The Best Arizer Solo 3 Accessories: XL Aroma Tubes, Water Pipe Glass, Batteries, Cases and Spares for the Solo 3 and Air Max

Arizer has sold the same idea since the original Solo: a heater with a hole in the top, and a glass tube that is bowl, vapor path, and mouthpiece all at once. Because the tube does everything, almost every accessory for the Solo 3 and the Air Max is either a different tube, something that carries a tube, or something that keeps the heater running. That makes this ecosystem smaller than DynaVap's or Storz and Bickel's, but also cheaper and more cross-compatible: a $14.99 tube bought for a Solo 2 in 2018 still drops straight into a Solo 3 bought this week.

This guide covers the Solo 3 and the Air Max together because they share the same tube socket, the same 14mm frosted glass water pipe adapter, and the same accessory shelf at arizer.com, and it explains what carries over from the Solo 2, Solo 2 Max, Air SE, and ArGo and what does not. Prices were checked at the time of writing, September 2026, at Arizer's own US store (which covers the tariffs itself, so the listed price is the delivered price), To The Cloud, Headshop.com, The Stash Shack, and Slick Vapes. If you have not yet put an Arizer through a bubbler, read our guide to vaping with a water pipe first, because the frosted tube is the single accessory that changes these devices most.

Note: Arizer is running a voluntary safety recall on some Solo 3 units. It covers Intergalactic Black Solo III devices sold or replaced under warranty after May 29, 2025, whose serial number begins with M3B1G5, M3F4G6, M35C43, M3PN54, M3SR42, M38G53, M3G576, or M3C121, after a small number of battery venting or ignition reports. Sea of Green units and other serial ranges are not affected. Arizer replaces eligible devices with a new Solo 3 once you complete the form at arizer.com/recall and disable the old unit. A separate recall replaces Solo 2 devices bought between June 1, 2024 and July 29, 2025 with a free Solo 2 Max. Check your serial number on the base of the device before you spend money on accessories for a unit that Arizer wants back.

How Arizer's Glass Pod System Fits Together

Everything is easier once you understand that an Arizer portable has two parts: the heater and the tube. The heater is a ceramic oven in a metal or plastic body with a battery under it. The tube is a length of borosilicate glass with a bulb at one end. You fill the bulb with herb, push it into the oven, and inhale from the other end. Arizer calls this the Glass Pod System and calls the tubes aroma tubes, because the same heater warms lavender or chamomile in a glass dish for the smell.

That layout has consequences for what you buy:

• The tube is the bowl. Capacity is set by the tube, not the heater. A standard Air / Solo tube holds roughly 0.2g to 0.25g comfortably. The XL tube that ships with the Solo 3 holds about twice that, with a wider bore for more airflow.
• The tube is the vapor path. Vapor never touches the heater body. Residue collects in glass, which is why every Arizer review on this site calls them easy to clean.
• The tube is the mouthpiece and the cooling. Length is the cooling control. The 70mm tube is short and warm, the 90mm is the default, the 110mm is noticeably cooler, and the curved tube adds distance without height.
• The tube has a screen built in. A ring of glass dimples at the bottom of the bulb keeps herb out of the oven. Arizer's own advice, printed on the screen pack listing, is that metal screens make vapor harsher and duller and that coarsely ground herb with no screen tastes best.
• The tube is the water pipe adapter. A frosted tube is the same bulb with a ground 14mm male joint instead of a plain mouthpiece. Flip the device upside down, seat the joint in a bubbler, and the Solo 3 and Air Max invert their displays so you can still read them.

Two rules cover almost every compatibility question. First, every Air / Solo aroma tube Arizer has made since the original Solo fits every Solo and Air, including the Solo 3, Solo 2 Max, Air Max, and Air SE, and Arizer's Solo 3 page says so in as many words. Second, the XL tubes are listed by Arizer for the Solo 3 only. The ArGo and the new Go SRT use their own narrower tubes and shells that do not swap with anything else.

Which accessories fit which Arizer

This table is built from the accessory lists Arizer publishes for each device, not from guesswork.

Aroma Tubes: The Accessory That Is Also the Device

Buy tubes first. Every other accessory on this page is optional; a second tube is how you use the device the way Arizer intends, with one bowl heating while another cools, and pre-loaded tubes capped in a pocket for the day. Tubes also break. They are thick borosilicate and survive more than you would expect, but the day one rolls off a table you want a spare within reach rather than a week away.

