The Arizer Air

[RUDE BOY]

... I hesitate to order a Air but the dirty look(gunk stems) avoid me to order it, it's not really nice to be stealth!

The stems will not get any worse then your enano or Hammer stems @PPN so if you can deal with them there isn't much difference keeping the Air/solo stems clean.

So yesterday I cleaned my steams for the first time, only had a few days use but I havnt got metal gauze in yet so were a tad dirty.

I used some ISO In a zip lock bag with some salt, give it a shake, leave for a few minutes, shake again, rince really well with clean water, then dry with a hair dryer.

They came out as good as new. Would anyone change anything about that process?

All vaporizers need periodic cleaning. I don't know if one gets more gunky than another. I think the only time you need to worry if a plastic brittle mouthpiece gets stuck and it's hard to get off. I am talking about a vaporizer I used to use, not the Air.

Since basically your mainly cleaning the stem, that's easy.

I did. I shifted from ISO to PBW:

You can also order it from Home Brewery supplier, or from such a store if one is local.

Doesn't smell or burn, is 'green' so you can dump it down the drain with a clear conscience, it's cheaper, easier to get, and does a better job. That one pound jar will probably clean many hundreds of stems.....or the same one hundreds of times.

Just made up a stem sleeve for stealth & function.

Really digging it. What did you use?

Funny, I've been thinking of this as well (not that I have a real need for such) but I was thinking the ideal would be a clear 'doughnut shaped' tank. That is a tall ring that would slip over the stem up to the plastic part, and be partially filled with 'juice' and wicking.......

I'm so happy about finding this fuckcombustion site Its so cool! thank you guys!

All of my friends likes more smoking a joint than vaporize and i never understood this since i found on internet abaout vaporize and bought an iolite(like 4 years ago). But it is the the past. Now i am a vape enthusiast and never again want a use an iolite(dont like plastic and butane). My iolite stopped to work (thanx god hehe) and i bought a desktop vape called usa vaporizer( this one: http://www.vaporisateur-electrique....12060/MediaGallery/vaporisateur_USA_09000.jpg). This vape is definitly not the best but it is ways better than iolite. I bought this because it was cheap, with ceramic hetating etc. it looked great to its price, but i really wanted an EQ because i read a lot about vaporizers and the EQ convinced me and had a price that i could buy after some months hehe. A give my USA vape to my friend when i bought my EQ(2014. january), and i still love the EQ.
But now i want to buy an Air. I used to read a lot about vaporizer news, new units, technics, etc. So i was here in FC time to time by result of my search but now i'm a member too. And love this site!!!
unfortunatey I still need some months to get enough money to buy the AIR but i definitley will buy this cool thing
What i will buy when the time comes: AA, +2spare batteries, and a Nitecore I2 charger, for now nothing else.
So this is my short vape story, thank you all for shareing your knowledge about vapelife, its a great help to some people. Now I can make questions and get answers from vape experts, and enthusiasts.
So fucking crazy that in hungary NOBODIE likes vapeing or at least i dont know about it. in the whole country exist one grow/head shop that also has vaporizers(i bought my iolite and USA vape there) but they have old models(for exapmle: now they sell the first tipe EQ-s, V-tovers for the double of the price then the newest ones on internet). My research went to found the vapefiend(UK) store, where i bought my EQ one year ago. I think i will buy my AA from them too..
So at the end: I really like being a member of FC, great site, great people, NICE COMMUNITY. I'm reading the whole topic about the air, now Im at 44th page, reading all day


Oh i forgot about the DA KUBE (MFLB copy) that i bought 3 months ago to have a portable vape(i still have it but never use it, better to get home and enjoy EQ). It did not worth any penny. But I'm sure the Air worths every penny without having it in my hands. i trust arizer and your opinions too, it will be my best portable vape but i still like to use eq for desktop, like a second vape, now its the only one.

The search turns up nothing with that item # for me. wonder if they are done making that piece

... hey @valence , all you had to do was type that number into the search bar of DHGate. Doing that brings you to this, click here. They still have it. It's an extremely sturdy piece and multi-functional !!
Vape on.

That made me laugh, after a stressful day.
Thanks for that.

