$169 for a V1 seems like a good deal. Get it, verify it works, then do the free upgrade to V2 for the cost of shipping ($6), Deal!

I got the version 2 from them at a good price after shipping it was $204 for the 4/20 sale. Right now V2 is $280 from them so not as good as in the earlier sale

Thanks, but there are multiple coupon codes currently available for the official Arizer store that brings the price down to the same as what you're selling it for, so I'd rather just buy direct.Lowest price allowed by Arizer for the V2 is $239.99 USD.

The XL aroma tube is noticeably less restrictive, especially when applying the 3/4ths rule with a medium-coarse grind.

Yes, the stock XL has five holes in the glass screen compared to 4 holes for the regular size. Personally I don't use the stock stems and bowls because glass screens just clog too easily. When I do use them I place a metal screen on top to keep the holes free from debris.
A better option is aftermarket "hi-flow" stems and WPAs that use metal screens from places like SneakyPete's and 420edc.com. There's much better airflow with these types of screens. The restriction in the Solo is largely dictated by the resistance in the stem and not the unit itself. Don't overpack the stems and use the hi-flow ones if you can then the draw is quite open.

Agree.
You can test the flow for any device/stem by just inserting the stem in inhaling (no herb). That will give you a baseline for draw restriction.
Also, you can "convert" a glass screen to a high flow by using a drill bit, a mallet, and gloves (for safety). I've done it to a few cheap WPAs and it's worked very well. See Lee's video (you can skip to 4 minutes in). Lee isn't wearing gloves, but I did.

Wait, one of the main reasons I want to upgrade from the Air to the Solo 3 is to move away from the "milkshake" draw.
Might have to go back to the drawing board.....
Might have to go back to the drawing board.....
The milkshake draw always came from overtamping, which, in my experience usually occurs when using ground flower.
IMO these Arizer stem vapes are truly made to use unground herb.
I find the airflow problems and herb crumbs falling in the oven - the two biggest issues with these designs are easily avoided just by not grinding.
Might be a slower extraction but I reckon these were always meant to approximate a joint smoking experience anyways.

You've got lots of choice of 14mm hooks if you use a WPA like I like to do. Keeps the unit cleaner since it's upside down and you can pre-load WPAs and keep them in PVC tubes sort of like a bulkier capsule system.

Hi everyone,
I've been a Solo 3 user since September last year.
Up until early March, the Solo 3 was in daily use for me, until I got a Ballvape from Crossing Tech.
After that, the Solo 3 was just lying around and was only meant to be used for mobile sessions. But then I realized the Solo 3 is a bit too big for on-the-go use… Plus, I wanted a portable device that could use dosing capsules.
And as far as I know, there aren’t any dosing capsules for the Solo 3.
So I wanted to get a small portable vaporizer—and that’s when I picked up the Xlux Roffu. I’ve used it daily over the past two weeks and have been quite happy with it.
A few days ago, when the weather was warm and I was sitting on the balcony, I thought: why not do a session with the Solo 3 again?
I filled my glass stem with about 0.15g and had a session that lasted nearly 10 minutes…
Well, what can I say? I really missed the Solo 3. The session was super pleasant.
Why did I notice it so clearly?… When you've only used the Roffu for two weeks and then pick up the Solo 3 again, you suddenly realize just how powerful the Solo 3 really is.
I don’t want to talk down the Roffu—it costs half as much and was never meant to replace the Solo 3. But wow, the Solo 3 is seriously strong.
Now I’ve rediscovered the Solo 3 for home sessions. Normally, I only use the Ballvape at home—but it’s actually really nice to just sit back and enjoy a full session.

420EDC has dosing caps for the solo 3. They work best with xl tubes or the high Flo tubes 420EDC sells.

DUDES! This thing pulls! So much better than my first gen Air.
Still plan to buy a cooling stem but honestly don't even need it. The first gen Air felt so much hotter and dryer, especially since the draw was so much tighter.

That's dope. I tend to vape upside down anyway just to avoid direct conduction (or even combustion depending on temp) with the metal.

That's what I do too, I got loose fitting WPA with horn handle from GVB, hoping he will make more available with next drop to his store, even all in one as a hook stem, nice quick removal of S3 to clear hits and ideal airflow with a steel mesh basket screen

I have cooling stems and WPA, but I rarely use them. When I do, it is mostly for the variety.

Do you go through water or your throat can generally handle a regular stem? That's good if you can. I almost never vape weed in the S3 above 380F and usually start sessions around 338F if I'm tasting while temp-stepping but I like effective, dry cooling.

I thought I had a baby respiratory system, but maybe not. I usually temp step 160/180/200C. I have dimpled J-hooks and glass pieces made for water. I can't tell much difference other than having more to clean! I have not tried any recently. I took a three month trip to Asia last winter and just brought the stems (legal in Thailand). Maybe I just got used to it.
As a side note, my new (replacement) V2 still seems hotter than my other vapes at the same temperature. The AVB is very dark brown bordering on black at 200C and still produces vapour. I dunno.

Maybe. Maybe the Thai humidity helps everything?
Yeah that seems weird for 200C. 220C maybe.
