A True Alternative to Desktops? Solo III v2.0 Makes the Case.
Published Date: September 21, 2025

Rethinking Power and Portability
When it comes to desktop vaporization, Arizer has long led the charge with a powerful trio: the XQ2, Extreme Q, and V-Tower. Each offers a unique approach to full-spectrum, flavor-rich sessions:
- XQ2 is our flagship, top-tier desktop featuring balloon and whip modes, aromatherapy functionality, and full remote control.
- Extreme Q delivers mid-tier versatility with the same balloon and whip capability, aromatherapy, and remote features at a more accessible price.
- V-Tower is our entry model, focused on simple, whip-only operation and aromatherapy—but no balloon system or remote control.
These desktops shine in stationary, extended-use scenarios. But what about when life calls for movement, spontaneity, or stealth?
That’s where the Solo III v2.0 steps in.
“I love my XQ2, but now I get a taste of that power on the go with my Solo III.”
What Makes Desktop Vapor Unique?
Let’s be clear: our desktop vaporizers weren’t built to compete with portables. They’re designed for:
- Extended sessions at home
- Consistent power from a wall plug
- Assisted or balloon draw for larger groups
- Precise aromatherapy use
With these tools, you can create immersive, multi-user experiences or relax into a full evening session with total temperature control.
But what if you want some of that power—without the plug?
Solo III v2.0: Desktop Power, Portable Form
Our most advanced dry herb vape, the Solo III v2.0, brings a lot of that same intensity into a travel-ready design:
- Dual Modes (Session + On-Demand)
- Rapid Tier performance on the V Scale
- 10–15 second heat-up
- XL glass tubes for longer sessions
- All-glass vapor path for pure flavor
- WPA compatibility for water-cooled hits
“I never expected a portable to hit like this. It doesn’t replace my desktop—it gives me more ways to enjoy vapor.”
Compare the Specs: Desktop vs Portable


V Scale Performance: Solo III’s Edge
Thanks to its hybrid heating and rapid response time, the Solo III v2.0 lives in the Fast and Rapid Tiers of the Arizer V Scale. It offers instant draw readiness, large output volume, and customizable temperature profiles.
No waiting. No restrictions. Just pure, portable performance.
“The Solo III gives me freedom. I still love my V-Tower for evenings—but now I’ve got real power in my hand.”

When to Use Desktop vs Portable
Each model in the Ariz er lineup has its moment:
- Use XQ2 when you want ultimate flexibility and remote control
- Fire up the Extreme Q for value-packed balloon/whip versatility
- Keep the V-Tower on hand for straightforward, plug-in performance
- Grab the Solo III v2.0 when you want freedom, speed, and desktop-level clouds—anywhere
None replace each other. They work together to support every type of session.
“With Solo III, I’m not giving up anything—I’m just adding more ways to enjoy what I already love.”
Final Thoughts: Add to Your Setup, Don’t Replace It
Arizer doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why our desktops and portables are built to complement—not compete with—each other.
The Solo III v2.0 doesn’t replace the XQ2, Extreme Q, or V-Tower. It adds a new level of mobility and customization to the Arizer experience you already trust.
Because sometimes you want the ritual. And sometimes, you want the rush.
