They have built their reputation around creating top-quality hardware with sophisticated designs that produce velvety smooth vapor bursting with flavor.
Despite having been on the market for a while now, the Arizer Solo 2 remains one of the best portable vaporizers around. Staying true to Arizer’s roots, the Solo 2 boasts the signature all-glass vapor tube that expertly cools vapor as it travels toward the mouthpiece. There’s a full spectrum of temperature settings too, so finding that perfect vapor production: flavor ratio for you will be simple.
How Does The Arizer Solo 2 Work?
Now let’s get into the real nitty-gritty. We’ve gone through all the technical specifications, so now let’s talk about how to operate and optimize the Solo 2 so you’re getting the most from it.
1. Heating System
The Arizer Solo 2’s heating system expertly combines methods of conduction and convection. The hybrid system allows for even heating of your dry herbs, contributing to awesome vapor quality in every session. It boasts the speed of convection heating with the power of conduction heating.
2. Loading The Arizer Solo 2
Loading the Solo 2 has been made incredibly easy. All you’ll need to do is grind your dry herbs to a middle ground between course and very fine to produce the best results.
Once you’ve ground your flower and removed the glass stem, you can pack the herbs into the glass chamber and place them back into the unit for heating.
3. Turning on The Arizer Solo 2
Turning on the unit has been made equally as simple. All you need to do is hold the middle and top buttons on the front of the unit.
4. Temperature settings
To cycle through the various temperatures you can use the +/- navigational buttons. The temperature can be increased and decreased in single-degree increments.
Build Quality
Build quality has always been something that has separated Arizer from the majority of vaporizer manufacturers out there. From top to bottom, inside and outside, every Arizer vaporizer is expertly considered and crafted using the finest materials for an unrivaled finish. The Arizer Solo 2 is no exception to this.
What makes the Arizer Solo 2 Stand Out?
Arizer has never failed to amaze with its innovation. The Solo 2 boasts multiple features that tear it away from all its competition, allowing it to stand in its own lane when it comes to dry herb vaping.
As well as precise temperature controls that allow users to increase and decrease temperature easily in one-degree increments, it also features Arizer’s signature all-glass vapor path. As well as looking fantastic, this allows the vapor to cool on its journey toward the mouthpiece for a smooth and flavorful inhale.
What are the Most Important Updates About Arizer Solo 2
Let’s start with something game-changing. While the original Arizer features 7 different temperature settings to choose from, the Solo 2 allows the user’s exact degree temperature control between the same temperatures.
