Arizer Solo

Vor der Markteinführung traten nur wenige Informationen über den neuen tragbaren Vaporizer von Arizer, dem Solo, an die Öffentlichkeit. Es ist der dritte von der Firma Arizer Tech veröffentlichte Vaporizer und die Erwartungen waren diesmal hoch. Nun ist es an der Zeit uns diesen tragbaren Vaporizer etwas genauer anzusehen!

Aussehen

Der Solo kommt gut verpackt mit viel Schutzfolie, vor allem um die Glasteile. Alle Teile sind sicher und einzeln verpackt um Schäden während des Transports zu vermeiden.

In der Schachtel finden wir:

• 1 Arizer Solo Vaporizer (oder wie in der Bedienungsanleitung beschrieben, „Batteriebetriebenes Mehrzweck Heizelement“)
  
• 2 gläserne Diffuser-Röhrchen
  
• 1 gläserne Potpourri-Schale
  
• 1 Ladegerät (und in unserem Fall ein EU-Adapterstecker)
  
• Bedienungsanleitung
  
• Kräuterprobe

Hab ihn gekauft als er rauskamm. Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Er ist mir aus ca. 1.4m höhe auf eine Waschbetonplatte gefallen und hat oben nur einen kleinen Kratzer abbekommen. Das Mundstück ist mir etwas zu jackelig in der oberen Öffnung des Solo und die Löcher sind mir etwas zu groß. Man kann kein feingehächseltes Kraut rein tun ohne das etwas beim ziehen durchkommt deswegen benutze ich kleine Siebe(10mm).Die Temperatur erscheind mir schon bei stuffe 2(185°C) vollkommen ausreichend zu sein. Hab auch nen XtremQ der bei 185°C nicht soviel dampf macht wie der Solo. Stufe 3 und 4 Dampfen schon heftig(ist mir fast zu heiss). Der Iolite z.B kann beim Dampf überhaupt nicht mithalten da ist der Solo schon sehr gut. Im Mundstück setzt sich schnell Kondensat ab aber der Solo an sich bleibt immer sauber auch nach 100maligem Gebrauch. Mundstück ist gut und einfach mit etwas Alkohol zu reinigen Das akku hält was es verspricht.(da gehen 4 Stunden). Den Potburi hab ich nicht probiert, sollte aber gehen. Fazit: Für Unterwegs ein super Teil. Sehr schnelles aufheizen, klein und handlich+ lange Akkulaufzeit

Arizer did a great job with the Solo. It is small, lightweight and most important: it produces big and tasty hits of vapor. Ive used it throughout the day now and havent had to charge the battery yet which I think is a great plus compared to other portable vapes.

joint? bong? pipe? iphone? -> past
Arizer Solo -> future

treat yourself.

Arizer really came through with this one........wow. It's expensive but very well designed and you won't believe the big tasty hits you get....and keep getting from it. Adjustable temperature and ALL GLASS delivery system make this a new day in portable vapes. no expensive butane required either (yeah you know who you are)

If you're looking for a new portable buy this one....YOU WON"T BE SORRY! Guaranteed.

Prior to the launch, not much information had leaked about Arizer’s new portable vape, the Solo. It is the third vaporizer coming from the Arizer Tech company, and expectations were high this time. Time to take a closer look at this Canadian made portable vaporizer!

Looks

The Solo comes securely packed with lots of protective foil, especially around the glass parts. All parts are securely and separately packed to avoid damage during transport.

Inside the box we find:

• 1 Arizer Solo Vaporizer (or as described on the instruction sheet, ‘Multi-purpose Battery Powered Micro Heater’)
• 2 glass diffuser tubes
• 1 glass potpourri dish
• 1 charger (and in our case, a EU adapter plug)
• Instruction manual
• Herbal sample

I received the solo yesterday and was quite impressed it looks solid and feels solid. Easy to turn on and off and easy to adjust temps, and it reaches temps fairly quickly. The battery seems to last quite awhile,..still going on a full charge ( about 5 times used and still going strong) although it has an auto shut off @ 12 min.
The diffuser tubes that came with it seems like the holes are too small and I am not able to take a draw like i wanted or feel like it should, ( I do have a "box" style from vapor warez that has worked flawlessly for 5 years that hits hard and the air flow has not much resistance) so i may be biased but its not like hitting a pipe....Air has to basically go around the tube from the top, it does not go through any part of the machine or element which is like a cup that heats up then heats the tube ( can get very hot be careful!!!) which then vaps the goods, once you get used to hitting its ok ( still wish it had more air flow).... after turning it on it took 2 or 3 min to heat not too bad,....i tried at 4 first and it barely worked ,....basically put it at 6 to work descent...had a pretty strong plastic or rubber taste the first few times( again I use a vapor box that uses glass and ceramic which is very clean) but it does seem to be going away,...After i tested it I had to take off the cap to see what was going on and was a little disappointed to see a plastic " case" holding the heater,.....not sure if or how much chemicals get emitted by getting pretty hot......don't know, again seems like its going away.....Anyway as a vapor "SNOB" I only use vaporizers...for 5 years, and feel this could be a good alternative for vaping on the go.....we'll see.....take care!!!!

