Arizer Solo, you who were picked up by a bunch of smugglers aboard the ship Good Fortune.
You who met your friend Chewbacca when you were a student officer of the Imperial Fleet.
Solo, you who, accompanied by luke and obiwan, went to the rescue of Princess Leia….
Hop hop hop what do I do me !!?? It's not Han Solo, but Arizer Solo Vaporizer from Arizer Tech that we're talking about!!
I get my mind back and we start….
The Arizer Solo vaporizer was the first portable vaporizer from Canadian manufacturer Arizer Tech.
After a somewhat difficult start for technical reasons (airflow clogged and smell of robot ass as our friends Quebecois..) he was soon considered the reference.
The Best Seller portable vaporizer until 2014!
Indeed, at that time, which represents the beginning of the rise of portable vaporizers, the Solo Arizer exploded everything in its path! A !!! revolution
I was personally impressed with the Arizer Solo when I bought it in 2011.
I had quit smoking a year earlier thanks to Vaporgenie and I had to take it to the next level.
I was mostly tired of my Iolite and its hot steam to the taste of plastok!!
It is true that for the time, the characteristics were mind-blowing …
He sprays the plants! Okay, ok! There, nothing abnormal!
But, it also heats the potpourri, diffuses essential oils, deodorizes, heats the candles without stem and without flame, heats the scented beads, dehydrates the spices, heats the wood chips, and even the petrified incense!! and does the dishes!?? (for the last one, it requires verification …)
It's like a joke, but it's not a joke! For example, the Arizer Solo melts a lemongrass candle that fits into the glass bowl.

Arizer Solo convection and radiation spray
The Arizer Solo uses a hybrid heater system!
Although mostly by convection, the Arizer Solo vapo works with a significant share of Radiation/Radiation
How, you can't remember what the different types of heaters are?
Will you have to put the definition to each vapo test, right?
Come on hop, it's okay this time…
Convection is when it is the warm air that passes through the plant that extracts the active ingredients.
On the other hand, radiation or radiation will be used when the heat source is close enough to plant matter to extract molecules.
To make you understand, the filling chamber (bol) is at the base of the glass mouthpiece and it simply fits on the stainless steel heater of the Arizer Solo vaporizer.
When you suck, you will bring air up through the vapo (we'll talk about it below …)
This air will be heated by the heating element and go up through the plant to your mouth.
It's effective convection, so far everything is fine …
On the other hand, the bowl being placed on the heating element and even if the plant material is not in direct contact, the radiation will brown the upper part of the plant that is almost in contact with the stainless steel …
In the end, the plant is not heated evenly and you can find very dark plant matter and another light brown part…
One of the two main defects of the Arizer Solo vaporizer…
Arizer Solo steam quality
Level made aromatic, there is nothing wrong because the steam is really soft and fresh thanks to its long glass tube (stem).
On the other hand, there is a problem that has long been controversial, it is the passage of air …
There is not much doubt that the airpath (air passage) is not completely isolated from the rest of the vaporizer.
Indeed, the air passes through the small holes below and through the buttons…
Not top in absolute even I can not say that the air passes through the components (apparently it would end up in taste..).
Clearly, it's like we're the cooling system of the Arizer Solo… Weird!???
This is really the singlest's biggest flaw.
Note that this problem was solved in all the Arizer vaporizers that came after (Arizer Solo 2, Arizer Air, Arizer Air 2, Arizer Go Argo)
Arizer Solo Battery and Battery
With its 2 compacted batteries, the Solo still offers a battery life of at least 6 sessions, which is still excellent today!
In addition, since 2013, the Arizer Solo can be used directly during the charge… So at this level, we are really quiet, pampered, fresh ….
The day when your batteries no longer work or have lost too much in battery life, you can buy them and easily change them on your own like a big one!

Ergonomics of the Arizer Solo
What can be said of the Arizer Solo vaporizer is that it is neither ugly nor beautiful and is very easy to handle.
Because of its size and weight (230g), this vapo fits into any bag or suitcase to take it anywhere with its cylindrical shape.
On the other hand, the mouthpiece does not fit in the vapo, but this is normal given its size
So you will have to find a solution to move with its tube without breaking it and I can imagine that some do not find it very convenient!
How the Arizer Solo vaporizer works
Turn on/off: Press the 2 Solo buttons for a few seconds
Once on, the Solo begins by indicating the battery's state of charge (from 1 to 7).
Use the arrows to choose the right temperature.
Seven temperatures are available!
| Temperatures | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 50oC |
| 2 | 185oC |
| 3 | 190oC |
| 4 | 195oC |
| 5 | 200oC |
| 6 | 205oC |
| 7 | 210oC |

izer solo LED temperatures
LED
IDLE, blue, indicates that the device is in the IDLE position, i.e. it is not heating up.LED HEAT, red, indicates that the unit is heating up.
LED PWR LOW: Red LED, indicates that the battery is low and needs to be recharged.
LED CHARGED: Green LED, will flash during charging, when it no longer flashes it means that the battery is fully recharged.
The Arizer Solo is an ingenious portable vaporizer that remembers the last temperature selected.
You have the choice of placing the tip right away or waiting for the temperature to reach.
Personally, I prefer the first solution!

In conclusion
I was able to experience a whole bunch of versatile practices with this vaporizer, for a price that has become after all these years more than reasonable.
Even today, the Arizer Solo vaporizer can be a good solution if you can't put 200 euros in a vapo!
