Thanks OB I'm cool mateWorks fine for me with the IC, I think it's simply a matter of temp and prep. I now have a Solo 3 V2, using a ball stem identical to yours and a longer one ( also works well in an xl wpa), all XL. I think your temp is too low, meaning it melts but does not evaporate and boil off before it runs where it shouldn't.
Usual sandwich with a rimless cup screen at the bottom. I use tiny rolled pieces, I make a short thin snake then break it into tiny pieces, not too much! More green than IC. All very lightly pressed down, at least 2mm from top.
Preheat the Solo for at least 3 minutes after firing up and leave it standing with the top cover moved over so there is an air gap of about 25%. Temp I start at 195c. Slide the stem in whilst all is upside down, after that do not move the Solo and stem from the horizontal, very important.
The green vapes first, in maybe one or two pulls, I pause the heat and have a breath for a minute. Fire up again and increase the heat slowly or fast to 210- 220c whatever you are comfortable with. Let it heat for a few minutes keeping horizontal, slow long tokes.
Does it for me with no extra mess. The flower soaks up the melt. Shout if you need more help mate!
PS slept like a lorry load of logs!

What are you likeBig up the coffee
3 days off for me so coffee with Capuccinno and cursing having an extra hour in bed missing what I had in mind from the pharmacy.
I mentioned the price of mig wire yesterday but omitted the bit where I have a 0.6mm tip in the welder and the new wire's 0.8mm, I'd 2 spare tips and have snapped a drill off in both trying to make them bigger, looks like a 9 mile round trip back to Toolstation for a pack of 0.8mm tips is on the cards...
