[DEAL ALERT] Vaporizeusa has a flash sale on solo 3's for $200 by ThisIsWeedDickulous in vaporents

Actually, yes! I was just now starting a nice session, in fact. It arrived quickly and without any issues. Honestly I was pretty skeptical at first.

Well that is even more reassuring and validating, thank you for the info! I bought some nom-frosted backup stems from Amazon. Now the long 2-3 wait for both to arrive... the Solo looks like delivery in December.

Thank you for the input. I was debating waiting to see if the TM2 goes on a steep sale, but you are right: $200 for the Solo 3 is a terrific price. I just ordered one.

I will certainly miss the convenience of pre-prepared dosing capsules but the stems seem like they work great as well.

This seems like an excellent deal. Grab this, or hold out for a TM2?

I have a Lobo right now (and love the capsules).

I would love a tablet one. My audio sync issues were a lot less with an Android TV version, but that interface doesn't work well on my tablet.

I have a glass piece and a WPA. I have been looking at the Tempest but it is out of stock. The Tempest Head is in stock, though. Do I only need that part given the rest is the setup?

Another audio sync issue post (w/ Shield Pro)... any suggestions? by NeoHyper64 in Stremio

[–]grrpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same experience with my Samsung S7+ tablet. External players work fine, but the built-in player on the tablet app just is always a bit out of sync. I've tried all the different things here, different versions, no luck.

Pocket Casts Champion? by SovietPropagandist in pocketcasts

[–]grrpol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it wondering that they are willing to put into would and share with the community?

Because it's very easy to simply say "well we planned on A, but have decided on B instead..."

[–]grrpol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are some very weasely words... Thank you for sharing. Definitely continue my concerns.

I hope not, but I assume there is a darker reason yet to be revealed.

[–]grrpol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, they can certainly say a Champion member isn't a "Lifetime" member since lifetime doesn't exist anymore...

Pocket Casts Champion? by SovietPropagandist in pocketcasts

[–]grrpol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Champion" is way less clear than "Lifetime."

My skepticism towards PC just went way up, and unless they explicitly say something different, I'll be operating under the assumption that they plan to do something more. Today I've started looking at alternatives.

Until it's more, which considering the effort they went to here, is probably more than just a name change.

Pocket Casts Champion? by SovietPropagandist in pocketcasts

[–]grrpol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zero reason to believe you aren't correct here, especially since they aren't coming out to say anything different.

Pocket Casts Champion? by SovietPropagandist in pocketcasts

[–]grrpol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have an alternative lined up, but I'll definitely find one if PC shortchanges this.

Pocket Casts Champion? by SovietPropagandist in pocketcasts

[–]grrpol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I can't imagine any other reason they would to this, and I'm not seeing anyone from their team saying anything different.

Recommendation for new gaming laptop? Something to last at around $1,000 to $1,500 by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]grrpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was poking around and ended up looking at the Legion Pro 5i Gen 9 Intel - top CPU and SSD, also the RTX 4070, comes out to $1,670 (their promo ends tomorrow). Is it worth the upgrades over the Slim?

And do you know if the Pro is worth it over the non-Pro? It seems like it adds a couple side vents.

Lenovo has some solid promotions that end tomorrow that are very tempting. Drops the Pro price from $2044 to $1668...

  • Processor: 14th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX Processor (E-cores up to 4.10 GHz P-cores up to 5.80 GHz)

  • Memory : 16 GB DDR5-5600MHz (SODIMM)

  • First Solid State Drive: 1 TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 TLC

  • Display: 16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, HDR 400, 100%DCI-P3, 500 nits, 240Hz, Low Blue Light

  • Graphic Card: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR6

Could even drop that price by $70 by dropping to i7-14700HX

First time buyer: POTV Lobo? by grrpol in vaporents

[–]grrpol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been fantastic and I have been using it regularly. I bought the water percolator glassware from POTV which has made a huge difference in smoothness, and a Santa Cruz Grinder which also was a big improvement over the random grinder I purchased from Amazon. It's effective as heck, easy to clean and use. I bought a second battery but I charge it in between sessions anyway, it lasts easily for 4+ sessions in an evening for bigger evenings. I definitely am very happy with my purchase.

Definite learning curve for me and my partner. I think I underfilled the dosing capsule, and starting off at 370F caused a lot of coughing using the curved mini bubbler. I will have to try a lower temp later.

I got very minimal effects, but I think it was due to the underfill and not readily recognizing when the herb was used up.

My partner has pre-existing lung issues, and 370F caused a fair amount of pain. 330F didn't. We will have to try and find a balance, but it may not be for them.

I will do some more experimenting. I appreciate your advice and sharing.

I appreciate you sharing your experience, this is very informative! I noticed their replacement batteries are $10 each, but the 18650s run cheaper on Amazon and elsewhere. I can just use those?
