Arizer Solo 2 vs Arizer Air 2 - Pete's Pick

The Solo 2 features a huge built-in battery that charges via a proprietary charger rather than USB, which isn’t ideal. This means the battery isn’t user replaceable, although the battery is a massive 3400mAh which will get you through many sessions.

The Air 2 is powered by a single removable 18650 battery, and it charges via micro USB. Having a removable battery is nice as it means you can just swap in a new battery to give you brand new device performance at any time or when your device is dead.

Overall the battery situation is better with the Air 2 because it’s removable and charges via micro USB. The Solo 2 is no slouch with the extra long life of its huge battery though.

The ease-of-use is very similar for both of them, they are extremely easy to use and great choices for beginners. Both the Air 2 and Solo 2 use the same glass stem system which is easy to load and clean, and they produce an ample amount of vapour, just inhale long and slow for best results. The controls are simple and logically thought out, but in general you won’t need to use them much other than to adjust the temperature.

In this category I would say the edge goes to the Solo 2 because it’s a larger device, which means it has a larger screen and buttons which are easier to press with your thumb.

The vapour quality is excellent from both of these devices, you get a super pure and terpy flavour, which is really smooth when the temperature is set to around 370°F. Thanks to the convection heating you get a nice strong extraction, and when you inhale properly with high-quality flower you can get some huge cloud production.

Although the Solo 2 is bigger and beefier, you get virtually identical results with both devices.

My favourite thing about the Arizer Solo 2 is the reliability. This is a tried and tested device, it’s built like a tank, and it has a massive battery. If you’re looking for an electronic portable vaporizer that you can safely place your confidence in, this is definitely a great option.

What I like most about the Arizer Air 2 is the portability. It’s a significantly smaller and lighter device, but it gives a virtually identical experience extraction wise. It’s also much easier to use on the go because of the removable battery and micro USB charging.

So what is Pete’s Pick? Which would I decide on between these two devices? My personal choice is the Arizer Solo 2. I prefer the all-metal build over the plastic top of the Air 2, and I don’t value portability so much because I do the majority of my vaping at home or in places that have a power outlet within reach. Regardless, the Solo 2 has such a huge battery for a portable that you’re going to get a ton of sessions before you need to recharge anyway.

I think whichever vaporizer you select out of the two you’re going to be pretty happy. I would recommend the Air 2 for anyone more concerned about a high quality extraction in a light portable device with more battery charging options. I recommend the Solo 2 for anyone who wants a super reliable, easy-to-use device, with a massive battery that will last for a lot of sessions before you need to think about charging.
