    Arizer Solo

    An interesting read for those who care: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0147286 Medicinal Cannabis: In Vitro Validation of Vaporizers for the Smoke-Free Inhalation of Cannabis tl;dr: Solo beats the pants off volcano, plenty and davinci in terms of THC/CBD...

    The Arizer Air

    The little holes in your screens start to fill up with resinous gunk after a few sessions, particularly where the screen is being cooled by contact. (That's why dome shaped screens work better than flat screens - they seem to collect less gunk per session and have a larger surface area so it...

    The Arizer Air

    I just got some of these and they are way better than the 1/2" screens domed over a pencil end I'd been using. But the ends aren't fused - in the photo or in what they sent - doesn't much matter - they work fine. Easy to fit so they won't fall out and when the do eventually gunk up, easy to...

    How healthy is vaping - irritated lungs etc.

    If you leave it heating on the EQ for an hour, I'd think it's likely to go "bad" (meaning "lose potency") because volatiles will leave hot herb and probably condense on wand and whip instead of in your lungs. I've never tried but know of no reason for potency to disappear much if the weed is...

    Arizer Solo

    Eyeballing those air holes, they don't seem to grow historically between models or for that matter, in the Air - but I have no measurements to confirm. Draw resistance has always been part of the design trade off for battery operation I think, but tight draw was a common complaint with early...

    Arizer Solo

    So, you've made a plug in to fit like an 18650 cell - that's amazing. Advantage of adding PA mode to the heater circuitry for the Air is that they could probably increase the maximum power draw, being constrained by the PA rather than battery limitations? Imagine that and a body redesign (need...

    Arizer Solo

    OF - that looks amazing! Rube Goldberg with a soldering iron and integrated circuits! Yes, of course, but I really like having both - a portable that works very well on the go but can be plugged in and used without risk of damaging the battery and with a substantial boost in vaping performance...

    Arizer Solo

    Be less silly if they left the text and reverted to the old style sort of Solo "desktop" PA operation I reckon - just in case anyone from Arizer is listening? I use one regularly and it hits really well - like the EQ but with much less fuss :) The air would be an absolutely amazing hybrid...

    Arizer Solo

    If the herb generates good vapour in other devices and is getting charred, are you getting any effect? If not, where did the volatile goodness go? I guess the good news is that you can't get char without heat so I'd guess you've got most of a working Solo. With char I'd expect smoke which...

    DDave Mod, New DDave Mini Mod & Kit for Arizer EQ/VTower Vapes

    I cut an inch off the spare whip so it's exactly the same diameter/thickness silicon tube - lubricate the whip you want to reinforce with some soap solution then fold/collapse/squash one end the whip tip lengthwise and poke it through the 1" piece (reinforcing collar). Once it's through, push...

    DDave Mod, New DDave Mini Mod & Kit for Arizer EQ/VTower Vapes

    Reinforcement is a great idea and a slight variation makes my setup less kinky :) and is easy to swap between 14 and 18mm Once you get the reinforcing collar on, slide it about an inch along the main tube. Brute force works. Pro tip: A tiny bit of soap+water will act as a lubricant to make it...

    The Arizer Air

    +1 on all those. In the longer term I'd add for those who use screens for cleaner wand hash: Screen maintenance: Keep your screen clean! The finer the mesh and the flatter (glass seems to cool it down so resin condenses? Or something...), the quicker they seem to clog up. Once clogged, the only...

    The Arizer Air

    According to http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/confusion_with_voltages that nominal voltage might sometimes be gamed for marketing - apparently you can assume about 3.6 v for 18650s no matter what the tin says. That's a really interesting observation. tl;dr So, I'm guessing if you...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Interesting - you lucky fellow - and no, I'm not blaming you personally for the great pacific garbage patch because of your jest about conservation. After all, one thing I learned during my stay was that there is a vast range of attitudes and behaviour with regard to unnecessary waste of natural...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    That probably makes more sense if you live where it's legal and cheap. OTOH, there is a good argument that we all owe the planet a debt which we can only begin to repay by minimising waste wherever we can. Having lived in the US for 13 years, I appreciate that for many modern Americans this...

    The Arizer Air

    Thanks for this good work - and if each of the 80 or more sessions was a stem, for surviving what must have been a very large total dose of THC. :) The pattern of discharge will depend on how much air moves through the heater so the aromatherapy cup result makes sense to me. Results are in line...

    Arizer Solo

    I'm using a PA on an old Solo right now. Performs pretty much as well as my EQ desktop IMHO... Imagine something like an Air powered by a decent PA - please if anyone from Arizer is listening?

    The Arizer Air

    Might very well be for some but I find I can easily toast the contents of a stem without any unpleasant harshness and from my ABV QWISO experiments , there really is not much active material left in my abv - so I don't bother with water. Clearly lots of people do like to use water judging from...

    The Arizer Air

    Yes, I've bought some replacement stems from Australian Vaporisers and they were fine to deal with. My EQ came from http://namastevapesaustralia.com and they were very good about replacing one of the stock elbows which arrived smashed. My point about massdrop was that I landed my air and a...

    The Arizer Air

    These will become increasingly rare - in case anyone didn't know: Massdrop stopped handling vaporisers about 6 weeks ago - rumoured to be an early decision following the arrival of squeaky clean venture capitalists with image managers. Pity. By far the cheapest shipping to get equipment for...
