Thanks for the reply CDS, looks like I'll be torching stems by the end of the week (cautiously, of course :) )

That's a big 10-4 Little Buddy :)

Hav Funny you should say that, as that's another experiment as I see it: Heating the stems enough for the oil to drip into a container. Don't suppose you've ever tried this by any chance? I'm hoping that someone has actually tried this (I've definitely seen it hypothesized on here) and has been...

Was your chum overzealous in how long he heated the stems for, or how often he did it? Or both? I figure if I have 2 stems it's worth the gamble. I'm not worried about breakage through dropping them or anything (as I'm obsessively careful about things that can break in this way, being the clutz...

So, quoting this / replying because I notice a bit of debate on the ol' "torching stems" issue and was hoping that the chief protagonist would weigh in with his current opinion on the matter. I ask because after a few weeks of heroic usage I'm building up a nice layer of wand goodness. Not a...

Cheers for the reply. Your theory does sound plausible, it's almost like a vacuum situation where the draw is unrestricted until the very point that the stem meets the bowl floor. Only thing is that the draw wasn't this restricted when the stems hadn't even been used. Hmm, heading out now so...

OK, this is a weird one, but bear with me: After a week of joyful and heavy Solo useage I decided to do the ol' milkshake trick with the now funky stems. Thing is, the day after boiling the stems in milk, the draw through both stems feels more restricted. Has anyone else encountered anything...

Hi Mike, here's what I'm talking about. The screens don't take up as much room as I'd have thought, not as much as inserting the domed screen upside-down like some folks here do. It's not the prettiest solution but it works for me. Nicely roasted ABV (not charred or black), just give the screens...

Just a quick shout out to say thanks to the VapoShop team for all their help in getting an Arizer Solo into my hands today! Whole package arrived safe and sound, and VS were kind enough to throw in a 2 piece grinder to boot. Thanks again guys, I'll definitely be recommending you to any vapor...

Gentlemen, I have arrived, and the view is fantastic from up here! :) M106 SS arrived at my door at noon courtesy of Vaposhop (props to Frederique et al). The camera definitely adds a few pounds, this thing is tiny! Fashioned 2 screens into a metal tea-bag deelie, loaded it, got the tight...

Great minds think alike! :) Ordered some ss ones from Vaposhop while I was there, read something about potential lead additives in brass ones, that was enough to make me go for steel ;) Now to distract myself til the solo arrives....

Today has been a good day. 2 months after hearing of the solo I finally have enough dough to place an order with the good folks at VapoShop. 2 months of unexpected bills after a fairly crippling Christmas and New Year. 2 months of jealously reading post after post of happy users. I'm finally...

Cheers Lefthook, you're steering me further towards just biting the bullet and ordering this thing! :)

@ Lefthook - Cheers for the reply, you were actually one of the users I hoped would weigh in, mainly because I'm coming from a similar background as you, what with the never-ending joints. I'm resolved that this year is the year I quit tobacco for good (touch wood), so your box-ticking is great...

Thanks for the reply Errol, totally agree with you on the imbalance of reviews towards the negative, I know they're usually more vocal than those with praise, and what I like about FC is that those with positive experiences are loud and clear in their declaration of love for this thing :) Plus...

Cheers for the reply Spezialemic. My options are a tad limited as I'm UK based, I've been in touch with a European dealer who seems quite active on FC, I'll be honest in saying I'd like to go with them as they offer a FC discount. Knowing my luck I'll get stung with a customs fee, and would...

Hi there chaps and chapettes, I'm a FC lurker making his first post, and getting ready to make the switch from 12 years of smoking joints to trying to vape. I first heard of the solo just before Christmas after trying out a friend's volcano and deciding that I wanted THAT taste, THAT high...
