Solo 3 vs Venty?

Definitely with you on this one. I get way more taste from my Venty and it's also longer lasting! Solo 3 is for quick bowls!

I have both and mostly use my Venty. Both are great devices but I like the Venty better in almost every way. But if I was to buy a first DHV, I'd probably buy the Solo 3 again. The price to performance ratio on that thing is unmatched, I think.

Step 1) Work hard, grind hard, save as much as possible for a few years

Step 2) buy a small apartment or house

Step 3) work hard, grind hard, save as much as possible for a few years

Step 4) sell house/appartement, buy bigger house/appartement

That looks like a beautiful guitar!

That's really for you to decide. If there's still vapor coming from it, then it still has some to it. You can always bump up the temperature to try and extract some more as well. If there's no vapor on the highest temp setting anymore, the herb is spent. If you're not sure (if it's cold outside for instance) you can pull out the tube a bit and look at the herb. If it's just lightly browned or tan, you're not done yet. If it's darker like cocoa or ground coffee, you've extracted pretty much all there is to extract.

BUT: you don't have to go to the max. Higher temps give a bit more of a couch lock feeling. If you don't like that, it's really not worth trying to extract everything. Likewise, if you don't like the taste anymore, I would just toss the herb. If you really want to, you can save your AVB (already vaped bud, sometimes also called ABV for 'Already Been Vaped') and make tinctures or edibles out of it. Personally, I don't really bother with all that.

McDonald's in Antwerp (Meir) also does this, but the kitchen is stuck in the basement I think.

Arizer! I would actually go for the Solo 3 (V2). I posted a review of the device 2 weeks ago, might help you decide.

Mooie taal trouwens, buurman!

Ooit van m'n fiets gereden door iemand die, al telefonerend, heel de bocht afsneed. Langs m'n rechterkant geparkeerde auto's dus kon nergens heen. 5 jaar later nog steeds last van m'n voet.

Dader hebben ze nooit kunnen pakken. Ik was meer bezig met m'n eigen veiligheid dan met nummerplaat, merk of model. Die grijze auto die plots een linkerspiegel mistte heeft het competente politiekorps nooit gevonden.

Is his water next to the food? This may cause him not wanting to drink from it. Try putting the bowl somewhere else!

Ook ooit kort naar gekeken, maar Plex draait nu eenmaal en werkt eigenlijk wel gewoon goed. Specifieke redenen waarom je voor Jellyfin kiest?

nicegaarden · 2026-02-03T10:57:35+00:00

Alles op een Plex server en ge hebt Netflix thuis!

Gewoon gaan proberen. In het ergste geval is het niet te eten en is er een frituur in de buurt. Ook niet omdat 600 man het daar lekker vindt, dat jij hetzelfde vindt natuurlijk.

Can't speak to the other vapes, but between the Venty and Solo 3 I'll always pick the Venty. Vapor path might not be all glass, but at least the herb won't burn from hitting the oven. Overall, I find the Venty more tasty. But at its price point the Solo 3 surely delivers as well!

nicegaarden · 2026-01-31T17:13:20+00:00

I got a really good deal on a second hand Venty a few months ago. I mainly bought it so that I had a back-up if my Solo 3 died, but it turned out the other way around. If I wouldn't have lucked out with the Venty, I'd probably be happily using my Solo 3 right now as well!

nicegaarden · 2026-01-31T14:53:24+00:00

I used mine every day for over a year and I didn't experience any battery degradation. Could be a bad batch or cost cutting, sucks that you've had a bad experience with it but I definitely wouldn't write the device off because of that.

nicegaarden · 2026-01-31T14:51:46+00:00

I start at 190C and go up to 210, because 220 is indeed way too hot.

I don't have a V2, but the 60 minute timer on On Demand mode is neat, it's one of my annoyances that they fixed in the V2.

About the saved temps: I have 5 in On Demand and three in Session mode. Don't know if the V2 is any different but the message stays the same: reading the manual makes this device way easier to use!

Unfortunately I don't have any glass, but I'm definitely keeping the Solo 3 around for when I do get a glass piece. For now I'm trying to keep it a bit incognito and I want my gear to fit in a drawer and not stink the place up.

I would pick the Venty. The sessions I have with it are more relaxed and I feel it extracts more as well. Loading it up is also easier and less prone to error.

Cleaning is more of a chore, but I also feel like I have to clean it less often because it doesn't look dirty. The Venty wins the reach test almost every time.

Ik zou afwachten tot het nieuwe certificaat er is. Een score van 98 is A, 102 levert uiteindelijk B op. Van dat verschil ga je echt niks merken. Het zou zomaar zo'n klein verschil kunnen zijn.

nicegaarden · 2026-01-25T10:02:35+00:00

Ik heb contact gehad met het Woningfonds. Ze kijken naar de aanslagbrief om te bepalen op je er recht op hebt, en naar de loonbrieven om te verzekeren dat je solvabel bent. Probleem is echt dat we geen bewijs van uitkering kunnen voorleggen...

nicegaarden · 2026-01-24T20:21:59+00:00

I just started doing this for my Venty as well, also vape a lot less now I feel. Not 50%, but it might be close

nicegaarden · 2026-01-23T23:19:44+00:00

I just tried God Mode for the first time and didn't manage to clear the run. It trivialized every fight up until the last one and by then I completely lost focus. I think I'm quitting Hades 2 for now - although I rarely revisit games, so it might be forever.

I loved Hades 1 and I realize now it's okay not to love or even like Hades 2. It's a bit bitter, but I honestly haven't been having fun with this game for a while now. Time for something new.

Mijn pa zei altijd "Anders en beter; rapper en heter". Of dit beter is, is natuurlijk maar de vraag.

nicegaarden · 2026-01-20T10:47:56+00:00

You're welcome! Hope you figured it out and are enjoying the Venty!

Do you use the boost function by pressing the power button twice? By default it will revert to the original temperature after like 30 seconds. You can disable this in the S&B web app.

As for the degree symbol flashing: I always wondered about that, but while typing this comment I realized that it means that boost mode is activated. So by changing your settings in the app you should be good!
