Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

The Volatizer 3 vaporizer is not only a revolutionary but also an evolutionary vaporizer. Its efficiency and performance exceed others in terms of functionality and competence. Its easy to use design and cutting edge vaporization techniques give the vaporizer a definite edge over others. If it is pure and unsoiled phyto-inhalation that you want then that is what you will get with Volatizer Vaporizer 3. It will make you free from using water filled containers, balloons and hoses. The best thing about a Volatizer vaporizer is that it is the only vaporizer that is pocket-size, battery operated and rechargeable. Volatizer vaporizer is multipurpose in nature as it can be used in aromatherapy, medicinal herbs, essential oils or other herbal substances.

Following are the identifying components of a Volatizer Vaporizer.

  1. Custom Lockable Case
  2. Extra-ceramic vaporization chambers
  3. Cleaning Kit

Using the Volatizer Vaporizer

The Volatizer Vaporizer has to be charged before it can be put to use. Plug the charger into a standard 120 AC outlet and insert the plug into the socket present at the back of the Volatizer Vaporizer. A red light will be displayed on the screen when the unit is being charged. Another red indicator under the display screen will be lit to indicate that the charger is connected and the charging is in process. When the battery is fully charged then a green light will be displayed on the screen. It is recommended that the charger should be kept plugged in over night to ensure a fully charged battery.
The usage of the unit determines how long will the battery last. If the unit is set at higher temperature and used frequently then obviously the vaporizer would be required to recharge sooner. When the battery is low, the res light under the display screen begins to wink and the unit also makes a beep sound. The whole unit will completely turn off when the battery is fully discharged. The turning off of the whole unit will erase the previous temperature settings and new temperature is required to be set, when used the next time.

Instructions

Before the instructions are stated, it is very important to note that the Volatizer 3 Vaporizer cannot be turned on unless the mouthpiece is extended and the covering over the vaporization chamber should be completely closed. This small but significant instruction should be followed very strictly. Slide the vaporization compartment cover upwards to load the Volatizer Chamber. After this insert the ceramic chamber into the vaporizer. Generally there are extra ceramic chambers provided with the vaporizer with mesh screens. The screen is basically to prevent the herbal substance from touching the heating elements or interfering with the other parts of the vaporization chambers. Using mesh lids is totally a user’s choice, many people avoid using the mesh screen because of inconvenience. If you do want to use the mesh screen then do not shake or turn the vaporizer upside down as it will make the herb or its debris fall out or spread in the upper screen.