XL Glass Aroma Tube (90mm), $14.99

The XL tube is the Solo 3's headline change. The bulb is wider and deeper than the classic Air / Solo tube, which doubles the load to around half a gram and opens the airflow, and it is the tube that makes On Demand mode worthwhile, because a quick hard draw through a wide bore pulls more heat through the herb than a sip through a narrow one. Arizer ships one XL glass tube in the box and sells spares in clear, blue tint, and black tint, all at the same price. Buy at least one more so you can load two bowls before a session and swap without waiting for glass to cool.

The catch is that Arizer lists the XL tubes for the Solo 3 only. They are not in the Air Max, Solo 2 Max, or Air SE accessory lists, and the wider bulb is the reason. If you own one of those devices, the standard tubes below are your bowl. Buy the XL tube from Arizer for $14.99. Headshop.com carries the clear XL tube for $14.99 too, though its black, blue, and frosted variants were sold out when we checked.

XL Frosted Glass Aroma Tube (14mm), $19.99

The same XL bulb with a frosted 14mm male ground joint in place of the mouthpiece. This is the Solo 3's water pipe adapter and it comes in the box, so you are buying a second one either to keep one loaded and one clean, or because the first one broke. Through water, the XL bowl in On Demand mode is the closest a portable Arizer gets to a desktop-sized hit, and the Solo 3's inversion setting flips the screen when the device is hanging upside down off a bubbler. Arizer's own page calls it the Solo III 14mm adapter, and it is not listed for other devices. Buy it from Arizer for $19.99.

Air / Solo Glass Aroma Tube in 70mm, 90mm, or 110mm, $14.99

The classic tube, and the one that fits everything from the original Solo to the Solo 3. Arizer sells it in three lengths at one price, and the length is the whole decision. The 70mm is what the Air Max ships with: short, pocketable, warm on the last draws at high temperature. The 90mm is the Solo 2 and Solo 3 default and the sensible spare. The 110mm is the cooling tube; our Solo 2 review found it the answer for anyone whose draws feel warm with the shorter glass, at the cost of a device that no longer fits any belt case with the tube inserted.

For Solo 3 owners the standard tube is also the small bowl. Arizer's own advice is that if you prefer the smaller dose of the original tubes, the Solo 3 takes them, which makes a 90mm standard tube the cheapest microdosing accessory on this list. Buy from Arizer for $14.99 in any length. To The Cloud sells the Air Glass for $12.99, the short open-top tube, and notes that it works as a shorter stem in a Solo 2. Its longer Solo Glass Stem was out of stock.

Tipped Glass Aroma Tube, $14.99

A 60mm or 70mm tube with a heat-rated, BPA-free plastic tip pressed onto the mouth end. The tip does two things: it stays cool when the glass does not, and it gives the tube a narrower mouthpiece that some people find more comfortable than a bare glass opening. It is the best tube for an Air Max or Air SE used at high temperature with the short glass, where the last few draws of a session can be uncomfortably warm on the lip. The tip is replaceable for $3.99, which matters because it will eventually discolor. Plastic in the vapor path is a trade; if you bought an Arizer for the all-glass taste, choose the 110mm or curved tube instead. Buy from Arizer for $14.99 or from To The Cloud for $12.99.

Curved Glass Aroma Tube, $14.99

The curved tube bends the mouthpiece away from the device so the vapor travels further without the tube standing taller, and it puts the mouthpiece at an angle that suits sitting back with the device in your lap. It is the tube our Solo 2 review recommends for anyone who wants smoother draws without water, and Arizer now lists it for the Air SE and Air Max as well as the Solo family. It will not go into a PVC travel tube or a belt case while loaded, so it lives at home. Buy from Arizer for $14.99. To The Cloud lists a curved stem at $9.99 and Smoke Cartel a bent Solo mouthpiece at $12.99, but both were sold out at the time of writing.

Stem Cap Pack, $6.99

Four heat-safe silicone caps that press over the bulb end of any Air / Solo tube. Capped, a loaded tube is a dosing capsule you filled yourself: weigh out a dose at home, cap it, drop it in a travel tube, and swap tubes through the day without touching a grinder. The cap also covers the hot end after a session so the tube can go straight into a pocket. Both devices ship with caps (four with the Solo 3, two with the Air Max) but you lose them, they pick up lint, and a pack of four is the price of a coffee. The XL tube's wider bulb takes the same cap. Buy from Arizer for $6.99.

