I am not active at this time on 420 Magazine for various reasons. That said, I track the indicators of what's happening in the "War on Drugs" and the political and social implications of that "war" as well as the same for it's upcoming legalization/decriminalization in the individual states of...

Thanks Demp5294, that's good information to have. So when I rebuild my vaporizer (I suppose at that point it won't really be a Vaporite product, per se) I should ensure not only precision temp readout, but stable thermal control to keep the temperature tight. No-one wants the smell of burnt...

It appears in my particular case that the initial burnout damaged the board traces a bit. When I got my new capacitor in place, I had no power at all. I examined the board, reinserted the capacitor in the opposite direction (in case polarity mattered, I couldn't find any indication these were...

Can't recollect if the big capacitor's value has been posted, but it's: 4.7 uF 250V MPP capacitor. In Words that's: Four Point Seven Micro-Farad, Two Hundred Fifty Volt rated Multi-Poly-Propylene capacitor. And the resistor as mentioned above is 47 Ohm (but most places you're going to do...

Your timing couldn't have been better! My wife just asked me about whether or not I can hook these HUGE things into the Vaporite Solo housing on the board. Yes, please take some snaps if you don't mind. That would be great. I also noted that the 100 Ohm 1 Watt resistor I tried allowed the...

This is welcome news and information! :goodjob: As my intent is to build a better unit, this will be very helpful. Just to be clear, you replaced yours with a 10 Watt unit, correct? And that resulted in a still functional vaporizer? (I presume so, otherwise you might be telling me another...

Anyone that has a WORKING Vaporite Solo that is OUT OF WARRANTY who has a digital camera and is willing to open their unit, having a photo of the front side of the board with the components on it would be a great help in verifying the resistor that seems to be burning out next to that big brown...

Sorry OldOneEye, I can't tell you the value of the resistor, as mine fried in the same manner as yours -- only without the melted BAC (Big Ass Capacitor) on yours. I'm guessing from what I can make out of the resistor code that remains that it's somewhere between an 71 -- 118 Ohm 1 Watt...
