Let us know how that works out @CarolKing . I`ve been using a 1' surgical grade latex whip with my Solo (and FM V5.0) and I like it a lot. Really improves the draw and no tipping problems.
I did just order 5' of Silicone tubing from PV and may try something as long as 3', so it will be...
@al bundy I use mine exactly the same way for the same reason...no need to stir, even baking with no debris down the sides. Super easy to clean and vapes a smaller bowl perfectly!...
Thought I`d try one of Planet Vape`s stems since I was placing an order for a few things with them:

Wanted another straight stem and they were out of stock on the Arizer`s so I thought it might be time to try one of these...
Any stock on the bent Vortex you were mentioning?
EDIT
Ok thanks...think I`ll hold out for the bent one...my homemade whip is working really well for me right now but it would probably be even better with a Vortex...
Nope I was clear on all of that...just wondering what size screen you used as a replacement. Good that you seem to be able to adjust the size of the chamber but that`s never been an issue for me...
@Slow Draw McGraw I`m right in sync on this topic... had my ISO, Q-tips and needle out last night trying to improve the draw on my V5.0 (maybe I`m just getting spoiled by my Solo`s easier draw:tup:)...
No real improvement with poking the needle through all the little holes and decided at some...
I had a similar experience and found as @CarolKing suggested that using a domed screen with a fairly coarse, unpacked load completely solved the issue...
It can be safely steam sterilized so I`m thinking it should be ok...it`s also connecting to the end of the Solo stem so it is a good distance away from the actual heat of the oven...
Just doing some research, the hottest temp we can inhale is 45 Celsius before we actually burn our airways...so...
I`ve been using a short (3") length of the latex already for several months without any issues so I think I`ll be ok but the silicone in the link looks like a really good choice...I`ll see how this one goes for now though...
Great, that`s what I`m using with my little globe mouthpiece already. Just found my supply and cut a 10" piece that I`ll try as a short whip later tonight!...
I love the look of @Ed's TnT stand for the whip setup...hopefully he`ll get one done that he`s happy with.
I`m thinking @CarolKing that if you use a fairly light guage of Silicone tubing that you could attach a 3' length of that and hold the solo in one hand and the tube mouthpiece in the...
Silicone can be fairly stiff so getting you ID/OD sizes right for what you`re connecting to can be important. The thicker it is the harder it will be to stretch (if you need to)...
@CarolKing I`ve seen lot`s of silicone tubing (food grade as well) on EBay and I`ve purchased latex tubing for a project there as well.
I use about 3" of that with a pyrex globe style mouthpiece with my Solo but I`m thinking the silicone would be the way to go for a whip...