Great gadget, works very fine and produces incredible vapor. the only thing is, that after turning off it doesnt memorizes the temperatur. or does anybody know how i can adjust that?

This thing is blowing my mind as I write. Get it, it'll be your new best friend.

This was touted as "portable". The earlier reviews I read said it did better than the Whispr at altitude which is why I bought it. The "instructions", which don't tell you anything at ALL about how to operate it, give you a list of things the Solo will not do. Does not function well with temperature changes. The "glass" gets too hot to touch and you have to wait at least 2 minutes before disassembling. This is heavy and definetly NOT portable. The "glass" pieces do not fit so I contacted AllStarVapes.com the shady company I bought it from. They will not return or exchange or refund the product. BEWARE. The glass tubes do not fit in the device. Allstar told me to heat it up and the "mealeable material" (glass?) will mold to fit the unit. Dangerous. Also - I just learned you are not able to replace the battery yourself once it runs out. DON'T BUY THIS UNIT!! I have a friend with a Whispr and if you want portability - get that one. Bummed I can't get an exchange, etc. Anyone want to purchase a brand new Arizer Solo? Best for home use, or hotel, etc. Not for hiking, camping, on the go. . .

The last reviewer is inpatient. I too thought the tubes (bowls) didnt fit, but they do. Watch a Youtube video.

The only Drawback I have found are the fact you cant chatge and use at the same time. And a fairly difficult draw (compared to old school papers).

Otherwise its frikkin awesome. I mean AWESOME!!

Realy little great vaporizer!

I Love my micro solo!
I am fairly new to using a vaporizer.
The micro solo is so handy! It works amazing, the people I have talked to about vaporizing when I tell them about the solo they want one!
It heats up very quickly! It shuts off after 12 minutes which is good for the battery and by than your herb is usually getting over done. Its super easy to clean. Compact!
Overall I have nothing bad the say about the solo; only I wish it were cheaper!

I've used the "Arizer Solo" for about 4 months now and I simply have to say, I have never been more satisfied with a portable vaporizer before in my whole life(and regarding vaporizers, that's over 10 years of first-hand experience)! First, I also had the problem with getting the glass tubes right and tight into the metallic heating chamber(I had the option to choose between the old and the new, metallic version and I went with the latter), but when I had overcome this miniscule design issue, I was blown away by the sheer aromatic intensity due to the vapour's density, especially at the beginning of a bowl the taste compares absolutely to raw eating of the material, at least when you blow the air out through your nostrils, which I strongly recommend(in general with all vaporizers...like Puff, the Magic Dragon ;) ).

It even works well with rather humid material, in contrast to my experiences with forced-air vaporizers like Storz+Bickel's "Volcano"(which I also own and still use from time to time, especially when I sit in my chamber, while my girlfriend watches something I can't stand or when I seek inspiration for the creation of graphics or music), but the glass tube will naturally hold the humidity and will have to be cleaned sooner, as more condensation material is left inside the tube with more humid material. But if you use dried material, it holds really a long time, before you have to change or clean a screen or glass tube. I haven't changed my tubes yet, it is very stable and I've cleaned it with Ethanol, which works best for me. I prefer the straight tube. First, I use the second heat level(but you can also start sucking during the heating phase, although I usually insert the glass tube only after it has reached the second level) and when the material turns brown and gets that roasted taste, I use the third level to get the rest out of it. I cut it up again to pulverize it perfectly, when it's heating up for the third level.

The only two things I would like to address, are the missing "Sound Off"-Option, when it automatically turns off after 12 minutes(and also when you turn it on...but on the other hand, at least you see the remaining power level every time you turn it on) and the annoying necessity to buy another power supply for usage during charging. I still think it's a straight five-star product, especially for single person (outdoor) use, but 2-5 people can also have way enough from 1 load, naturally depending on the quality of the material that's being used. The "potpourri bowl" can be used for freebasing pure substances or vaporizing budder or oils, if you use it in combination with one of the glass tubes and on the seventh temperature level. I've bought mine at "JustVaporize" and it came in a perfectly fitting "VapeCase" for under 190€ or about 210€ including import taxes. I've owned and used a "SmokeBubble" and an "Iolite" before, the first is better for freebasing pure substances than for vaporizing herbs and the latter was defunctional after 18 months of daily usage(to be fair, that probably was my own fault, as I hadn't always used 5-times refined gas like "Vector"...but even when the "Iolite" seems to be far cheaper first, the expensive gas will neutralize that advantage over time). I still use my "Volcano Classic" sometimes(especially when I got enough time to finish 2-3 ballons, which I get from one load, about half the size of the Volcano's "Easy Valve" chamber, to which I have switched, after being fed up with making my own balloons with the "Solid Valve") as described above and also for bigger party settings, as a huge bag is sure a good thing to share(as you can see more clearly how much is left or how much you already had), but if you don't care about refilling from time to time(and re-charging if you don't own the extra power supply and it's a longer party), then the Arizer Solo will make it totally fine!

BEST purchase ever, next to my Volcano. The Arizer Solo is PERFECT for traveling! :)

Best portable, personal vape. Period! I also have a Volcano, but find I'm pulling the Solo out more of the time lately.

Arizer Solo is just perfect!!!
