Solo III v2.0 vs XQ2 — Desktop Power vs Mobile Innovation
Published Date: September 21, 2025

Two Titans. Two Experiences.
If you’re comparing Arizer’s most advanced portable with our top-tier desktop, you’re not alone. The Solo III v2.0 and XQ2 represent two peaks of performance—each designed for different session styles. The question isn’t which is better, but which suits your flow.
“I reach for the XQ2 when I want to wind down at home—but the Solo III goes everywhere else with me.”
The Case for Desktop Dominance
The XQ2 is our most feature-rich desktop. It offers:
- Balloon and whip compatibility
- Refined multi-color Base & Heater LEDs
- Glass Connoisseur Bowl
- Remote control and full-spectrum temperature settings
It’s the ideal choice for group sessions, longer experiences, and home-based rituals where power and airflow consistency matter most.
Solo III v2.0: Power That Moves
The Solo III v2.0 brings that performance ethos into a portable form:
- On-Demand + Session Modes
- 10–15 second heat-up
- All-glass vapor path with XL tubes
- USB-C PD Universal charging
It’s not trying to replace the XQ2—it’s for moments where movement matters. Whether stepping outside or hitting the road, you don’t have to leave dense, flavorful vapor behind.
“Feels like desktop clouds in the palm of my hand. It’s everything I wanted in a portable.”

Final Thoughts: Why Not Both?
If you already love your XQ2, the Solo III v2.0 is the perfect complement. If you’re new to the Arizer family and torn between desktop and portable, think about where—and how—you vape most.
Whether you’re after ritual or agility, both devices deliver signature Arizer flavor and control. Just in different ways.
