Sounds similar to my experiences with low quality herbs. Pretty normal. Lower your tolerance and dream of better herbs mate...

Thanks a lot for all the responses and tips... Much appreciated
The session I get lasts only 2-3 mins, cause it's only 3-4 (15 second) draws before I can't see any vapour (which I assume means it's done)
After the session the ABV is light brown and definitely crumbly.What color is your abv (vape poo), when done ?
I use my Solo with medium ground goods starting at 3 and ramping to 4 within the 12 minute battery session, then I give it a little stir with a toothpick and restart on level 5 until it doesnt taste pleasant to me (popcorn'ish like)... my vape poo when done is tanned or just starting to turn chocolatey brown and will crumble to dust between two fingers. I then dump it and am in my preferred headspace. Some will eat their abv.... I toss it in a can and dump it in my compost myself as I hate the taste

Material is not a problem can get heaps and it's cheap. I'm not sure I understand what bubble bags or oils are, or how to make them

SOOOO great to be back with the solo. Out of ever single portable this has to be the most reliable Ive come across that has excellent battery life, taste, and big ass clouds. I wont ever be selling my solo again!

I use a SOLO everyday!
In fact I have 2.
My plan is to get the latest version.
I have other vAporizers I love.
However to have SOLO'S everywhere is so medicating!

For the high efficiency stems yes because they make them. If you don't want the high efficiency stem they also have regular stem gongs which will also work, most people are after the PVHES though. I like to push my material under the rim of the stem, I don't want it touching the heater directly.

Thank you for the information, I will order one off ebay I think. I've just added some screens to my Solo, which has stopped the mouthful of chunks.

Yeah I wish they included screens with them. Definitely needed. By the way, in case you bought bigger screens and trimmed them, the size is 1/2 inch. A lifetime supply can be bought for $5 or $10 on ebay.

An update on my experience with Aroma-Tek and the Arizer Solo:
First one I bought was from the M1C1 lot, worked for a week or so, and the heating element died. Turned it on, started to heat for a few seconds, turned itself off. Sent it back to Aroma-Tek, and they promptly replaced it with a new one (one week turnaround), which was unfortunately another M1C1. Second one worked for a week or so, then same problem, heating element died again, same symptoms as first Solo. Sent it back to Aroma-Tek again, requesting that they not send me another M1C1. This time they responded with three options: They offered to (1) send me a new one from and older lot (M1B), (2) send me a new one from their new shipment of Solos which will arrive in a week, or (3) issue a refund.
I opted to wait a week for one out of the new shipment. What do you guys think? Was that the right decision?
So the whole thing has been frustrating, but I have to say that Aroma-Tek has been very responsive with very good customer service. Each time, they responded promptly and offered to make good on the purchase. I would def buy from them again.
Unfortunately, the other frustrating thing is that when I do get my new Solo, I won't have anything to put in it, but that's another story. The Mass. dispensaries should open on June 1, and I will be the first in line!

I think that either decision would have been fine. There does seem to be less faults being reported in this thread for the M1D's compared to the M1C's, which would make sense, as new features were being introduced at this time. Perhaps the bugs were being worked out by the M1D run.
This is just a (not so educated) guess though. What I do know is that I'm very happy with my M1D2. And hey, your chances of getting a good one are getting better and better, regardless of the series number.

lol i still got my arizer solo from 2 and a half years ago or so. the m106. still hits like a champ with either fully charged or using the big old power adapter . idk if its just me but when i fully charge it the battery dosent last as long as i thought it would, maybe its just old.

Mine is an M1C1, I guess we shall see how this pans out. Is there a big failure rate with the m1c1?

Best Solo case ever! Nothing breaks, nothing smells, it fits in my pocket and gets me rocked for days on one centizen-battery charge!
Do you have a link? I think they use a similar unit for the mfb.

What is that tube called or where can I buy one? I am looking for a good small portable solo case.
Caligula

What tube? He has a Solo, a Jyar, and an Ed's TNT wooden stem (with a rubber cap on the end) all bound together with a rubber band.
If you want something to protect your stem and keep smell in then I suggest these:

Grinder are over rated.so i forgot my grinder at my buddies place last night and wasnt able to grab it before snowboarding this morning so i ended having to vape 'hippy picked' stems but to my suprise it worked perfectly fine! the flavour was stupid good, for sure better then with grounded meds! im just shocked at how well it vaped still though, the ABV came out a nice dark even colour after running it on 7 for five mins. it really makes me curious if i even need to grind up my buds in this thing now
I have them However whole flower nuggets hand broken is enough for my liking.
that may be true but when i use grinders it makes me feel like im going to extract most of the thc in the materials. more surface area better extraction.

I disagree!

More surface area applies to vapes than need it like the Launch Box. You don't actually need to grind your flower down to get an even thorough extraction. Ive done a few stems with coarse grind or just a nug in there and it does work well. The material comes out looking vaped and crushes easily revealing a uniform browning of the full bud. I find that clouds are easier achieved with a uniform grind though. Plus half the fun of it is having your own personal ritual right? I did a couple hand grind stems and then one through my Sharp Stone. So fun being able to change so many variables!

You cloud chasers!
Cool go for the thick white clouds.
For me I'm into the blue clouds.

I grind sometimes.
Whole flower nuggets lightly broken for me is complete sweet flavor!
Courser the better.
