Just the stock one with the flash black tip mate. I never thought I would use it with the Air I really didn't. I only tried the full glass stem & purchased a Pvhes 18mm GonG & accidentally purchased a black shorty rather than a 2nd glass Air stem. A lucky mistake as it happens :).

The glass stem is ok but a little "thick" to draw through so I decided to try the little one. I have found the black tippers to be absolutely perfect for toking on like a spliff & encourage any first timer to hit it like that. Those new HE ones look alright though.

Does anyone think it would be worth while to get a bent Solo stem for my Air?

I'm sat on the edge of my seat and might order an Air now while puffitup is selling it for 155$ on their black friday. Should I do it?? I won't be able to get a vape with better review than the air for that price right??

First off, not to quibble, but that's not a Black Friday sale, but a Green Friday one, right? I like that distinction:
http://blog.puffitup.com/2015/11/green-friday-the-black-friday-mega-awesome-sale/

Secondly I'd like to second EP's excellent advice. Go for it, you won't regret it. Don't sweat a few dollars, it will give you long and good service, 'vaping up' many times it's purchase price. $20 is a tiny fraction of that cost. It will easily save you many times it's purchase price over combustion and is more efficient than many other vapes.

If you can't get a Solo, at least get an Air.......

I posted this in the grinder section but figured I could get some good opinions here as it will be used for the Air mainly. I need to purchase a new grinder & was looking for any opinions on the following grinders. These are all in a similar price bracket & have a 30% discount currently.

http://www.australianvaporizers.com.au/store/santa-cruz-2pc-shredder-large.html

or for the same money I could get both the below & I like the idea of a storage puck.

My LSV arrived, I thought it would resemble a big air, holy crap, it's about 10X the size. I'm sure I'll use it on special occasions, but I was already back on the AA last night. I don't want to rip and stop, I want to sip all night long, in something that fits in my hand, can be turned in any direction, not be plugged in, and still crank. The AA just takes the right herb prep, and a drop of patience, to get you blasted. I also have a new love for PVHES shorty stems. I got a shorty stem to cook for 30 minutes, maybe 25 sips, perfect for an afternoon read. So freakin' efficient, even if a drop whispier...

best vape on planet earth!

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

LSV is a strong beast, probably not considered a sipper...that being said, I feel the lsv extracts a much fuller spectrum at a faster rate than the air.

It's certainly not 10X bigger, in fact the body length is less than 2 airs high...just saying. After having the both vapes for awhile, i feel they both have their place, for me at least. LSV for home use and the Air for the office and out and about.

I agree it feels a bit large at first, but once you get comfortable, it's a great product. Don't write it off just yet. Plus it's a champ when paired with a bubbler.

Cheers

Hey all. Looks like I joined the club and will have an Air sometime next week. I'm primarily a nano user but wanted something portable for around the house and the occasional use in public.. hence the Air.

I've been reading up on this thread and also checked out the guide @Bravesst put together. One question I had was the battery situation. Is puffitup a good source for spare batteries and charger? Do most of you rock a charger? I'll only be using this guy occasionally, but wanted a few spare batteries in case I go out of town and can't take a nano.

Any must have accessories?

Thanks, and bear with me.. still reading this thread. Looks like most of you are pretty happy with this guy. My current portable is a Pax that I primarily use with tobacco, sometimes mixing in some cannabis if out in public..

In terms of batteries I have 2 and charge them via the Air its self. Some people have up to 12 batteries (you know who you are ;) ) and I think people with more tend to use an external charger.

In terms of accessories I personally have a USB cable to charge from a portable power bank or a car USB port.

A ego vape case which is good for storing the Air, a few stems a spare battery and some herb- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vapour-Carr...448738931&sr=8-2&keywords=large+ego+vape+case

An Arizer Solo all glass stem, its like the all glass one which came with your Air except its 115mm I think. I much prefer it, cooler and nicer to sip.

And I have finally just ordered a stem that gives me a 18mm male connection to use with a bubbler :D

If you want any more details about the above just ask :)

Thanks @bluenavey00, good info. So now I'm thinking 1 or 2 spare batteries and I like the idea of a USB charger. Think I saw one posted when reading this thread yesterday.

I'll probably get a GonG for the novelty down the road, but I have no immediate need. The nano is primary used with my glass pieces and it does a great job.

Good call on the case.. will do some research on that make.

@CarolKing, why get a Solo as well? Aren't these pretty similar (the Air being the more portable version with less battery life)? I've never used the Solo, but have recommended it to friends based on reviews here. I went with the Air because of puffitup's GF sale and that it is more portable. Maybe I should consider a Solo as well?

And thanks for confirming the Air is a great portable. I'm thinking I made a good purchase that I will get my use out of.

Either of these cables should work, and yes, PIU is a good source of the 'right' battery:

The answer to 'why buy a Solo too?' is a common one, "because you can!". Solo 'undoes' the compromises made to get smaller and simpler. No rush, you'll come to understand I think.

And yes, you done good.

Thanks @OF, it looks like I'll be reading more about the Solo in the next few weeks. I like your example.. it sounds like the Solo is more of the workhorse of the two. I've been on the fence about getting one for the last 2 years.. so maybe.

My main motivation for this purchase was portability. But maybe a Solo for the living room? Already feeling spoiled with two enanos and a few Paxi.

And thanks for the links. USB cable ordered.

The AA came to me with everything I needed. I added domed screens (home made variety) pretty quickly; a significant enhancement but not an absolute necessity. What's needed for the best vaping experience is an unobstructed vapor pathway (clean screen or clean stem holes). I also picked up a couple of extra oem batteries. I charge them exclusively in the AA. I've never had an issue with lack of power (three charged batts = @ 15 sessions), so haven't bought any chargers. I rotate between the nano and the AA as the situation warrants. Recently it's been mostly the AA. It's a gem in my mind; takes me a brief session to get me where the nano gets me in a single hit. I don't often do my nano below 6.3 (well, I never do), but I don't often use my AA above blue. And a nice bit of flavor there at blue.

Watching cricket with a cool drink in front of me & just sippin on white & green. Rather pleasant way to pass a lazy Sunday afternoon. A side bonus of lower temp vaping means I do not end up asleep mid afternoon.

I see a rather clean looking bubbler & Gong seeking some attention & companionship. Sorry ladies but I am having a great time with my two black tipped friends. At least they are interested in more than just getting me on my back as quickly as possible.
