It is subjective and fair. I have owned both for many months and use them daily and the INH beats the solo hands down. no contest. I'm curious at to what you think the solo does better than the INH? maybe I'm forgetting something obvious.
and again I am stating the INH not the XP is much better than the Solo. The XP is better than the original INH is very very far ahead of solo.
Lets compare the check list:
1. warm up time - INH
2. Battery Life - INH
3. pass through while charging - INH
4. uses stanadard USB Charger - INH
5. takes more than 4 hours to charge (negative) - BOTH units
6. portability - INH
7. ease of cleaning - Tie
8. Flavor - Solo
9. capacity Large - INH
10. capacity to vape a small load - TIE (both work well).
11. long term cost - (both require buying stuff, stems or capsules).
12. use with concentrates - TIE
13. air flow - INH
14. extaction - INH
15. harsheness - Solo (The hot convected air from the INH is not as smooth as the solo).
16. Clouds - INH
17. Price - Solo is cheaper
I'm sure I missed some categoires here but of course its all subjective and its just my opinion but IMO the INH is a whole new generation of vaporizer. The Solo is still a great vape but technology moves forward and the INH pretty much out performs it in almost every category.
Well right off the bat you contradicted yourself, because you said in EVERY category except one. Regardless, I honestly don't really care...I don't have loyalty to either product, and I forgot for a second that this was the Inhalater thread...so i'm being more devil's advocate than anything, but when you said the Inhalater blows the Solo out of the water, I just thought it was a little harsh and i'll address some of those points.
Build quality - Solo
Pass through while charging - Tie? The Solo with PA is cheaper than the Inhalater
Charging - Solo (Inhalater takes MUCH longer)
Cleaning - Solo (Those caps can be a bitch, and the static and shit clinging sucks)
Long term cost - Solo (Glass is forever if you're careful, those polymide caps break, etc just using the unit normally)
Clouds - Solo? Talk to Centizen about that one....the Solo has the heater mass, INH doesnt.
Sure the Inhalater has many advantages, but to me the bottom line is the build construction and GLASS. The Inhalater polyimide bowl ripped apart in mine and the capsules broke. Furthermore, you can't even compare the two vapes when one is SS/glass and the other is ALL Plastic!
Anyways, enjoy your XP's.....i'm outta here. PEACE!
OOPS edit - BURNT lips with the capsules unless you attach more plastic to it. Solo FTW nice cool glass on lips. Cheers!
