Hey, Folks. Got my Sole today and have spent a few hours getting to know it. First, the positives. Although I haven't really been drawn to this style, I think it's a pretty nice-looking PV. I love the color (I got the red), and its shape and size give it a sort of elegance. It's comfortable to hold, and I like the large, concave button. The tank is easy to fill, the mouthpiece is much more comfortable than I thought it would be, and the flavor is surprisingly good. Now if only ...
Here are the negatives: The obvious one is the charger - that pin's gotta go. My first thought was to charge the battery on a wall wart plugged into a power strip so that could sit upright on the pin, but that wouldn't be a very true-to-life test for me. Aside from the fact that it would mean crawling under my desk 2 or 3 times a day, in "real life," I just wouldn't use anything that required that kind of delicate handling (I wouldn't use it for long, anyway). Between the clumsiness and the ADD, my gear has to be able to withstand a certain amount of banging around and haphazard treatment, and that would include charging the batt at whatever source was handy at the moment. So instead of the power strip, I plugged it into my laptop and just let it sort of sag over the side. The fact that the pin didn't snap off was surprising, but not particularly encouraging; it will happen.
The other negative is the power. For all the juice-hogginess of the tank, the vapor was not great and I got almost no throat hit using 18 mg, 65/35 PG/VG juice. Maybe the ohm rating for the tank is too high, but the batt just didn't have enough punch to be satisfying.
Bottom line: For me, the negatives outweigh the positives. I really do like the look of it, but the vape just doesn't suit me, and sooner or later (but probably sooner), I WILL break it.

Surely you didn't take me literally. I totally hope he can get some chill out time, I understand he's swamped with this sudden bombardment of goodies. I even offered to help if there's any way I can at all.
