Arizer Solo

OT, but I also use Omi carts on the Alpha Ultra base.

I may be retiring my Solo for home use for a little while. It'll still be my go-to vape in the car before ______ vape.

E-Nano won the fight? :b

It's a close race. They both have their uses for me. I don't think you'll see my Solo in the classifieds any time soon.

How about taste? I totally see where you are getting at, i feel the same with my WW but i still prefer it over the Solo in hit easiness and taste.

Taste is about the same, maybe a little better with the E-nano.

FRIDAY FACTOID!

You may know this, but... the protective stem tubes that PV sells are actually 2 liter bottles before they are heated and expanded! google baby soda bottle. Available in bulk. I put a cotton ball or 2 at the bottom so that stems do not rattle around in them and a battery cap on a loaded stem. they kick ass when on the go!

EXCELLENT FIND!!!!!!

I read threw all the replies, and search this forum and decide to use a bit more oil. I think that did the job

Hi,

I have had my Solo for about a month now, and just can't seem to get good vapor from the thing. I have scoured various forums and threads, and have tried various things such as using a screen, packing loose and packing tight, drawing slowly (it is very difficult to suck on this thing - I'm out of breath and my mouth hurts from sucking so hard). I also make sure the glass stem is all the way in, and I can move it around a bit for easier drags, but I am not getting the results that everyone else seems to be getting, and I do want to love this thing and don't want to give up on it. I don't think I have a defective unit, as the glass stem is very hot after each draw, and I do get some vapor. The temperature seems good, as does the battery. I am thinking it is user error, but I don't know what else to do (I just ordered a PHVES straigh shorty from PV, and am hoping that will help, but I haven't received it yet). Here is what I usually do: grind my flowers fairly fine (but not powder) and loosely pack the stem the whole way, turn on the solo to temp 5, insert the stem completely, wait a minute, then slowly inhale on the stem. I usually turn it upside down. My results are consistently weak vapor and a very mellow high. If anyone has some good tips and tricks for getting good vapor results, I would be indebted. Thanks!

Yes it did

Is there a another legit site other than puffitup? They are seeing if they can price match but I want a backup incase they can't. If not there is always a bunch of sellers on eBay.

No clue bro, sounds exactly like what I do [sometimes i dont even fine grind] and I get a lot of vapor still.

Maybe try a higher temp setting and see what it does for you?

I have tried it at temp level 7, with still weak results, and the vapor tastes even more "cooked". Do you have a difficult time getting draws from the stem, as I find it very difficult to the point where my mouth hurts. I have good lung capacity, and can inhale for about 30 -45 seconds before I have take in some air because I'm sucking so hard. I have emailed Arizer, and am waiting for a response.

Yes I had that problem before, does your stem have the 4 holes?

What happened was, I ordered Eds wooden stem, and his stainless bowl stretched my o rings a little bit, so now my glass stem is looser and it hits hard.. with ease i can get clouds.

u might want to try Eds wooden stem because the stem itself has very good air flow..

And also i dont suck really hard through the stem, i kind of put my lips on it and inhale with my lungs, almost like sipping it/breathing the vapor in.

can you vape pollen as it is straight from a grinder?

The cheapest i've seen is $140 on eBay, but as far as I know PIU has the best deal...I can actually save $$$ buying from PIU over PV due to no tax.

Breathe in through your nose, also you can add a bit of cotton to the stem to restrict draw.

But I don't want to restrict draw, as this is one of the issues I'm having (restricted draw). My stem has 4 holes, and I have tried it with and without a screen, and it just about the same. I appreciate all the feedback so far, and I haven't given much thought to "how" I'm drawing on the stem, so I will try to relax a little and pull gently. Also, I should be receiving, any day now, a PVHES straight shorty, that I'm hoping will make a difference.

There's no way around the draw on the solo, you've gotta just hit it light, long slow draws.

I dunno man, once up to heat I found I could pull as hard as I could and holy shit i'd blow out some monster clouds. But I always tilt/manipulate the stem to get decent airflow IMO.

Could it be a problem with the tolerances of the stems? Too big/tight? I dunno, this just doesn't make any sense to me...you're doing everything right.

Yea it is all about pulling slowly.. Pakalolo do you live on the islands?

The solo has quite a restricted draw. I find that the best technique for me is to hit it much like one hits a cigar. Little puffs using the cheeks and then inhale. Imagine drinking a very thick milk shake.

+1

mine should arrive tomorrow. ive never used a solo so im pretty excited about it. ordered from PIU and as it has been stated time and time again on this forum... Randy is the man.

i will report back after initial burn in and first stem or two.