PVC Travel Tube with Cap, $2.49

A rigid PVC sleeve with a snap cap, sized to the tube it protects: 70mm, 90mm, 110mm, and a squat one for the glass aroma dish that doubles as a herb container. Two or four come in the box depending on the device. At $2.49 each, buy one for every tube you own plus one for herb. They are the reason our reviewers call Arizer portables manageable on the go despite the glass. Read our traveling with your vaporizer guide for the rest of the routine. Buy the 90mm size from Arizer, or the 70mm, 110mm, and aroma dish size at the same price.

Tip: Load tubes by pushing the bulb into a pile of coarsely ground herb and twisting, then tamp lightly so the herb sits below the rim of the bulb. Herb that stands proud of the glass touches the oven wall and chars. Our packing guide covers the rest; the short version for Arizer is coarse grind, light pack, no screen.

Water Pipe Glass: Frosted Tubes, Expanders, and Reducers

An Arizer through water is a different device. The draw restriction that makes a bare Solo a sipper turns into a slow, cool, dense pull that our Solo 2 review rates as one of the best reasons to own one, and the Solo 3's On Demand mode was clearly designed with a bubbler in mind. Both the Solo 3 and the Air Max ship with a frosted 14mm tube, so this section is about spares, sizes, and fit.

Air / Solo Frosted Glass Aroma Tube (14mm), $19.99

The standard-capacity frosted tube with a 14mm male joint. It fits every Solo and Air, and it is the tube to buy if you own an Air Max, Solo 2, Solo 2 Max, or Air SE and want a spare, or if you own a Solo 3 and want to run the smaller bowl through water. The bulb is inside the joint, so the herb sits in the oven while the joint seals against the pipe, and the whole device hangs off the glass. Buy from Arizer for $19.99.

The cheaper route is To The Cloud's Solo and Air Water Pipe Adapter (14mm) at $8.99, which the store lists as compatible with every version of the Solo and Air and with any 14mm female joint. It does not fit the ArGo. At less than half Arizer's price it is the one to buy as a beater for a bong you share.

Frosted Glass Expander (14 to 19), $12.99

Arizer's frosted tubes are 14mm male. Most bongs sold as 18mm are 18.8mm, which Arizer calls 19, and the expander is a frosted glass sleeve with a 14mm female socket on top and a 19mm male joint below. Seat the tube in it and it drops into an 18mm downstem. It is the single most useful adapter for anyone who already owns a full-size bong, and the frosted finish grips better than a clear adapter. Buy from Arizer for $12.99.

Frosted Glass Reducers (19 to 14, 14 to 11, 19 to 11), $12.99 each

Reducers go the other way. The 19 to 14 has a 19mm female socket and a 14mm male joint, which sounds backwards for a 14mm tube until you meet a bubbler with a 14mm female joint that is too shallow to hold the Arizer tube's full joint length, or a 19mm mouthpiece you want to convert. The 14 to 11 and 19 to 11 reducers exist for the XQ2 and Extreme Q whose balloon mouthpiece is 11mm, and they let desktop owners run the balloon mouthpiece or mini whip into small joints. For most Solo 3 and Air Max owners the expander is the one to buy and a reducer is the one to buy later when a specific piece of glass demands it. Buy the 19 to 14 reducer from Arizer, or the 14 to 11 and 19 to 11.

Bubblers made for Arizer

To The Cloud sells two pieces of glass built around the Arizer frosted tube. The Arizer Mini Bubbler, $16.99, is a palm-sized water chamber the frosted tube drops into, listed for every Solo and Air from the original to the Solo 3 and Air Max. The Arizer Sidecar Bubbler, $21.99, is the larger version with a four-slot diffuser and a side chamber, so the device stands beside the water rather than hanging over it. Both were out of stock when we checked, which happens often with this store's Arizer glass; if you want one, sign up for the restock alert rather than waiting on the page. Until then, any 14mm bubbler from our water pipe guide works with the frosted tube, and the Air Max's inverted display means you do not need a piece made for Arizer to read the temperature.

