Arizer Solo

I keep the heating element and aluminum case of my first SOLO just in case I need some spare parts.

Also I can hook up the heater to an Arduino and PWM it with 12v + sense temps, and works as a charm.

I was actually planning on selling my Solo 2 since it was getting neglected in my rotation, however..

Nostalgia kind of hit me (it was my first vape after all!) and I wanted to revisit it since I've been mostly using my Bowle and Vapman lately and damn. Maybe a .15 bowl hit me pretty solid. The extraction is still on the slower slide, but for cooking dinner and relaxing it was perfect. Better flavor than I remember too.

Maybe I need to get a new WPA for it instead of selling it!:rofl:

Yeah I was the same, always thinking about selling or passing along my Solo2. But it was my first “real” vape after a years old Pax2. Just couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it despite “better and newer”. It’s now firmly back in the rotation, was just running it last night dry through a bubbler. You should definitely get a WPA.

I find myself using the straight SOLO stem to add extra cooling glass for the ArGo stem, the fit is very tight without any kind of seal, just glass to glass. Works as a charm, I have two straights I keep cool on ice while I do 220 C on the Argo.

Hello! Is anyone here? I knocked but the door was open so I walked in. Anyone home?
This is beginning to feel like the time I walked in and through the college house unsuccessfully looking for my son, who I later learned, moved out with all his friends.

I wonder why nobody ever tells me anything. I guess I will wander over to Solo 2 to see if anyone is home there.

I'm still rocking my SOLO after my ArGo crapped the bed.

I need to find some time to start working on connecting and old SOLO heater element I have laying around and make a small desk vape with an oled screen + arduino.

Maybe some time during this year :D most difficult task is finding the parts scattered around one hundred million boxes around my home.

Mine actually has bigger holes in oven than the very first Solo, like a Solo 1b maybe.
Are you referring to the holes in the glass or the four holes in the heater bottom?
From time to time, and recently, I try to poke a small wire into those holes to clear them.
I never understood the complaints about 'straw-sucking' until I tried a TM.

Certainly there exists variations among glass stems sold for Solos. I have Arizer glass and direct from China stems. One Chinese stem will not fit the ovens of either of my Solos nor my Tera.
I do like a leisurely session and a Solo is so simple and long lasting, battery life, sessions, enjoyment.

The biggest reason I keep it plugged in: it starts right away when you press the temperature up button :D

Resumed tracking consumption this week, sitting at the 28th bowl haha, how much does the regular stem bowls hold? 0.15 or 0.20?

I know I should fill many bowls, weight and then divide, but my scale is so rough I would need to fill hundreds of bowls to have a good sample.

Having done bowls and weighing and time, I worked out (for my stems) the math that said .16g per fill.

I neither measure nor weigh the herb.
It makes me happy.
For sure, I never measure, just had a very good harvest, great actually, and truly wanted to know how long is going to last, so I don't sleep on the next harvest and have to take an unwanted break :D

Currently at 2.16g per day, that's a lot haha

I have always vaped at level 7 on my SOLOs, starting an experiment vaping at lower temperatures, will do a small batch and test for AVB potency at level 5.

Any other preference?

Starting on 5 gives longer usage on the same bowl plus is not that hot that makes you cough, a lot tastier.

I'm slowly going down on a path to microdosing, extracted 18x 30 seconds pulls on a tightly packed stem at 7 level so I'm figuring let's pack 1/4 and call it a day with 1/4 of those pulls each session, coupled with the lower level, makes an overall better experience and smart usage.
