SOLO Vaporized Cannabis is my Best Medicine
I have to agree with all of this! I have an Eds' Blackwood stem, but use it only for walking or working on the "farm". The best things about the wooden stems is they don't break and they give the Solo a "classy" look like and old time brier pipe. But glass does taste much better.

I have one too.
I broke so many stems I was glad to have my wood stem for back up.
It has a use of many sorts!
Couldn't order extra stems, couldn't order gongGs...kids go learn to blow glass!
Oh yeah, can I get a link for wood stems, will make yard word more fun and probably more will get done then when I am using oil for everything.

Ed's stem transfer more heat to the cap of the solo. I think my glass stem gets hotter than my ed's stem. BUT, I rarely clean my glass stem, and I attribute a lot of heat retention to the reclaim inside the stem.
Fresh clean glass with a shinning flat domed screen for the best flavor.... With the appropriate strain of course

I only use Ed's stems exclusively. The taste is great. The more these wood products are used, the more resin that builds up inside and the less the wood imparts any taste to the vapor.
Until recently, I was using a full-size Blackwood stem with my Solo. As mentioned by @spoutti , I do notice my cap gets warm to the touch. I don't know if my glass stems do this as I don't use them at all.
I recently stopped using the stem and now use a 18mm "wong" exclusively with my bubbler and Solo. This works so well for me that I simply have no desire to try it any other way.
I do admit, however, if PlanetVape ever gets glass adapters for the Solo, I may have to pick one or two up just to try them out.

Overall look is "sexy" for sure.

That's actually my own mod. I took a file and polishing wheel to the bowl edge as soon as I received it. I feel this improves airflow around the edge of the bowl where it makes contact with the bottom of the heating chamber in the Solo. It also makes it easier to insert the wong into the Solo.

i just received a new Solo that I ordered on e-bay. It was supposed to be the latest 2014 new model. The serial no. starts out M1A. i thought the new 2014 models started out as M1D or E? so I contacted them and they told me this was the latest model and that they receive new shipments from Arizer each and every month and assured me that this was the newest one. Am I being dupped here?

Does it heat while plugged in? If so you got a new one... (if not there'll be a few people want to know where you got it

I haven't even opened the plastic wrap that is covering it yet, (in case i had to send it back), but they assured me that it would work while plugged in. They say that they are an Authorized Arizer dealer selling new Solos, very few negitives on their rating, and nothing negitive on the Arizer products.
I will definately let everyone know where I got it if it turns out not to be as advertised. Thanks for the reply.Does it heat while plugged in? If so you got a new one... (if not there'll be a few people want to know where you got it

Can't argue with anybody about the taste difference, so how about a hybrid.
A first generation Ed's short Gong, modified with a hold down brace and silicone tip now with a glass attachment inserted into it. Also, thanks to the inspiration from hd_rider , I too filed the end somewhat. Haven't polished yet as eager to compare before and after. I must say it does seem to work somewhat better. Definitely not worse. Load did come out more spent in a shorter time.
To file I simple used my electric screw driver and stuck the silicone tip onto the end of the driver bit. Hold it down against a file and spun it. A little at a time as gets quite warm to hold down. Checking constantly to ensure it was filing evenly. Need some very fine to finish up. Which I still need to do.

Opps, me and names....corrected the post. Thanks for catching that spoutti.
Sorry @hd_rider, BTW, did another bowl. It does seem to deal with the heat different now. I'm thinking without as much steel on steel contact that the bowl doesn't drop the lower oven temp as fast..?
IMO, great mod.

I'm in the same exact situation, the difference is I opened mine and ran it through two sessions solo 
- to burn off the oil smell. And am enjoying it now.
It's definitely a newer model (M1A...) you can use while charging, the stock stem hit's like a beast now, and I get clouds on 2. On my older (M1A...) model it would not work while charging, airflow was noticeably more restricted and had to set to 4 to get clouds.
Enjoy.
ataxian if I order a D020 to use with the Solo I have to order this correct?

And if yes, is there an alternate place to purchase since this is OOS? Thx.

The Solo has been my yard mate this week, using the Eds Granadillo stem, no worry about bumps and falls. Dodging the rain showers in the Pacific NW. Trying to spruce up the yard after a very mild winter here.
GR, I don't know if it's your first Solo, but you won't be sorry with your purchase. The Solo is one of the top portable vaporizers out on the market.

I lived in Cottage Grove for 18 months and gained 40 lbs. Summer was awesome...both months. 
I spent a lot of time on the St Croix river. Oh.....enjoy your new stems!

I'm getting ready to order wire mesh screens and have ordered from PV in the past and like the fine and extra fine mesh screens. Does anybody know what the mesh size corresponds to those screens. I'm considering 80 x 80 mesh, .0055" wire diameter pre-cut screens from McMaster-Carr and would like something similar to what I have.
