Well he might will because I like the silver color better
The silver looks cool. I went with black to draw less attention, in theory.

I think black is more stylish and discrete

there really aren't many problems, most off the recent problems can be attributed to a faulty batch of chargers, not the unit itself. That doesn't mean the occasional faulty unit won't make it through quality control but from what I have read here arizer has excellent customer service. Another thing to remember is all li-ion batteries eventually wear out but if/ when it happens the battery is pretty easily replaced.

depends on your habits, how often do you charge it how far are you draining it, how full are you charging it, OF posted a chart within the past couple weeks about the life of li-ion batteries. IIRC though the battery does have a one year warranty and should last much longer than that. Think about cell phone batteries which are also li-ion, if you keep your phone long enough before upgrading, you will eventually needed to replace the battery before the phone itself stops working. Also it has been pointed out that if the battery does die the unit will continue to work with a PA.
edit: if the only thing keeping you from getting a solo is concerns about the battery, just get it, you won't be disappointed, besides the solo has one of the best batteries of all the battery powered portables.

I would guess the little bit the PA " uses" is actually just what the battery would discharge naturally. According to OF, if you discharge the battery completely each time you use it and recharge it back to 95% each time you will get the best life cycle out of it. Alternatively if you don't discharge it completely you will also increase the number of charges the battery is good for. Doing both though isn't effective, you may get more charges out of it but theactual time using the battery won't improve

edit: m0sh you could easily figure out if the PA actually uses any of the battery by opening it up disconnecting the battery to see if the unit will run with just the PA connected and no battery in it. My guess would be that it will work fine but I'm no electrician

Well, a few people died but as a survivor i can say that i'm quite happy of the product
I think the answer of Clouded Vision is much more valuable.

Thanks for the replies. How is the Solo for high-temp vaporization? To this day I still like the effects of combustion as some of the cannabinoids which produce the effects I want only vaporize at higher temperatures.
For reference the other portables I've shortlisted are the Hammer and the glass Vaporgenie as both are capable of full, rapid extraction to the point of combustion.

Clouded, I am coming to your house when my battery dies. Changing the battery is easy for some but not for me and others hence the centizen battery replacement thread. I can't even get those screws out on the bottom cause they are tight and I am afraid to strip them.

The highest temperature on the solo is listed at 410f which is more than enough for most people. If you get too much higher than that you start to run the risk of combustion.
edit:
Oh I wouldn't even try what Centizen is doing I would just buy a ready made battery pack for it. Then you can just unscrew it & swap out the battery. I wouldn't have the first clue about making my own battery pack.
Hey people! Been an Arizer Solo owner for almost a year and this unit is amazing. Unfortunately, my Arizer solo just stopped working. When I turned on the unit, I noticed the charge led light was emitting RED instead of the usual GREEN. So i immediately said to myself this is bad. Turns out the unit won't heat anymore and when I charge it, I get a continuous beep with the charge led still emitting RED... Has anyone encountered this? Much appreciated.. I am very sad.. I just wanna vape my Solo =((

Try to reset it. Plug it in, wait for the beep to start then hold both buttons for about 4 seconds until it stops beeping, wait 10 seconds then unplug it.

I understand what drives it and all, but as you say it's sure to piss some guys off and about half the links there aren't even appropriate?
IMO a simple 'yes there is' or just staying silent is going to be more productive than poking fun at an honest question. I just don't see that as being really useful I guess (at least not as useful as other approaches). I want guys to feel comfortable at asking questions, don't you?

Hi OF:
I'M in the process of cleaning all my Portables.
The residue on the bottom of my SOLO bowl seems the have a carbon stain or film.
In my pics in post #14813 you can see my drill with some jewelers grinders and polishers.
It does taste better however.
Question for you is:
ISO did not work?
Denatured Alcohol gave a off flavor.
The only thing I would think of was to get psychical.
Is there an easier way?

Beats me what it could be, did you put oil or hash in it?
I'm not so sure I'd have gone after it mechanically, it looks to me like there's some sort of coating on it? Is the spot you scrubbed the same color as the rest?

Ataxian, when mine got stained once I had a hell of a time cleaning it. What I do now is I look at it every time I change the stem. If I see flakes I use a straw and suck it out. If it is spotted I clean it cause I don't want to go through what I had to do last time. If you recall I used brillo cause nothing else worked.
Clouded are you trying to tell me that you can just plug a new pack in? I thought it was soldered? If it isn't that is great news. I couldn't tell if those ends in the link posted a few pages back for the umtinth time was just a piece of metal to be soldered.
Edit: Since OF mentioned hash, mine got messed up when I put pure kief so maybe that helps. No more like that now I sandwich if I do that.

I had to scrub with the grinder wheel and it is like brand new clean.
Now that you mentioned it I will only put flowers in the stems.
I will need to stop mixing KIEF or WAX with my FLOWERS.
Most likely I created the perfect storm!
Thanks for pointing that out!
Dreamer yes it must be from the concentrates?