  1. Load the Volatizer Vaporizer with a very small amount of plant material or herbal substance in the ceramic vaporization chamber. You don’t have to finely grind the herbal substance only reduce it to the size of a herbal pellet. If you want to use an essential oil then put only a small drop of oil on the vaporization chamber.
  2. Insert the chamber which is loaded with the constituent herb into the Volatizer 3 Vaporizer and make sure that the vaporization compartment cover completely closes the chamber.
  3. Turn on the unit by pressing the Off/On button. Words and numbers will be displayed on the screen as soon as you switch on the unit. The first number that appears is the nominal or the actual temperature in degree Celsius in the vaporization chamber. Set the temperature that you want by pressing the temperature increase (left) or decrease (right) buttons which are located below the screen. Just press once to to go up or down one degree, or hold down for faster adjustment of the temperature setting. When the temperature is adjusted, ’set’ will appear on the screen along with a blue back-light. After it is turned on, the last temperature that is displayed after you have released the temperature increase or decrease button will be the preset temperature till the time you adjust it again.
  4. Next turn on the heat button by pressing it, a red light will glow. This shows the heating element is on. The vaporization process only develops when you turn on the heating element.
  5. As and when the vaporization chamber reaches the preset temperature, the heating element and the red indicator light turns off automatically. Start inhaling the vapor through the mouthpiece slowly and deeply for about 5-10 seconds. Hold the vapors inside your mouth and then slowly exhale them. The heat button should be kept pressed during inhalation in order to maintain the temperature that you set inside the vaporization chamber. You should also take note of one thing that when you draw cool air from the vaporization chamber, then the sensors installed inside the heating element will maintain the temperature that was set earlier. The user can see this process take place as when you start inhaling then the red light which earlier was shut off, will now be turned on. If you feel that the outside air is much cooler then set the temperature 10° or 20° higher than the outside temperature in order to compensate for the loss of heat.
  6. The temperature that is optimal to vaporize the herb or some other botanical substance is 180°C-200°C. Adequate vaporization also depends on the moisture content present in the herbs. The quality of the herbs also influence the vapors formed thereafter. Potency and essences available in the herbal material are some of the other factors that can modify the quality of the vapors formed. Exceeding the temperature of 230°C can lead to burning of the plant material as in vaporization nominal provides maximum experience. However, the user can conduct experiments with the amount and temperature settings corresponding to your preferences. Variety in temperature settings will also yield optimal vapors. Always remember that herbs are very likely to get incinerated above the temperature of 235°C.
  7. After using the unit, let it cool for sometime. Do not to attempt to take out the ceramic chamber immediately after using it since it can get extremely hot during the vaporization process. The heating temperature can reach up to 280°C and cause injury to skin if touched. The amount of time that you have to wait for the vaporizer to cool off is dependent on the temperature that you had set earlier. After the unit is warm to touch and has cooled off, only then remove it and blow out the residue that is left inside the chamber. If the constituent remains attached then scrape it off with the help of a brush or tweezers. In case you have used an essential oil then replace the cotton insert. It is recommended that you leave the Volatizer vaporizer to cool off after every use.
  8. The required ‘buzz’ from inhaling vapors is also dependent on the number of inhalations that you take. This in turn is dependent on the number of essences and flavors that are present in a herb. Sometime, one can reach the required point within 2 draws and other times it may require multiple inhalations. The same can be said about temperature settings. The more variations you make in temperature settings, the more ranges you would have to choose from. It is all about finding your comfort level. Different herbs and oils have different vaporization temperatures, depending upon their chemical composition. Some oils such as camphor and mint vaporize at temperatures as low as 30°-60°C. However, in many other herbs, there will be ingredients which get vaporized only within the temperature range of 100°-150°C. Common medicinal herbs generally vaporize within the thermal range of 180°-210°C.
  9. In order to intensify your vaporizing experience, you can try increasing the temperature but the vapors formed thus will depend on the type of ingredients that would be present in the herb.

The vaporizer also warms the herbal substance and gives out the ingredients that are least harmful and do not cause any alarming side effects.

Follow the instructions below and be assured of an amazing experience

  1. Put the herbal material at the end closest to the dimple in the straight bowl. Now attach the end that is far from the dimple to the tubing. The dimple acts like a screen. If there is some difficulty in fitting the bowl into the tubing then submerge it into the boiling water for 3-5 seconds. It will make the bowl easily slip into the boiling water.
  2. Now slide the white retaining washer over the straight bowl, so that it touches the food-grade tubing.
  3. After this, very carefully insert the bowl in the top of the vaporizer. The bowl will continue to slip through until it touches the bottom of the heater. The washer should be positioned in a way that it prevents the bowl from directly touching the bottom heater. There should be a gap of 1/4″ from the heater.
  4. Now carefully plug in the cord to a power supply socket or car adapter or the optional battery pack. This cord should now be plugged into the power jack on the back of the vaporizer. The vaporizer now receiving power supply can be switched on.
  5. Turn the switch on. A light will illuminate.
  6. The Vaporizer has to be pre-heated for sometime. The lowest temperature of the Vapolution Vaporizer is at 6 O’clock and the highest is at 4 O’clock. After 5 minutes of pre-heating, turn the vaorizer to your preferred setting, usually the setting at 12 O’clock is recommended. One of the many advantages of a Vapolution Vaporizer is that it is designed to continue working for 8 hours without overheating or burning out. Experienced users leave the Vaporizer on at their preferred setting all the time.
  7. It is a usually advised that you should finely grind the herbs before loading them into the bowl. However, in case of a Vapolution Vaporizer, instead of grinding break up the plant pods in 1-3 small pieces. Roll the pods between your fingers and mold them into a pellet. Gently put the vapor pellet into the bowl. Do not make the pellet too big as then it will hamper the airflow and a good vapor would not be possible. If the pellet is too small then there is a very likely chance that it will fall out. Although loading is a procedure that requires practice but once learned, the vapor formed would be close to perfection.
  8. After loading the bowl, place the loaded material on top of the pre-heated vaporizer. Now slowly and steadily start drawing the vapors in. Keep on drawing the vapor until you are out of breath. Hold the vapor in and then exhale. A visible vapor will rise. Repeat this process for 3-7 times. The vapor produced also depends on the quality of your herbs and the temperature that you have set.

