Arizer Air Portable Vaporizer

This is a very low maintenance device, perfect for someone who wants great performance without a lot of work. To clean your stems, simply soak them in isopropyl alcohol, shaking the container occasionally. Some people soak their stems in warm milk to dissolve the activated ingredients to consume later. Either way, rinse them well with water afterwards and let them air dry.

For the heating chamber, I like to tap mine out when it’s warm as this will really reduce buildup over time. When the chamber is dry, I take a Q-Tip soaked in alcohol and clean the surfaces of the chamber, holding the device upside down so the alcohol can’t leak in. Once it’s dry, do a burn off to get rid of any residual alcohol and get vaping!

The battery power is supplied by a standard 18650 battery, common in many devices. Overall the battery life is quite impressive. I tend to get 3-5 bowls per charge, with 1-2 sessions per bowl. When the battery is dead you can either charge it or just put in a fresh battery. User replaceable batteries mean it’s always easy to get that ‘new vape’ feeling back as all batteries will wear out over time.

Definitely not a speed demon, it has average heat up time. Depending on how recently it was last heated and the temperature you’re heating it to, heat up time is between 65-90 seconds. If you’re planning on having a stealth hit, turn it on when you’re on the way to your spot and it’ll be ready when you get there.

The quality of vapor from the Air is impressive. Does it rival the Crafty? No. Does it rival the Volcano? No. But it's a LOT less expensive than either of those and the vapor is still really good! The taste is quite pure, but it can get a little crispy if you're hitting it on the highest setting as it's a conduction vaporizer. You can get some large hits from it, the heater does a good job of keeping up to longer tokes. Hits are average smoothness, right on par with the Solo.

The efficiency of the Arizer Air is great, you’ll be amazed by how much vapor you can produce with a tiny amount of herb. For best results grind fine (Magic Flight Finishing Grinder is your friend) and don’t pack too tight or loose. If you’re hitting multiple sessions per bowl, give it a little stir between sessions and you’ll be sure to harvest all of the available vapor from your material.

A lot more portable than the Solo and has a much easier to hide shape and profile. However once the glass stem is attached it becomes pretty obvious what it is. Good for taking out and about but not super stealthy.

The effects are about average, certainly adequate but they don’t stand out either. Use good material and take as many draws as needed to get the desired effects.
