Choosing Your Chamber
For Dry Herb:
- Use the ceramic-lined herb chamber
- Provides even conduction heating
- Best for ground botanical material
For Concentrates:
- Use the quartz coil-less capsule
- Clean, efficient vaporization
- Works with wax, shatter, crumble
Using with Dry Herb
Preparing Herb
- Grind material to medium-fine consistency
- Don't grind to powder (restricts airflow)
- Remove stems and seeds
Loading the Herb Chamber
- Remove mouthpiece to access chamber
- Fill chamber loosely—don't pack tight
- Fill to top but don't overfill
- Replace mouthpiece securely
Optimal Packing
- Too loose: Uneven heating, weak vapor
- Too tight: Restricted airflow, poor vapor
- Just right: Gentle pack, air can flow through
