The spiral makes vapor travel further before it reaches you, giving it time to cool.
No water and no beads: just glass. Plug it in and go.
A comfortable step up from a plain straight stem.

Fill the chamber end as you would any Arizer stem.

Push the chamber end into your Solo or Air.

Vapor winds through the spiral and cools on the way.

Soak in isopropyl alcohol so it reaches through the spiral, rinse with warm water and dry fully.
Your Arizer device is not included.

So much nicer to vape through this, I wasn't really a fan of the vape by itself, and this has made the difference between vaping and smoking it
Great gadget , provides a decent cooling effect. One of my go to glassware with my solo3 now
Far better than the original aroma tubes however airflow a bit tight
watching the vapor spiral looks neat
Nice
Worked great for weeks then I dropped it and it broke..!
It took 2 weeks to get here and it was broken!

Yes. On the Solo and Air the glass stem is the mouthpiece. The Vortex plugs into the device at one end and you draw from the other.
The Vortex cools with a longer, spiralled path and has no beads inside. Bead stems like the Ultra cool by passing vapor over lots of extra glass surface. See them side by side in the comparison.
Yes. It's made for the whole Arizer Solo and Air series: Solo, Solo 2, Solo 2 MAX, Solo 3, Solo 3 V2.0, Air, Air 2, Air MAX and Air SE. See the full list of models.
Soak it in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Let it dry fully before use. Our stem cleaning guide has more tips.
No. It's designed and sold by The Vapetrix and made for Arizer devices.