The safe zone on the vaporizer is the temperature setting at which rarely will the herbs burn. This safe zone is from 10 O’clock to 12 O’clock. A user should not divulge much from the safe zone temperature setting until he or she has acquired enough experience to handle higher temperature settings. The herbs change the their colors during the process of vaporization. It turns from golden to dark brown gradually and later if kept on heat for too long to a black pellet. It will turn black only on settings above 2 O’clock. This temperature can also cause vapor choke. Hence avoid this setting.

Blow through the tube for cleaning the vaporized herb. Keep the bowl into a receptacle and blow so that the residue gets collected into the receptacle and the tube becomes empty. Wait for 30 minutes to 1 minute for the bowl to cool.

Maintenance

Maintaining the Vaporizer is very significant and the efficiency of any vaporizer depends upon maintenance. Clean the bowls by submerging them into rubbing alcohol for 8-12 hours and rinse with warm water. After allowing the vaporizer to cool for 30 minutes and then put a Q-tip in rubbing alcohol and clean out the heater receptacle. You can repeat the procedure if necessary. A dry Q-tip should be used to clean out the residue that remains attached to it. The tube becomes yellow after use and hence should either be replaced or cut short. Maintaining the vaporizer is not as difficult as it might appear, only consistency is required. Consistent cleansing will lead to better and efficient performance of the Vaporizer.

Instructions for using Vapor Box

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

To use Vapor box for a completely exciting vaporization experience, one has to be aware of the best way to use it. Following are the necessary instructions that a user should follow in order to get the perfect puff.

1. Firstly, turn the heat knob to 12 O’ Clock and let the vapor box heat up for 5 minutes.

2. Crush the material very finely and put it into the glass bowl. Suck into the glass hand-piece by inhaling on the mouthpiece. Do not overload, only put about 1/3 or less of the volume of bowl. It should just touch the screen.

3. Next, touch the Pyrex tip to the glass slipper that covers the iron, holding it there, take steady puffs and simultaneously release the Pyrex tip from the point. This will clear the tube. Make sure that you do not draw too slowly because if the iron is too hot, it will make substance catch fire. If such a situation arises then quickly turn down the temperature and repack with fresh material. You can change various settings to find a suitable temperature and ideal speed for drawing puffs.

4. Always check the material, after you have taken in a draw. If it is darkened or blackened, then turn down the temperature by turning the knob or start inhaling faster. If a puff isn’t coming then increase the temperature or start inhaling slowly. The puff might not produce the same strong sensation and may even be very light. This is because the essence might have slipped into a thin and cool oil mist, which is only visible under a light source. However, certain people prefer a very strong, full-bodied, smoky puff. If you continue smoking, then you will notice that the herbal essence has deprecated into a thin mist. From here there is no point of extracting the smoke through worn out material but better to prepare for the next exciting vaporizing experience.

5. Dispose off the material that is present in the hand-piece into a bottle or a plastic container. If some residue still remains in the tip, expel it using the stir tool.

Stirring between puffs, distributing heat evenly and equally, rotating the bowl or the chamber, adopting different speeds and rates of inhaling and experimenting, can actually accentuate your vaporizing experience. So try different things while vaporizing but not too radical. Moisture content in the substance, size of the material and length of the glass bowl and tube are some of the other factors that influence vaporization.

Maintenance

It is very important to clean the various components of a Vapor Box, vaporizer. This practice helps in the maintenance of the vaporizer. The three basic parts that should be focused upon are glass, tube and screen. All these parts should be pulled apart from each other and cleaned. In the Deluxe Model, the screen can be unscrewed from the metal top piece. For those having the old Model Hand-piece gently push up the screen of the top end using an unfolded paper clip from the bottom end.

If your screen has completely worn out or the tube has depleted then they can be purchased from a hardware store. For the screen, make sure you buy a thin gauge screen and for the tube the inner diameter should be 7/16” and the outer should be 5/16”. Other sizes that perfectly make an airtight seal with the glass will do just fine. If the tube does not fit into the glass then run it under hot water for 30 seconds to make it flexible, which occurs due to softening of the vinyl.

