The Arizer Air

[nockel]

Hey Dudes,

has someone the Arizer Air 2 + Air Max ans can compare?

 

[buzzard1]

I bought the Arizer Air, dunno if its 1 or 2 or what? Got it around 7 yrs ago. Tried it once, cleaned it, and boxed it.
Too messy, stinky, too much hassle, etc. I might be enticed to break it out again if somebody can take the time to
post instructions and some tips and hints how to maximize use of it.

You’ve got 10000+ posts at your disposal. LOL

Seriously I have an Air but prefer my Solo. Both require a slow draw and taking a bit of time between pulls. It isn’t gonna be a one hit extractor but it is sturdy and will last a long time if treated properly.

Oh boy here we go… that long ago has to be og air same as I have. so what you’re really gonna want to do is— keep me posted when someone tells you how to actually enjoy this.

It was my first vape, bought in all its dopey bootleg lightsaber glory, swayed by legions of ents saying how it was the best get when you prioritized the herb over the gimmick. Function over form. Pbbbbbbllllt . May get a wispy terpy first hit only to be quickly followed by toasted, popcorny, lackluster vapor for the remainder of the forever sessions.

If you’re a Vasshole and know what yo DO like, then tell me when this one does the trick, I’d love to love it, but MORE importantly:
If this is your only vape experience, just go with whatever you originally thought you wanted before the know it alls convinced you!

I have no exp past the 3, (it can’t have gotten worse,) but damn it if the Pax and its conduction flexing oven doesn’t throw PLENTY enough flavor out for how goddamn good it looks (Or doesn’t look- It’s practically invisible) vs “hold on a sec” and strapping the air into its army surplus web pouch system.
And things only better from there!

Get a different vape!

(But, I mean, still keep it in your weird closet with all the rest of the “way too much of this shit for an adult, let alone a parent” shit
- let’s not get crazy here) -ahem

Sounds like people may be packing too much or tamping too hard.

Load good weed.
Pack it fluffy.
Temp step up.

It's a great vape.
It's not for everyone.

 

[GetLeft]

I don't remember the air being a hassle or smelly but then again it's been for ever since I've used mine. I'd say it set itself apart as far as pocketable conduction vapes at the time it came out. Solid tech and effective. Just not particularly quick or free flowing in comparison with what's available these days. As far as usage, if I were to dig mine up I'd be sure to grind my material nicely, not to over pack the stem and to do a calm, slow-drawing session.

Thank you. I think i had 10K or 15K posts, one time at a diff board. Glad I re-found this one. Great board, but PC screwed up and I lost everything. I'd only been reg'ed here for long enough to like FCOM (about 2 months) when PC collapsed on me. Yeah, I'm a post pix just to be sporting, but that thing's back in the box, in the "weird closet", like the man says. Lemme get back to ya. . Set it all up out there bagged 'er up, boxed dat bitch. Those bowls look like one-hit size. I got to go now

 

[buzzard1]

Wow, u have to go to Media button to post image files. And this imgur post wow,
it's got imgur link on it, and white borders. Anyhow, I promised a stoopid pic of the
stoopid Arizer i have. I laid it all out just for this dumbass pic. I thought I'd ask questions
about it by labeling all the items, and asking which does which. Like for example, for wtf
do we need this big glass bowl? Incense or something? How many hits do you get out of
one of these tiny little bowls? It burns slower, because, well, it doesn't really burn, right? It
VAPORIZES instead, isn't that the idea?

Oh, and another question i have about vape pens. I have this disposable vape pen by Crystal Clear.
Looks kinda like this:

Well, wow, I can't figure out this new
interface here. I can't post images inside my post for some reason. The links will open an image
to the host, imgur.com, but they're not opened in my post. Damn...it's a diff interface here. You
have both an Insert Image button and a Media button which includes imgur.com. But they only
post links to the images.

Talk about distracted, now i'm messin' with image files so much i can't even remember wtf i was
talking about as it relates to this post about...what was it now...oh yeah, Arizer and disposable vape pens.

Well, it shows now. Now where was i?........

 

[buzzard1]

Wow, i can't even post yet. Anyhow, the disposable vape pen Crystal Clear I just now
charged. There are no instructions ever on how LONG to CHARGE anything. IE, the
Arizer, it tells u how to charge, but no where does it say how long. So, i put my
disposable vape pen by Crystal Clear on charger for a bit less than an hour and the
light that turns blue when you hit it was on steady. I unplugged it and it blinked 3
times, so i assume that's fully charged.

Upshot is i found a link on how to charge pens, disposable or not. It follows:

Disposable vs Non-Disposable Vape Pens​

Disposable vape pens have become one of the most reliable and convenient ways to enjoy a vape session without having to worry about charging, cleaning, loading, and replacing parts. The only thing you would ever have to replace is the vape itself once it has finished. This can be ideal for minimalists and those who are constantly on the go with little time to spare.


Non-disposable vapes on the other hand are truly the gold standard when it comes to portability, stealth, and long-term usage with a device you know inside and out. Those who want a more tailored and dialed-in approach to their vape sessions will find the versatility of a standard vape pen to be superior to all else.


3-in-1 combination vapes like the SteamCloud Box Mod have become one of the most efficient and reliable vapes on the market today. Users will find vapes like this essential when it comes to customizing vape sessions with variable voltage settings and temperature gauges. When it comes to the right type of vape, users will have to weigh in their daily schedules and discover what it is they are looking for in a vape, since both offer their unique benefits.

How to Prepare a Disposable Vape Pen Charger​

It should be repeated that you should not attempt to open, recharge, or otherwise use a disposable vape pen once it has been spent. We offer this information for educational purposes only. The truth is that there are no chargers whatsoever for a disposable vape pen. They do not exist, nor are there any ports on a disposable device that could accommodate one.


