The XL Rocket Stem for the Arizer Solo 3 provides the most vapor cooling and particle filtration available. We had these made to serve as an upgrade over any other cooling stem currently available. They consist of a Borosilicate glass body, filled with soft glass coloured balls. They're a bit chunky (see second photo) but they do a great job!
We only have XL Chamber variants since we've found that when using the small chambers the herb sits too close to the heater, making it harder to avoid charring. For microdosing we suggest loading a little in and tamping it gently so that the herb sits higher up in the chamber. This preserves flavour and reduces the likelihood of accidental charring.
Includes
- 1 x XL Rocket Stem for Solo 3
- Borosilicate Glass Stem with Borosilicate Glass Balls
- XL Herb Chamber (up to approx. 0.3g)
- SS304 Stainless Steel Mesh Screen (pictured) or 5 Hole Glass Screen
- Also compatible with the Solo 2, Solo 2 Max, Arizer Air and Air MAX (though is best with the Solo 3 due to the larger chamber size)
Screens
Available with two different screen options; we've made some with mesh screens and some with glass screens like the original. The mesh screen variants provide more airflow and don't choke up like the glass ones do if you pack them heavily and tamp, while the glass screen variants are much the same as the originals in terms of airflow and function but with the benefit of additional vapor cooling. For those of you who'd like to keep any metal out of the vapor pathway the glass screen versions are the way to go, if you don't mind a mesh screen then we'd suggest this version as they require less unclogging and the screens can simply be switched out and/or torch cleaned when they get dirty. Mesh screens are available here.
These stems are also compatible with the Terpcicle Screens which are dome shaped mesh and stay in place even better. If used with the glass screen stems they reduce the capacity slightly, if used with the mesh screen stems they can be pushed further in and actually increase the herb capacity. They are however not compatible with the Dosing Capsules we have available.
Cleaning
To clean the stem simply soak it in ISO overnight, then rinse it through with hot water. We use the Super Soaker Cleaning Container since these make it easy to soak, then pour your ISO back into its container. It also makes rinsing them with hot water easier as you can gently swish it around inside without burning your hands or having to hold the stem while pouring hot water through it!
