The faceoff: Firefly vaporizer vs. Arizer Solo!
Versatility: The Arizer Solo is a no-frills dry herb vaporizer. In contrast, Firefly offers greater versatility because you can get concentrate pads which can be used along with e-liquids as well concentrates. However, the maximum temperature setting of 400 degrees F of the Firefly hoses down the performance of the unit because it is just not hot enough for concentrates.
• Firefly: 4/5
• Solo:3.5/5
Battery charge time: The Firefly battery is removable, so it is possible to carry an additional unit along. However, this would set you back by an additional $60 for the battery and external charger. As far as charge time is concerned, Firefly goes from empty to full charge in 45 minutes flat. Compare
Yes, the makers of Solo should include a carry case with their product like the one offered with Firefly. You also get 5 replacement screens, cleaning wipes and cleaning picks as part of the Firefly kit. However, Solo provides a greater vaping experience with water pipes and other accessories. So, in all fairness they are at the same level when it comes to this factor.
• Firefly: 4/5
• Solo: 4/5
Aesthetics: Firefly is a clear winner here. The Solo is better than most cheap products out there but its bulky design does not make it a flaunt-worthy piece.
• Firefly: 4.5/5
• Solo:4/5
Temperature regulation: Firefly heats up to a maximum temperature of 400 degrees F which is just 10 degrees lower than the maximum temperature setting on the Solo. But, the user gets no control over the heating element and the temperature setting. On the other hand, the Solo allows you to take your pick from 7 settings. So, you get more from the herbs as you gradually increase the heat.
• Firefly: 3.5/5
• Solo: 5/5
Draw stems: Glass is an inert material that does not impact the taste of the vapor while steel does. Also, you get two options with Solo, an angled and a straight stem. With the Firefly the tiny mouthpiece is attached to the unit, so you cannot fiddle with it.

However, the glass stem of the Arizer Solo makes it vulnerable to breakage and it can be very hard to carry extra pieces along in your pocket, particularly if they are made of glass.
• Firefly: 4/5
• Solo:3.5/5

Safety: The stem of the Solo gets very hot to touch after use. So, you will need to give the unit some time to cool before touching the herb bowl. It is pretty much the same with Firefly. The glass viewing window gets just as hot to touch after use. However, there is an additional safety feature built in to the Solo. The unit will be automatically shut down after 12 minutes of use to prevent overheating. With the Firefly, you need to watch for the amber light. If you miss it, you will probably burn out the heating element.
• Firefly: 3.5/5
• Solo: 4/5
Ease of use: With the Arizer Solo, you don't have to bother with turning or stirring the herbs whereas when using Firefly, you will need to open the magnetic lid and push the herb particles back into the tray and even stir them around for even heating. On the flip side, you don't get to see if a load has been completely cooked with Solo but the viewing pane on the Firefox gives you a view of what is going on in the herb
