Do you stir 1/2 through your session?Okay thanks my avb looks like this after i can no longer get anymore vapor. I was just afraid because I accidently dropped my unit yesterday.

Alvinhw, have you just started vaping? If you have it will take your system a couple of weeks to get used to the change. Change will happen and you will be healthier for it.
You said you tried a higher temp. I vape at 4 and 5, I bump it up to 6 dry sometimes. I use the higher temps for a water tool. When I have my second session with my Solo, I usually get two 10 min sessions with one bowl, most of the time. It all depends to on the type I am vaping. I will stir or take the herb out of the bowl and put it back in.
Some can only get a 5 min session with one bowl. A lot depends on the person and the herb. I have a friend who is a real lung buster.
You may want to check out some of the WTs on the cheap bubbler thread.
I just bought a D020, it's the bomb!
Good luck.

If you're new to vaping, go back and check CK's post. Hold off any such judgements for now.
When you balze your mind associates getting stoned with all the nasty junk in smoke. The two get linked. You need to teach your mind you don't have to stick your face in the campfire to get off. This means 'lay off all blazing' for a week or two, vape away, but stop the association of the rush you get from the nasty stuff with the benefit of THC. You can get a buzz off sniffing a city bus exhaust too.
After a couple weeks (or whenever you're truly weaned off smoke) try a joint. You'll find it's just as repulsive as it was the first time, but now your mind knows it's not a necessary step to getting high on THC. I think it's the very rare guy who doesn't experience this.
So, give it a fair chance. No cheating. Vape only for a while and see why we're all so sold on the idea?

Are you inhaling too fast ?
You can't smoke it like a joint .
On level 7 , the ABV should be darker .
I feel you may be inhaling too quickly , and Not allowing the herbs to fully cook . Just a guess , try letting the stem go thru 2 sessions at 7 .
Draw slower , allow the herbs to cook between hits .
It should get darker than the pic you posted . jme

I've said it before, for some reason some of the "Platinum" strains (Platinum Bubba, GSC, etc) don't like to turn very dark brown, even on 7 with a dome screen.
Got some exceptional Blue Dream going right now. Fantastic at 2... and doesn't turn as dark brown as the other stuff I had before. Maybe I can get it a little darker but I don't feel like there's much left to warrant it... something to experiment with tonight.

Agreed , about certain strains .
@Alvinhwang63 mentioned he dropped it , I thought he may be having doubts , if the Solo is functioning properly . Yes , try some different strains
too . But he should be able to get darker ABV on level 7, in general .
Not to derail ,
but I notice a lot of the same old faces on the other vape threads I'm on .
So maybe we have common needs/wants . There's a GOOD deal on the
Cloud Evo at Massdrop .
And now we return you back to our regular scheduled vaping session ....
Already in Progress .

I get good vapor at level 3. I agree with previous posters that vaporizing takes a bit of trial and error until you find the way that works best for you. I think the experience can be different for others. The commonality is that when we all find that "sweet spot" that lets the effects bloom, we usually agree that vaporizing is way better than burning up the pot.
Arizer is a solid company and I have all 3 of their vaporizers, the Solo, Extreme Q and V Tower. Each one has been used daily over the years and they all work great.

@Alvinhwang63 try drying out your herb. Sometimes I buy and its a bit too moist, good for smoking probably but I leave it out and get better vapor.
@poonman yeah that is a great deal. Cant say im not somewhat tempted but have other priorities right now. Luckily I have a cloud+ so dont think im really "missing" out on much.

I will typically inhale very slowly for about 30 seconds. Make sure there is at least a minute between draws.
I see some difference between strains as far as vapor production and how long the vapor lasts, my abv is usually a milk chocolate color. The herb that touches the oven surface usually gets darker brown to almost black depending on how hot I run it.
This might be a stupid question, but are you inserting your stem all the way? The first day I used my solo I was holding the stem up to the oven, because it didn't seem like it would fit and I had read about the stems being loose and having to hold them in place. I figured I had to be doing something wrong so once I had internet access I figured out what I was doing wrong. It still vaped though, hehe, but the color was like in your picture. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
good luck Alvin, and have fun!

I keep my Solo vape temp levels on 3-4..
I never go to 7.. I tried it and didn't like it. If I'm going to go to 7, I'll just smoke a bowl. To me the whole point of vaping is being healthy. Personally, I feel when I go to level 7 it gets a little harsh on my lungs. That defeats the whole purpose of the Solo but to each their own.

Have you tried starting at 3-4 and slowly going up until you get to 7? Does this still cause you lung irritation? Just curious, it does bother my lungs at 7 but not if I slowly go up in temp (lowering vapor to air ratio)

Yeah that's how I did it when I was experimenting with 7.
The temp level 7 would give me more of a body high like smoking a bowl or bong but it also made me cough something that never happened to me when I keep it on 3-4...
Now I usually just keep it on 3 and rarely go to 4.. I find it's the perfect mix of taste and medicated state.. But everyone is different what works for me might not work for you and vice versa.

Did your experiments include a WT or bubbler? I too find step 7 'barefoot' too intense for enjoyment. But with some water in the game I can go for the heavy stuff when the mood/need strikes.
Otherwise, I typically run on four without giving it much thought. Two leisurely sessions and I'm ready for a fresh load usually. "Spiking" it with some bubble or other concentrate alters that of course.

Thanks for the prompt answer. Yes, I got that from before. It concerned me which is why I asked. If your solution is to just go back to blazing for a bit IMO that's a bad situation. Avoiding the byproducts of combustion is what we're about here you know. It takes most guys a week or two of no combustion at all to 'clean up' and get in the groove. Backsliding just resets that 'timer', and in the end can make the hill higher to climb.
Your call, of course, but if you're really resorting to a bowl from time to time I'd like to encourage you to try a modest WT instead? You get to save a pile of bucks on bud bills and we get to enjoy your company longer......

Hey Hey
So after a disappointing experience trying to get a flowermate, I've decided to bite the bullet, pay more dollars and get a Solo, as seemingly everyone here loves 'em.
One question though and feel free to point me back to an older post;
I have an SSV, love the hits that I get from it and am not expecting miracles, but how does the vapour compare between these units?

If you're fine with a big old bong rip, then 7 through a WT/bubbler should be nothing. I'd say give it a go first, imo that'll give you the effect you're looking for.
Remember the effect from the vape tends to have a bit more of a creeping up on you effect, so give it a couple of mins (although straight to 7 through water hits me fast).
Run a couple of small stem loads in a row, see how you feel then...

Pretty good for a portable convection/conduction hybrid vaporizer! 7-9 sessions!

Thanks Q, some vids like that are quite convincing
though myself I'll probably use it more dry.
