• Center the concentrate for even heating
• Avoid overloading - causes waste and residue
• Let thick concentrates soften before loading if needed

Selecting Voltage

Click the power button 3 times rapidly to cycle through settings:

Voltage	LED Color	Best For
2.5V	Low	Maximum flavor, terpene preservation
2.8V	Medium-Low	Balanced flavor and vapor
3.2V	Medium-High	Increased vapor, good effects
3.7V	High	Maximum vapor production

The voltage is set when the LED stops flashing.

Manual Mode Operation

1. Select your voltage setting
2. Press and hold the power button to heat
3. Begin inhaling when vapor forms (approximately 5 seconds)
4. Continue holding while drawing
5. Release button when finished
6. Exhale

Hands-Free Mode Operation

1. Select your voltage setting
2. Double-click the power button rapidly
3. Device begins heating automatically
4. Inhale without holding any buttons
5. Click button once to stop heating
6. Exhale

Hands-Free Benefits:

• Easier for longer draws

• Consistent heating throughout draw

Draw Technique

For optimal vapor production:

• Wait for heat: Allow 5 seconds for full heating
• Draw speed: Slow and steady
• Draw length: 3-5 seconds per draw
• Breathing: Light lung inhale, brief hold, exhale

Voltage Guide

Understanding Voltage Settings

Voltage	Vapor	Flavor	Effects	Best For
