On the 19th Will @ Fiddlebricks said "Hi There! Every Solo purchased through this buy will be the newest units possible. All will have stainless steel bowls." <br /><br />The newest Arizer Solo product - the Solo Portable Diffuser specs have a Ceramic Heater. Are these units purchased as a close out sale on old inventory or will they in fact have the new ceramic heater? http://arizer.com/store/en/home/31-portable-diffuser-solo.html

Terry_G@Terry_G <br />From what I've read the first model(s) had a bare ceramic heating unit that would eventually chip during the insertion/removal of the stems. They added a stainless steel cup/shield around the ceramic heater to prevent contact and chipping. What Will said aligns with the verbiage that most of the Arizer authorized reseller websites use. Latest, greatest, steel bowl.

Terry_GAll units have a ceramic heater its the crucible that's different. Read below for a quick history on it:<br /><br /> "Model" numbers<br /><br />Each Solo is marked with a serial number that begins with M1nn. This portion of the serial number is sometimes referred to as a model number. Arizer has said that these are manufacturing batch numbers and do not reflect models; however, some changes were introduced beginning with certain batches.<br /><br />Initially, the Solo was only manufactured with a ceramic crucible. However, a small percentage of users complained that the crucible was prone to chipping or flaking. Though Arizer stated that any flaking of the crucible would not adversely affect the performance of the unit, they began developing a version of the solo with a Stainless Steel crucible. Solo's that utilized the steel crucible were introduced in the M105 production run. The M105 production run also saw the addition of a loose PTFE ring for better retention of the stem, as well as a firmware update which had the unintended effect of lowering the temperature levels by about 10 degrees centigrade. M106 and later units restored the original temperature scale.<br /><br />At some point around M106 units Arizer made some changes to the charger unit as well.<br /><br />Additionally numerous software changes to try and optimize the balance between warm up time, temperature and overall battery life have been made and the latest units do seem to have better battery life than the earlier units.<br /><br />No known differences with the M107 unit from the M106's as of Feb 2012. <br /><br /><br /><br />Here is the wiki I sourced the info from: http://vaporpedia.com/wiki/Solo
