Arizer Solo

Hi all, I got my solo yesterday but I couldn't try it yet as I'm completely dry atm. Tomorrow I'm going to a friends house and he has some hash and I wanted to try it on my new solo. I don't have any ABV to sandwich the hash in. What do you suggest I should do? Can I sandwich it between 2 pieces of cotton?

Hi everyone. Long time user of the Extreme Q (my favorite smoking piece of all time :rockon:) and looking to make the transition into the portable world. I heard the Solo is the way to go.

I'm liking all the different GonG setups that people are able to achieve with the Solo, but I want to keep it more.. portable, because I already have the Extreme Q. In that case, I have a few questions regarding accessories and whatnot. I want to conceal the vape in a soda cup (or something better, if you experienced users have come up with any ideas) when I go out in public, so it's important that I am still able to do that with whatever accessories I might get.

I'm planning on getting the Solo and a PVHES; is that all I really need for quality portable vaping? Are there any other major quality of life accessories that I should get? What PVHES would you recommend? On Planetvape there is basically no difference in price between the PVHES, so I'm wondering what benefits the Turbo and Shorty versions have compared to the regular one.

Also, do I really need the specific Solo screens that PV sells, or can I just use a regular honeycomb and be fine?

Sorry for probably the 100th time this stuff has been asked, but I appreciate any insight!

Sup sirrrk. Doesn't matter which GonG you get, but I prefer the shorty as its short length provides more durability when the solo is upside down in a bong. (more length, more leverage to break)

For the soda, there is a stealth stem which you can attach a regular straw into. (planet vape) You might want to use the foam your Solo came with to make a foundation inside the cup, preventing sliding around.

Get yourself a shorty GonG PVHES. They're great and come with an o-ring so your stem wont fall out and break accidentally.

Also, don't worry so much about the choices. Whatever choice YOU make is the best choice after all.

Are you sure bho has to be decarbed? I thought solvents and heat both deca rbed mj... My original bho set up csme from Rivk Simpsons Run from the Cure... specifically to eat!


Where did you get this? What's it called? Is that the stock mouthpiece? I want one! :)

I've never done decarbing or winterizing , maybe somebody else
can chime in .

here's the link for the mouthpieces ,
I highly recommend getting some to help relieve any inhale
restrictions .
e-Cigarette tester "condoms" - package of 5

does the solo need fine grounding or can whole nugs get vaped?

Yes it can , slightly more tasty too .
All the trichs and terps are in tact .
You'll have to flip the nug tho for even roasting .
Would a bubbler give you the same experience as the water tube? Thats my main question here.

Yes it would ,
It can be better , depending on the size/type of the bubbler .
If you haven't tried water vaping , do it , you'll like it .
I started with a small DIY with the help of O-rings , then got
bigger . And now I'm looking at getting the Cloud .

Also re ; Flavor/taste
I find Sativas offer the most varieties of differing taste .
Indicas Kush usually tastes the same Kushy flavor , which I love .
Add a dab of oil into the mix ...

The tip on one of my stems is a OMICRON Silicone Tip that comes with the Cartridges for my wax pens.
Since I make my own concentrates I have devices for them. So I find cross over gizmos.
I'm a medical marijuana patient so I like a smaller mouth piece. Go into a SMOKE SHOP in CALIFORNIA and most of the WATER PIPES have large mouth pieces like a BONG? I have to find ways to reduce the mouth piece for my liking. I may have to learn how to blow glass to get the mouth piece size I want. Most glass blowers make water pipes for the recreational user which is cool however what about the medical patient?

Here are some of my hacker mouth piece reductions:










I disagree with JOINT smokers.

FAST FOOD verses HOLISTIC!

My vacuum set-up cost $200 to make!
Home Cheapo and the Internet for parts.

