Arizer Solo 3

[TigoleBitties]

I'm just gonna chime in on the stem hysteria here. I highly recommend using the WPA with a dry pipe if you want the best cooling. Dimples help a lot but it's the 90deg bends in glass that do the heavy lifting as far as cooling is concerned imo.

If you don't mind looking like Sherlock Holmes , I think this is the best cooling solution you'll find. Also, you can switch things up with any 14mm dry pipe you like and there are real advantages to using the S3 inverted. It keeps the oven clean and you never have to worry about flower falling into the oven. Here's an example.

I just bought 2 from AliExpress for for £11/$15 They sell them in 10mm 14mm and 18mm

From the sellers Mywarehouse Store & WideBest Store. I will post pics and say what they like when they arrive.

Also the stems I bought and posted about above still working fine.

Nice! I got mine from dhgate. It's also not expensive. I chose to use an 18mm pipe with a low-rise 14mm reducer (which you can also find on dhgate). If anyone's interested I can post the links later.

Anyone having opinions/experience on the Ed’s TnT stem? Does the metal bowl allow for the same conduction part as glass does?

I tried that Ed stem way back when with the old solo, absolutely hated it... For a variety of reasons. Also still loving my 18 mm WPA from GVB so no longer needs reducers

I also personally think those hooks filled with tiny, probably cheap glass not boro, balls that might be beads (yes they look like they have holes through them, terrible to use, would not trust for safety at all), look awful... Seems like it would clog up with condensed vapor quickly and be annoying to clean, there are so many better hook options out there, without even being much more money

 

[Tji89]

I agree with Shit Snacks. Glass stem is way better.

reccomended vape supplies now has custom stems in for the solo 3. They have glass and mesh bowl and the holes are much much bigger than the OG stem

Solo 3 XL Cooling Aroma Tubes

We've made some upgraded Cooling Aroma Tubes with XL herb chambers for the Solo 3 to help reduce the heat from the vapor and provide a smoother feeling on the throat than the originals. Available in Mesh and Glass Screen variants and Dimpled or 10 BB Ruby ball cooling stems.

Bigger holes sounds great. It’s a pity that they come as XL version only, as I prefer the standard bowl for a more even and thorough roast.

I think they have the non XL stems coming also soon as still says on the "coming soon page"

Due to a lot of scientific research lately, I’m a little short of weed at the moment. But I have accumulated a good amount of keef. Also I have some vape wool laying around for years, so I figured I give it a try with the S3. This resulted in a surprisingly long session at 180C with a quick finishing roast at 220C. Tasted great and worked for sure, I can recommend this a lot.

Those cooling stems from Rec Vapes look awesome. Some good options there to cater to most preferences. I was going to just pick up a mesh one but seeing the bigger holes on the glass screen ones I think I’ll get both to try.

Hopefully the standard size is coming as I’ll echo what others have said about the standard size being their preference.

Rec Vapes are a business well worth supporting. They’re based in a town a 10 minute drive from me and Matt, the owner is a great guy who is focused on getting his customers the best gear from around the world here in England. There’s very few fluff products on the site because of this. They also do a fair few of their own things when there’s demand from us for something, like high quality vape designed glassware and now these stems.

 

[Hoodwink]

Couldn’t figure out a way to search for this so I’m asking: do aftermarket Sold II stems fit the Solo III as well?

Yes they do. All of the Arizer Solo and Air glass stems are compatible with any of the products from those lines. I think it’s only the argo stems that aren’t.

I am waiting on my solo 3 and ordered the beads stem from Sneaky Pete, looks like a damn nice cooling stem! Anyone tried it?

I have that bead-filled hook from AliExpress and you are correct on all accounts. The plain glass items I have gotten from them are good (AFAIK anyway) but this one was a solid miss.

My only reluctance to purchase a Solo 3 is a comment by Troy on a Troy and Jerry video that he coughs more with the Solo 3. He's using the larger bowl in on-demand mode. And he often runs at high temps close to combustion. Are y'all coughing more with your Solo 3?

I will go with no. I use both a Venty and a Solo 3 daily and both make me cough. It is not the heat, it is the terps. And being a little greedy on some inhales. I never learn.

 

[eyevape]

No, because I’m used to strong vapor and therefore act cautious. But if I would hit this thing like Troy did (saw the video), I’d probably cough as well.

Starting at 180C and then stepping up produces pretty smooth vapor. I personally like to start at 200C, sometimes right at 220C. At this temps you have to know what you’re doing, otherwise coughing would be very likely.

Is the S3 capable of making me cough the crap out? Hell yes. Can it be tamed for every level of lung sensitivity? Absolutely. Does it protect from being too greedy like @chillAtGVC or myself? Fuck no

Hi,

I'll also be a Solo 3 user in the next few days and will definitely have a few questions.

But for coughing:
I've often read that Solo 3 can be as hard as TM2.
My lungs are also quite sensitive and I only use my Dynavap M7XL with a bong. With the stem it scratches my neck far too much.
Sure I could go down with the temperature, but the high is more intense at higher temperatures.

I also think that I will almost only use the Solo 3 on the bong to work with higher temperatures

 

[chillAtGVC]

As @eyevape alluded to, temp stepping gets a lot of the terps that cause coughing into you at lower temperatures. I usually use 180c then 198c then 210c to clear the bowl. That greatly reduces coughing, give or take greedy episodes. Going straight to 210c requires more restraint to avoid coughing as you are getting all the terps at a higher temp. The delicious vapour does not help in restraint.

Yeah, no, after my earlier tests when I first got it, now I don't abuse myself with it that way at all anymore lol I ride low temps and I recommend them in every vape, temp stepping bit by bit too, I'd rather take multiple smoother hits than one that destroys me (that's what dabbing is for lol also heavier hitting plug-in vapes or even portable pure convection better then, but the hybrid heating of solo is definitely harsher at upper level imo so no reason to hurt yourself)

If you want to work at high temps right from the start then yes, you'll need some good cooling to tame the vapor. I agree that higher temps will give you the stony effect you're looking for but it depends how fast you want to get there.

You can get there quickly by ripping the S3 at temps >200C but you'll probably have to go through water or a nice long dry pipe with lots of cooling bends and dimples if your lungs are sensitive.

If you're willing to take your time, you can still get the stony effect by temp stepping as others have pointed out. Your final destination may still be >200C but you can start at lower temps and take your time getting there. It should be easier on your throat, as well as being a tastier journey.

I personally have never found the need to go over 200C with flower. Just concentrates. But hey, to each his own and it's nice to know the power is there if you want it.

 

[PrematureEvaporation]

I seem to have settled on exclusively higher temps - 210-215-220 are my session presets. I really like the upfront “flavour punch” and the stony effects. I’ve tried the low temp lifestyle but I seem to prefer the bite of higher temp vapour and general intensity of the experience. Up to a point of course

Yeah it can be hot for sure, and definitely induce some intense coughing fits. A few things fixed that for me. Firstly taking smaller inhales instead of aiming for every inhale to be a lung buster. A cheap dimpled cooling stem, it also catches particles that could come through and cause further irritation. Finally, using unground material to keep airflow at a maximum and again stop any particles coming through.

Sometimes I’ll push for the grand slam of effects this thing can offer though, and accept the consequences of it as part of the fun. I pack a stem full, throw it on 220c from the start and then I’ll inhale for as long as I can at the beep, exhale, keep doing the same until there’s no more vapour. Man that hits hard
