- arizer error 7 fix solo ii
We're not communicating well here I fear. What are you calling the 'brace ring' (their term...)? I believe it's the soft ring you're worried about. It snaps over the nut like piece with the 3 ribs that screws on the white body. The bottom piece in the photo I posted:
The soft 'doughnut' that snaps over the lip on the part above it with the seals. You can see the lip on the top of the part with the seals.
The stem alignment is controlled by those 3 ribs. Not the oven body, hole in the cap or the 'brace ring' we're discussing. The place the oven 'lands' is subject to all kinds of 'tolerance buildup' from the body is bolted to what's below it, and how that attaches on down to the bottom where it then depends on the tube and top plate (and the screws) to get back to the top. The 'Holy Point" in the alignement is that nut with the ribs, everything else is relative to it.
Yes, you could demand extreme precision with all the rest of the parts and end up with very good alignment, but sound engineering/cost control calls for keeping tolerances wide as possible considtent with performance of the completed unit. In short they could make it perfect (or nearly so) but you wouldn't be willing to pay for it?
Arizer has a long history of sound products, IMO they know what they're up to. Design and manufacture. You'll notice very very few problems with Solo and Air. Almost zero 'out of box failures'. Even the battery packs seem to defy the numbers. The could always blow Beta testing and release a turkey of course, it's just the odds are very low. And they could ship you a reject unit, but those odds are mighty long as well. Not impossible, of course, but far less likely than other explanations.
If it were mine I'd have already 'overcharged before first use' and be enjoying it......and probably have more to offer the discussion?
Your call.

Yes, I did not understand correctly, sorry but my english is not good, I help with translators :-)
Yes, what you say I think is correct, what Arizer call "brace ring" should be the upper piece that you say.
Ok, I will try to see how the stems will be straight in the chamber, after removing the small shaving, charging the device and doing some ignition with nothing.
Anyway, I know that extreme precision is not necessary, and I understand that the alignment is all relative to the "nut with ribs".
But, if it were possible for someone else, I would be happy if I could see more device for comparison.
However, I already know the Solo 1, I had the pleasure to try it few days.
I really liked it, that's why I decided to buy the Solo 2.
Then, meanwhile I can share my opinion about the Solo 1 (the Solo 2 seems just an improvement at what was already a great product, in the few aspects where it was lacking).
I start saying that I own : a Mighty Storz and Bickel, a Vapcap omnivap Ti (I had also the OG in glass but is broken), a Vaponic, an MFLB.
I tried a Firefly 2 and a Volcano.
I think that for my needs, the Solo 1 it's the best vaporizer that I tried (I think ... until I don't try the Solo 2 :-) ).
And it's the best also for the efficiency , look at this link ;-) :
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0147286
The taste is phenomenal, the vapour stays gentle in the stem waiting for you to pull (and if you use the cap over the stem it's even better), and if you are gentle with the temperature, a session lasts long.
Considering how little you put in (you can use whole nuggets optimally), you understand why the research in the link above has that extraordinary results of efficiency.
In comparison with my Mighty, I can say that it taste better, use better the material, and has approximately the same battery life, but has a slightly lower building quality.
In my opinion the Mighty has a plastic flavor, but, with the excellent capsules system (where you also puts less material, and leave the chamber clean) and his robustness, it's a great travel companion.
I love the Vaponic, it's very efficient and the taste it's sublime, the taste is better than the Solo in my opinion (is the only one that I think is even better than the Solo), it's really only glass in all air path except for the screen (a small and butane version of the Vapexhale EVO :-) ) . Unfortunately is a little empirical to use (I like to use it warming up a little at a time, tasting it slowly until steam comes out) , and for this and the fact that is glass, is not too much portable, it's better to use when you're comfortable at home, the chamber capacity is very low, but you can use whole nuggets with excellent results.
The Vapcap could be the final word on the butane system vape, but I don't like too much the taste of the Omnivap Ti (I have not tried it too much yet), and the session if you are not careful is too fast.
While the OG, that in my opinion is better than the Omnivap, is still not as good and not exploitable as the Vaponic.
Although I have to say it is handy to use, but I have not yet had a way of finding the best use.
Finally, for my needs would be better the Firefly 2, but actually it is not what it seems, I did not like it, in my opinion is much publicity but not working well.
I would prefer an "on demand" vape, but you could use the Solo removing the tube between hits ... although a bit complicated.
Thanks again for your explanations about the oven of your Air.

Blasted a couple bowls in the long stem with the included screens. Didn't get that good of a experience, thinner, harsher vaporizer than I remember from old solo. Seems strange since I always used domed screens in my Air/solo and didn't notice this.
Then this morning tried again with short stem and no screen. Much better vaping session.
Still a lot of testing to do. It's been at least a year since I have used arizer vapes so need to adjust from the S&B signature.
Will probably be buying some PV stems. I still have the vortex gong I found (YES) in my vape stash.
Airflow you can now hear when sucking from the larger air intake.
Draw is still a bit tight
I wish the temperature could scroll fast in single digits instead of having to click every time or the 10 sec jump when you hold. (Setting to change this maybe)
Being able to,dim the screen brightness is a nice feature
You still get best results by following similar protocol to OG Solo by lightly packing and letting heatsink for a bit. But the heater rips non stop now and it outside body does not get hot, battery lasts forever, can use while charging. This vape is a tank.

