Ataxian you owe me a PM with data....
I agree the solo rocks hard no matter what anyone says.
I just got an ascent to try and cut my session short. I know you all never heard me say that. I don't know why people are having an issue with it cause it works fine at least it did on my first short session. Stay tune to that thread for my thoughts as I go along.
Thank vodka my next round of testing for the PA's are without being used so I have time to use the ascent although I would do both if I was forced lmfao:science::science::science::science::science:. I know I will still be using the solo today cause that is just what I do and I still got a long way till I go to sleep.

I'm still waiting for TIM's PA?

Using the "OF" JAMESCO PA.
Super Cheap and always works.
I haven't used the SOLO without the PA for almost 3 months.
The SOLO is my daily driver.
For me I concentrate on the Cannabis Flower.
Vaporizers are man made heating devices.
I keep investigating the next strain of CANNABIS.
It's cool to collect vaporizers I guess however CANNABIS is more interesting.
Different Strokes for Different Folks I guess?

Now cut that out! This is not that kind of Forum........

We've had this talk before, don't make it happen again. Although in all fairness it is the nastiest thing you've said in a while.

Think 'don't ask, don't tell' and 'need to know'?

It should result in longer on times by roughly 7.5/8.5 (one is 7.5 Volts, the other 8.5). I ran some tests of this a while back:
http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/arizer-solo.3833/page-615#post-401871

At 7.5 Volts in, step 2, 4 and 7:
5.2s/13.5s *** 28%
6.2s/11.2s *** 36%
8.0s/09.6s *** 45%

Going to 8.5 Volts gives:
4.6s/16.1s *** 22%
5.3s/13.8s *** 28%
6.8s/11.7s *** 37%

Hello all, first post on fc. I like to mod everything I get whether it be my phone, car, bike, or smoke products. Have a lot of ideas/mods but this is my favorite.

For this mod to be the most effective you have to grind your bud up VERY fine. I load my grinder and hold it upside down and grind, shake, grind, repeat until it looks like about 25% keif with the rest still very fine.


If you own a solo there's a pretty good chance you already put a screen in your stem(s) to keep the pull through/scoobs out of your mouth. I messed with different screen setups and came up with a mod that allows you to use less bud, vape longer, and get just as high (I think higher).


I run a dual screen setup which essentially acts as a dual chamber bowl. Heres what you do: run a fine screen (smaller holes) in the bottom of the stem. Fill the stem to only about 15-20% full with the finest ground (mostly keif) bud.


While browsing lowes I came across some garden hose filters which can be found in the plumbing section in a pack of 3 for like $2.79. Whats great about these is that they are designed to be inside a garden hose so they're stainless steel. They have to be cut and shaped a little but what makes these so different is that they are dome shaped. Place the second screen in the stem/bowl over the finely ground bud. Make sure that there is plenty of empty space between the bud on the bottom and the "inside" of the dome shaped screen. Here is a pic of the stem loaded with the finely ground weed and the dome shaped screen on top of it:

As you can see the dome screen takes up a lot of space inside the bowl so you can use far less weed. Afterward fill the bowl the rest of the way so it looks like this.

This creates a dual chamber bowl, and you have a LOT more air passing through your herb which is what vaporizers are all about. I've used the dual screen setup a few times now and every time its simply amazing. I weigh out a daily allowance of 0.3g of bud each day and I can pack the bent stem bowl about 4-5 times. One stem makes me feel amazing, 2 stems and I'm SAILING!!



What else is great about this...after learning how to use the solo I could usually vape the full 12 minutes (auto shutoff is 12 min) before it was kicked, or at least kicked to my liking. With this mod your bud truly lasts longer. Last night I was 17 minutes in to bong vaping session and still blowing clouds bigger than I see with my mflb on a fresh battery.

Let me know if you try it...

So I ordered one of those PVHES stems with the O-ring. Is the O-ring supposed to hold the stem tighter somehow or just sit on top of the Solo around the stem?

I searched but couldn't find an answer.

I still say that is the hard way lol. If you are using a reg stem easiest way to center the ring, open the cap, put stem in with oring already attached, put cap over stem and screw on. Pull our your stem and you can use your gong or whatever. If you only have a gong, open cap, stick gong through cap, put on oring, place in solo, screw cap back on. Just this one persons opinion as I want it right the first time and in the PV instructions it can be off.

I think both Stu and Dreamer have actually done this a few times and have solid advice, I'm not so sure about PV.....looks to me like that Solo never saw a stem.....

In general you want to screw the cap back on when the stem is in the heater and the ring is on the stem pushed down onto the top of the heater. The stem keeps it centered as the cap is screwed on, after that is pretty much stays put if the fit is right. The ring grips the stem mechanically and unlike the glass fiber filled seal and doesn't tend to 'take a set' (get bigger over time) like the seal eventually does.

You can use it without the extra ring, many guys prefer it that way in fact.

The ring goes inside, not on the outside. Perhaps that wasn't clear at the start?

hey all, quick cleaning/maintenance question:

is there a recommended way to soften and then remove the dark oils that build up near the base of the arizer solo's stem? i'm contemplating leaving the stem overnight in a bag of iso alcohol, would that be a solid way to go?

I've heard of people heating a pan of milk and simmering their stems in it. A nice way to make some 'space cocoa'. Haven't tried it myself yet, but I plan to.

A simple soak in iso doesn't always get rid of this IMO. I usually need to scrape it off with a wooden skewer or something similar. Adding some salt to the iso and giving it a good shake may be more effective but I'm yet to try it.

@VapeNStone Yeah that's true. Not a problem for me though as I'd rather not use reclaim any way

I guess if you want to reclaim then just iso wash as normal to get the "good" stuff then use the salt with some fresh iso to get rid of the more stubborn bits that build up where the glass rests on the heater.

Speaking of that, I don't save reclaim. I use alchol and salt to clean that shit out so I can throw it away. I thought vaping was keeping my bong cleaner, but I was getting a funny taste. Took two cleaning s to get this wierd oily sheen off my glass at the bottom where I only fill it half way up but it looks and taste good now. Wow look at the difference from a little while ago, all pictures from this mornings wake and vake hash bake...........

Thanks everyone, I somehow managed to get it in there, but the instructions confused me (I didn't see the part about taking the whole top off!) Hey it's in there so I guess something worked. So far loving this new stem, I got the bent one because that's what I like. Whoever said you could pop this thing in a cup and no one would know..that's so smart!
