How to use your Vapolution Vaporizer and Hot Box Vaporizer 

How to use your Vapolution Vaporizer:

1.  All Vapolution bowls are dimpled about 1 inch from the end.  The dimple acts like a screen.  The end closest to the dimple is where you load your tobacco/herbs.   Insert the end AWAY from the dimple into the food grade tubing.  If necessary, heat the tubing up by boiling some water.   Submerge one end of the tubing into the boiling water for 3-5 seconds.  The bowl will now slip into the softened tubing with ease.

2a. Slip the white retaining washer over the straight bowl.  Slide it up until it touches the food-grade tubing.

2b.  GENTLY insert the bowl into the top of the vaporizer.  The bowl will stop when it touches the bottom of the heater.  Position the washer so it prevents the bowl from touching the bottom of the heater.  A 1/4" gap off the bottom of the heater is suggested.

3.  The power jack on the back of the vaporizer will accept the Vapolution power supply, car adapter or the optional battery pack.  Plug in the vaporizer.

4.  Flip the switch up to turn the vaporizer on.  The switch will light up when the vaporizer is on.

5.  The lowest temperature setting on the vaporizer is at 6 o'clock.  The highest setting is at 4 o'clock.   A quick start-up can be achieved by turning the vaporizer on its highest setting.  After 5 minutes of pre-heating, turn the vaporizer down to your preferred setting.   12 o'clock is the most common setting for vaporizing.  The Vapolution Vaporizer is designed to run for up to 8 hours continuously without overheating or burning out.   Some users leave the vaporizer on their preferred setting all the time.

6.  Loading the bowl correctly is the most important step.  DO NOT grind your tobacco/herbs.  Break off 1-3 small plant pods.   Give the plant pods a squeeze and roll them in between your fingers.  Make the tobacco/plant pods into a vapor pellet.   Gently slide the formed pellet into the bowl.  If you have to force it, the pellet is too big.  Good airflow is important!   If you load it too tight, you will get no vapor.  If you load it too loose, it will fall out.  Loading the bowl takes a little practice.

7.  Place the loaded bowl into the top of the pre-heated vaporizer.  Some users like to count to 5 before they begin to inhale vapor through the tube.   A slow and steady draw will extract the best vapor.  Draw until you are out of breath.  Hold it in and then exhale.  You will see visible vapor.   You can repeat this process around 3-7 times depending on the quality of your tobacco or herbs and the temperature setting you have selected.

8.  The tobacco/plant material will turn golden to dark brown once it has been completely vaporized.  The taste will also change from sweet and good to a bitter flavor that most describe as tasting like burnt popcorn.  Vaporizing the same tobacco/herb for too long, or setting the vaporizer above 2 o'clock, will turn the vapor pellet black and can cause VAPOR CHOKE.  It is best to stay in the safe zone ( 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock on the dial ) until you are intimate with your Vapolution Vaporizer.

9.  The vaporized herb can be discharged from the bowl by blowing through the tube.  Place the bowl into a discharge receptacle and blow.  The spent vapor pellet will shoot out.  Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute for the bowl to cool.

How to use your Hot Box Vaporizer:

1.  Plug the Hot Box into a wall socket and turn the unit on using the switch built into the cord.

2.  Allow the Hot Box to reach its optimal temperature.  This usually takes around 5 - 10 minutes.  Use of extension cords may require additional time.

3.  Grind your tobacco/herbs to a fine consistency.  The key is to produce as much surface area as possible.

4.  Place your tobacco/herbs into the wand.  Fill the wand no more than 1/3 of the way up.  Doing so may cause charring or burning of the material, which is what we are trying to prevent.  Excessive packing will waste a lot of material.

5.  When ready to use, hold the wand against the tip of the glass heating element and begin to inhale through the tube.   DO NOT use excessive pressure when mating the bowl to the vaporizer as the glass may break.  NEVER USE BROKEN GLASSWARE.   Vaporizing properly takes some practice.  You will need to adjust your inhaling rate to learn what works best for you.   Moderately paced, smooth draws work the best.  The slower you draw, the higher the temperature of the air passing through the material in the wand.

6.  If used properly you should not really see anything passing through the tube as you inhale.   You will know the device is working if you exhale a white vapor cloud... ultra clean and pure!  Mix the herbs in the wand between each draw.   You will get 2-6 draws per fill depending on the amount used and the moisture level of the tobacco/herb.   It is recommended that you add a drop or two of water to dried out tobacco or herbs.  Proper use should result in intense flavor and a lack of odor.
