Arizer Solo 3

[TigoleBitties]

Oh yeah I must admit that I never got my hands on rosin. Trading cannabis products is still illegal in Germany, so I have to take what black market gives. What’s it like?

Here's a pic of the rosin I had recently in the S3. This one is LA Kush Cake but I have a few others. Key Lime Pie is really nice

Last time I talked about doing a fixed screen most people objected to that idea, though I like the minimalism of them myself.
They make the parts a lot more expensive/complicated to produce though,
With the S3 Ive found the fixed screen harder to clean than on previous models though.

I was considering just doing a basic mesh screened, direct draw stem and WPA combo package.
Or maybe something with a more advanced cooling stem. Been using my S3 here and there so it would be fun to do something for it.

I wouldn't be interested in a Zirconia stem unless it was one piece with a fixed screen. I've been really enjoying how easy it is to maintain the stock one piece stems. Would be awesome if you did a short length one like Arizer's 70mm stems. That's what I've mostly been using, but I'm sure that's not a popular opinion, and I would still be interested in a 90mm length if it fits in the storage tubes.

Can’t wait for the second step of legalization to happen here in order to buy rosin, dabs and all that good shit

I hear you. Very happy you have achieved the first step! Most of Europe is very weed-unfriendly.... it's a shame.

I love rosin as it's a solventless process, just heat and pressure and the pure flower. This rosin is listed as 64-75% THC. The smell, taste and high is so intense. The vapor is almost sweet. I hope you get access to this stuff soon.

Yes, they’re still scared of weed here somehow, hope this will get better with time as people fear what they don’t know. Beneath specialities like dabs and rosin it would be so nice to have just the choice between different strains. But what you’re describing sounds pretty much next level. As I said, I can’t wait

@pop22 The Solo 3 is more powerful. Perhaps it is vaporizing more terpenes than the S2 per unit of air and that is causing the irritation? I find the Venty, with S&B's notorious Bickle Tickle, makes me cough less than the S3. That said, I still love the Solo 3, but I try to have restraint in how large of a hit I take.

Thank you for the reply.
I'm taking very short inhales and I've reduce the temperature I normally use by 30 degrees F. Yes the S3 is more powerful, but it would seem to me that that equates to it being able to maintain the set temperature better during an inhale. well know that it can produce huge clouds of vapor! But I can tolerate a much bigger volume of vapor from any other vape without problem. I realize it seems to make no sense. I'm going to see what Arizer has to say.

 

[TigoleBitties]

This is absolutely true. The consequence is that the vapor just builds and builds because you can't overpower the heater like with most portables.

well know that it can produce huge clouds of vapor! But I can tolerate a much bigger volume of vapor from any other vape without problem.

This is (I think) because the volume of vapor you're seeing from another (less powerful) vape is less dense. Perhaps larger in volume but less dense.
With less powerful vapes, your inhale overpowers the heater eventually and the vapor becomes thinner and thinner. This vapor is probably easier on your throat.

The S3 heater algo seems very good at matching your draw so the consequence of continuing to pull is that the vapor just gets thicker.

I love how I can purchase enough booze to easily kill myself from alcohol poisoning but weed is a problem and has to be heavily scrutinized. We're allowed to gather 50K drunk people in a soccer stadium (because that's safe) and where has that gotten us? Maybe it's just me but I'd much rather be surrounded by 50K people who were all high as far as fearing for my safety is concerned. Double standard.

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

What does your heating chamber look like?

Even though I use the bong upside down, I have a slight black spot in one place on the corner of the chamber.

I'm also having a hard time getting to the spot, the stain was a bit bigger and I cleaned it up, but it's still easy to see

Even worse, alcohol is more than socially accepted. You’re not drinking? So you must be the driver or, if you’re female, pregnant. Must be hell to be addicted to this shit.

I live up north in Germany, so luckily Oktoberfest is not this much of a thing here, even though there are knockoffs. But man, down there in Bavaria it’s fucking nuts. Hundreds of thousands of heavily drunk folks, yelling, urinating and vomiting everywhere, lotta violence, lotta raping… that’s German Leitkultur Fuckin worst place down there, they even refuse the cannabis legalization and gender correct speech is prohibited - no joke.

Up here we got the Fusion Festival. One week, 80k people, all kinds of drugs - no issues, just peace

There should be four rectangular holes at the bottom of the oven for the air intake and these weird circular depressions.

