Well, I emailed planet vape about my Solo hardly working and was told to contact arizer directly and keep them updated, so my email is off to arizer. Really not looking forward to having to ship this brand new unit back and wait for my replacement. I can still pull off an OK session with this thing if I use a domed screen to cut half the bowl off, and draw extremely slow on temperature seven, like mflb slow. Then it can get everything a very light yellow on temperature seven over a full session, but this is not the Solo I remembered or want it takes as long to sesh as my mflb and doesn't get it as dark. I have high hopes for arizer re calibrating the same unit super hot if I have to send it back, I'd like that.
Edit: I've been using both solos back and forth, and the one with a ceramic bowl grabs the stems snugger. I'm almost wondering if maybe I don't need a new solo, but just a bigger stem that gets more conduction from the oven. Hard to tell, but my pvhegong doesn't really fit so good in my solo either. I haven't used the bent stem at all because I put a screen in there without doming it, and it got blocked and now I can't get the screen out and don't have the patience to bend a coat hanger or something. I'm going to go to my girlfriends house later and steal her stems, and try some of my old stems in the new solo and see if different glass might help too.
