If anyone is on the fence when it comes to the Arizer Solo and Solo II, I can say that they both have a well deserved reputation.
The Solo II was the second vape I purchased. After researching here, I thought that the Arizer was the right choice and it would be the only vape I needed; I was wrong. Vapes are like flashlights; there is always room for one more.
It took time to learn to the love the Arizer Solo II. I like it at first, then I thought that the draw was too restrictive, then I seemed to vacillate back and forth. What made the difference was learning how to pack the tubes and being patient. The Solo II works best for me when I load it, bring it to temp, wait 3-5 minutes, and then start vaping. As for vaping technique, waiting a couple of minutes between draws lets the oven better cook the herb, and produce more vapor.
The key to the Solo line is making sure that air flows through the aroma tube, before inserting into the heater. When properly packed, draw is NOT an issue. Pack too tight, and it is like drinking an overly thick milkshake.
Once I learned to slow down, be patient, and enjoy the ritual, the Solo II became one of my daily drivers. What I have come to like about the Arizer is the way that it works. I can pack a few extra tubes, grab my Solo and I'm good for a few hours.
Last week I picked up an Arizer ArGo. I thought it was a bit underpowered, but again, a bit of patience goes a long way. The ArGo cooks herb just fine; it just needs a bit of time. It is the same basic idea, pack correctly, be patient, and the ArGo can produce a decent buzz. Again the aroma tubes are the clincher. I can pack the ArGo and a few prefilled tubes and I am ready for stealth mode.