I would turn the Solo upside down and use a damp qtip with iso to try and clean the spot if it's resin. You can use a toothpick or chopstick or a plastic golf tee to scrape it away if that helps. Those materials won't scratch the oven.

emmm, I live in the south, exactly in Munich... Oktoberfest is 5 minutes away.
Anyway, I have to say that I'm reading the "lots of rapes" thing for the first time.
It's normal that a lot of people get drunk at Oktoberfest. But generally everything goes pretty peacefully here.
I grew up near Oktoberfest and still live here.
Still, it's crazy that you can drink until you pass out, but beware of anyone getting caught with a joint. Despite the legalization.

Yeah, I love a drink as much as the next person but alcohol is just straight up poison for your body. Nothing good about it, at all, is the recent scientific consensus. The links to rage and violence and self harm are well known but we've accepted it largely because we couldn't stop bootleggers.

Still, it's crazy that you can drink until you pass out, but beware of anyone getting caught with a joint.

True. And just imagine the things a person might do just before the point at which they pass out. Not great.

I didn't mean to offend you or any folks living in Munich. It’s just that there are statistics about sexual offenses including rape happening at and around Oktoberfest. Usually the real numbers are a multiple of that. And we all know how alcohol works, at least I do. It’s dangerous.

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

I don't feel insulted. I just wanted to set the record straight.
Of course it's not nice for people to touch women when they're drunk, but so far it hasn't escalated.

Of course there was also “real rape”. But such cases were rather isolated cases that could happen anywhere.
But it's not the case that women are raped a lot, especially at Oktoberfest

But well.. come back to Solo 3

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

Somehow I burned my lungs yesterday.
Just before going to bed, I made a pot with a bong.
At 195 degrees...
Normally this isn't a problem, but I think I got too greedy and pulled long and fast.
Afterwards I had to cough really badly and my throat hurt for at least 30-45 minutes afterwards... It was really irritable.
Even this morning I feel the irritation and still have a cough

This is what happens to me, even with a fairly small inhale! and I'm running the vape at 365F (185C)

Yeah, sometimes just plain hot air can be the culprit? Or maybe all the terpenes just really irritated your throat? It should pass with a bit of time.

What kind of cooling are you using?

 

[pop22]

What kind of cooling are you using?

I'm using an Ice Bong! Filled with ice cold water and the upper glycerin filled section put in the freezer for 24 hours. You can't get a cooler hit than this!

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

I've also vaped at 200-210-220 degrees... Although I'm careful...

But I have no idea what I did wrong yesterday... I think I was just too greedy... But I didn't feel like I necessarily pulled much more than usual.

But it really hurt afterwards...

The next morning I also felt that my lungs were still hurting.


and something else:

Somehow I have the feeling that my heating chamber is getting dirtier every day... Even though no crumbs fall and I actually only use the bong upside down and I'm careful not to turn it, small black spots keep appearing.

When I see your photos, they look almost new

Maybe your bong is somehow giving some back pressure when you're using it and forcing vapor back towards the solo? You could try removing the Solo by hand briefly as you're finishing your hits to see if this helps. I never have trouble keeping my oven clean.

Those weren't my own pictures (just an example from a website) but I find it easy to keep the oven this clean.

Ok. I like low-temp sessions so I often start the S3 as low as 328F and many times I'll finish a bowl never going beyond 358F. At these temps, the only thing that will sometimes irritate your throat is just the pure terpenes from the flower. The S3 is amazing at preserving all of these in the vapor. If they're too much for you with certain strains then you may have to go through water to help.

Cooler does not equal better IMO. I had way more comfort using WARM water than ice COLD water and there might actually be a thread on this somewhere. Not to mention less phase change/reclaim.

Not referencing a thread on this site, but I can confirm that 'warm' is better than 'cold'. I used to study voice (singing), and my teachers always pushed hot over cold, as far as putting anything down your throat.

Singing doesn't mean a rat's ass for anyone here, most likely... but what I'm pointing out is that 'warm' is less stressful on your esophagus.

Along with this... saline nasal spray, applied as needed, keeps those passages clear(er), and relieves burning (from dry nasal passages).

Have you tried a little iso on a Q-tip, and swabbing it down ?

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

Yes, of course I tried, but I can't get it clean anymore.
It's less than a week old and I'm wondering what it would look like in the next few months.
and it surprises me because I use it upside down and nothing falls in

Maybe you could show a picture? These little black spots must be resin deposits otherwise I have no idea what else it could be. Are you leaving a decent 1-2mm clearance of space from the top in your glass bowl? I think maybe these spots were resin that wasn't cleaned away quickly and now they've hardened?

The oven is stainless steel. Isopropyl alcohol should clean those spots very quickly. I've had my S3 for some months now and no issues like that.
