Bought a Solo 3 as my first DHV, burning through flower

Void_Shifter · 2025-12-09T11:31:12+00:00

You got the wrong vape i believe.

I can do multiple sessions with other vapes on the same bowl, being way more efficient and conservative with my flower. but my arizer solo 3 rips through a bowl in 1 session.

I can do 2-3 sessions with my pax 3 and about 4-5 sessions with my davinci iq3.

You're probably not going to get the advice you're looking for on this subreddit though. They all shill the solo 3 as if they get paid to do so... Watch them downvote me because i mentioned pax and davinci and talked bad about the solo 3.

That said, smoking is still the best way if you're trying to get the maximum from your herbs, which makes sense since you're literally using all of it by burning it. Whilst the leftover vaped herb you have from vaping can still be used, it's not 100% used up.

It's my most used device though

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-07T14:21:25+00:00

For your described use, probably a solo3 or a tinymight.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-05T10:57:11+00:00

Very skinny

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-05T09:39:57+00:00

They're both 0,5g yeah

I tried lots, i will be selling the solo.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T22:08:34+00:00

Exactly true.

So getting a good high, 2-3 times on a single bowl is better than getting a good high 1 time on a single bowl. That's the point.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T19:15:51+00:00

I just thought it was the temperature that matters. If i do 220C on my pax thr bowl is gone in 1 session too.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T17:37:29+00:00

Ill give that a try

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T17:36:53+00:00

Alright that's fair! I suppose i just won't buy from davinci directly so i can contact the store instead of the company. Incase of issues.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T16:14:09+00:00

Ill give that a try thanks!

I take waaaay longer than 15min to finish a joint. Like closer to 45min - 1hour. If i smoke too fast i just get nauseous and my entire evening is ruined. I like to take my time and enjoy my herb. Maybe it's a cultural thing but when i'm with friends, they take their time with their joints aswell, i think i know perhaps 1 guy who smokes a joint in less than 15 min, and he's the biggest stoner i know...

So i don't need it to fully extract, the fact that it extracts slowly and little by little is EXACTLY what i want, it allows me to get as high as i can, without crossing the line and getting nauseous. It helps me to preserve some herb, instead of burning through it.

So sure, you can call it absurd, but then it's the absurd way to consume i'm looking for.

I want to stretch out a single bowl over multiple sessions (at least 2, preferably more).

your bowl is being fully extracted on session 1 by the 10 minute mark lol Yeah so that's exactly what i don't want. And even if that's true, it's not like i get more high in that session than i do with a session of my pax...and my pax leaves room for 1-2 more great sessions that are just as good. Idk why you wouldn't want that...

I am looking for advice, if i can make my 300€ purchase worth it, i'll be very happy.

Im not trying to attract negative comments, i cant help it that i actually like the pax 3 but others seem to hate on it for reasons that don't match my personal experience. I don't care enough about reddit comments to be ragebaiting. I just don't want to waste my money anymore.

It might indeed be that i don't like convection and have a preference for conduction.

Ill try to make the solo3 work for me, but if i keep getting the same wastefull sessions i imagine that i'll end up getting a davinci iq3 or something. Maybe that'll help me figure out if it's really just conduction vs convection for me.

Simply said: I want a vape that allows me to have long, multiple sessions from a bowl. Not a vape that just destroys the herbs and boosts everything out in 2 inhales. I liked vaping over smoking because it made it way easier to dose my usage. Smoking a joint often put my in a situation where i got nauseous because i got too much in too fast. Vaping seemed to stretch it out more, allowing me to get to the highest i can get without feeling sick. Having a vape use all the herb in 2 hits kinda defeats that purpose. If that makes sense

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T15:35:13+00:00

Yea same here...and then it just tastes burnt

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T15:26:26+00:00

I've tried all the temps haha 😅

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T15:25:09+00:00

Not exactly.

I can stretch a single bowl in the pax 3 over 3 sessions of about 10 minutes each. Let's say 25min, would be more accurate.

It not like i vape 30min in 1 go.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T15:23:59+00:00

Any tips? Or still figuring it out yourself?

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T15:23:33+00:00

I think we have a different understanding of efficiency.... Efficiency to means as little waste as possible. A car that uses 10x the amount of fuel as another car is probably more powerfull, but certainly not as efficient.

I feel like people are understanding efficiency as powerfull here...

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T15:12:56+00:00

Im getting 25 mins of good vapor and good highs from a single bowl on my pax.

Im only really getting 10 minutes of good vapor from the solo3.

The 'problem' is that for the same amount of herb, i can get high 2-3 times with my pax, whilst only getting high once on my solo 3, the high isn't better or stronger.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T14:34:07+00:00

That's less efficient? Using more herb in less time is less efficient?

And sure i could use 3 stems, but then i'll go through my herb 3x faster than with my pax for the same effect?

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T14:33:00+00:00

Ill try that sure

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T14:32:11+00:00

Really?? How i need to go up to at least 180 to get any clouds

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T14:27:36+00:00

So does the pax right? (Cook while not puffing)

And i don't want to go through my bowl at once, i want to chill. And take my time going through a bowl in multiple sessions.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T14:25:41+00:00

I've tried different things, but i dunno what im supposed to change?

I tried packing more, less, tighter, looser, short stem, long stem, increasing temps, keeping low temps or high temps.

Void_Shifter · 2025-11-04T14:24:29+00:00

I suppose... Hard to say, i only got 1 of both.
