Arizer Go SRT

Great device! Falls a little short of the Solo III v2 but its pretty good!

I’m a few days into testing out the Go SRT. The build quality is excellent and it’s decently pocketable. The new menu system and presets work pretty well.

With the standard stem, it’s the classic Arizer experience. I’d guess it’s about 75% as powerful as the Solo 3 v2 and easily twice as powerful as the original Go. But with that extra power, why keep the slim Go stem? A wider Solo style stem would have been excellent.

And then there’s the capsules. Man, I just don’t understand what they were thinking. The screen just sits in there, with absolutely nothing but gravity keeping it in place. It also seems like they are somehow way less able to keep herb elevated and away from the oven (maybe it’s the piece of metal on top?!) so I’ve combusted several times already. Just a terrible experience.

Sneaky Pete of course made some all glass capsules so I ordered those. I hope they’ll be an improvement, but why the heck didn’t Arizer just make them all glass to begin with?

Even the capsule puck case is finicky with very little space to grip anything (and the aforementioned gravitational forces).

I think Arizer is going to have to go back to the drawing board on this one. The powerful heater and dinky stem is an odd marriage. And abandoning their signature all glass path for these flimsy ass screens is just dumb.

I agree that the screens can be a pita. But the trade off is air flow. I was surprised at how much more open the dosing capsules were compared to the OG stem with a glass screen (especially good with the wpa). The market will eventually tell them which feature is more important!

Yeah they’re good through water, no doubt. I just think the purpose of capsules is to take them out of the house and they are not ready for that.

I use the pods for airflow personally but they are fiddly af

The fiddlyness of the Capsules is not a serious Problem for me.

I was surprised how big and heavy the Vape was when it arrived. But now i think that the big Engine inside need that big housing.

It seems like this Time my vape honeymoon will last longer than the few last ones because I find this vape extremly tasty! The poor Airflow is managable for me.

One thing i found annoying was that it needs two clicks to start the Engine after choosing the Session. Why not a Single Click?

Even if the metal screens crimped down snuggly, I wouldnt complain too much but they arent even pressure fit.

What ive been doing is sticking whole nugs in there and removing the screens all together. Ive used the whole nug technique on the arizers since the beginning and it works extra well for the go srt capsules because I dont have to worry about the screen falling into my abv jar.

this is the technique i use with the SRT pods as well. whole nug/chunks taste great while keeping the airflow open without a screen

Unfortunately, I managed to get an Error 04 from my Device.

I think I let the Device on Standby in the Evening, thinking it will go off by Timeout. But as it will not start yesterday, I opened the Battery ‘Door’ and measured the Voltage of the Battery, it was about 2,5V.

It was a 21700 Cell, but not a Standart one but one with two srewable Posts on the lower Side. So I gave the Cell a little charging with an external Power Source (only 20 mAh were sufficient) and then start the Charging via USB. The Device shows an empty Battery by the Bar Meter but 43% Charge Level.

As the Charge progresses the charge Meter begin to show correct Values and now I am finishing the full Charge. I have used the Eco Charge permanently but now i flip to full Charge, looking if this behaviour will provoke Problems too. But I will put Off the Device from now on when ending my Sessions.

@DrShoe - I would contact Arizer now. I have never dealt with Arizer customer service, but I’ve been told it’s good, and battery issues are one of the more common device killers. Replace it now so you can more likely enjoy it later.

Thought about that, but then i was to curious what the cell looks like.

Next Time that happens i will contact my german reseller, but i do not think that there is something wrong with just my device and in the Moment I do not want the device to left my house :wink:

I would report the error to Arizer and see if they have any concerns.

Thats a good Idea, I contacted the European Support. I let you know what they have to say.

The Service from Arizer wrote, they say that the strongly recommend not to Service the Device myself, if the Issue happens again to return the Device and they please me to continue monitoring the Device over the next few charging Cycles.

So I have an eye on the charging Meter that looks okay today.

Hats off for the friendly and prompt response—that is what good service should look like!

Thanks for hitting them up and reporting back…battery failures scare me and I don’t fuck around with that!

anyone still using their SRT?

I’m revamping my best vapes list and initially had planned on putting the SRT Go on their as the best capsule vape, but now the Flaske is taking that cake.

SRT is still more flavorful, but the interface is awfully clunky

Is the SRT Go better than the solo 3? cause imo the solo 3 is really not that great.

I love vapes with dosing caps and i know you can get small caps that fit in the solo 3 stem but I have them and they are so not good

Im not sure where I rank that one I might have to revisit it at some point and give it another chance. Right now its not one I view fondly at all

Haven’t touched it in two months.

Still my GoTo Vape. I really like the tastiness although I have to readjust my hitting behaviour because of the relatively tight draw.

I use the Puck, too.

My Unit still works fine, i could not manage to get another E4. But I find out that the Unit has Problems with insufficient power Adapters, specially with one (2A) that could not charge the empty Unit and provoke strange behaviour of the Screen when connecting.
