Arizer Solo II

Thanks for answering. I also want to ask if it is ok to use 2 screens in the bowl. top and bottom so i keep my stem and device clean
I usually use a screen on the bottom to keep the little bits from dropping into the oven (especially when my stuff was super dry). Don’t see any reason why you couldn’t put a screen at the top of the chamber too, but I never bothered since the stems were so easy to clean

We run mostly OG Airs v2 (with bevels in bottom of oven) as well as Air SEs.
Some stems are tight, some not. Not a problem in use.
Many sources are selling stems for Arizer at reasonable prices.
Arizer products are very powerful.

Thank you so much for answers everyone! I love this thing. In the past I only had vapcaps for 5-6 years and now i got a solo 2 and i feel this thing hits harder. Maybe because of the slower extraction? I don't know. What I do know is that solo 2 max is my new daily driver :)

Thanks!

Do y'all recommend using it exclusively upside down? I saw that teardown video where the insides around the oven look filthy. How do I avoid that situation? Should I plop a screen into the bottom of the oven to catch anything from falling into it?

Do y'all find the stock mouthpiece lacking? I don't currently have a water pipe and I'm wondering what setup I'll prefer.

the best thing to do is try out the stems that come with it, you may be happy with them. test the vape at various temperatures, find what works for you, everyone is different! Then you can try other stems, etc. I love my S2 with a bong,I do use them stock stem occasionally.

Good Vibes Boro is making Solo stems now, I got a WPA for my S3 from him so now I only use it upside down comfortably, yeah I like that better although it is nice to use it right side up, if you pack well enough or use a screen etc? It's all up to how you care for it, you don't have to let it get dirty regardless

So..... when the power button on my Solo II broke, I figured maybe time to upgrade. I got a solo 2 Max. It was a total mess, electronics malfunctioning after a single use that drained the battery 50% in one use! SO.......... I returned it and upgraded ( so I thought ) to the Solo 3. First unit ran WAY hot first hit fried my lungs to the point I couldn't vape for 3 days! Sent it back under warranty and Arizer replaced it. This one worked but the vapor was still VERY harsh, even with the temp turned way down ( 350F ). I run my solo II at 390 F and couldn't ask for a more perfect hit! So I'm sending the Solo 3 down the road and I just got another Solo II. Used it last night, works exactly like my old one, perfectly! Now I'm considering a Air SE to replace my Argo.

*Sigh* These may be some of the final days of my 2nd gen Solo...

My 3rd gen was just ordered and the transition ceremony to its new vaporist are being prepared now.
:D

Anyone have a link to a durable charger for the Solo2? Love the vape, but the charging cables seem to be too flimsy. I’ve probably gone through a couple dozen since it first came out. Thank goodness for switching to a type C connection!

Greetings and hallucinations to my fellow Arizer II aficionados. About a year ago, I purchased an Airizer Solo II to replace my Solo 1 after a battery replacement failed to bring that older model back to life.

Simultaneously, I bought an Airizer Air SE at a significantly lower price. Based on the sale price alone, I expected to see bigger clouds and better overall performance from the Airizer Solo II, but that did not turn out to be the case.

Even with the temperature of the Solo 2 dialed all the way to the maximum, I have never been able to get the cloud volume and density I expected from the Solo 2, given that I had been so pleased with the Airizer Solo 1 that I relied on exclusively until the battery failed after about 2 years of heavy use.

To my surprise, the far cheaper Airizer Air SE that I bought at the same time as the Solo II, consistently produced massive clouds of vapor that stood in stark contrast to the wispy clouds I obtained with identical stem densities to what I used with the Air SE. Assuming that there had to be a higher temperature setting obtainable by reading the manual for the Solo 2, I was taken aback to see that there is NO means to generate bigger clouds with the Solo II.

In short, the Airizer Solo 2's performance has proven to be inferior to the Solo 1 and to the Airizer Air SE, despite its costing quite a bit more than both of those models. If any users of the Solo II can offer ideas as to how I can see better clouds with this Solo 2, I'd be grateful for any tips that can be offered. I resorted to using my Airizer Air SE almost exclusively, to the extent that its oven is showing signs of corrosion now, while the Solo II sits virtually unused but for an occasional battery charge to keep it from dying altogether.

Well in the few years I’ve owned the Solo2, it’s never been a cloud chucker and I’ve never needed or expected it to be. It’s my ten minute sipping vape. That’s it’s only role in my vape lineup. Flavor sipper. Upside down on a dry water piece, it’ll do that too, will fill up a piece with vapor and get you as right as the rain. Just added a Solo 3 the other day. I plan to keep that one in On Demand mode for bedtime quick hitting clouds that’ll ease the pain from the days and help me sleep. Honestly, I don’t recall ever reading any reviews touting the Solo2 as a cloud chucker. The Solo 3 might be your huckleberry.

No, the Solo 2cis not inferior, you just have a unit with a weak heater and should be sent in for warranty. My solo 2 is used almost exclusively with a bong at bed time, and it produces enough vapor to make me cough, even through our Ice bong!

I sure appreciate this reply, Canic. Until I read your post, I naively presumed that any vaporizer that sells for over $150 would feature user settings for thin to thick vapor clouds. I loved my Solo 1 because it delivered dense clouds that quickly put me on Cloud 9, so I was expecting more of the same with the Solo II. I did look for a Solo 1 but could no longer find any new ones on sale, hence my purchase of the Solo II.

Aha now this is a scenario that figures. It never occurred to me that Airizer would, on rare occasions, ship units with defective heaters. Good thing I bought a cheaper Airizer Air SE, that I wound up using exclusively. Seeing as this Solo II is over a year old, I am not sure of its warranty status, but the main reason I won't send it back is because of the draconian cannabis laws where I live. I'll just have to write off this purchase as a loss.

Have you tried it with a dry or wet piece to see if it will properly fill a chamber? Also, the first few times I used my Solo2, I was kind of like “where is the vapor”? That was outside on the patio. When I tried it at my desk at night with only the desk lamp on, it was like a car scene from Cheech and Chong, there was so much vapor.

I tested the Solo 2 for a week after having the OG Solo for years. I found the vapor to be slightly better with the OG Solo. Came to the conclusion that there is a very slight difference in the oven (Depth?) between the two devices and that the digital display and other upgrades weren't significant enough to warrant the price difference. Several other folks agreed and several others didn't so....your milage may vary.
I did the above quoted test (in 2021) while deciding whether to buy more OG Solos or get a Solo2. Based on the test I bought a couple OG Solos on a really great clearance sale and and now I have 4 working OG Solos. Two have never been used yet. One of the 2 in rotation was a battery replacement.

If my observation that the Solo 2 has a slightly smaller oven depth is correct that might explain the drop in vapor at similar temps when compared to the OG.

I always use a bubbler with my vapes because I am one of the few vape users who would suffer major lung damage if I made the mistake of using a vaporizer without a bubbler. Dry vapor is kryptonite to me, and I stumbled on this fact the hard way when I first started vaping. I wrote a few posts in this forum about my near-death experience when I used an Airizer Air without a bubbler, and even commented that in an ideal world, all vaporizers would be mandated to carry a warning that bubblers are absolutely essential for some users with sensitive lungs.

The observation made by His Highness in the post above this one, that the oven in the Solo 2 is notably shallower than that of the Solo 1, seems a plausible reason why the Solo 2 hasn't measured up to the Solo 1 in terms of vapor cloud volume. Before I bought the Solo 2, I ran several searches for a Solo 1 online but regrettably never found one. New-fangled iterations of a classic design are not always improvements on the original.
