Arizer ArGo Accessories for Travel: Stems, Caps, Travel Tubes and Spacers
The best Arizer ArGo accessories for travel are spare short glass stems, silicone stem caps, a protective travel tube and a cooling stem.
The Arizer ArGo, also called the Arizer Go, uses its own stems, so Solo and Air accessories will not fit it. Everything below is a third-party accessory made by The Vapetrix for the Arizer ArGo and ArGo SRT. We do not currently sell ArGo batteries or cases, so here is what we do make.
- Short glass stems and spares
- Cooling stems
- Silicone stem caps
- Travel tube
- Glass spacers
- Water adapters
1. Short Glass Stems (and Spares)
Glass is the part most likely to break on the road, so a spare is the most useful accessory you can carry. The Classic Short Glass Stem is 70 mm long, which keeps the ArGo pocket-sized, and it is also sold in a pack of 5 if you want a stock of spares. For a little more airflow, the Aero XL Short Stem is the same length with a more open draw.
2. A Cooling Stem for Longer Sessions
A longer glass path gives the vapor more time to cool without adding water. The Aura Cooling Stem is 110 mm and filled with coloured glass beads, and it has high-airflow openings, so we suggest using it with filter screens. If you would rather keep it simple, the Classic Long Glass Stem is plain 110 mm glass. Longer stems are less pocket-friendly, so they suit a bag rather than a jacket pocket. Our guide to cooling stems for the ArGo goes into more detail.
3. Silicone Stem Caps
Stem caps are a small detail that matters when you carry pre-loaded stems. They keep the ends clean and stop material spilling. The Silicone Travel Stem Caps come in a pack of 10 (there is also a pack of 5). For a step-by-step method, see how to pre-load ArGo stems for travel.
4. A Protective Travel Tube
A padded case is one option, but a rigid tube is smaller. The Vault Smell-Proof Travel Tube is aluminium with a silicone seal and a screw lid, and it fits the 70 mm short stem, including with a cap on. It does not fit the 110 mm stems (the Aura and the Classic Long). It protects the glass and keeps odor in. If you also want a small airtight container for pocket carry, the Smell Proof Container Capsules are a pack of three aluminium tubes with screw lids.
5. Glass Spacers for Even Heating
Backspacers sit behind the material in the stem and control how far it is from the heat source. The Anti-Scorch Glass Spacer Pack includes 2, 3 and 5 mm sizes, so you can adjust and also have a spare when one is soaking. Our guide to ArGo backspacers explains how to choose a size.
6. A Water Adapter for Home
When you are not travelling, a water piece adds cooling. The 14 mm Water Pipe Adapter lets the ArGo connect to any standard 14 mm female joint. If you have pieces in other sizes, the Multi-Fit WPA (10/14/18 mm) covers more setups. See our guide to ArGo water pipe and bubbler setups.
Sample Travel Kit
- Two or three short glass stems, with a spare or two in reserve
- Silicone stem caps for any pre-loaded stems
- A travel tube for the 70 mm stems
Final Thoughts
The ArGo is compact by design, and a small set of accessories keeps it that way: spare stems, caps, a tube and, if you want it, a cooling stem.