If you want to recharge a disposable vape pen, you will need a charger that you are willing to destroy. A micro-USB adapter would work for this. Never use large cables or chargers designed for electronics such as a laptop. Now, take a pair of scissors and cut off the end of the charger right below the piece that plugs into your phone. You should see two wires: one red, and one black.


If you see more than those two colored wires, just ignore them. Cut away a few inches of insulation away from the wires you just cut. You should see two copper wires exposed. This is what you will be using to charge your disposable vape pen.

How to Prepare a Disposable Vape Pen for Charging​

Accessing the battery on a disposable vape pen is the next step. Take a pair of pliers and gently remove the cap at the bottom of the vape, right where the LED is. Everything should just slide out from the encasing. At this point, if you still see some e-liquid inside the tank, then it will be worth taking the next steps. If not, then there really is no point.


You will notice everything connected with wires: the battery, tank, and LED. The wires will be very fragile and prone to easy breakage. You will need to solder any wires that might inadvertently break back onto the assembly.


Take care not to handle the components too heavily as this could cause the wires to snap or the other pieces to break off. At this point you will either want to continue or just simply throw in the towel and forget about the whole thing, as it is really not worth going through all the trouble, honestly.

How to Combine the Two to Charge the Disposable Vape Pen​

Identify the positive and negative terminals on the battery. Some will have a positive and negative symbol, while others might have colors signifying which is which. It should be repeated again, that if you even have to ask which color means what, then you should not be attempting to do this. For the sake of completion, red is positive, and black is negative.


Usually, the battery’s negative terminal will be at the end connected to the LED, while the positive terminal will be the one connected to the tank. Plug the charger into the wall, press the black wire against the black terminal and the red one against the positive terminal. Holding these in place will charge the battery.


Since these batteries are not meant to be charged, you run the risk of the battery exploding, or shocking yourself. Holding the wires in place for a minute or two will yield a couple more hits off your vape, assuming you still have any e-juice left. Holding the wires together for longer than a minute or two will increase the risks involved.

The End Result​

The truth is you will not know for sure if all this time and effort will be worth it until you put the vape back together to see if it worked. Not only is it tedious and time-consuming, but it is also risky and cannot be stressed enough. Never use metal or any other material conducive to electrical currents to clamp down or hold the charger in place!


This will almost always result in a complete circuit between the battery terminals and will explode the battery. The best way to go about doing all this is to not even attempt to do it at all. Risking your health over a couple of hits off a disposable vape is just plain stupid. Again, we offer this information for educational purposes only and will not be held responsible for your decisions.


Always remember that the whole point of having a disposable vape is to have it remain disposable. Humans will be humans however, and curiosity has killed and maimed many cats over the course of history. Please, do not be a part of that history. Vape, throw it away, and just buy a new one for Pete’s sake...

How Do You Use a Disposable Vape Pen?

Interesting that the disposables only charge 2 or 3 times, and they can over charge and blow the fuck up!

 

[hillbill]

We have several vaporizers with replaceable 18650s and use a dual charger mostly. The charger wall warts still get used also. I have a couple batteries going toward 4 years of very frequent use.

 

[LeftBased]

Spotted a new arizer product on POTV called "Arizer Air SE" uses one 18650 battery, seems promising.

Features​

• Experience Arizer’s Signature Quality at an affordable price
• Enjoy extended sessions with a 10-minute session timer
• Take it anywhere with its lightweight, pocketable design
• Quickly jump into sessions with vapor ready to go in under a minute
• Skip the charge times with a user-replaceable battery and pass-through charging

 

[DataRocks]

This looks like a recycled Air 1. Wonder if they fixed the airpath issues.

 

[pop22]

Looks like I'm late to the party...
I got an OG Air from POTV from their Lightly Used section. Came with a 1 year warranty so I took it. I had considered the Air SE but I didn't like the plastic look and it also has only a 1 year warranty. And Not only was it lighly used, it was never used! I figured this out when I couldn't get a stem in it.... the original owner must have dropped it or jammed the stem into. There was a partial ring of broken glass wedged into the seal.
Vape works perfectly. And ther emust have beem some that had weak heater, because I've read here about ocmplaints on vapor production. Well, it's not an issue with mine! It produces volumes of tasty vapor! And I like the smplicity, no LCD screen and other useless bells and whistles. Turn it on, set the temp and away you go. I upgraded the battery to a 20 amp. % sessions so far and still going strong. I'm pleased with this vape! And I got it for $87.00 !

Love my Air SE, it's my back up to my Solo 3 which needs warranty after 3 months, the SE went 6 months.

I almost bought an Air Max but I just couldn't justify the price and don't need all the things it can do. I got this to replace my Argo, which was a good vape, great for on the go. Good that the SE is working for you! I'm definitely enjoying the air. I'm using it with a long stem from my Solo 2. Had something weird happen, the glass screen fell out of the stem that came with the air! I thought the screen was machined into the stem as I've read of people breaking the screen out and replacing it with a wire basket screen.

 

[hillbill]

I fashion elevated screens from SS pipe screens, cutting 8 even spaced slots and bending the resulting tabs down as legs to make about 1/8” space between the base of the oven. Makes for great flowing vaping and also saves your herb.
Pushing a domed screen in with dome up works well. Screen gets pushed down in the center but it will still work the same way.

 

[pop22]

I seem to be using the Air more than all my other vapes. It's my main around home vape, my IQC is my travel vape, now that th Argo is broken.

 

[hillbill]

Vaping a little Rosetta 78 Tester from Brothers Grimm in my OG Air right now. Will continue testing.
