First post on grasscity, shared this on 420magazine forum, 150 views later and not a single response. Thats not the kind of forum I'm looking to be a part of. Anyway, I've been doing a lot of r&d with the arizer solo and I have some nice hints/tips/mods to share with you all. Before I type up everything I want to share my favorite mod.
For this mod to be the most effective you have to grind your bud up VERY fine. I load my grinder and hold it upside down and grind, shake, grind, repeat until it looks like about 25% keif with the rest still very fine.
If you own a solo there's a pretty good chance you already put a screen in your stem(s) to keep the pull through/scoobs out of your mouth. I messed with different screen setups and came up with a mod that allows you to use less bud, vape longer, and get just as high (I think higher).
I run a dual screen setup which essentially acts as a dual chamber bowl. Heres what you do: run a fine screen (smaller holes) in the bottom of the stem. Fill the stem to only about 15% full with the finest ground (mostly keif) bud.
While browsing lowes I came across some garden hose filters which can be found in the plumbing section in a pack of 3 for like $2.79. Whats great about these is that they are designed to be inside a garden hose so they're stainless steel. They have to be cut and shaped a little but what makes these so different is that they are dome shaped. Place the second screen in the stem/bowl over the finely ground bud. Make sure that there is plenty of empty space between the bud on the bottom and the "inside" of the dome shaped screen. Here is a pic of the stem loaded with the finely ground weed and the dome shaped screen on top of it:
As you can see the dome screen takes up a lot of space inside the bowl so you can use far less weed. Afterward fill the bowl the rest of the way so it looks like this.
This creates a dual chamber bowl, you get a lot more air flow and circulation. I've used the dual screen setup a few times now and every time its simply amazing. I weigh out an allowance of 0.3g of bud each day and I can pack the bent stem bowl about 4-6 times. One stem makes me feel amazing, 2 stems and I'm SAILING!!
What else is great about this...after learning how to use the solo I could usually vape the full 12 minutes (auto shutoff is 12 min) before it was kicked. With this setup you're still blowing decently flavored clouds when it shuts off. Now I turn it back on and vape another 3-5 minutes before its done.
It's great! I set the solo on 3 and vape away, then turn it up to 4. By this time pull out the stem and observe your bud. The top layer will be nicely browning while the stuff on the bottom will still be green. Its almost as if you get to vape 2 bowls...at the same time near the end. Slowly kick up the temperature every 2-5 pulls (depending on how big they are).
Anyone who has experience with the solo will know that by now the vape is starting to get thinner and thinner. With this setup you'll be surprised when 8-10 minutes in you're still pulling some pretty thick vapor.
I have some more thoughts, hints, tips for the solo that I will share later. Hopefully you guys/girls can try it and tell me what you think.
