The SOLO is a practical device.The setup will last a lot longer if you use a GonG fitting instead of trying to use the stock Solo stem. I recommend the D020. @ataxian has a bunch of water tools for the Solo. He'd be the guy to ask.
Wow those flowers look like they went through a snowstorm....FROSTY.
Don't you have some Dr. Claisen-stein Solo photos you can post, with all the ashcatchers? Some of your contraptions stack so high they look like they could use scaffolding.