ArGo owners have a separate option: To The Cloud's 3 in 1 ArGo Water Pipe Adapter, $12.99, a third-party borosilicate adapter with a 14mm joint, which was in stock. Arizer does not make a frosted tube for the ArGo.

Tip: If the draw through water feels choked, lift the frosted tube a millimeter or two so the bulb sits slightly above the floor of the oven. Our Solo 2 review found this opens the airflow noticeably, and it works the same way on the Solo 3 and Air Max. On the Solo 3, turn the inversion setting on before you flip the device so the display reads the right way up.

Batteries and Charging: One Built In, One You Can Swap

This is where the Solo 3 and the Air Max part ways, and where the task of matching accessories to devices matters most.

The Solo 3 has a built-in battery rated for up to three hours of Session mode or more than a hundred On Demand draws per charge. It charges over USB-C with Power Delivery, supports use while charging, and Arizer does not sell a replacement cell for it. Its whole battery ecosystem is a charger and a cord. The Air Max takes a removable 26650 lithium-ion cell, which Arizer rates at up to two and a quarter hours and our Air Max review measured at over two hours in practice. It charges the cell inside the device over plain USB-C, reaching 90 percent in about two hours, and it also supports use while charging. Because the cell comes out, the Air Max is the one Arizer portable where a spare battery and an external charger turn a two-hour device into an all-day one, which is why it sits on our list of the best vaporizers with replaceable batteries. The Air SE, ArGo, Air 2, and Air run on an 18650 instead.

26650 Battery with Charge Tester, $33.99

Arizer's replacement Air Max cell ships inside a plastic case with a built-in charge tester: press the cell against the contacts and LEDs show how much is left. That solves the real problem with carrying spare cells, which is not knowing whether the one in your bag is full. The case also keeps the terminals covered, which is the safe way to carry any lithium cell. Our review's advice still stands: the included battery is fine, and a spare is for people who drain the Air Max daily or want to retire a tired cell after a couple of years rather than replace the device. Buy Arizer's own rather than a generic 26650, because the Air Max is tuned for a specific cell and the Solo 3 recall above is a reminder that battery quality is not the place to save $15. Buy from Arizer for $33.99.

26650 Battery Charger, $53.99

An external single-bay charger for the Air Max cell with a wall plug. Charging inside the device works, but it ties the device to the cable; with an external charger one cell charges on the desk while the other runs the device, and you swap when the display says so. It is expensive for what it is, and the reason to pay it is that most generic 26650 chargers are bare bays without a case, sold for flashlight users, and this one comes from the company that specified the cell. If you own one spare cell, buy this; if you own none, buy the cell first. Buy from Arizer for $53.99.

18650 Battery with Charge Tester, $29.99

The same idea for the older platform: an 18650 cell in a tester case, listed by Arizer for the Air SE, Air 2, and ArGo. Our Air SE review measured about an hour of real use from a charge and recommended carrying a spare; our ArGo review got around 90 minutes and said the same. To The Cloud lists an OEM Air and ArGo 18650 for $14.99 without the tester, but it was out of stock. Arizer's 18650 Battery Case holds two spare cells for $2.99 and is the right way to carry them. Buy the battery from Arizer for $29.99.

18650 Dual Battery Charger, $49.99

A two-bay external charger for the 18650 devices. Charging an Air SE or ArGo through its micro-USB port is slow, and both reviews on this site flag the wait; two cells rotating through a desk charger removes it. To The Cloud's Arizer External Battery Charger at $39.99 is the OEM charger for the Air, Air 2, and ArGo at a lower price, though the store showed a single unit in stock. Buy the dual charger from Arizer for $49.99.

USB-C Charger (5V 3A), $49.99

Arizer sells its USB-C wall adapters as separate products by output. The 5V 3A charger is the one in the Solo 3 and Solo 2 Max boxes, and the 5V 2A charger, $44.99, is the Air Max's. You do not need either to charge the device; any decent USB-C brick works, and the Solo 3's Power Delivery support means a laptop charger fills it faster than the stock adapter. Buy Arizer's when you want the exact spec the device was tested with, or when a warranty conversation might come up. Arizer also lists a USB-C PD Charger (3V 5A) for $39.99 for the Solo 3 and Go SRT, added in March 2026 and out of stock at the time of writing. Cords are $9.99 either way: a four-foot flat silicone USB-C to USB-C for the Solo 3 and a USB-A to USB-C for the Air Max. Buy the 5V 3A charger from Arizer.

