Worth the price coming from a Pax 3?

EDIT: I was a Solo OG owner and it was a 10/10 experience for me, just curious if the price is worth it. The Pax should've easily been alot cheaper than it retails for imo.

How do you do, fellow kids?

I'm really enjoying this thread! I joined FC the day I bought my MFLB back in 2011, and have since purchased an Arizer V-Tower and an Arizer Solo. Even though I only bought my Solo 1.5 years ago, I will definitely be picking up this new model later this month, as it's my daily driver.

Can anyone speak to the accuracy of the temperature display?

used the temp probe I use to calibrate the minivaps, so I don't know how well this will translate to the Solo in terms of temp readings...I only truly trust this probe with minivaps. But once the unit is up to temp and heat soaked for a few minutes it stays put during my draw. The reading I got were 20 -30 degrees cooler than the set temp, but I don't trust that here. What I do trust is the movement of the temps, and they dropped during my draw with the first several pulls and then stabilized during the draw after that.

Sounds like it cools a lot before starting to recover (4 draws ?)
Do you think this is in line with Solo I and Air ? Does it recover in
that 4th draw then? (bigger heater) If so, must just be the thermostat?

One negative so far...:suspicious: I was giving her a quick wipedown with an ISO wipe and ran it across the bottom of the unit, where the serial # USED TO BE! :razz: Wiped it clear off with one stroke!:doh: Not so much a problem for me cause I went through Arizer and the serial # is on the bottom of the packaging.:tup: But this might prove confusing for them down the road?:rolleyes: :2c:

And it could get you busted. Seriously. It's a state deal (not federal like with firearms). While S/Ns are not mandatory (except in a few cases like guns and cars), removing one (for any reason) is generally considered 'prima facia' evidence ('clear, on the face of it') the stuff is stolen. Mere possession is a crime, even if it's yours.......how can you prove that's the one on the receipt if it has no S/N?

As I understand it basically all states have similar statutes to cover this, the one for my state reads:

537e. (a) Any person who knowingly buys, sells, receives, disposes
of, conceals, or has in his or her possession any personal property
from which the manufacturer's serial number, identification number,
electronic serial number, or any other distinguishing number or
identification mark has been removed, defaced, covered, altered, or
destroyed, is guilty of a public offense

My understanding is this makes it contraband, a potential 'stand alone' charge the heat could fall back on? Or use to 'bulk up' the charge list? Or come after you if the guy you sell it to gets into trouble?

Notice the "has in his or her possession" part. It doesn't matter how you got it, just having it is a bust. Even if it's otherwise legal. Then again, so is throwing it away (disposing)?

Your call, of course, but IMO it's dangerous to think your only exposure is warranty issues. For sure I think we owe it to each other to include such risks in the mix? Removed serial numbers can be very serious in their own right.

Yes, I know a carpenter who had a Skillsaw on the job site he bought out of the trunk of a guys car for cheap half a year before. He got a ride in a patrol car, lost two days pay, and got a free night in the Graybar hotel while they raised bail. Probably should not have mouthed off to the cop? Never got his saw back, even when he brought his buddy down to confirm his purchase. The buddy, no doubt with a two digit IQ, showed the cops the saw he bought at the same time to prove he was there......he lost his saw too. His lawyer (when he hired one) confirmed his friend was a fool, and eventually got the charges dropped, but it cost him a LOT of money. And more time off work.

Sorry to ramble, but missing serial numbers can be a bust in and of themselves. They would, of course, have to know there was one, notice it wasn't there and care. But the risk is real. And IMO it's way bigger than potential warranty claims to a company like Arizer with a long long reputation of making Solos that don't have any warranty problems?

Fixed that pretty quickly.:D The S/N# on the box is a sticker.:nod: Now it is a permanent fixture to my unit.:tup:

Wow, what did Arizer do to go backwards with the serial #? I've used ISO on many Solo's all over including the bottom serial, and never ever had an issue. One wipe and it was gone ShayWhiteGrow? Are you sure it's ISO in that wipe? Just today in the news was a recall for a certain brand of Gin having nearly 77% alcohol instead of the advertised 40%. I'm thinking your ISO wipes may have been tainted with Rocket Fuel!!! :D

Seriously though, it sounds like they need to get some better paint or something, because ISO or not, it will rub off rapidly with that kinda quality.

@OF that reminds me of it being "illegal" to remove tags from mattresses, etc. Those are some fucked up laws! If I buy something, it's MINE, and I can do whatever I like to it including modifying as I see fit. Some of your State laws are bordering on communism IMO! Especially with all the paranoia I see some members have regarding weed, paraphernalia, etc. Some don't even like writing about stuff online! :o

Actually, if I recall the mattress story right, it's a Fire Martial kinda thing (varies with locals) and only counts before the sale to the final owner (actually IIRC it has to be delivered):
http://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2014/01/is-it-illegal-to-remove-mattress-pillow-tags.html

The problem, I recall, was shady mattress sellers (ever know one that hasn't been holding a 'going out of business sale' for less than 3 years straight?) would cut them off and tell customers 'of course it's fireproof, they all are'. Setting your mattress smoldering with a cigarette when you fall asleep is a popular way to destroy your landloard's building and asphyxiate your neighbors. Less now that fireproofed mattresses are 'everywhere'. IIRC it was NYC that was the driving force behind the mattress tags......and the saved lives.

Gotta wonder about used mattresses. I mean if your grandmother cut it off......

You are absolutely right here when you say "it's MINE, and I can do whatever I like to it including modifying as I see fit." It is, and you can. Not the same thing as removing a S/N, which while California laws are strange/severe in many cases is basically in play in some for or another in all the states? It's about ID of stolen property at it's core, and sadly stealing other people's stuff is a very popular thing to do.......beats working I'm told.

The paranoia thing is real, which is why I bring this up. Consider the poor soul, stoned, at the side of the road when the cop notices no S/N where one should be? That's precisely the sort of thing that can push a guy from 'maintaining OK' to 'blithering idiot'. Best, I think, to know the risk before they spring it on you? Having a plan, even a bad one, almost always beats surprise and no plan at all.

Have to wait. Watching my 2 yr old son today and every time we come home he goes to my garage fridge and grabs a beer, pulls the drawer open to get the opener, and then makes me help him open it, then he hands it to me. Good in a way, bad in another? :\. I don't need him grabbing the vapes and the camera! :tup:

This is so cute, your son sounds awesome! Fuck maybe I'll have one, a little bartender sounds sweet :lol: soon a little bud tender??

Ty @CarolKing when PiU grabs em I think I may snag one. You guys like it more than Air? I have an abundance of 18650 20 amp discharge so I was considering an Air but I honestly like a huge built in bank more than swappable smalls. This sounds sick, my Mighty gets 6-7 bowls per charge and that lasts me a few days, really sounds up my alley.

Plus the app? Doesn't it keep track of usage/time? That is a novelty but I always thought that feature was really cool on Crafty/IQ and wish my vapes had that

I got some reading to do!

My wife and I are blessed with a large family and we have bought many mattresses over the years. Everytime I see a label I tear it off and my wife grits her teeth.

I told her any time the mattress police come she should show them my handiwork.

perhaps the Feds should make it illegal to have an "accident" and wet the bed (mattress)

Children everywhere would be afraid to fall asleep.

@ShayWhiteGrow Are you certain you wiped the SN off your vape... My SN label must have came "pre-wiped" hahaha. I noticed the SN label was blank so I peeled it off to see if there was a SN hidden under the label....




.... There was nothing under that label either hahaha. I contacted Arizer about the blank SN labels and they simply stated that they are now printed on the box... Right where you found yours!
