Hey guys, I've been patiently researching for a portable vaporizer in the $250 range. First, I wanted the Pax, then I wanted the Ascent, and now after much deliberation, I am leaning towards the Solo. My main reason for choosing the Solo is 1) The Air Flow & 2) The overall taste of the vapor.
Maybe someone can help me?
Best place to buy Arizer Solo
Best stem to use on Arizer Solo
Thanks a bunch!

@SmokeWeedErrrDay You can't go wrong with a solo, although I am waiting for my Ascent too. You'll be set with the stock stems but if your clumsy and drop things then i suggest an Ed's wood stem, as the glass ones can break... If you find you want more airflow planetvape sells PVHES stems which are moded to have more air flow. If you have a waterpipe or bong/bubbler with a 14or18mm joint then Planet vape also has Glass on Glass adapters for the solo to hook up to a water pipe.

Always in a state of confusion and silliness♀
It is a personal decision on stems what I might like you might hate. I know people who hate the solo and I love the solo. I suggest you do some reading in this thread...either start reading backwards or just go back like 100 pages and read fwd. You should have all your info in there. Then you will be able to narrow you questions. Even where to buy from is hard cause if no extras it will change just because of that alone.

Leave it to Puffitup to honor the warranty on an open-box unit. Thanks so much Randy! Great customer service as always.
Interesting to note that after having 5 Solos going back to an m-102, only one ever had any sort of failure if we don't count the flaking ceramic issue which never strictly effected performance. The Solo is still my favorite portable vaporizer after years of ownership and I hope Arizer will give us an all-glass successor to compete with the upcoming Ascent.

I have now learned that vapor+water=insanely smooth. Thickest vapor clouds I have ever had and I could barely even notice the vapor. Get a GonG!
dos equis:I mostly do water path however when you have a GonG the possibilities are endless!
My wife bought me a new SHERLOCK for my Birthday.
With a GonG you can do so many different set-ups!
Get a SOLO OK!
Make sure you get a GonG adapter.
From that point you decide on the conditions!

Arizer warranties ebay solos. Seems to be a rumor that just wont die that you have to buy it from specific stores. What buying it from puffitup or PV allows you to do is ship the item to them for warranty service. PV and arizer are both in canada so it does not really help US people much. But if you buy from puffitup or ask a long standing ebay seller if they warranty the item then that lowers shipping cost if you should need warranty service. But either way arizer warranties the item and does not need to be from an authorized seller.

The Solo seems to be one of the most reliable portable vapes out there.

yea I always warm my stem with the unit. I usually put it in right away and then start hitting it at 2 for those tasty tasty vapor hits. I will only turn it up to 4 to start. Then I'll hit it starting at 2 till it reaches 4. Then I hit it for awhile till the vapor production goes down then I turn it up to 6 and finish.

just my review on The PVHEgong turbo. after using it for over 45 days now I can say that I love it. It works better for my water tools and glass then the regular gong adapter with 4 holes. PV's ultra fine solo stem screens last over a month (longer If I dont loose' em down the drain while cleaning). Very even extraction and I usually pack it super tight. One luck time I managed a full gram smashed into the PVHEGONG turbo! It works great with the PA. On batteries I feel the extra flow causes the heater to "sweat" and doesn't work as good. I love it so much I got 2 PVHES turbo comming to me and I plan to chop/polish them in to Super-taxian-style-chillins!!!!

Cool review.
I have been doing a few sessions DRY with a GonG (Stock 18mm).
The same GonG for my Bubbler as well.
I will order another GonG Turbo PVHES to try out!
Have GonG will travel!

Hey ataxian, I see you have both a NANO and a SOLO. Which do you prefer and why? I have been looking at both of them for awhile now. People seem really happy with both.

I love the NANO!
I love the SOLO!
It's kind of like having two girl friends at the same time!
They both have there good points.
PM me if you what to discuss?

Just wondering if the ABV from my Solo on the 7th temp setting should come out nearly black with very brown ABV throughout (dark golden on bottom). Its not ash but just really brown/black ABV, and not once did I taste combustion but it does this almost every time I go all the way up in temperatures

I've pulled a rich brown ABV from the solo, never black.

Hi Very high
Yeah dude that sounds about the same for my Solo if im using it on 7. I rarely go past 6 these days though, 4-6 seems to be the sweet spot for the afternoon with some 2-3 action wake and vapes.

So many GONG options! Is there any general consensus on which is the best for water tools?

Many may disagree however I use the cheaper glass stock GonG.
Add others later however at least start somewhere.

i have the turbo gong, i was playing with it last night, im pretty sure that if you hold it tightly with your lips, and press the stem down, into the solo, you can get maybe alittle combustion on 7.
here is my question, if you fill it up with finely ground, say .1-.12 how long does it take you to finish it? i always go thru atleast two cycles

you absolutely should not be able to combust in a solo even at 7 and especially with a turbo which has the least restriction and will let in the most cool air. If combustion were to occur, it would be most likely to happen in a stock stem.
As for the second half of your question, there is no way to compare person to person, too many variables. What strain are you using, how well was it grown, how big are your hits, how dry is your herb, was it properly cured, what temp setting do you start at, how quickly do you go through the temp settings, etc. all of these factors will play a role in how long/many hits per bowl

@eyewhites at first I was the same as you. I was having to do 2 cycles to get through a load. I could probably have got more on a 3rd cycle but by that time Id had enough of sucking!
Now I do 1 session and a bit to finish a load. Is your solo still fairly new? I think the restricted airflow of a new unit slows things down
