Initial Setup
Step 1 — Charge the Battery
Connect the USB-C cable and charge fully (approximately 2-3 hours). The OLED display will show battery status.
Step 2 — Burn-Off
Before first use, power on the device at maximum temperature with no herbs loaded. Let it run for 10-15 minutes to eliminate any factory residue or odors.
Step 3 — Load the Glass Stem
Grind herbs to a medium consistency. Dip the end of the glass stem into your ground herbs and press gently to pack. The stem doubles as your loading tool and mouthpiece.

How to Use
Power On: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The OLED display shows the target and current temperature.
Insert the Glass Stem: Place the loaded glass stem into the heating chamber on top of the device. Push gently until snug.
Wait for Heat-Up: Allow 30-60 seconds for the device to reach your set temperature. The display will indicate when ready.
Draw: Inhale slowly through the glass stem. The convection system passes hot air through your herbs on demand, producing vapor only when you draw.

Step-Up Temperature Technique
This technique is the hallmark of the Arizer experience, extracting every compound from your herbs in stages:
| Round | Temperature | Duration | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 180°C / 356°F | 3-4 minutes | Rich flavor, high terpenes, light vapor |
| 2 | 190°C / 374°F | 3-4 minutes | Balanced flavor and vapor density |
| 3 | 200°C / 392°F | 3-4 minutes | Thicker clouds, deeper extraction |
| 4 | 210°C+ / 410°F+ | 2-3 minutes | Full extraction, dense vapor |
---
Isolated Airpath
The Solo 3 features a fully isolated airpath. The air you inhale passes only through the heater and glass stem, never contacting internal electronics or the battery. This design ensures clean, pure vapor with no off-gassing.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Glass Stem (every 3-5 sessions):
1. Soak the glass stem in Isopropyl Alcohol (91%+) for 15-30 minutes
2. Use a small brush to scrub the interior
3. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly
Device body:
- Use an alcohol-dipped cotton swab to clean the stem chamber
- Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth
- Never apply water directly to the device

Expert Tips
- Medium grind, not too fine — Convection heating works best when air flows freely through the herbs.
- Do not over-pack — Leave space for hot air to circulate through the material.
- Use the curved glass stem — It cools the vapor before it reaches your mouth for a smoother draw.
- Step-Up Temperature — Increase by 10°C every 3 minutes for the optimal balance of flavor and extraction.
- USB-C pass-through charging — You can charge and use the device simultaneously for uninterrupted sessions.
