Arizer Solo 3

[George75]

This might be off-topic, but I'm facing an issue. I got used to the Solo 3 very quickly.
Initially, vaping 0.2g hit me hard, so I took a break for a few days.
Upon resuming, I vaped 1g daily for five days in a row. However, on the sixth day, vaping the XL stem (approximately 0.6g) produced little to no effect, the high was very weak. Given my typically low tolerance, this rapid increase within five days seems unusual. Is this possible? I don't recall a similar experience with the Air Max.
I'm aiming to vape about three times a week, consuming roughly 2.5-3 gr in total, rather than vaping daily.

I know tolerance is relative, vaping a gram a day is on the higher side of the average user, is my guess. You might want to take a longer T-break, if you are able to. Maybe a month to reset, then start at .25 to .5 grams a day.

Also, the XL stem is not 0.6g. You can pack in about 0.3g max (from memory) and that is hard to draw.

Was this all with the same weed?

Okay, thank you. I'm coming from a month's break. I'm considering taking a two-week break, after which I'll reduce the quantities.

Also, the XL stem is not 0.6g. You can pack in about 0.3g max (from memory) and that is hard to draw.

@chillAtGVC
XL stem is 0.6 gr according to Arizer.
Yes, same weed. It was Sweet Gelato Auto, first time I've tried it.

I use a scale that goes to 0.01g. You are not getting 0.6g in the XL stem.

@chillAtGVC
Perhaps your scale is faulty, this happens quite often.
I doubt Arizer is telling bullshit.

I found one site that says the XL tube has a capacity of .6g, but let's be real, you have to pack it pretty tight to get that. Also, I would assume the density of the buds would affect this. I think we can agree that the XL is double the capacity of the standard tube, and how much we can fit in the tube is dependent on variables that are different for different people (grind, density, pack level).

From what I can see, there's no capacity by weight shown on the Arizer page for the XL tube, which makes sense. Packed lightly, as recommended in the Solo 3 manual, I'll bet .3 or .4 is more realistic.

From the manual: Put some coarsely ground botanicals in a small container then gently push and slightly twist the glass stem into the container to fill the dish. Do not press too hard or pack too tightly.

POTV's review of the Solo 3 says the standard tube can hold .1 to .2 grams. So it follows the XL capacity would be .2-.4g

No, 0.6g is way off. I agree with @chillAtGVC that the maximum the XL bowl might hold is 0.3g and that is generous. I think it's realistically closer to 0.25g. I don't have a scale but recently I was out of the house with the S3 and a friend of mine gave me a 0.3g pre-roll to empty into my vape as I had run out of ground flower. I could almost fit the whole thing but decided not to pack it so tight so it's likely realistically less than 0.3g.

A regular dynavap tip is slightly less than 0.1g fully packed for reference, and I know that I could never fit six dynavap bowls in one Solo 3 XL bowl.
