I think strawberry cough is kinda harsh. I don't know if I will get it again. It's even harsh with my beloved Solo. I turned down to 3 and bump up to 4. Too harsh for temp 5. It does pack a punch though and it medicates well.
I have ~3 grams of Strawberry Cough x Medicine Man, I pressed some rosin from the buds and the taste of the oil was divine! I couldn't tell if I was dabbing solventless hash oil or essential oils!! The flower (whole nug in the stem) makes my mouth water. Not too harsh, but we're all different!
Guess who cracked a stem?

Hot damn, I love both of those Strains!I have ~3 grams of Strawberry Cough x Medicine Man, I pressed some rosin from the buds and the taste of the oil was divine!

MedMan was one of the first Strains I ever raised from a wee pup.
Happen to remember what the cross was named?
Infact I had a Stem O' MedMan x Panama Red yesterday evening and I hadn't pulled that particular jar out for a couple Months.
It reminds me to 'conserve me, I'm not gonna last forever ' with each wonderful hit.
@Cannalady ,
High!! Please excuse me for being late the Welcoming Ceremony!
Welcome to FC!!
I know how damn expensive Top Quality Cannabis can be ... And how frustrating it is to shell out your hard earned cash.
The good news is that you are now part of the Solo Crew.
And High End Flowers are astonishingly efficient in the Solo.
Have you tried pairing your Solo with your bong?
Doing this would allow you to turn the heater up to 7, producing thicker vapor , and the water acts as a "conditioner" to moisten your hit.
Again; Welcome, please feel free to keep at it until you get where you need to be regarding your Solo.
This community is quite amazing, so unique to the rest of all Social Media.
Nothing but Peace & Love, and supporting one another.

Hello peeps! Just signed up. Great forum.
So, I bought a Solo last week. Best decision I ever made, i literally love the thing.
I'm trying to do research on temperatures. This reddit thread has interesting numbers on older models. it looks to me like the M101/102 were the first production run, and callibrated really badly for weed, then they changed things up in later models; the 103/104 run too hot at the top end, while the 105/106 are just right.
Thing is, my model number is M1Q1. (That's a Q, not a 0!). So I was wondering whether
a) any of you good people happen to have temperature data for more recent models, or, failing that,
b) you can recommend a thermometer for me to measure the data myself. I'd be happy to contribute to the knowledgebase

Serial numbers do not mean a thing!
Enjoy your SOLO and don't over think it!
@OF say I'm scary?
The reality is CANNABIS is the HOLY GRAIL!
The SOLO helps to enjoy the GRAIL!
Cannabis is HOLY!

Welcome to the Forum, good choice on Solo.....although I guess you've figured that out?
The temperatures published by the maker are considered pretty accurate, and informally confirmed to match steps in the old series. Check Arizer's site? The temperature data steps have been stable for years now, the battery level indications not quite as long (it changed after the temperatures). IMO there's nothing "calibrated really badly for weed" (despite what you might read on lesser forums), you won't find anyone wanting to trade theirs in.
There is no such device that will easily measure the actual temperatures. Best technology is thermocouple, don't even consider IR pyrometers ('IR thermometers') there's a huge progressive error there to do with emissivity of the surface. Using T/Cs is not without troubles, the leads tend to remove heat for openers. FWIW, here's a photo of the T/C setup I used a couple years back to explore this, the sensor is the fine wires under the yellow paper:
The ideal temperature also involves the herb and the technique of the owner. I suggest you start at step 3 or 4 and see what you want. Ignore what someone else might think the temperature in degrees might be, be guided instead by results.
Regards
Just an observation, really. You seem to have scared off all the women and horses.........
OK, there are a few stout Women that hang in there.......but they're afraid to use their real names? Still, all that grass you've got lying around an no horses show up for a free lunch?
How many kids came by your house on Halloween? And they were wearing disguises, right?

An excellent idea. They claim it's calibrated between 185 and 210 degrees c (365/410f), which seems very narrow to me. I'm new to all this (and have read stuff you've written elsewhere on this forum, all tremendously useful
, but comparing that range to the canabinoid boiling point temperatures Vape-nation posted in the other thread, nearly everything gets burned up at or before 185c/365f, and the CBC doesn't vaporise at the Solo's advertised top temp. Contrast with the M105/106 models, which (allegedly) start vaping at 302f, which seems to give more control at the bottom end. (I understand your caveats concerning temp variations in the chamber, incidentally
An added layer of complexity!)On the one hand, none of this stuff matters. I love my vape, and I'm getting fantastic economy out of it... but on the other hand, the lack of hard facts is very frustrating. For example, I keep reading about the importance of "technique", but I see very little explanation of what the right technique actually is...
Anyway, I might look into taking my own readings, but the funds for that equipment might be better spent on a Grasshopper, or similar

Yep, five C or 9F per step. This range is actually normal, look at the temperatures offered by other vapes. The common 3 steps (which most seem to have) are 385, 400 and 415F. These are based on EXPERIENCE with real customers. I've already suggested you not put much stock in 'facts' from lesser sources (IMO too much ignorance and self serving 'information'). This includes putting too much stock in 'what evaporates when' based on tables. Does you clothes dryer have to reach 212F to dry the clothes (evaporate the water)? Does laundry drying on the line get that hot? Boiling is not the only way to evaporate, in fact it's just the point where the partial pressure of the gas that's 'boiled off' matches the local pressure. Evaporation is going on long before that temperature.
I can assure you that CBD does indeed get vaped out in Solo at top whack.......at least for me (and lots of other folks around here if you read some?). And it other vapes at similar temperatures too, of course.
I suggest here is a place where experience trumps theory......and the most important experience to you is your personal experience. Try experimenting and follow the results you like. I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion the rest of us have: Arizer knows how to build a successful, useful vape. Without our advice. I used to work for an Engineer who was fond of saying 'never argue with electrons, they know what they're doing'. I might say the same here with vape makers and the temperatures they use. If they made poor choices, their competitors would steal the market, right?
Enjoy you Solo as it comes out of the box, it really has been well thought through and tested extensively buy tons of volunteers. This thread didn't get past 35,000 posts because folks found faults. Arizer is wise.

