Usage Instructions

Preparing Your Herb

Proper preparation is essential for optimal vapor quality:

  1. Grind your herb to a medium-fine consistency
  2. Remove stems and seeds before loading
  3. Ensure material is properly dried (not overly moist)
  4. Do not grind to powder as this restricts airflow

Loading the Chamber

  1. Remove the magnetic mouthpiece by pulling it straight up
  2. Use the included brush or a small tool to load herb into the ceramic chamber
  3. Fill the chamber loosely—do not compress tightly
  4. Fill to the top but avoid overpacking
  5. Brush away any material from the rim
  6. Replace the magnetic mouthpiece securely

Optimal Packing Guide

Packing StyleResult
Too LooseUneven heating, weak vapor
Too TightRestricted airflow, poor extraction
Just RightGentle fill, material moves slightly when shaken

Setting Temperature

  1. With the device powered on, use the + and - buttons to adjust temperature
  2. Temperature can be set anywhere from 200F to 480F
  3. The display updates in real-time as you adjust
  4. Device begins heating automatically when temperature is set

Temperature Guide

Temperature RangeBest ForVapor Characteristics
200-320F (93-160C)Maximum flavor, terpene preservationLight, wispy vapor, subtle effects
320-390F (160-199C)Balanced experienceModerate vapor, good flavor
390-430F (199-221C)Strong vapor productionDense clouds, less flavor
430-480F (221-248C)Maximum extractionVery dense vapor, minimal flavor

Vaping Technique

  1. Wait for the device to reach target temperature (it vibrates when ready)
  2. Place the mouthpiece to your lips
  3. Draw slowly and steadily for 3-5 seconds
  4. Do not inhale too forcefully—gentle draws work best
  5. Exhale and repeat
  6. Stir the chamber halfway through the session for even extraction

Session Tips

  • Start low, go slow: Begin at lower temperatures and increase as flavor diminishes
  • Slow draws: Rapid pulling cools the chamber and reduces vapor
  • Stir mid-session: Use a small tool to stir herb for more even heating
  • Know when to stop: When flavor turns harsh or "popcorn-like," the material is spent
  • Fresh material: Spent herb turns brown; if it turns black, your temperature is too high

Temperature Recommendations by Effect

Flavor-Focused Session (200-350F)

  • Preserves terpenes and volatile compounds
  • Light, tasty vapor with subtle effects
  • Best for appreciating strain characteristics
  • Longer sessions possible before material is spent

Balanced Session (350-400F)

  • Good combination of flavor and effect
  • Moderate visible vapor
  • Sweet spot for most users
  • Recommended starting range for beginners

Effect-Focused Session (400-480F)

  • Maximum extraction from material
  • Dense, visible vapor clouds
  • Stronger effects, less flavor
  • Material depletes faster

Battery and Charging

Battery Life

The 1200mAh battery provides:

  • 4-6 full sessions on a single charge (typical use)
  • Fewer sessions at high temperatures
  • More sessions at low temperatures
  • Battery indicator on LCD shows remaining charge

Charging Instructions

  1. Connect USB Type-C cable to the charging port
  2. Connect to a USB power source
  3. LCD displays charging status
  4. Full charge: approximately 90 minutes
  5. Disconnect when charging is complete

Battery Best Practices

  • Do not completely drain battery before recharging
  • Avoid leaving on charger for extended periods after full
  • Use quality USB power sources (5V/1A or higher recommended)
  • Avoid extreme temperatures during charging and storage
  • Store partially charged (40-60%) for long-term storage

Care & Maintenance

After Each Session

  1. While the chamber is still warm (not hot), tap out spent material
  2. Use the cleaning brush to remove remaining debris
  3. Wipe the mouthpiece airpath with a dry cloth
  4. Allow device to cool before storage

Weekly Deep Cleaning

Ceramic Chamber:

  1. Ensure device is completely cool and powered off
  2. Remove mouthpiece
  3. Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol (90%+)
  4. Gently wipe the chamber walls
  5. Do not saturate—moisture should not reach electronics
  6. Allow to dry completely before use (at least 30 minutes)

