Only devices with a serial number starting with “M3B1G5, M3F4G6, M35C43, M3PN54, M3SR42, M38G53, M3G576, M3C121” are affected (sold 05/2025 to 01/2026). Newer units are unaffected.
Affected devices are replaced free of charge by the manufacturer. Check the serial number on the bottom of the device.

Arizer now lists the Solo III as “v 2.0". The manufacturer has not disclosed what changed between the first version and the revision: there is no comparison, no updated specification list and no indication that any components were replaced. We therefore list the V1 as a separate data record so that offers for the older version are not mixed with those for the current one — and we do not attribute specifications to it that have only been confirmed for the v2.0.
The Solo III range's heating system
Arizer describes the Solo III range as predominantly convection-based: most of the heat is transferred by the air flowing through it, with a smaller proportion transferred through direct contact with the chamber wall. Convection is considered gentler because the material does not remain on a hot surface continuously. Whether the design differs between V1 and v2.0 has not been documented.
Session mode and On Demand
The range offers two operating modes. In Session mode, the device maintains the temperature for a set period — suitable when several draws are planned in succession. In On-Demand mode, it heats only for an individual draw, conserving material and battery power when there are longer pauses between draws. Switching between the two modes is the most important operating step on the device.
Glass in the vapor path
The Solo directs the vapor through a glass aroma tube that also serves as the mouthpiece. Glass does not retain flavors and can be soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Arizer supplies the tubes in several lengths; longer versions cool the vapor more as it travels to the mouth. The tubes are consumable parts and can be purchased separately.
What to consider when buying second-hand
Because the V1 is no longer produced, many offers come from remaining stock or the second-hand market. Useful questions include: How many charging cycles has the battery completed, are the glass tubes undamaged, and is the charger included? The price history on this page helps you assess whether an offer falls within the usual range.
Arizer has not documented a single difference between the Solo 3 V1 and v2.0: there is neither a comparison nor an updated specification list. The only confirmed fact is that the manufacturer now lists the model as “v 2.0". We therefore do not attribute specifications to the V1 that have only been documented for the v2.0.
The V1 is worthwhile if the price difference compared with the v2.0 is large enough. Because the differences between the versions have not been documented, the added value of the newer version cannot be quantified — if the price difference is small, there is little reason to choose the older version; if it is large, there is little reason not to, provided the battery condition and accessories are satisfactory.
Yes, the Solo 3 works predominantly through convection. Arizer describes the range as predominantly convection-based, with a smaller conduction component. Most of the heat is therefore transferred by the air flowing through it.
The difference between Session and On Demand lies in the heating duration: in Session mode, the device maintains the temperature for a set period, while in On-Demand mode it heats only for an individual draw. On Demand conserves material and battery power when there are longer pauses between draws.
Yes, the v2.0 glass aroma tubes can generally also be used with the V1 because they belong to the entire Solo range. As Arizer has not documented the differences between the versions, when buying replacement parts it is advisable to check the dimensions of the individual part rather than the model designation.
The Solo 3 is cleaned in two steps: the glass tube can be soaked in isopropyl alcohol, while residue is removed from the chamber with a brush. The electronics and battery must remain dry — liquid should only come into contact with the removable glass parts.
The Solo 3 V1 is now mainly available from the remaining stock of individual retailers. You can see which shops currently stock this version and at what price in the price table on this page.