Wow you have a lot of set ups! I wish I could buy glass and gave it survive. You have the same issue I have. ... you want a more restricred air flow thst you can't get on any bong or most vaporizers. Out of the ones I've tried, only the MFLB and hand carved version of the Vapor Genie are close. I just put my on my volcano mouthpiece or bong like on trumpet mouthpiece and use my lips to restrict the air flow. I fry my lips s lot. Lol These pen mouthpieces will be perfect, plus I can chomp on them! :))))

I have no DIY skills when it comes to anYthing that needs plugged in. Now my contractor could make me some vacuum device if I make him shatter for his new wax pen. lol! Did you have a diagram you followed?

I'm still missing astep in the shatter process... I had the guys from the dispensary vacuum purge my last batch of BHO. It looks no different than before they did it. All the vacuum did was make it bubble up an run out of the dish.
So run the butanen hot water bath purgen then vacuum purge. What did I miss here?

TY! These ought to be easy to find at one of the hundred smoke shops in my town. :)

Geez, I forgot Canada post is so slow. I still don't have my hash bags I ordered last week, let my Solo. :( Off all the bad luck, my doc didn't get my marinol prescription renewed I'm time. Now I have a dinner with the new neighbors after wine and appetizers at their place tomorrow. I can't drink already, but without marinol or mj can't eat either! I don't wish them two know all about my illness or see me red eyed. Now my only is to make trips out to the car to use my vapor Genie and be red eyed or not eat. Which looks more odd? :( I wish the solo were here. It's easier to make bathroom trips than trips to the car...

You all have me so curious about vapors and water, I've managed to rig both my VG and volcano bag into my bong. The taste is so much better and no coughing! Gotta rig the solo too...

I've discovered the opening in my tiny bong is smaller than the 14mm one I broke. Would anyone know this size? Could I more easily run a silicone tube from solo to this? This would be temporary until I save up for a steel bong. Lol

Ty!

Mine is about two years old. It charges fine but now only reaches a little above 200 deg F.
Doesn't make sense its the battery. Took out the battery and shopped around, but even as I was doing that I can't justify that it would be the battery. Perhaps it's pooched. Bad coil under the ceramic bowl?
Bad capacitor?

I don't always grind however when I do I use a SPACE CASE.
Some of my COLAS need a grinder to handle their size.

NORTHERN LIGHTS

What size space case is that? black medium, silver small?Looking to buy one, but want to figure out the size i want.Thanks!

Put a dab of full nug run Jupiter OG shatter/nectar in with a HE GonG of Juicy Fruit flower. Here goes!

Edit: My god... It's full of stars!

I suggest water conditioning and starting @ 3 then moving up to 5-6 to get the full experience. Worked well for me anyway, and kept the flavor to the end! :)

Howdy and welcome to the fun. Sorry to meet you under a cloud, but we meet lots of friends who come with problems.....

I agree, it does not sound like a battery. When you say it charges normally, how long is it taking to go from say step 1 to cutoff?

The 200F number is interesting, as there's no LED step for that. What makes you say it's 200F? How does the heater LED behave. That is if you turn it on and set it to step 7 how long does it take to stop flashing? Then does it cycle on and off? About how often? TIA

This is a closed loop system, it'll heat until the sensor says it's hot enough. Hopefully while watching the cycle it'll show us where it falls down. If the battery was the casue, it'd go undervoltage and the Solo would shut down to protect the battery, which is not happening, right? Weak batteries give short service between charges, not have trouble making temperature usually.

Anyway, please let me know what you see, maybe we can sort this out on this here internet.

Sounds like a good start! I don't weigh, I just load what looks good and go. I filled 1/4 of the stem then put the shatter then packed the rest of the bowl on top. This was in my PVHE GonG.

And ya, family's been kama'aina long time. Way before the 808 was a state. Lived in Honolulu and Manoa among other places myself.

As @shadyonedeath mentioned you can buy a stealth stem for that very purpose. If you look back through the thread some photos have been posted of various cup set-ups which look great!

If you come up with a better way to camouflage the Solo, I'm sure there'd be plenty of FC'ers who'd love to see a pic. :) :peace:
