Arizer Solo

Well-Known Member
Saturday is clean glass day!
Maybe a overnight soak.
looks like it's a simple GonG PHVES and a JHOOK tonight.
I haven't vaped outside of my house in a very long time.
I hate being stressed.
How can people medicate in public?

One of the reasons I got a Solo was to go and take a couple of quick draws outside, but I didn't quite understand the dynamics and speed of vapor extraction/production yet. I'm not going to stand outside of my place like a sitting duck with my Solo, most of my neighbors are strongly anti-pot, even though there are over 100 clubs in my city.

I just caught a new young neighbor getting stoned next door, downstairs this morning. I was hoping the lighter clicking and heavy coughing was exactly next door, but no such luck. I don't know how people just sit right on their back porch and smoke a bongload, advertising like that, in front of everybody. Maybe I'm just a prude? maybe these new people don't know how anti-pot most of the neighbors are.

I wouldn't actually use my Solo in "public", but coming home from my late night walks back from the grocery store, walking against traffic, in the dark, with most vehicles driving 50 mph, no real visible vapor, and the ability to see people coming from far away, will work out okay, I think. I just get a little worried about people judging me or me looking like a showoff or something. My parents were very anti-pot when I was a kid, as a result of lack of education on the subject, so that instilled some good old fashioned guilt or even paranoia in me when I partake at times.

So, Ataxian, you go 5-6 minutes through water, and the full 12 dry. Is this because extraction is more efficient through water for you? Since I got my GonG, that one Ed's stem I vaped has been the only dry use my solo has seen.

Last night I let the Solo heat up to a 7 and stabilize for a minute or so, then set it on the GonG and started to draw. It took about 20 seconds of inhaling before vapor started to appear, but once it did, it was dense. It wasn't very flavorful but I don't think the flowers were either, just some bonus free stuff (Fire Fly or Dragon Fly? It looks like a purple master Kush, and the feeling is very similar to Master Kush - not my favorite strain, kind of boring). It seemed like I got most of the vapor in several pulls, so then I set the solo to 6, and let the GonG marinade for a bit, and got another couple of smallish draws. I want to try that with some more flavorful weed. I pulled up the solo off the gong to clear my bubbler, looked after the first pull, and it was already fairly dark brown!

There's so much to learn about vaporization. I'm barely scratching the surface. I can't wait to have enough cash to get a plug in vape, so I can do little draws here and there as I please while watching movies and stuff. Only problem with the solo is I always want to finish the gong or stem, and when I'm watching movies sometimes my mind will drift off and I will lose track, LOL. At least flowers are working for me again!

Cannabis is such a wonderful medicine. I can use it daily for pain, run out of meds, and no nausea, vomiting, inability to sleep or eat, no runs, nor any of the other wd effects perscription narcotics have (well, maybe a bit later falling to sleep, and minor digestive issues, but those are there naturally for me). It's no wonder big pharma doesn't want it legal!

HomeFree, Maybe if you had some tall plants on your back porch to give you a bit of privacy. Possibly a potted tree of some kind. After dark you wouldn't think the Solo would cause that much unwanted attention. You could always dab with a vape pen.

There are unmistakable gestures about smoking a joint. Vaping with the solo is different. So the avg mind his own buisness bob will never look twice. I wouldnt vape directly downtown main street, but no problem in residential streets. Just look like you are doing something normal and avg bob wont notice. I restrict my drawing vapor motion directly in front of avg bob. I occasionnaly get get a glance at my solo. Thats it.

Those noticing it for what it is, I think are mj friendly. The chances of crossing a pot hater knowing what a solo is and offending him are close to none here imho. Specially with a black eds wooden stem; it could just be a ridiculously oversized nicotine vapor device.

Im personnally much more at peace using my solo compared to smoking in public spaces. Much less people looking twice.

I don't save my ABV and like a full extraction at my setting of level 4.
My flowers are usually flavorful top shelf strains.
I chase flavor mostly.
Chasing clouds is cool for some however I cough doing so.
We are all different.
I vaporize outside in my garden (my yard is private!)
To vaporize in public means going out of my living area.
I have a Wooden Stem I got 2 1/2 years ago from ED that is well made.
When I would break glass the wood stem would hold me over until I got more glass ones.
Now I keep a lot of extra glass around just in case I break some.
Snoop Doggy Purple Kush is a strain I love however it's not easy to get.
The side effects for cannabis are milder than the drugs the doctors give out so freely.
We all have different needs.
I like water path for the smoothness.
Dry stems are simple and effective as well.

The SOLO is just so smooth and simple for my medical needs!
OK it's super cheap and consumes less than combustion.
I just don't feel comfortable medicating in public.

