Arizer Solo

so if the solo crucible is coated ceramic aluminium,its not gonna be too healthy vaping off aluminium if you ve removed youre coating.Is vaping from an aluminium bowl safe i wonder?
great post by the way!

the solo is a heavy hitter no doubt about that .abuse it and it will smash you.

I don't think the aluminum is going to matter. there appears to be no conclusive evidence that Al has any obvious bad effects on health. also Al has a boiling point of 2500C or 4500F so its doubtful even any would get into the vapor and then into your body. but I'm no expert.

Did just that and not even a speck. I didn't think it was confirmed that those holes actually go somewhere?

I use a 2 piece space case so the grind is pretty fine too.

Interesting, where could this ABV come from? I figured if there was nothing in the bowl, there is nothing in the unit?

From inside the unit through the 4 heat bowl holes.I use a 4 piece alu grinder to prep my stuff.gives me a nice fine grind.

if you remove the stem then you need to kiss the solo bowl and draw quickly(suck) from the main chamber .whatever is in there will come out into youre mouth and its old abv yes.And i found enough to concern me. No biggies just have to keep an eye but its a useful technique if you wanna clear the airpath in the unit.small bits are bound to drop down the 4 holes inside the bowl.I really should use nugs but I prefer ground product sitting on the dome screen.nice clean rips

Just thinking, be great to see exactly how the solo works the air path?,where the electrics are? the heater unit itself and the thermostat.

its such a well constructed unit mechanically.
and so far battery seem to be holding up to the task

 

[Papa Woody]

Hi everybody, I'm Papa Woody and I've been lurking on this topic for a few months now and have really enjoyed the information you guys have worked out using the Solo. Very informative, you all rock!
My question is concerning the ABV particles working their way into the inner housing of the Solo.
Can it be used upside down so the payload stays in the glass bowl? Would a fine mesh screen placed in the cup keep the particles out of the cup holes?
I don't have a Solo yet but I plan to order one in the next few weeks before ski season starts. Looks like a great chairlift vape!
I'll let you know how it works out for me.

Later

Hi papa woody,
Welcome to non-lurking

Yes, the solo can be used upside down with no issues, I do it all the time.
I have read you can put a screen in over your herb after packing the stem, but I personally don't bother with that.

 

[Stu]

Yeah, I think the tiny holes on the bottom of the bowl aren't much bigger than particles that would fall through a screen anyway. I really don't see the point of the lower screen to be honest.

 

[dorkus_molorkus]

In my experience theres no need to be too concerned with the ABV particles, just add it to your maintenance schedhule & give it a quick clean by taking the cap off & shake a bit every so often.

or take the cap off & wrap your laughing gear around the top & suck like a $20 hooker. You will get a mouthful of ABV, but it could be worse.

you could actually be a $20 hooker & then there are a lot worse mouthfulls to be on the lookout for than ABV.

 

[Vaped Ape]

There is alum all over the inside of the Solo so removing the paint from the cap should not increase the exposure to alum a measurable amount I wouldn't think. There are allot of exposures out there. Unless you are using an herb that you grew consider that anything else potentially will have herbicides,pesticides,insect dung, mold, mites and the list goes on. But I have decided that I am ok with that cuz I rarely ever never turn anything down.

wat the fuck!?

i love my solo and it's just shit itself. red and green lights flash alternatively and no heat. fuck me dead said foreskin ned.... the bastard from the bush, where the hell is my extreme q tower.

that reminds me!:

May the pangs of windy spasms through your bowels dart,
May you shit your bloody trousers every time you try to fart....

May the itching piles torment you, may corns grow on your feet,
May crabs as big as spiders attack your balls a treat,
Then when you're down and outed, to a hopeless bloody wreck,
May you slip back through your arsehole, and break your fucking neck


beautiful.

you couldn't insult someone better!

(my aussie ex was a folk singer, this was the end of an old poem/song about foreskin fred the bastard from the bush)

Bad luck with the solo mongrel.

bloke i've decided i love you... a man that can't say no appeals.

bad

 

[WatTyler]

so I guess you don't actually know the song then! It's an old Aussie folk ballad, I think it's just called Foreskin Fred, and it's about the 'push' gang that used to be in the Rocks in Sydney. "Fuck me dead, I'm Foreskin Fred, the bastard from the bush" is a line from it. Though it's those insults in the last verses that have stuck in my mind for some reason.

Anyway, I'll get back on topic...

(edit: after this- it's called the bastard from the bush by either banjo patterson or henry lawson)

 

[mongrel]

course i have wat, do you think i dragged the bastard from the bush spontaneously outta my arse? fred or ned it's all the same (i favour ned because of our murderous bushranger heritage) i'm sorta insulted that you're trying to teach me my heritage... are you american? big edit of course you are. gee i wonder why americans are so unpopular... world wide. pompous t wat.

