Arizer Solo 3

Maybe not the oldest, but possibly the fartiest!
old-fart,
$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

Back after a couple years. Looking to upgrade my first gen Arizer Air to a Solo 3 v2

What's the cheapest these things have sold for by the official Arizer site?
Lowest price allowed by Arizer for the V2 is $239.99 USD. At Pipe Puffin, we pick up our cases directly from the Arizer warehouse in Kitchener ON, so we can list it that low to pass the savings on to you.

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.


$280 in Canada. $5 more than Arizer+coupon or PipePuffin

Does the Arizer Solo 3 have the same draw as an Arizer Solo 2? Or does the XL stem fix the milkshake like draw?

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.....

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.

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.
