Im waiting to see if I can get it to run down the stem like honey. Then I'm gonna give my vapor swing a thumping.
have you blokes ever heard of "a pedestrian conservation"? by gee you buggers are dull as dishwater. see you never. i don't see any reason to come back you boring buggers. oh fuck, get me an empty macca's cup so i can be as dull as you. i'd probably get higher on a choc shake than i would with your idea of olfactory senses and intelligence. when did young ppl get so god damned dull? and whatever you do please guard your solo against scuffing... it doesn't heat as well if it's marked lol.

Nice piece jdee! But why is there such a contraption on your stem?

Great Scott!
Dorkus do you have no screen on that stem? Personally I'd iso wash the stem and keep using the same iso batch to clean your stems for a while until you have green iso and just make hash from that. That's what I'm trying right now. Have a double bagged zip lock bag of green iso just waiting to be used to clean more stems then turned into hash. Any downside to that?

1/2" screens are about perfect in the Solo stem. I just bend them into a slight bowl shape and they are EZ to swap out, clean, and put into another stem. No cutting necessary!

Whoa, I just glanced into the chamber and saw that a good portion of the coating inside the bowl is flaking off! I'm going to take pictures and post shortly.
Edit: The health implications of this are appalling to me. I'll probably toss out my whole bowl of ABV. The rust-like redness is very much exaggerated by the lighting and the camera, it is nowhere near that obvious in person. The flaked coating however is completely obvious. I have not been rough at all on my Solo.
Maybe the electrical component smell like, what, two or three of us are reporting is actually the defective coating cooking off and, I don't know, giving us cancer.

I don't understand why shit like this isn't picked up in R&D BEFORE they release it to the general market. Reminds me of some of the crap that went on with the NO2's and makes me really appreciate all the testing, retesting and time that is being taken with the Cloud before bringing it to market.

i think the downside is that you will get a lot more "junk" in with your concentrate. generally, people will do a quick wash in iso, hence the qwiso term, in order to extract the goodness without too much chlorophyll and other non-desirable stuff. keep in mind that you have to get the iso out for a pure end product. the more iso you use the harder it is to get rid of it all.
i think in order to get the purest and 'easiest to harvest', concentrate you should try what dorkus_molorkus said: "Im waiting to see if I can get it to run down the stem like honey. Then I'm gonna give my vapor swing a thumping." once the honey oil has had enough time to build up, all you require to harvest it is a lighter and a dish. use the light to gently heat the glass stem until the oil runs into your dish. then dab away! vapor swing ftw! i would recommend using a finer screen though so you won't have the chunky bits but each to their own!
i also think that gong stems need to be an available accessory from arizer!

It took me a day or 2 to get around to putting a screen in, I was vapebonging, so I didnt get any particles in my mouth. But I did notice the build up of herb materials in the stem, so I put the screen it.
I know you cant see it from my pics, but in the base of the stem, I am getting a honey like build up similar what you get with the HA.
whereas the wand hash from my DBV is really thick & sludgy I have to scrape out, but with the solo stem I hope to heat it, and make it run. yummy still got as bit to go tho before that happens

I don't think I'd use your Solo anymore. I don't know what the coating is (I'd always assumed it was Teflon or some similar anti-stick coating), but if its out-gassing or if particulates are coming off of it and getting sucked up into your lungs, it can't be good.

holy shit batman.
I have a small chip in mine as well! and its not even 1 week old, about the size of a pinhead
you need to take the top off the unit in order to see properly.
well, this is a fucked new development.
CDS- will you be contacting arizer about yours? or you just going to swap it with V4W.net as per one of your previous posts?
I dont know whether I should contact arizer about mine, its such a minute chip, but its there & it it wasnt for CDS posting, I would have found it.
Maybe a few others out there could have a look at theirs?? you gotta take the top off & you might need a torch to see better.
FFS- I guess I better take the DBV out of storage and wait and see, what some other users are finding.

@CDS, holy shit, mine looks the exact same inside if not worse. I'm putting this thing down for the MFLB (Even if the hits are far inferior) until Arizer provides me with some answers of what this coating I've been scraping up and vaping is. Have you contacted them, with pictures, asking what the coating and or insulation material is made out of? If so please relay to us, I'll probably be sending an email of my own anyway now.
I don't want to just assume it's carcinogenic, chances are the flakes were not making it into our lungs and were being stopped by our herbs. I don't think we all have cancer, and probably havent inhaled anything. Realistically I think it would be temperature safe if it was inside there, and the flakes just sit in your bowl and have little real world impact.
But I still would want answers before further usage, The damn cloud needs to come out already so I can have a nice all glass airpath.
When it comes to the smell, I'm still pretty much absolutely certain what you are smelling (Or at least an odor my solo produces) is the same as the fabric insulation they use on the extreme, and not flakes cooking off or anything. I broke my heater cover a couple times, and changed it, and after a change the fabric always started to make a stronger smell for a short period, and it was identical to the solo smell. It's certainly a noticeable smell if you put your nose up to either vaporizer, but I never found it to bleed through into the vapor taste.

I have two small, what look like scratches about 1/16" long on the inside of the chamber. I can only see them if a I shine a torch into it. Only had it about 3 weeks, used approximately twice a day, never left the house. This is a disturbing trend to read about. I am going to stop using mine until there is more information available.
CDS & Willeh,
Have either of you inserted a metal screen of some sort into the chamber? I read about someone doing this and wondered if it might possibly damage the interior coating.

Okey dokey, this sounds really fucked guys. I agree that we probably dont all have cancer, but yep the solo is on a sabbatical till some answers arrive.
would someone be able to take some pics & email arizer pls?
I would take some pics of mine, but I think they would laugh at me. (its really tiny, so far being only 5 days old)
No, I haven't put a screen directly in the unit ever. What would that accomplish anyway? hah. I'm fairly sure this damage is from the friction of moving the stem around. One of my stems is VERY snug, and needs to be forced in sometimes when the stem or vape is cold. I've done so a few times, until I decided it was probably for the better to warm the vape up and put it in loosely. I have also played around with wiggling the stem in circles as I toke, which probably has accentuated the damage in mine.
Im planning on taking pictures and emailing, I want to know what the coating is, and what the extreme's insulation fabric is made of. I'll also link them to this thread, and ask if they could come on here and calm everyones worries if it is ok. I'll only have time to write the email later tonight though, I'm already wasting a lot of time on this post haaah.

I'm at a beer tasting, on my phone for a few more hours, anyone feel free to email arizer with the photos I took.
Damn, CDS! That if some fucked up shit right there. Your post made me grab a flashlight, unscrew the top and thoroughly inspect my unit. Thankfully it is still spotless in the heating chamber, but I would really like to find out what the hell happened and if there are health risks.
I'll be using just my PD for now until we can get some more information.