As @Vapormatic mentioned earlier, a cover for the glass stems is in order.

This is what I came up with:

And the long stem in my Air:

The short stem in my Air:

There is a bit more visible glass on the short stem, I haven't used it yet so it's still clean.

I covered them with this:

Heat shrink tubing.
Anyone see any concerns off the bat?

I picked up 2 sizes, 1/2" and 3/4". I used 1/2" on the short mouthpiece, and it was a bear to get on there. Too snug of a fit. I got it on there mostly, I wanted it a little closer to the Air though.
I used just over an inch in length of the 3/4" tubing on the long mouthpiece, and carefully shrank it down. It was a bit too big but did shrink down to fit.

The back of the package lists an Operating temperature: -67F to 275F.
I bet the end near the oven is getting hotter than 275F, anyone think there are issues with this?

I also received my package from PV, this was the highlight:

14mm Solo GonG. Works great, already tried it out with my PNWT.

Huh, running into a strange issue with my Air all of a sudden:
Ran a regular session, seemed to end early. Now when I start the Air, it looks like it's heating up normally and then suddenly the blue "heating" light starts blinking erratically. Once that starts, the Air beeps and shuts down in a few seconds.
Seems to happen with both of my batteries, currently giving it a charge to see if that will fix the issue Anyone else encounter something similar?

 

[SlightlyStonedSD]

Got an email from Canada Post saying Arizer shipped my Air back. Arizer didn't email me personally but they added this note to the shipping info:

"A REPLACEMENT MACHINE HAS BEEN ISSUED TO YOU AT NO EXTRA CHARGE,WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS. DELIVERY WITHIN 4 BUSINESS DAYS"

I'm assuming that means my original unit malfunction was beyond repair. I've been really enjoying learning to use my new MFLB but I can't wait to get my AIR back!!

Just saw your post. Unfortunately that sounds like the same thing that happened to my Air. I sent mine in for a warranty claim and as my above post stated, apparently it was not repairable. Sorry, the good news is customer service made it a quick, smooth process.

 

[g1zm0]

It happened!

Arizer.com now has option of 60mm & 70mm long stems with black MP.

Omg the god has heard me!!

 

[CarolKing]

My Air had gotten hot after 3 sessions and turned off. After it cooled for 5 min it turned back on.

 

[lookhigh]

^i asked about this before, my SOLO never overheats.
I would not buy the air for this reason.

 

[olivianewtonjohn]

Solo and air perform similarly, but I guess air has some limitations. If you have a home unit, air is probably more useful. Solo is more like a hybrid of portable and home unit.

 

[StonedPerk]

So what has better vapor quality and cloud solo or air? Which one is better? BTW still trying to figure out if imag plus and phantom has a limit on battery charges 300 then u have to replace the whole thing

Solo and air have much better vapor quality. Since your other post said you wanted discrete, get the arizer air; very close to the imag in discreteness. Scroll up a few posts to see a mod by Vapormatic to make air even more discrete. Choice between imag and air is a no brainer

My Air had gotten hot after 3 sessions and turned off. After it cooled for 5 min it turned back on.

at what tempsetting was that? sundayevening I think I ran an entire battery from full to empty with negligible breaks, to see how long one batterucharge would last, maybe I shut it off for 5 minutes somewhere in between but not more. and when the battery was empty I immediatly replaced it with a full one and turned it on again, yet I had no issues with overheating(and I had the silicone sleeve on it too)
in my case it was mostly on white and a little green.

That looks cool as shit, but I'll bet the tubes are getting really close to that temp and maybe above it on the draw. It's not in the air path, so that's good. I guess the real question is what does it do if it gets too hot? Does it off-gas or get sticky?

I was on the green setting and it was 3 - 10 min back to back sessions. No big deal it turned back on after 5 min. This has happened twice. I haven't heard anyone else with this issue. Maybe it was the battery?

This shouldn't be a deal breaker if you're interested in this unit. I have been very happy with the performance and the stealthiness of the Air.

 

[OMEiAM]

Does anyone know of a good, cheaper alternative to the Air Dual Battery Charger on arizer.com? $45 dollars seems expensive for a charger. Maybe if it came with two batteries it would be worth it, but it doesn't.
