From Ed’s workshop

Yall know I have been making Solo stems for the Arizer for years, we know the Arizer Solo is and always has been a rock solid work horse device. Have been asked a # of times since the 3 came out for a XL stem. Here ya go, same awesome wood species with a larger tip for twice the load area over the others offered.

Having double the load capacity, there is more thermal mass providing for an even and thorough extraction for longer sessions.

Each stem comes with a few extra screens and 3 high temperature orings. There is a small groove in the wood shaft that presses into the stainless-steel tip that holds an oring. The shaft is then pressed into the SS bushing and held in place securely with a compression fit. Having the oring allows the user to simple slide off the bushing to easily remove the screen while leaving the clip in place. You can then take a cotton swab dipped in high proof alcohol and swab out the inside of the stem and bushing. Let it dry, place a new screen under the clip, the oring should still be in good shape. If not, simply take the old one off and slide a new one on. Press the shaft back into the bushing for a solid fit.

Please do remember, these wooden stems should never be washed, soaked, submerged or dipped in any liquid ever! This will cause the wood to swell and may crack, surely it will discolor, and neither is good!

Be advised, as with all my work its natural as Mother Nature intended. There may be voids, worm holes, live edges and raw features. Each piece is unique and no two are the same. The piece you receive most likely will not be exactly the same as what is pictured but will be a beautifully unique handcrafted unit. 

Natural wood varies from piece to piece. Grain, figuring, small voids, live-edge character, and tone can differ from the photos; that individuality is part of Ed’s handmade work.
