I'm still fairly new to the Solo, but here is the method that I use:

1. Heat unit up to 4 while lightly packing the chamber with herb. I prefer not to use a screen, so I avoid grinding it too fine to keep bits out of the stem as much as possible.
2. When the unit reaches 4 and the HEAT light is off, I insert the tube (upside down, of course).
3. The HEAT light will come back on as the cool glass is inserted. Wait at least until it turns off again before vaping. I let it sit for around 20-30 seconds to get some heat in the chamber before my first pull.
4. Take long and slow draws (10-15 seconds) to get the maximum potential from the herb. You will not see much vapor cloud upon exhale from the first couple of draws, but the taste is best.
5. Depending on the material, I may keep it on 4 throughout the session. If I want faster draws or bigger clouds of vapor, I'll bump up the temp one setting after each 2-3 draws. All my usage has been between 3-6. 1-2 are too cool for me and 7 would only be for getting the last bit of goodness from a cashed out chamber.
 
I like to get it started a little different.

I first grind my herbs pack it real tight (about 0.3 grams) then put my solo on top of my moutpiece and then turn the heat on to level 5, when the solo reach level 5 the herb is already warm and ready to go from second 1.

I go thru one cycle (12mins) on level 5 then the Solo turn it self of i then turn it on again but go up to level 7 this second go to gety the last goodies out of it.

I will get around 5-6 mins on level 7 untill the herb is all used up and i am stoned as hell. ;)
 
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.

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! :cool:
 
I have the Solo and this is how I use it.

Pack the bowl loose with lightly grinded buds, approx 0.2 grams, started at 5 and finish at 7, looong slow hauls, super baked in 10 mins

This is the case I bought along with my solo, very similar to yours Andy but no locking ability.

They currently have 10% off and if you bundle the case with the Vape it's an additional 40% off the case

200 for solo + 30 for case - 23 = 207 CDN

One of the best purchases I've ever made, I got mine during 15% off promo but they don't happen often.

:peace:

I bought the case over a year ago. I have replaced the Solo at least once, the battery once the mouthpiece I ran out of fingers counting AND I have never once used the travel box. *LOL* When I am traveling I just put it in a smell proof baggie in my shaving kit bag.
 
Anyone have suggestions on cleaning the whip, from extreme-Q? Will alcohol hurt it?
