Solo II only used 2 times, literally brand new. In the original box.
Heating Specs and Temp Options
- Full temp spectrum 122F 428F
- Fast heat up ~20 seconds to 400. First couple hits are weaker until the bowl becomes a bit more heat soaked.
- Hold the top button and menu button simultaneously to turn on the solo 2.
- The unit does NOT automatically begin heating when powered on. Need to press the up arrow to begin heating the bowl.
- Session timer is set to 10 minutes by default. You can change it to anything between 5-15 minutes. I recommend setting it to 7-8 minutes to save battery life and herb if you forget that its running.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning:The biggest issue with the Arizer products in general is the screen in the stems. Materials will collect in the screen if you dont brush out the chamber after every session. This will increase draw resistance and decrease overall enjoyment. The unit itself requires practically zero cleaning or maintenance.
Maintenance:Theres really no way that you can completely avoid getting materials in the screens. However, you can slow down the process by emptying the chamber out immediately after a session and brushing out any materials leftover. You can change screens frequently to avoid the problem all together OR just remove the screen and let it sit in some ISO. Rinse it off with some warm water and let it completely dry before throwing it back in the chamber.
Solo 2 Battery Information
Avg Battery Life:Ive been averaging about 2 hours and 50 minutes of battery life on a full charge which is insane. Granted, the Solo 2 is definitely bigger and heavier than most other portables but you CAN still pocket it for use on the go. I was able to get about 17 sessions on average before the battery died.
Avg Charging Times:Ive been averaging exactly the same charge times at 2 hours and 50 minutes. So its safe to say about three hours of use to three hours of charging.
Charging Options:The Solo 2 charges via an external DC wall charger. It does have pass through charging but it needs to charge for 5-10 minutes before starting a session. It will not operate if the battery is completely dead.
