ARIZER SOLO 2 MAX
- Thread starter sickmanfraud
- Start date
Ok, so after another night of trying the Solo out, I realized I missed an important variable and how that could affect my evaluation.
The Mighty+ only goes up to 410....the Solo does 428. This is probably affecting my perception of the Solo extracting better...when I bumped up the temp to max on the Solo...I noticed quite an intense effect from the weed hitting me...kinda similar to first time using the Mighty+ - heavy body buzz in my head etc. - I am def getting higher than w the Mighty, I have no doubt whatsoever, but the main contributing factor is probably the temp I'm thinking? Not positive.
Is it something that would make me never use the Mighty again because I feel like I'm missing out? No. But it is def significant and im not getting it w the Mighty.

Does it extract better when you let it heat soak like the other Arizer devices or is the performance the same when you start hitting it as soon as it gets to temp?
Yes, it hits much better if you let it heat soak. This is my first Arizer product, so I do not know how the others are with heat soaking. I have the same experience with the Mighty though. It is better to wait at least 30 sec to a minute prior to hitting even after it reaches temp. Especially at lower temps I want to do this.
I really like the Solo 2 Max. I'm going to get a couple new stems for it. Not that what comes stock doesn't work, I just like to experiment. I didn't use either Mighty nor Solo last night....my Dynavaps came in the mail. I tried those with the Ispire Wand. That was a lot of fun too.

I am a big Arizer fan, however, coming out with the Solo II Max 4 months before the Solo 3 is not right.
I am just glad that I was waiting for the inevitable price drop.
Now I can skip 2 Max. If I had bought one, I think I would be very unhappy.

I bought one and was a little pissed until I watched a few reviews and seen the startup sequence, that would have pissed me off more having to do that all the time(maybe it’s a April fools joke and we’ll be able to turn it off, you can hope). I love my S2 Max and quite happy with it, I just want to pick up the XL wpa/stem. Using caps with hash in the Arizers is working really good, so I‘m kind of wondering how the S 3 would do with hash with that robust heater, curious minds want to know.
I kinda laughed at first when I saw the email from Arizer pushing the 3. I bought the 2Max, and I like it a lot, however, I do feel like I was played. Of course I would much prefer the latest iteration of the Solo. It isn't the money. I have the money to buy both. But I have money to buy both because I'm not a sucker. And I would feel like a sucker if I bought the 3 at this point. This has left a sour taste in my mouth. The vendor can't do anything because I used it, and Arizer just offered it up at a discount. its a little less than 20 bucks off of the best deals you see online. Not happy with Arizer, but happy with the 2Max. I decided I won't be buying the 3. I'll probably just wait for another manufacturer to come out with something that catches my interest.
Did you hear???? Arizer announced that they will take orders for the Solo 3 MAX in June. The shelf life of their products has dramatically dropped. Gotta grab that money! lol. ok, I had my fun. Peace.
I posted an update in the Solo 3 thread...after complaining directly to Arizer about the close releases of the 2 Max and the 3...they made a discounted offer on the 3. I initially turned down their first offer, they followed up with another better offer and I couldn't say no at this new price point. I suggest anyone who bought a 2 Max and wants the 3 to contact a sales rep and see what they can do. Here's the email:

It's been a bit of time and I thought I would provide an update on my usage and preferences for anyone considering the S2Max.
When I first bought the 2max it was a very short amount of time before the 3 was released. So the 2 max took a back seat to the other two new vapes I was using ...which are the solo 3 on the weekends w an XL bowl config of some sort and during the week nights just a dynavap or two with the wand.
Dynavaps don't leave much for flavor compared to a solo of any sort, but I really preferred them because it was fast and on a weeknight time is my enemy (early riser).
Lately I've been a little bored with the dynavaps and went back to the 2 max. It works really well and the taste is great like the S3. It produces dense clouds like the 3 as well, but at lower temps (335F) it doesn't produce as much...of course the XL bowl will produce more because it's just more product being vaped...but my point is if you are using the 3 with a regular stem (not XL size), I'm not sure there is much, if any, performance difference between the 2max and the 3. Yeah the 3 may heat up a little quicker...the 2max heats up pretty fast as well....
I'm guessing there isn't a lot of discussion on this vape because the difference in price between the 2max and 3 isn't vast, so most just buy the 3...but if you don't use the XL bowl, I'm thinking you may as well get a 2max unless there is some other unique characteristic about the 3 that you prefer. The taste and performance seem really similar.
On demand and XL (larger oven for more product) seem to be the only real difference. Well, the 2max has a much smaller footprint too...that's a bonus vs the 3's size....can't overlook that..
I'm enjoying this vape a lot and making use of it again when I have an extra 10-20 mins in the week night evenings vs the dynavaps.
I've used the mighty as well recently...and I still prefer the 2max over it, but every once in a while I'll use mighty+....but it is the least used vape now.
Enjoy