Chargers for older Solos and Airs

The Solo 2 charges through a barrel plug on a chunky wall unit, which our review called its one real annoyance, and losing it means a dead device. Arizer sells the Solo II Charger for $34.99 in North American, European, UK, and Australian plugs, and The Stash Shack has the OEM Solo2 Wall Charger at the same $34.99 in stock. A Solo II Car Charger is $29.99. Original Air owners can get the Air Charger for $29.99 and the Air Car Charger for $24.99 at The Stash Shack, both cheaper than Arizer's $34.99 and $29.99, and the Air SE and Air 2 use a Micro-USB Charger, $34.99, which is only worth buying if you have somehow run out of micro-USB bricks. Original Solo owners still using the Solo Plug and Play Power Adapter, $44.99 at The Stash Shack, should note that it runs the device from the wall and does not charge it.

Warning: Use Arizer's own cells in the Air Max and the 18650 devices. The Solo 3 and Solo 2 recalls were both triggered by battery venting reports in devices using the batteries Arizer chose, which is exactly why a generic cell of unknown discharge rating is a bad idea in a heater that draws hard. Carry spares in a case with the terminals covered, never loose with keys, and read our battery life guide for charging habits that keep a cell healthy.

Cases and Carry: Match the Case to the Device

Arizer portables are pocketable heaters that become awkward the moment a glass tube is in them, and our reviews say so about every model. A case solves it by carrying the heater and the tubes separately. The catch is that Arizer names its cases after devices, and the names do not always mean what they seem.

Soft-Shell Case, $29.99

The one case Arizer lists for the Solo 3, and also for the Air Max, Solo 2, Solo 2 Max, and Air SE, which makes it the safe buy for anyone reading this. It is a padded zip case with three pockets: one for the heater, one for tubes in their PVC sleeves, and one for the charger, stirring tool, and a herb container. It is not discreet and not small, but it is the case that keeps the whole kit together for a weekend away, and it fits the Solo 3 with a 110mm tube in a travel sleeve alongside. Buy from Arizer for $29.99, or get it with the Herb Mill and Herb Jar in the Elevate Bundle for $101.97, down from $119.97 bought separately.

Air Belt-Clip Carry Case, $14.99

A nylon holster with a belt clip that carries the heater and two pre-loaded tubes, or the heater and spare batteries. Arizer lists it for the Air Max and Air SE, and it is the case for someone who uses the Air Max as a walk-around device: heater in the holster, two capped tubes in the side loops, swap when the first is done. It is utilitarian, as our Solo 2 review said of its sibling, and it is not for the Solo 3, which is taller and thicker than any Air. Buy from Arizer for $14.99. The Solo II Belt-Clip Carry Case is the same idea for the Solo 2 and Solo 2 Max at the same price; it came in the Solo 2 box, so buy it only if yours has worn out. Arizer does not list any belt case for the Solo 3.

Air Hard-Shell Case, $29.99

A molded zip case with a fitted interior for an Air Max or Air SE, its tubes, a battery, and the charger, listed by Arizer for both devices and described by Headshop.com as designed for the Air Max and Air SE specifically. It protects glass better than the soft case because nothing can press on the tubes from outside, and it is the case to put in checked luggage. It does not fit the Solo 3. Buy from Arizer for $29.99; Headshop.com lists it at $30 but was sold out.

Air Silicone Skin, $12.99

A silicone sleeve in black, blue, clear, green, pink, or red that Arizer lists for the Air SE. It adds grip, absorbs the knocks that mark the Air SE's white plastic housing (our review predicted the scuffs), and insulates the body a little at high temperatures. It is not made for the Air Max's metal body or the Solo 3. Buy from Arizer for $12.99.

Screens, Stirring Tools, Cleaning, Grinding, and Storage

The small parts. None of them change a session much on their own, but they are the difference between a device you maintain and a device you put up with.

Air / Solo Screen Pack, $4.99 for six or $23.99 for fifty

Stainless steel discs that drop into the bulb before the herb. Arizer's own listing is unusually blunt: metal screens make vapor harsh and diminish flavor, the glass tubes already have a built-in glass screen, and the company recommends whole or coarsely ground herb with no screen. Our reviewers agree, and most only use a screen with a fine grind or when a tube's glass dimples have worn. Buy the six-pack once and you will probably never open the fifty. The fifty exists for ArGo owners, whose narrower tubes need the Go Screen Pack at the same prices, and for anyone who grinds fine for bigger clouds. Buy from Arizer.