Mouthpiece:

  1. Remove from device
  2. Disassemble if applicable
  3. Soak components in isopropyl alcohol for 10-15 minutes
  4. Rinse with warm water
  5. Dry thoroughly before reattaching

Exterior:

  1. Wipe with slightly damp cloth
  2. Dry immediately
  3. Do not submerge device in any liquid

Cleaning Tips

  • Clean chamber while still slightly warm for easier debris removal
  • Never use sharp metal tools that could scratch ceramic
  • Regular cleaning maintains flavor quality and airflow
  • Replace screens/filters if they become clogged (check Yocan for replacements)

Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place
  • Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures
  • Empty chamber before long-term storage
  • Keep mouthpiece attached to prevent dust entry
  • Store partially charged for extended periods

Safety Information

General Safety

  • Adult use only (21+)
  • Keep away from children and pets
  • Do not use if device appears damaged
  • Stop use immediately if device overheats unusually
  • Do not modify the device
  • Use only as intended for dry herb vaporization

Heating Safety

  • Device and vapor will be hot during use
  • Do not touch the chamber during or immediately after use
  • Allow 2-3 minutes cooling before handling the chamber
  • Set device on a stable, heat-resistant surface during use
  • The 30-minute auto-shutoff provides protection but do not rely on it exclusively

Battery Safety

  • Use only the included USB Type-C cable or certified replacements
  • Do not leave charging unattended overnight
  • Discontinue use if battery swells or device overheats
  • Do not expose to extreme heat (above 113F/45C)
  • Do not expose to extreme cold (below 32F/0C)
  • Dispose of device properly per local electronics recycling regulations

Material Safety

  • Use only dry botanical herbs
  • Never use liquids, oils, or concentrates in the ceramic chamber
  • Do not vaporize unknown substances
  • Ensure materials are clean and free of contaminants
  • Never combust material intentionally (if you see smoke and ash, temperature is too high)

Troubleshooting

Q:Device won't turn on

A:Ensure battery is charged. Press the power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds. If unresponsive, connect to charger and try again.

Q:No vapor production

A:Increase temperature setting. Ensure herb is ground finely and packed properly (not too tight). Check that chamber is loaded. Verify device has reached target temperature.

Q:Weak or thin vapor

A:Try higher temperature. Ensure herb is dry enough. Pack chamber slightly firmer. Take slower, longer draws.

Q:Burnt or harsh taste

A:Lower temperature setting. Stir herb mid-session for more even heating. Clean the chamber. Replace old or overheated material.

Q:Battery draining quickly

A:High temperatures use more power. Turn device off between sessions. Avoid extreme cold environments. Consider if battery needs replacement after extended use.

Q:Display not working

A:Charge the device fully. If display flickers, contact Yocan support. Avoid pressing multiple buttons simultaneously.

Q:Mouthpiece not staying attached

A:Clean magnetic connection points on both mouthpiece and device. Check for debris preventing proper seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature should I use?

Start around 350F for flavor, increase to 380-400F for balanced vapor, or go higher (420-450F) for maximum extraction. Experiment to find your preference.

How finely should I grind my herb?

Medium-fine grind works best. Too coarse leads to uneven heating, too fine restricts airflow. Consistency similar to dried oregano is ideal.

How much herb should I pack?

Fill the chamber loosely without overpacking. Herb should not be compressed tightly. Leave slight room for air to flow through the material.

How long does a session last?

A full chamber typically lasts 10-15 minutes of active use. Flavor will diminish as material is extracted. Used herb turns brown when spent.

Can I use concentrates in this device?

No, the Vane 2 is designed exclusively for dry herb. Using concentrates will damage the ceramic chamber and void your warranty.

How do I know when herb is spent?

Spent herb turns medium to dark brown (not black). Vapor production decreases significantly, and flavor becomes muted or slightly toasted.

Why does my device vibrate?

The Vane 2 vibrates to indicate it has reached your target temperature and is ready to use.
