Arizer Solo

[ludwig]

Its a small device...won't be able to fill the whole room but then again I never tried...but it will work for sure.

Thats what I thought- perhaps if I placed it on a coffee table close to where my girlfriend relaxes on the couch- it would work better that way I would think

But perhaps who uses it on a normal basis might chime in with some tips using the potpourii dish

Its worth a try, its so small and compact

I might grab a Solo. The potpourii dish intrigues me. My girlfriend enjoys aromatherapy to relax herself. Is it possible to fill the dish with some water, few drops of essential oil, turn on the Solo and let it fill the room with the aroma?

It will work for 12 minutes...
and consume a valuable charge cycle

My only thought is that the heat may not penetrate the load and the bottom (top?) layer will not get thoroughly cooked.

I have actually had the same idea (bigger bowl). The green that remains at the top acts as a flavor filter to some degree, and can be stirred into the mix later in the session to extend the session/s. To me, makes good sense!

I agree, the small bowl size is a very common complaint so I would guess that if a bigger (deeper) bowl would work as well either arizer or PV would have offered it by now

Forget that. Doesn't work at all. I think the dish is just a prop for legal reasons.

I'm surprised no one in this thread has figured out a way to load a Solo stem backwards and draw through the bowl end, lol

I don't think that would work either, that dish really is fairly worthless. If you are looking for a device to do double duty like that, your best bet is the DBV or SSV, I have also read the dish on the EQ works much better than the solo but the other 2 both work well

The bowl size is perfect the way it is.
I put a Glass DAISY screen and it takes up a little room.
Then again if you have IRON LUNGS GOD BLESS YOU!

The SOLO gets me so MEDICATED with the stock stems!

I guess I'm a light weight?

These things are dirt cheap and with a POWER ADAPTER!
I haven't used the portable feature in 6 weeks!

Hey if it works I want to hear about it.

Good Luck with your endeavor!

Let me try!

@ataxian I agree I think the bowl is fine just as is and I have a domed screen in mine. Even when I'm with friends it is easy to empty and repack. I could see others wanting more though

Can you post your screen set up?

I do something different every other day to amuse myself!

If you can take a photo of your set-up or a link as to where I can buy the same screens you use?

 

[clouded vision]

I just get my screens at the LHS, dome them over the end of a sharpie then trim them to fit in.

So I just hit a vape bong for the first time in my life

It was awesome, thanks PVHEGonG (and JET too, although fuck how FedEx took their sweet time with it)

Does anyone know if the vapexhale hydratubes work with the solo? To me they seem a lot better then using the pinnacle hydrotube. regardless I'm planning to try making my own diy bong/perc for the solo, I've seen some cool ideas on the internet

Yes they will work, you just need an 18mm GonG stem, but the VX HT are probably overkill for the solo. A small bubbler is really all you need to cool the vapor from the solo. Bigger pieces are better for the really heavy hitters like the VXC, Sub, LSV.
Here is my DYI that I made to pair with my solo

That was my exact thought in regards to the bigger bowl post .

Let me try!

I thought he meant , fill up the stem part with herbs in lieu of a bigger bowl .
Insert the stem backwards with the herb chamber facing up , like you have it .
But without the Gong and adapter .

Well , maybe NOT the entire stem with herbs .
Position a screen half way up the stem or even 1/4 up .
I'm interested in the extended flavor , while watching the herbs turn darker as a gauge .

I'm gonna try it .

Bought a Solo last week. Absolutely love it. Bought one of Ed's wooden stems and it doesn't fit in. Don't want to jam it in. Even unscrewed the top of the Solo and tried to fit it directly in the chamber, no good. Matched it up to a glass stem and the wooden one has a definitely larger diameter. Actually called Ed and and asked him about it, he had never heard of this problem. The Solo's serial number begins with M1A. Was wondering if anyone has heard of this happening. Not a big deal, I can live with the glass stem and can return the wooden one.

Weird! Ed's stems definitely take more force to fit in, and are a much tighter fit...I have two and luv em! Try a bit more force to get it in before returning, just for curiosity sake. Shouldn't hurt anything, IMO.

Just tried it ,
No it doesn't work .

I inserted an NO2 screen 1 inch into the stem .
Sucked up the herbs , and inserted into the Solo .
First , the stems were real loose , being thinner at that end .
An O-ring helped a little , but I just couldn't get any vapors .
I think TOO MUCH herbs impeded the air path .
I can see the bottom layer getting brown tho .

A slightly larger/deeper bowl PVHES might work , with the turbo opening ,
basically , the opposite of a ' shorty ' .

@ataxian
It might work with nuggets like the AIWB .

Ok, finally got it. Unscrewed the top and and twisted ed's stem around until I made the hole slightly larger and it fit through. Had to do the same to get in into the chamber. Works fine, but glass tubes are real loose now. Not sure if I might have messed up the o-ring a little. Saw in an earlier thread that they can be purchased online. Should be easy to change I imagine. Anyway, I'll make it work. Thanks for the help Snappo !

SOLO = over & over again this works the best:

Now last time my friends and I had a 3/4 pill bottle of light abv (4 people) which we put in taquitos. Which got us all a decent high. Now I just started saving my abv again and lately have been going up to 7 so its a lot darker and much denser. Picture:

We are planning to put 1 more gram of abv in there but I'm wondering if its enough to eat for tomorrow or if we should hold off, since it isnt a whole lot (5, 6, 7gs?)
Just for a bonus, also planning to scrape my stem tomorrow:

 

[clouded vision]

that stem oil is going to go a lot further than the abv. IME 5-7g of ABV from some very good AK was only one really good dose.

aroma bowl will not fill the room...a foot or two yes but very mild not enough heat to bowl. If you want to do that get a db or an ssv with the aroma top.
