Our Take on Arizer
Average score across these models: 8.2/10
Arizer builds the best-tasting vapes for the money, and the glass loading stem is why: your cannabis sits in glass, you load it without touching the oven and you clean it by soaking the stem. The Solo 3 is our pick for most people, with session and on-demand modes and a range of 50-220°C (122-428°F). The XQ2 is our desktop pick for balloons and whips. If you want to spend less, take the Solo 2 Max. If you want a swappable battery, take the Air Max.
- Removable glass loading tubes give clean flavor and easy cleaning
- Four scored models from a $219 US list price, all rated 8.0 to 8.4
- User-replaceable batteries on Air models reduce charging downtime
- App-free controls across the range
- XQ2 runs balloons or a whip from one base
- Some designs feel dated beside newer competitors
- Glass stems can break if dropped
- The Solo draw is tighter than on most portables, so take slow pulls

About Arizer
Arizer was established in 2005 and is based in Ontario, Canada. Its focus on glass aroma tubes and controls that work without an app has shaped the brand's identity. Arizer is a Canadian company, but the original Solo 3 manual identifies Canadian design and Chinese manufacture.
The Solo line uses a glass tube as both the loading bowl and mouthpiece. Air models add user-replaceable batteries, while the older ArGo brought that approach to a smaller body. The Solo 3 heats with a convection and conduction hybrid, and it is the first Solo with both session and on-demand modes. The current version is 2.0.
On the desktop side, the XQ2 replaced the Extreme Q and runs balloons or a whip from one base. Its glass bowl lifts out for cleaning. The XQ2 suits buyers who want controls and accessories over a luxury finish.
Pick by how you use it. On the couch, the Solo 3 heats up in 15 seconds and lasts 13 sessions per charge. For all-glass flavor for less, the Solo 2 Max lasts 15 sessions. In a bag, the Air Max is the lightest at 160 g, and its battery swaps out. At home with friends, the XQ2 runs balloons or a whip up to 260°C (500°F).
