I hope they will fit in my Solos. I had a very bad experience with a stuck battery, as you may recall. ;) But you and others in the Shiny thread saved my mod--but not the battery. :lol:
They fit fine in my Solo's. I remember your stuck battery adventure very well. The o-ring that somehow came off the battery cap was the problem. Stupid o-ring. :)

That was an adventure. :D

Funny thing is, the o-ring survived intact, but the battery wrap got damaged. Go figure.

Above and beyond. Thanks much, SMT.

Why is that o-ring there, anyway? I don't need a water proof mod... Maybe I should just take it out? Thoughts?

    That's good news. I have pretty much given up on them--one order lost and two canceled due to low inventory/no inventory/shifting shipping dates.

    I hope that's not the case with me. My Topside dual squonker was supposed to ship yesterday and now the status is "restocking". I normally have quit ordering from FT, but I had a coupon code for $9 off the black model.

    You're welcome.

    Right, that o-ring is there to seal the battery compartment in case the Solo gets dropped in water (your pool, or the Pacific ;)).

    For giggles science, I just took the o-ring off of mine. Solo still works perfectly fine. Battery cap screws on easier without the o-ring.

    I wish you luck--it's a total crapshoot with FT as of late. At least that's been my experience. But if you're in no hurry, they'll get your order out, eventually. Fingers crossed.

    o_O You did? I hope you like it. Brunhilde is super easy to setup.

    I posted basic setup info for it in the Shiny thread yesterday for newyork13 who also just bought one. Maybe you will find it helpful. Shinyitis Support Group
    I saw that and keeping in mind.

    Yeah. I have one in rotation without the o-ring but wasn't sure if it was OK to take it out. Not sure what its function is. If it's only waterproofing, I don't need it.

    My process with a new tank is this. Remove from box and study. Take apart and study again. Coil,wick,and try out. If this doesn’t work as planned I look at instructions which really aren’t helpful as a rule. If instructions are helpful I start from beginning. This usually is the end of it. If a problem persists I come here.

    My process with a new tank (before ordering one):

    1. Read every review/mention/complaint about the tank here.
    2. Check all the YouTube reviews and written reviews (twice if possible).
    3. Add to list.
    4. Ask questions here--Random thread and Shiny thread, chiefly.
    5. Revise list.
    6. Place an order.
    7. Upon arrival, open the box, look at the tank, put it back in the box. :D

    I ordered an Brunhilde MTL tank. If I hate it I will piff.

    I can’t work under a mag light. I’ve tried more than once and failed. I ordered a pair of mag glass with 5 sets of lenses in different strengths.

    What color did you order? If you hate it, I’ll buy it from you. After all I did enable you just a little.

    I’ll definitely buy it if you don’t like it. The blue is really sharp. I’m thinking about adding a silver and gunmetal to my collection of one but haven’t decided yet.
