Arizer Solo 3

[Shit Snacks]

Yeah so the Solo 3 is great, but I fired it up just now and it showed me low charge, I plug it in and is shows me 27% charged. That's high for a low charge. Is that normal? This is a warranty replacement and the other one even when the battery indicator was red you could still get a bowl. This one I don't even get to the battery indicator flashing red.

Yes this has come up before, it should have another dash, instead it considers having no dash showing, 25% left lol

So after maybe a year using the S3 as a nice low-temp session vape, I finally got curious enough to explore the on-demand side of things. I know, I'm lazy and it was such a great sipper in session mode. But I do have a lot of great convection vapes including the Bowle2 which is about as on-demand as it gets.

But wow. I was wrong. Maybe it's the on-demand honeymoon period but I really love using the S3 this way. The signature is definitely different. Much more convection bias, especially on the first draw. Really pleasing.

Right now my formula is Level 4 start with a fresh 2/3 full XL bowl to get things warmed up nicely. Then, once the glass is warm and more conduction is creeping in, I'll move to level 3 for a couple more draws to finish it off.

Interesting. I've tried on-demand a few times but always went back to session mode. But I have always gone 3 - 4 - 5. I will have to try going from 4 to 3.

Yeah, I found if you started at level 4 and moved down, then you get a super tasty first hit and moving to level 3 counters the stored heat in the glass so you never get any burnt or popcorn taste for the rest of the session. I guess you could also move from 5 to 4 if you wanted something even more intense but with less risk of popcorn taste.

I've only been using on demand mode for months... Mostly level 4... Taste isn't always that important to me... I prefer the couch feeling.
But I only use Solo 3 at home with a bong... I set the time to 15 seconds... It depends if I set it to 20 or 25, which my lungs can handle, but it's hard

Standard setting was 20s, I had to lower it to 15s. Using level 4 feels quite right this way. Will try to go down instead of up

Mine is set to only 10 seconds and I still use the lower settings almost exclusively with on demand mode, drawing once complete lol

I use mine at 2 and 20 seconds, does it get hotter faster when the seconds are lower? I’ve honestly never even messed it all my settings are still stock lol…yes session rocks lol

No, I just think it gets hot quickly, when I tried using it with 15 or 20sec at middle setting, it scorched the load black and was extremely harsh for me, too many back-to-back hits instead of just one, as I prefer

It is completely relative, to your time and temp settings when using on demand mode, so level 2 for 20 seconds is much hotter than level 2 for 10 seconds in my experience
