Hi all. I have an Arizer Solo 2 at the moment and although it does the job I’ve always found it an unsatisfying draw, pulling on it like a milkshake and never really getting much visible vapour and not getting as medicated as the quality of weed would suggest I should.
I have finally knocked out the glass shelf in the tube thinking that it would give much better air flow and a much easier draw but I didn’t find it much of an improvement.
I make my own oil and tinctures but on occasion I just want to get instantly and utterly blasted and will, depending on recs from anyone with good knowledge of the Venty and Solo 3 v2, get a new vape.

I have a couple of batteries for carts (the Paso which just makes me cough even in the lowest voltage, and the Davinci Artiq which I like a great deal and which gives great hits, but nevertheless carts just don’t hit hard enough. The Sourdough and EHD carts are ok but I find the effects short lived and not as deep a stone as from vaped flower, so I’m considering either the Venty because of the adjustable airflow or the Solo 3 because the reviews say airflow and hits are much improved compared to the Solo 2.
Anybody with good knowledge of both.
Thanks in advance.
 
solo2. make sure them holes are clean in the stems. i tend to find blowing one end whilst poking other with a needle clears it

an iso wipe of bowl cold, 2 full hot cycles, and repeat again. also whilst hot blow through the flower on the rear to remove any clogging

sometimes just pulling the stem slightly up once its nestled in will alter flow and also remember not to hold over the flower on the rear

also set chamber to 190/200, place stem in bowl filled up to halfway point and packed but not mushed, once it hits temp, place on a table on the base and wait at least 1 minute before your 1st inhale. 1st may be whispers but 2nd one will rip

Solo3 for me is a massive step up. totally different hit and flavour. only bought as my solo2 screen broke otherwise it was a beast. to start with couldnt justify the extra cost but now i have it, i honestly see why its more

Thanks a lot for the input. I’ve had the 2 for a few years. Time for an upgrade I think.
 
I have tried both, as long as you pack the bowl loosely in solo 3 and grind coarse. I have Santa Cruz shredder ) the draw is fine, I had to sell my venty as I was using twice the weed to feel a hit still weaker than solo 3

Aha, thanks, I’m leaning back towards the Solo 3 v2.
Would be nice if places would let you try before you buy. There’s a place (far away) in Newport that rents devices including the Venty but I don’t know of any similar lounges near London.

I didn’t know about that place, brilliant idea

Think about the reason you have stayed so long with the solo2
Easy to clean
Solid
Stem milk
Solid battery and battery life

You will notice the improvement in air flow on the word go to be fair.

I've not been disappointed with my purchase to be honest