Stainless Steel Stirring Tool, $4.99

A slim steel pick with a flattened end for tamping herb into a tube and a point for clearing spent herb out. Every Arizer portable ships with one, and it is the most-lost accessory in the range because it is the size of a toothpick. It is also how you re-pack the small bowl for microdosing without touching the herb, as our ArGo review describes. Buy two; leave one in the case. Buy from Arizer for $4.99. The hand-made Glass Stirring Tool, $9.99, is the desktop version, thicker and prettier and sized for XQ2 bowls.

Cleaning Brush, $4.99

A beech-handled brush with plant-fibre Tampico bristles for sweeping loose herb out of the oven. This is the one cleaning accessory the Glass Pod System actually needs, because the tubes clean themselves in a jar of isopropyl but the oven collects crumbs that fall past the glass screen, and a wet swab in a hot ceramic oven is a bad habit. Brush the oven dry after each day, wipe with alcohol occasionally, and the heater stays clean for years. Our cleaning guide has the full routine and the Arizer-specific note that the oven should be bone dry before you heat it again. Buy from Arizer for $4.99.

Herb Mill, $64.99

Arizer's three-piece grinder in 6063 aluminum with magnets holding the pieces together, a storage chamber under the teeth, and a tooth and hole pattern tuned for the grind Arizer recommends: coarse and fluffy, with no fines to fall through the glass screen. It is expensive for a grinder, and any two-piece grinder that leaves the herb coarse does the same job. The reason to buy it is that a fine, dense grind is the single most common cause of harsh draws and blocked screens on these devices, and Arizer's tooth pattern makes the right grind the default. Read our guide to choosing the right grind before deciding whether your current grinder is the problem. Buy from Arizer for $64.99, or bundled with the jar and soft case in the Elevate Bundle.

Herb Jar, $24.99

An airtight glass jar in a protective silicone sleeve, sized for roughly 14g to 21g of herb. It is a good jar rather than a special one: glass keeps flavor, silicone keeps it alive when it rolls off a shelf, and the seal is tight enough to hold a humidity pack. Buy it if you want a jar that matches the mill; otherwise our stash jar guide has options at every price and our humidity guide explains why the seal matters more than the brand. Buy from Arizer for $24.99.

Air / Solo Glass Aroma Dish, $6.99

The small glass dish that ships with the Air Max and the Solo 2, and that the Solo 3 leaves out. It sits in the oven in place of a tube and warms dried lavender, chamomile, or rose petals for the scent, which is the aroma in aroma tube and the reason Arizer sells a shelf of botanicals. It also fits the aroma-dish-size PVC travel tube. Nobody needs it, some people love it, and at $6.99 it is a cheap way to find out which you are. Buy from Arizer.

Note: The first draws from a cold tube are thin on every Arizer, because the glass soaks up heat before the herb does. Let the tube sit in the oven for thirty seconds before you inhale, as our Air SE review advises, and use our temperature guide as a starting range rather than a target. None of the accessories on this page fixes a session that started before the glass was warm.

The Desktop Sidebar: XQ2, Extreme Q, and V-Tower Parts

If you also own an Arizer desktop, the same store stocks every part for it, and the parts cross over more than you would think: the herb mill, herb jar, and stirring tools above are listed for the XQ2 too, and the 14 to 11 and 19 to 11 reducers exist for its balloon mouthpiece. These are the desktop-specific parts worth knowing, with the XQ2 review on this site as the reference.

Glass Connoisseur Bowl, $24.99

The XQ2's dual bowl, with a large cloud chamber on one side and a small flavor chamber on the other, so you flip it to change the dose from a group-sized 1.5g load to a personal one. The glass screen is built in. The XQ2 ships with two; the Extreme Q and V-Tower ship with the cyclone bowl instead, and a connoisseur bowl is the best upgrade an Extreme Q owner can make. Buy from Arizer for $24.99.

Glass Cyclone Bowl, $14.99

The classic Extreme Q and V-Tower bowl with a flat screen and a cool-touch glass topper, and the part that breaks first on every desktop Arizer because it lives on top of the heater and gets handled hot. Keep a spare. Buy from Arizer for $14.99 or from To The Cloud for $14.99, which lists it for the V-Tower, Extreme Q, and XQ2.

