Arizer Solo
The Arizer Solo measures about the size of a soda can and weighs just under 200 grams (7 ounces).
A LED indicator shows the current temperature. When turned off and on, the Solo remembers the last used temperature. There are 7 preset temperatures:
1: 122°F ( 50°C)
2: 365°F (185°C)
3: 374°F (190°C)
4: 383°F (195°C)
5: 392°F (200°C)
6: 401°F (205°C)
7: 410°F (210°C)
Depending on the temperature setting, a charged battery will last for 3-4 hours. Charging takes about 4 hours. The Arizer Solo cannot be used when the battery is charging. It is important to note that his built-in battery cannot be replaced by users.
To save battery power, the unit automatically shuts off after 12 minutes.

Arizer Solo review
By Rodrigo T on 15-06-2011Arizer 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.
Arizer Solo review
By August West on 28-06-2011Arizer 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.
Arizer Solo Review
By Vaporizer Info on 15-07-2011Prior 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
Prior to receiving our Solo, we had read about the unit’s dimensions and knew it was about the size of a small soda can. Of course we had to verify this, and it turned out the Solo is just a little bit smaller than the size of a Red Bull can – the mouthpiece excluded. The vape is quite compact and feels very sturdy. The only plastic parts on the exterior are the buttons and the the part where the LED’s are, which runs onto the base. The Solo looks and feels like it can take a beating.
It is nice to see it comes with a spare diffuser tube, cause even though the glass is fairly thick, it’s still prone to breaking.
On the top of the unit sits a small rubber port, which can be opened to attach the diffuser tube (or potpourri dish).
Function
After charging the Solo for some time (impatient as I am I didn’t fully charge it, which according to the manufacturer takes 4 hours) it is time to put it to use. Curious to know how long it takes to heat up from idle to heat setting 7 (410°F /210°C), I used a timer and found out that the Solo only needs 2 minutes and 40 seconds to fully heat up. Quite impressive!
When heating up, the ‘HEAT’ light flashes, and the heating process is shown by the lights going up from 1 until 7. All in all, operating the unit feels quite intuitive.
When out of the box, the Arizer Solo is set to beep when turned on and when pressing any of the buttons. I was happy to found out that this rather annoying beeping noise can be disabled by pressing and holding the UP button for a second or two.
When loading the diffuser tube I found it helpful to first load the tube, and keep the Solo upside down while connecting the tube, to avoid spilling herb. The glass tube easily fits into the heater, a bit too loosely to my liking. I personally would have preferred a ground glass connection that would hold the mouthpiece a bit tighter, although that would reduce the ability of the glass to rotate. As long as you keep the Solo upright there shouldn’t be any problems.
After loading up the glass stem with some grounded herb and switching it on, it was time to see if the Solo can beat its handheld rivals in terms of efficiency.
At temperature setting 6 the taste is great, all flavours are there and the temperature of the inhaled vapor seems to be just right. The hits are thicker than any other portable vaporizer tried I’ve tried, and there is virtually no learning curve. It is about as convenient as portable vaporizing can get.
The tiny holes in the glass tube didn't allow for any herb to pass through, but I could see this happen if one draws faster or when the herb is very finely ground.
Conclusion
The Arizer Solo is everything you could wish for in a battery-powered portable vape, and it is hard to come up with cons, apart from minor ‘flaws’ such as not being able to vape during charging and the fact that the built-in lithium battery can only be replaced by Arizer (at the cost of $95).
The quality and taste of the vapor produced by the Solo are unparalleled, and the fast heat-up time only adds to this. The well-thought-out design of the Arizer Solo makes it a very easy to use vaporizer.
I believe that this ease of use and the impressive battery life make up for its slightly larger size. It is still small enough not to draw unwanted attention, and let’s not forget that it is completely silent (provided you turn off the beep).
Arizer Solo review
By Visitor on 02-12-2011I 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!!!!

Arizer Solo review
By dodiebird on 22-02-2012This 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. . .