I have no means of evaluating the quality of sources, and the information I have is so scarce that i don't feel inclined to go ignoring stuff without a good reason.
Also, the info I linked to was from this forum! Is there some beef between yourself and the other guy that I'm unaware of? I haven't blundered into drama, have I?
Honestly? i'm just looking for data. I like data. I find it useful.

That's OK, many/most of us come from the same place. We came looking for dependable information. I'm trying to give you the benefit of our experience with 'facts' from lesser forums, your call if you heed it or not. If you read these Forums you'll find lots of 'bum steers' coming from less orderly (and IMO useful) forums. Notice no flame wars here? That's a clue.
No, I've got no "beef" with that fellow (don't really know him, or care to?). Rather I try to respond only to what is said, not who says it. Personalities are fine for fun and games, but when it comes to useful advice that should stand on its own?
Those are my opinions on the topics of useful temperatures, Solo's suitability for the task and the quality of the sometimes contrary advice and 'facts' found in other places (many of which are trying to get your money.....). I believe those opinions are widely held here, notice nobody is jumping my case?
I've explained, as best I can, the mistake you're making with that table. Accept it or not, that's how it works out for real users. It's at best a guide.
In the end it's your call. You should do what you think best. You came here looking for advice, you get to decide to take it or not.
Regards.

Definitely loving the Solo through my D020-D! The PVHEGonG gives the perfect amount of airflow too. And PlanetVape was kind enough to send me a free o-ring with my order which I am also digging!
I'm in CLOUD CITY!!
Who doesn't love pictures!
New D020-D:
MILKSHOT TIME!!!!
The images aren't the greatest quality, but that's what happens when you use a shitty phone camera, ha! Anyway, I hope you appreciate the eye candy, this is the first time I've ever uploaded any of my own pictures. It was much easier than I expected, so more pictures to come later down the road, I'm sure!

I think if you read through the Solo thread maybe 25 pages or so it would get you up to speed. It will help with you getting to know the Solo a little better. It's a huge thread - a lot of the info is repeated. Most of us really like this vaporizer and hope others do too.I have no means of evaluating the quality of sources, and the information I have is so scarce that i don't feel inclined to go ignoring stuff without a good reason.

I appreciate all the info @OF brings to this forum, I know others appreciate it too.
No drama, some very good karma here - we are very happy folks.

I study world history, philosophy, comedy, mathematics, nutritional science and few other subjects as I become bored easily.
I love CANNABIS the most and use a SOLO to enjoy this common weed we have found a medical source for!
The SOLO works and is simple and I go by feel.
Having @OF try to answer your inquires is as good as it gets.
I joke alot however it helps me cope.
OK it's easy to obtain cannabis where most of us live.
I saw doctors for years to find a Diagnosis.
Can you realize the drugs doctors prescribe so freely?
CANNABIS replaced my medication.
No way could I handle a joint?
Some of the vaporizers tasted so bad I could not use them.
The SOLO to me is a no thrills device.
CANNABIS is natural!
The SOLO filled a niche for my needs.
Level 4 is my sweet spot!
Some like it cooler and some like it hotter.
CANNABIS has been overlooked by many civilizations.
Data is great however in this case you'll have to do what works for you!

LOL, you hit the nail there. Takes a bit to find that same window our Ataxian sees through.
Once you do though, it quickly becomes a favorite window to view from.
And hopefully it's a plexiglass one....

Imagine: John Lennon wrote and sang a song I love so much!
I have been inspired by very good people:
Christopher Hitchen's books I collect!
I wished he used a SOLO.
Right now I'm going to do a stem: PHVES, 113 seal, Old SOLO, @Pipes stand and a @OF GIZMO.
My blend is CALIFORNIA LIVING OG (grown near the OCEAN) smooth as can be! @CarolKing
This strain is not available anywhere!
Flavor?
Effect?
Pairs well with OLD VINE: CANNABIS is HEALING!

Hitch is my favorite writer. (non fiction)
Jules is an outstanding writer (fiction)
Since french is one of my languages I like Voltaire and Hugo.
When I lived in France besides going to Germany once a month I always went to England.
I loved England and never understood why they mixed tobacco with Cannabis?
Must be a cultural thing?
In California or Hawaii we would never mix cannabis with tobacco!
Drinking beer in Liverpool was fun.
Too bad the SOLO did not exist in the early 1990's?
Steven Pinker is one to follow!

yeah there are studies showing getting high becomes inextricably linked in the mind. makes fucking combustion harder but I have to mention our champion solo for getting me to do so
as to authors i have a real thing for the older ones at the moment, rice burroughs is a fab author and all his series worth a read

Boy, isn't that the key to the castle? Your silly mind links that nasty stuff to getting high. It expects one to come with the other and only that way. Breaking that link seems to take from a few days to a week or two for most?
To me a funny thing is months later, if you try blazing again say with friends, smoking is every bit as nasty as it was the first time you did it. Your mind looses the link I guess. There's a lot of self deception going on with that link I think.
Vaping is the answer, I think we agree? You can save a pile of money, really enjoy the taste, and as an added inducement you get to live longer to enjoy it. Tough combo to beat........
To me the heath benefit alone seals the deal.