3 Foot Whip, $24.99

A complete whip assembly: three feet of food-grade tubing in silicone or PVC, a glass elbow adapter with a dome screen on the bowl end, and a glass mouthpiece with a swivel. The XQ2 ships with one and our review's main complaint was that it ships with only one, because whips cannot be soaked in alcohol and get replaced rather than cleaned. Nine feet of bare tubing is $14.99 if you keep the glass ends. Buy from Arizer for $24.99.

Glass Elbow Adapter, $14.99

The L-shaped glass connector with a 19mm male joint that joins the whip to the bowl, sold with a dome screen or with a glass screen for the same price. Arizer's own tip on the listing is the answer to the water pipe question our XQ2 review raised: put an elbow on both ends of a length of tubing and the second elbow's 19mm joint drops into an 18mm bong. Two elbows and nine feet of tubing is the cheapest desktop-to-water setup Arizer makes. Buy from Arizer for $14.99, or from Slick Vapes for $12.99, the one Arizer part that store had in stock.

Balloons, connectors, and the mini whip

The bag system needs three parts. The Replacement Balloon Pack, $16.99, is six food-grade bags with no mouthpieces; treat bags as disposable, as our review says, and a turkey oven bag works in a pinch. The Balloon Connector, $16.99, clamps a bag onto the mouthpiece, and a pack of four silicone Balloon Caps, $16.99, stops a filled bag leaking between draws. The Glass Mini Whip, $19.99, is the short all-glass piece with a dome screen that connects the bowl to the balloon mouthpiece, and the Frosted Glass Balloon Mouthpiece is $9.99 with an 11mm joint. Arizer sells all of it together as Balloons Galore for $95.97, down from $112.92.

XQ2 Remote Control, $29.99

The XQ2's large-button remote with direct access to the session settings and the programmable presets, and the part most likely to vanish down the side of a sofa. The Extreme Q remote is $16.99 and the two are not interchangeable. While you are on the desktop shelf: the XQ2 Glass Heater Cover, $22.99, and its screen pack, $16.99, are the internal parts that eventually crack or clog, the Air Filter Cartridge, $16.99, keeps dust out of the fan, and Tuff BowlGrips, $19.99 a pair, are the silicone sleeves that let you lift a hot connoisseur bowl. Buy the XQ2 remote from Arizer.

Build Your Kit by Budget

Under $30, the day-to-day kit. A second XL tube ($14.99) for the Solo 3 or a second standard tube ($14.99) for the Air Max, a Stem Cap Pack ($6.99), and two PVC travel tubes ($2.49 each). This is the kit that lets you pre-load a day's doses and never wait for glass to cool.

Around $60, into water. To The Cloud's 14mm adapter ($8.99) as a beater, the Frosted Glass Expander ($12.99) for your existing bong, a Curved tube ($14.99) for dry sessions, and the Cleaning Brush ($4.99) plus a Stirring Tool ($4.99). Solo 3 owners should swap the cheap adapter for a second XL Frosted tube ($19.99) if the big bowl is the point.

Around $120, the all-day Air Max. A 26650 Battery with Charge Tester ($33.99), the 26650 Battery Charger ($53.99), the Air Belt-Clip Case ($14.99), and a Tipped tube ($14.99) for hot short-glass sessions. This turns the Air Max into the Arizer you carry rather than the one you leave on the desk. Air SE and ArGo owners build the same kit from the 18650 battery ($29.99) and dual charger ($49.99).

Around $150, the complete Solo 3 desk. The Elevate Bundle ($101.97) for the mill, jar, and soft case, a 110mm tube ($14.99) for the coolest dry draws, a Frosted Glass Expander ($12.99), and a Screen Pack ($4.99) for the rare fine grind. Add the USB-C 5V 3A charger ($49.99) only if the one in the box is lost.