I received my Solo II Mystic Blue yesterday and i'm very impressed with the whole package. I've had an Air for awhile which I really like so made the jump to this new unit. I had an issue which came up that I couldn't resolve on my own and contacted the seller, Agracan. They were extremely helpful and after a couple of phone calls we resolved the issue. Big thumbs up to Agracan and will definitely support them in the future.
I have a number of other vapes, but I can already tell this is going to be a winner.

Wow I just put the first stem in my blue Solo2. Background is I have been using Crafty but just got an MVT (unregulated wood 18650) a couple weeks ago. Now my blue Solo2 is here. Vaporizers are like lovers. 
Sometimes the first time is the best experience; but sometimes it just keeps getting better.
I normally use .07 gram per session. With the Crafty it is gone in about 5-6 draws for me. The MVT with a .07 gram load takes me 6 draws, then stir and 6 more draws. I hated to put the MVT aside after only 2 weeks; because my experiences with it were getting better. But the Solo2 siren song drew me.
After topping the Solo2 battery and doing 5 burn offs I loaded a stem with .014 gram and set it to 175c. I used the short stem with no screen and started drawing; turning the stem a bit after each draw. I think I did 11-12 total draws. I had read that you can get many draws with a load in the Solo. I expected to stir and vape again later; but I pulled the stem out and the ABV was still in the furnace and was pretty well spent. I think it fell out of the stem as I pulled it out. I should have turned the Solo2 upside down to pull the stem.
So I accidentally vaporized a double load by mistake. The draw is not quite as open as the draw of the Crafty; but the flavor does hold up for more draws on the Solo2. Next time I will start at an even lower temperature and then boost it up for a couple more draws. I will vary the load size and my draw rate and find the perfect fit with my new Solo2 vaporizer (lover).
I will take a nap now.

I assume you meant .17 grams? .014 would be 1/5 (20%) of the normal load and impressive indeed.
I generally think the stem holds .25 give or take if you work at it. Many of us use the domed screens so the normal Solo (or Air) stem is about 1/8 gram (.125 grams). For some this is a nearly ideal load, good for a full session, letting you start with a fresh stem each time. For some of us, it can sometimes be two sessions (16 sessions to the gram).
And then we have Ataxian.......

That tight draw is because of this holes in The stem being so small. I had the same experience and I busted out my bendy solo stem which has holes damn near 3 times the size of the ones the solo2 came with. Best session is with the bigger holes stems, finely ground and firmly packed. Not smashed. Just lightly pressed to where ur weed won't fall out when you turn it over. Just my
based on experience.Also I agree completely in the battery, damn things a tank. Let out over charge overnight and I woke up at 6 and changed the sessions to 15 minutes and began doing burnoffs,I did about 4 before getting on the highway and lighting a bowl so to speak. Sour tangie burned for about 25 minutes. Had another bowl of sour tangie about 30 minutes later that also lasted about 20ish minutes. Just had Another bowl that lasted well past the first 15 minute timeout and it's still not at half battery. Very happy aside from the 3 milkshake straws lol. Might have to look into that drill bit shit to make them bigger. Lol
Didn't realize how long this post got. My bad. Like I said, I Just finished a bowl haha

I'm really digging the old Solo OG curved stem in the Solo 2. I start at 180 c and after about 5 tasty hits I bump up to 190 take a few more hits , and eventually end at 200 C . I lose track after 10 hits lol but the taste keeps on lasting with this vape.

My friend came over and we did so many stems last night ... probably 4 back to back with different stems n bubblers n temps then I did about 3 on my own.
This thing shines at lower temps so far for me. Did a low temp sesh this moEven starting 350 gives you some nice clouds. Ended on 370.
Abv ending on 370:
Some abv over the night:

Nice!, I love using this vape on low temp and with the F Bomb...So smooth...Definitely a keeper. At 350 F, I find the Citrusy flavor of my herb just amazing!

I really want the curved stem ... the straight can give me some irritation on the higher temps.

Ooooo very true! I doubt I'll be able to find one but I'll check!!
Randy @PuffItUp can hook it up with the bendy stem. I get one from him damn near every other month lol. The ones I've got from him recently have the bigger airflow holes so it pairs very well with the solo2.

I just put that bitch on 410 and let it run from the get go. Tastes fucking delicious.

I went from a pax 2 to a Mighty and love it. The biggest issue with the mighty is that I don't feel I get enough draws from the material I pack. I hot much more draws from pax 2 then Mighty. I had the original solo as my first vape and I wanted to know how much draws can you get from a packed bowl/stem

Woah, what do you do will all those stems?

Before the burn off I wiped my bowl with ISO.
5 burn off this morning I let it charge over night
Battery life is amazing so far.
I.notice both old and new solo use 12 volts to charge
If I used the OG charger on the solo ll would that mess with the battery?
I know it would take longer because of the amp difference but should still charge with no problem?

It's probably fine, lithium ion battery paraphernalia tends to be pretty smart to insure no explosions occur. But if neither the charger or battery is smart (has circuit regulating current) worst case is you'll burn out your charger.

Haven't checked but Arizer may have a warranty clause forbidding use of other chargers.
Lmao. It's not literally every other month. I may have exaggerated that. But I have one, my brother and best friend each have their own air and we all prefer the bendy stem.so when I order I order 2-3 at a time. I've had a bad luck with arizer glass lol. So fucking fragile, I swear I had a horrible run last yr where I know between me and brother we broke like 4-5 stems in a span of 2-3 months, thankfully it's been a while haha. Plus I like to keep a backup just in case I break one