When using the solo, I'll probably only be taking 1 or 2 hits since my tolerance is low and its way more potent than smoking. Can i leave the rest of the bowl in the solo and just turn it off, or do i have to take it out and store it somewhere? Thanks :)


Well if you cant finish the bowl,just shut the Solo down pull the stem (bowl) and place it either in your WT if using one,or stand it up some where. Now if your home with parents well then I suggest you get a tube type case (plant Vape sells them.) The Solo stem will fit in it and you can put the screw cap back on and all is good.

You can just leave it in and I have done this too but I found that just removing it and placing it out of the heater is better suited for me, I have broken one when I didnt remove it and it fell over ,but for those who do not live on their own, leaving it in and hiding it may be the only way. YMMV

For flavor and taste , you should start at a lower temp level , like 3 or 4 .
When you ceased getting vapors , then vapor-step up one level . and you'll
get a few more hits . I can only go up to 5 dry vaping on the new Solo ,
but 6 on the old one . ( I'll come back to this later )

I don't know where you reside , but personally I think the sentiments of
cannabis use is swinging the other way in the US and Canada . Basically
because of the huge amount of tax $$$ being collected and other revenues
created . Big $$$ is seemingly the factor that will allow the Government to keep an Open Mind ! :2c:

o ya back to the temp levels , I have to concur with others .
I start on level 3 on my new Solo which equates to level 4 on my old one .
I can taste and feel the difference if I start on level 4 on the new one . I have no explanation as to why , but maybe the new one is just , well ,
working ' newer ' . With my new Solo , on level 7 , the ABV is a little bit darker . Maybe I'm getting better extraction from the improved airflow .

I want Arizer to make a Gold Solo , b/c this Vape is Golden . :rockon:

Hey man thanks so much for the reply! I looked in the acronym glossary though and couldnt find what "WT" means?

And for the tube type case, do you just mean a case that can carry the solo and the stems? I do want to maintain a moderate amount of stealth :)

WT=water tool. Such as a bubbler or tube.

Thanks madcap!

What do you guys do with your ABV? Do you actually re vape it?
As part of the process learn how to recycle your ABV!

Personally I throw mine out.
I just use a lower setting and extract the maxium out of the flower.
When the flavor is fading I know it's time to stop. Do whatever floats your boat. We are all different. Some love ABV and others can't stand it!

WT = Water Tool (like a F-BOMB or a PNWT) Again some love them and others hate them!

Find your own sweet spot!

Awesome thanks so much! Can you smoke it too and still get high from it?

Also, if I start at a lower setting but work all the way up to 7, the ABV from that is still useable for edibles right?

Sorry for being such a newb haha

I vape at a lower temp during the day, so I will save mine and revape it at high temps for bedtime. I then save that ABV and make edibles. Everyone is different as @ataxian said. Eventually you will find what you like to do. It's part of the fun imho. :wave:

You can smoke it but it will taste horrible and won't have as much effect, at least in my experience.

Still useable for edibles. The edibles will be good for pain and sleep in my experience at least.

I wish I could grow my own! One day.....one day.

Sorry for the back to back mods. :\

No it is a device,looks like a test tube but has a screw cap on it. That way no smell comes out & stem is bullet proof while its stored in it, . They do make very small cases for the unit, just shop around any small zipper like bag you can use,you can buy ones with padding for the unit or you can DIY (do it yourself) it doesnt have to be elaborate, unless your ski diving with the unit or packing it on a desert rally racer :dog:. But I think you get the idea. WT = water tool, as in bubbler, water pipe,bong that sort of thing. A lot of Solo users like water to cool the vapor, but its just a matter of choice. If you need help read around, you get stuck hit me up on a PM. :peace:

You guys are all so helpful and I really am sorry for all the questions I have haha! But what are the best inexpensive WT's (yeah i did just use an acronym) to use with the Solo? (Not looking to spend over $50)

Edit: BTW i prefer a WT that makes that nice, LOUD, bubbling sound :)

Many use this with a SOLO with some gratification!

Your can find a WT for less than $20.00 on this web site.

I like ash collector and jhooks better.
These little bubblers work well with the SOLO.

Anybody know where to get a replacement battery? Looks like PIU is out of stock, and the vapepower HC batteries are backordered for at least 2-3 weeks.

Looks like the d020 is for me :)

But do i need any adapters for the solo or do i just order the d020 and get medicated right away?
A 18mm phves GonG is the ticket!
planet vapes is the only place I know to get them unless someone knows another source?

Or you can rig a piece of tubing on the stem the solo comes with to a 18mm tube adapter. (temporary)

GonG's are what one needs in the SOLO WORLD!

GonGs are awesome! i prefer the solo dry personally but even with a piece like a sherlock the experience is great.

RE: my old solo with the destroyed threading...

seems like teflon tape isn't enough, even if i do a bunch of wraps it'll stay attached for 4-6 insert/removals of the stem even if i'm holding the top in place.

is there any hope for re-threading it without permanently attaching it? basically just making sure i'm not an idiot at teflon tape :)

it keeps threading down all the way near the front but the back pops up always :huh:
