Arizer Solo

Long time lurker of FC and r/vaporents finally looking to get a Solo over the Air. Couple quick questions:

1. Any sales I should wait for on 4/20 this year? Or is eBay and such good enough?

2. Wanting to make it as portable as possible, understand the longish Solo stems tend to make that difficult. Is it worth getting the shorter Air stems? Pretty sure they are interchangeable, correct..?

Thanks in advance homies.

@VaporizeGSWeed Welcome to FC. I would go with Puffiup on a Solo, but usually a lot of sales through online sellers on 4/20. Randy at Puffitup will match prices with other retailers just call or email him. Free shipping and free shipping if you need to send it back if something is wrong with it. No hassle returns, just keep your receipt.

The Air and Solo stems are interchangeable with either unit.
:leaf::peace:

I agree that it is conduction, i use those little glass spacers (g5 i think) under a domed screen. In fact i use 3 spacers under 1 domed screen then another 1 under a domed screen pushed down flat. This leaves a gap of about 3mm.
Not a lot but i use pressed keif.
This method sounds like there would be no airflow, buy its hardly affected and i can now use the lowest of temps. Before i sold my solo ialways used 5 then 7, now i have the air i can use blue and get clouds.
So yes the spacers bring the heat underneath as well as on top and to the sides. Makes a great difference imo. So conduction must be a major part?

It's both. I pit a dome screen in my turbo stem so that the bud sat below where the "floor" of the stem would normally be. It still vaporized, and the flower only touched the screen. I think both the Solo and Air are good at utilizing a combination of conduction and convection.

Hey, anyone know if the solo PVHEgong is still safe to use if part of the ground glass joint has cracked off? It still functions perfectly, and I'm careful not to cut myself.

I ask because I'm certain the gong is getting a lot hotter to the touch than before it broke.. Has some sort of seal or coating that kept temperatures down been compromised? I don't wanna be inhaling anything dangerous! Haha. Or am I just being paranoid? (srs, it almost becomes too hot to handle now, same temps as I vaped before)

PV just restocked their 18mm gongs so I've just ordered 2 more (non shorty's this time)..... or maybe its high time i hit Ed up for one of his amazing wongs :D

Be careful on e-bay, you may not get a warrantied unit. That being said there are pretty good deals on the Air right now. Massdrop has them for $169.

Another thing to consider is, if you live in the USA you should buy from a Canadian seller (planetvape.ca and torontovaporizer are 2 I have dealt with). By buying in Canada (via web) you get a discount of about 20% due to currency fluctuations.

If portability is an issue you should buy the Air.

I would "flame" those rough edges with a torch lighter. That would lessen the likelyhood of something else breaking off. Since the air is being pulled through water, I don't think you will have a problem. Of course with a dremelltool the whole thing could be ground down smooth.

I received my solo about a week ago and I absolutely love it. One question though. Should I worry about the four holes in the chamber getting clogged? Is it safe to poke the holes with a needle if there is small pieces of herb stuck in there?

Preferably use something that is non metal for coming in contact with the oven.

If you get a piece of herb stuck in one of the holes .... before poking it try doing the hamster and suck hard while simultaneously removing the stem. It's kinda like vacuuming the oven clean.

I pack the stem to where nothing is hanging out, then give it a tap down in your palm to jar any loose material out, then insert it. Go through your session, pull it out, suck out the oven, tap stem to empty, blow out any remaining material. doing this keeps everything like new, I have absolutely no staining in the oven, and no clogged holes.

Got my Solo..and I've been busy using it. Thank you so much for steering me in the right direction! This is a totally different experience from the MFLB I had a couple years ago. I love it.

Now I just need my D020 (shipped) and PVHE accessories (ordering now). Waiting, waiting...

Just moments ago I took a swab of cotton and cleaned the stem with it while it was still warm, then I stuffed that baby in the bowl and..wow. Very cool. Even tasted alright.

FYI: for those wanting to purchase, planetvape.ca is the same price as Ebay after the currency exchange. I wish I had realized that before purchasing mine on Ebay. I also purchased something from puffitup and was pleased with pricing and service. Happy Vaping!

Another one for the books! Proven time and time again. I actually used my Solo today dry(i know right) and got blasted. Half a stem with screen mod, which is pretty much how all my stems are currently. I even have my Shorty GonG with a screen to cut the size in half :o

The glass isnt put up tho Its still early and three glass peices within reach......
Hey @ataxian where have you been? Break any glass lately? I broke my 14mm GonG. It rolled right out of my medicated hand. :clap:
@ctxgooner what have you been up to? Hows the Soloing been going buddy?
