of it til I want it the next day, haha. I'm getting real good at staying on top of it, but it is inconvenient, like having to set an alarm clock or load the coffee machine before bed or whatever.
i actually have an old 9v adapter around here somewhere, but I chopped off the end to attach it to a fan for a chamber, haha. Damn. I am gonna try it in the car... maybe it will prove convnicing enough to get me to drive that car down to radioshack and buy a 9v wall wart, heh.
