Old Reviews The Arizer Manual.
- Thread starter TaNg
- Start date
Just got my Arizer yesterday, and I CANNOT BELIEVE how awesome the bud tastes now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've smoked a Silver Surfer before, and another type of vape my buddy had, and they were awesome, but the fact that this thing is portable makes it even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm surprised at how fast it heats up, as well!! The construction seems very solid and the only complaint I had was that the only "user manual" that came with it was a cheesy little sheet that said, "This is how you turn on..." and "This is how you turn off." "This is how you charge."
I was hoping to get a chart with the temperature ranges, but this thread did much better!! Thanks Andy B for setting me up for success from the first pull!! It definitely took a little getting used to, with regards to the meter of the pull, but once I got the rhythm down, I am hitting this thing like a Champ!!!! It uses WAAAAY less bud than a bowl does and tastes so damn good!!

Nice find Bunny http://arizer.com/store/en/hand-held/94-arizer-air-portable-diffuser.html looks like I'm going to have to be good for a few days see if I can get off Santas naughty list lol.
I use 99% iso alcohol and have never had a problem....I also tried acetone...that was a problem.

Killing them softley
Hi All, I just resurrected my Solo. I bought it almost two years ago and the charger failed immediately. I only had a few weeks using it. I recently sent it in under warranty and it's working again.
Dealing with Arizer for their warranty was a breeze. I contacted them by email, submitted my proof of purchase and they referred me to a contract repair shop for the US and I had the device back in a couple of weeks.
It was a satisfactory customer service experience. It would have been great if the service was faster and the return shipping had been free.
Andy thanks for the run down on the Solo. How do you tell when the chamber is spent? I can get vapor out of it for a long time but I can't tell if I am getting any additional benefit. "Munch..munch..munch

Glad you got your Solo working again, Jack! As for the chamber being spent, it's something I just developed a feel for over time. The taste is a big tip off, as you'll get the burnt popcorn flavor coming on at the end. You can also judge if you went long enough by how dark brown the ABV is when you are done. The Solo will not combust, so if you are still getting vapor, there is still some resin left in the chamber. But I always stop before that point as I don't want the poor taste and harshness. I'd say on average I'm done after 6-8 big draws, but your mileage may vary.

Just put in an order for the Arizer Air: http://arizer.com/store/en/hand-held/94-arizer-air-portable-diffuser.html
Looks like they've resolved a couple of issues that I had with the Solo, so I'm really looking forward to trying it out. I'll post up some impressions next week.

OK folks, time to breathe some life back into this thread. I am madly in love with my Solo & it's my goto vape when I don't have the time to fire up the SSV. While it's not the most portable from the standpoint of sticking it in your pocket, it's definitely something I want to have with me when I travel. Due to the glass components, it really needs some sort of case for protection, and I was not too eager to spend $40+ on the ones premade for the Solo. Here's my solution:
I have a lot of expensive watches, gadgets, handguns, and other items that I need to protect, and for years I've used Pelican cases. A while back I made the switch to Seahorse cases, which are more affordable and offer the same level of protection. These cases can be run over with a car, they're waterproof, airtight/odor proof, and can be locked with a padlock to keep prying eyes out. I have kids and so I need a case that I can throw in the back of the SUV and not have the smell of weed leaking out as well as knowing that my stuff is protected even if it gets buried under piles of family-related junk. I had an extra Seahorse 120 hanging around and decided to make it into a customized case for my Solo. The price fluctuates but they can be had for around $25 in a variety of colors. This is the one I used:

These cases have customizable foam inserts known as 'pick N pluck'. They're prescored with a grid pattern to make for easy removal when customizing the case. The first step is to plan the layout of the different components.

The Solo main unit will just fit with no space to spare. Time to remove the foam and start 'plucking'!

There are YouTube vids about the different methods, but I find it easiest to pinch the foam. Basically just grab on either side of where you want to tear it and pinch before pulling the pieces apart.

First compartment complete!

Next I measure out and pull a space for the straight glass wand.

Since the foam is a couple of inches thick and the glass wand is much thinner, I now have a compartment that is too deep. The solution is to use a serrated knife to cut the removed piece of foam in half and reinsert it in the hole.

Good to go!

Next we continue on with the bent wand. This needs to sit deeper in the case so I cut a thinner piece of foam to go underneath.

And the last step is to fit the AC adapter & the job is done.

Everything is snug inside and won't move even if you toss the case around. I also heated up the wand on the maximum setting for several minutes and stuck it up against the foam with no ill effects. This solves the problem of what to do with the glass parts when you finish but they're still very hot - I can just stick them right in the case without needing to let them cool. Another tip is to go to the hardware store and get some rubber screw protectors to use as caps for the wands. MFLB owners will recognize these as the same things used for AA battery caps, and that's what gave me the idea.
View attachment 349034
They fit perfectly on the end of the wand and can be used when the glass is still hot. Great for a load that you didn't get to finish, or if you want to preload a fresh one for later. It also holds in the smell quite well.
Hopefully this has been helpful to some of you Arizer Solo owners out there! Vape on, friends!
just thought id give a ladies point of view....i love my solo and take it every where. i just throw it in my purse and away i go. no fancy case needed imo. the body of the unit is like mine solid and sexy and i picked up a wooden stem off ebay for $30 soo i dont have to worry about the glass breaking in my bag. it is also more draw efficient and actually produces cool vapor just as the glass does. not to mention it just looks classy. i assume it will work for the new AIR as well as i beleive the parts are interchangeable. anayway thats about it...awesome job on the case!!