[mongrel]

then again t wat, why don't you tell me all about ned kelly! i live 30 miles from where kelly was captured but i'm sure you can tell me what happened. (seige of glenrowan) 1880.

 

[OhTheAgony]

I seriously doubt Wat meant it in a condescending way Mongrel, he was probably just trying to lighten the mood you must have been in when that Solo died with a little humor. Unfortunately humor isn't always universal, and ones intentions are often hard to read on the internet where we have to make due with silly emoticons as a poor substitute for facial expressions, voice intonation and such, so I can see the misunderstanding. Still no need for name calling though.

I'd still love to read the story about the siege of Glenrowan from either one of you anyway, I must admit I know practically nothing about Australian history. But, I doubt this is the proper thread for that

 

[WatTyler]

Geez, not very friendly are you. You've got the attitude of an arsehole, and you've been insulting before around here. Perhaps you pulled that out of your arse? It certainly stinks that way.

You make a reference to an obscure song, and then act like I'm speaking french when I comment on it. Stands to reason that I might assume that you didn't actually know the song. Hardly trying to teach you your heritage- just one song. But I'm kind of glad now that I've insulted you by doing so. Would happily do so again! And I'll add that I was stuggling to make a living as a folk musician during part of my time in Australia - folk songs aren't so popular nowadays whatever country you're in and people aren't always too familiar with their traditional ballad heritage, Australians included (there was actually more money to be made in Irish and Scottish music, funnily enough, in the cities at least, which was better for me). It wasn't until I looked the song up that I realised it is maybe accredited to one of the famous writers mentioned above. But like I said, I'm almost glad now given your response that you found it insulting so I won't apologise.

Wtf has Ned Kelly got to do with things? If you're trying to show that you're not a vacuous mongrel, it hasn't worked.

And I'm not american. You're ignorant as fuck. If you opened those mongrel eyes you'd see that. Says where I'm from under my avatar. But well done- you've just alienated half the readership on here whilst failing to insult me. Clever move. I hope you get banned.

I'm done with you.

 

[wake n blake]

For a vapehead, mongrel seems edgy.

Then again, with a name like mongrel...

Oh, and I'm an American, and I already know everyone hates me, ha... but at least now I know that people hate Americans because of our internet posts and not because of our freedom, greedy officials, or outlandish ways of living.

 

[Samsquanch]

Holy crap boys , settle down or the shithawks will get ya

If you wanna hate then hate me because Im Canadian , and we grow the best weed in the world up here in the great white north

Just got the Solo from Puffitup for 189$. I love it, perfect for work! I got a snug stem and a loose stem, so I'm happy. I cut DBV screens down to the same size as the stems diameter and it stays in perfectly. I don't see how one would hit ground up bud in this device without an added screen though, it sucks right through those two little holes. I have a question though, when its charging I noticed the numbers start lighting up until it gets to 7, does that indicate the charge level? If so how do I bring that up when its not plugged in. Also Randy told me I'm getting the SS version, how do I confirm that, because everything seems to be coated in ceramic?

 

[VapeNStone]

It sounds like the whole loose vs. tight stem thing is still luck of the draw. I am however pleased with the air flow on my loose 3 hole replacement stems.

my 4 hole stems are kinda loose on my unit I get banging hits with it!! I can actually see the vapor flowing throughout the tube now, versus it just just loading in their and you have no idea how much its flowing. Also my material is more of a browned look, then the darkness I was getting before.

When I press the two buttons to turn on my Solo it flashes how much charge it has while its beeping. Then I just hold the arrow on the right to get it to my last temp setting.

There are some pictures of the SS bowl a few pages back. If you compare those to yours you'll probably know right away if you have one or not.

If you look in where you insert the stems it should look like metal anyway, not black.

When you first turn on the Solo the lights give away how full the battery is, after that it tells how hot the heater still is.

 

[Nosferatu]

OK thanks guys. This is going to sound weird but I feel like my Solo gives off some frequency every now and then. It sounds like that mosquito sound you can play on a phone or computer. Its kind of iritating, but then again I cant tell if its real..

Also the temp indicator lights tend to blink sometimes and move up and down temp every now and then, is this normal? Also the bowl is black but there is a silver ring before it.

 

[aesthyrian]

Funny you say that about the noise. My girlfriend was saying the same exact thing when we used it for a lengthy road trip. I however did not hear it. I thought she was crazy...

Maybe time for a break and a little lie down mate!