What to Skip, or at Least Buy Last

• Metal screens as a default. Arizer's own listing says they make vapor harsher. Fix the grind instead and keep the six-pack for emergencies.
• A belt case for the Solo 3. Arizer does not list one, and the Air and Solo II cases are sized for smaller devices. The soft-shell case is the Solo 3's case.
• The XL tubes for anything but a Solo 3. They are not in the Air Max, Solo 2 Max, or Air SE accessory lists. Buy the standard tube in the length you want.
• Arizer's USB-C wall chargers, unless the original is lost. A phone brick charges the Air Max, and a Power Delivery laptop brick charges the Solo 3 faster than the stock adapter.
• The 26650 charger before a spare cell. Without a second battery it does nothing the device's own port does not.
• A second 14 to 11 or 19 to 11 reducer for a portable. They exist for the desktop balloon mouthpiece. Portables need the expander and, occasionally, the 19 to 14.
• Generic 26650 and 18650 cells. Two Arizer recalls in two years were about batteries. Buy the cell Arizer specifies or none at all.
• Accessories for a recalled device. If your Solo 3 serial number is in the recall list, submit the form first. The replacement is a whole new device and Arizer requires the old one disabled.

Compatibility Cheat Sheet

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Solo 2 accessories fit the Solo 3?

The glass does. Every Air / Solo aroma tube, including the frosted 14mm tube, the tipped tube, and the curved tube, fits the Solo 3, and so do the stem caps, PVC travel tubes, expander, and reducers. The Solo 2's barrel-plug charger, car charger, and belt-clip case do not carry over, because the Solo 3 charges over USB-C and is a larger device.

Does the XL aroma tube fit the Air Max or Solo 2?

Arizer lists the XL glass and XL frosted tubes under the Solo 3 only. They do not appear in the Air Max, Solo 2 Max, Solo 2, or Air SE accessory lists, and the wider bulb is the reason. Use the standard Air / Solo tubes in those devices.

Can I replace the battery in the Solo 3?

No. The Solo 3 has a built-in battery rated for up to three hours of Session mode, and Arizer does not sell a replacement cell. The Air Max is the current Arizer portable with a removable cell, a 26650, and the Air SE and ArGo use a removable 18650.

What size water pipe joint do Arizer devices use?

The frosted tubes are 14mm male, so they drop into a 14mm female joint. For an 18mm bong, add the Frosted Glass Expander (14 to 19). To The Cloud's $8.99 adapter is also 14mm male and fits every Solo and Air except the ArGo, which needs its own adapter.

Do I need the metal screens?

Usually not. Every Arizer tube has a glass screen built into the bulb, and Arizer's own screen listing says metal screens make vapor harsher and recommends coarsely ground herb with no screen. Keep the six-pack for a fine grind or a tube whose glass screen has worn.

Is my Solo 3 part of the recall?

Only if it is an Intergalactic Black unit and its serial number, printed on the base and the box, begins with M3B1G5, M3F4G6, M35C43, M3PN54, M3SR42, M38G53, M3G576, or M3C121. Those units were sold or replaced under warranty after May 29, 2025 in Canada and the United States. Sea of Green units are not included. The form is at arizer.com/recall and Arizer ships a replacement Solo 3 after you disable the old one.

Which case fits the Solo 3?

The Soft-Shell Case, which is the only case Arizer lists for it. The Air Belt-Clip and Air Hard-Shell cases are sized for the Air Max and Air SE, and the Solo II Belt-Clip case is for the Solo 2 and Solo 2 Max.

Do the ArGo and Go SRT use the same tubes?

No. The ArGo uses its own narrower glass tubes and stem caps, and the 2026 Go SRT uses Go Glass Aroma Tubes and Go Shells that are separate again. Neither takes an Air / Solo tube, and Air / Solo devices do not take Go glass.

The Bottom Line

The Arizer accessory list is short because the device is simple, and that is the appeal. Start with tubes: a spare XL for the Solo 3, a spare standard tube in the length you like for the Air Max, caps, and travel sleeves. Then buy the water pipe glass, because the frosted tube is where both devices are at their best and the expander is a $12.99 fix for a bong you already own. Air Max owners should add a second 26650 and the charger before anything else, since that is the upgrade the Solo 3 cannot buy at any price. Everything after that is comfort: a curved or tipped tube, the soft case, the mill.

The compatibility story is the reason to stay in the Arizer family. Glass bought for a Solo 2 a decade ago still fits, and glass bought today will fit whatever Arizer releases next, while the batteries and chargers are the parts that change from generation to generation. Buy the glass freely, buy the electrics for the device you own, check the recall page once, and watch our deals page for the Arizer store's regular bundle discounts before you order.