  2. Finely grind the material to get the best results. Turn the Vapor Tower glass hand-kit to load the herbal substance into the metal fitting of the bowl. Never overfill the chamber and only load it enough that it is just from the covering of the screen.
  3. Cautiously put the hand-kit back together and avoid any spilling of the herbal material. If the hand-kit is fully loaded then do not screw it completely, but if it is loaded lightly then fit it completely.
  4. Now insert the hand-kit back to the Vapor Tower and start by puffing fast and slow. It is important to begin fast but gradually slow down the rate of inhalation as it will help you draw hotter and stronger puffs. For every fast toke, take a short and slow puff. Keep on innovating with the method and changing the knob until you find the most suitable temperature and your ideal puff range.
  5. Now very carefully remove the hand-kit and look into the material. If the material is blackened then turn the knob or start drawing faster. The glass and the metal parts would be very hot, so be extra careful in handling the apparatus. If you still do not get a swoop of air, then turn up temperature a little and draw in very slowly. It may not appear as if you have got a puff as by now it must have dissipated to a cool clear oil mist, which is only seen when blown against a light source. After constantly using the vapor tower, you would notice that material has exhausted and has become devoid off its essential oils.
  6. Unscrew the hand-kit, after all the material has been utilized. Expel the resin or the residue of the substance by turning the bowl upside down. You can also use the stir instrument to scrape off the material that is stuck to the sides. Be careful not to lose the silicone rubber O-ring or screen.

Maintaining a Vapor Tower

It does not involve any elaborate procedures. One only has to pull glass, screen and the tubing apart to clean them separately. To clean the screen, one has to hold it over a flame and burn off all the residue that is left on it. For the glass, if there is a buildup, then only put the hand-piece in alcohol overnight. The silicone tubing can be washed under hot water or purchased from a hardware store of size 7/16” inner diameter and 5/6” outer diameter. Other sizes that easily fit and make an air tight seal with the glass would also be fine.

Techniques to increase the efficiency of a Vapor Box

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Many people have become acquainted with the techniques involved in Vaporization. They are also familiar with the procedure which is to be followed when using a Vapor Box. However, there are still some finer points that people indulged in vaporization are not aware of. These things might not seem to be significant but can actually affect the performance of a vaporizer.

1. It is always good to stir the bowl between inhaling and hits with the poker. Be careful not to break the screen with the poker. Also, to cook the material more thoroughly, shuffle through and change the part of it, which has received the hot air first.

2. Another way of improving the inhaling experience is by rotating the glass bowl along its long axis, while taking a toke. This becomes very helpful in making the heat rise up to the top edge of the bowl. Speed of drawing the air in has to be balanced by the rotation of the glass bowl, in order to check which speed suits you best. Generally, if you are rotating too fast then you draw in a bit slowly. It basically depends from person to person.

3. One more change in the way you draw the smoke in, can increase the efficiency of a vaporizer and subsequently give you a better hit. When you inhale the heat in, you are inevitably taking the heat off of the vaporizer, which will result in it cooling off for sometime until it gets heated up. As a result, a gap is created between the hits and the time it takes to get heated again. Therefore, draw faster in the beginning but slow down towards the end, so that a vaporizer does not get time to cool down. It takes time to learn this technique but eventually, it will help you get a higher buzz.

4. Experimenting a little like putting the vapor through water or over ice can also help you get a variety in your vaporizing experience.

5. A 12-volt and a power converter is recommended for making it more portable.

6. The size of the material should be very small and fine. It should be properly grounded. Length of the bowl and moisture content in the herbal substance can also effect the performance of a vaporizer.

7. The residue left after the use of a substance is devoid of all the relevant oils and essences, but it may include a small percentage. Hence, if you are interested enough then you can extract even the remaining percentage of essences. However, it is rarely recommended due to the risk involved, as the residue is generally burned out.

Maintaining the Vapor Box

We are all aware of the advantages of vaporization but how many of us know how to effectively maintain a vaporizer? Following are some measures that you can take to maintain your vaporizer for a long time and preserve it.

1. Depending on the frequency of use, the glass, screen and tubing should be cleaned regularly. It is very easy to do this as the glass can be pulled out of the tubing and screen can be pierced through. To completely wipe out the screen off the residue or resin that it is left, simply burn it by putting a lighter to it.

2. There is no harm in reusing the screen and should replaced only when it is broken or lost. Replace it with a very fine gauge screen.

3. Clean the tube and glass by pouring hot water through them from the mouthpiece. If there is a buildup then soak the hand-piece in alcohol overnight.

One can replace the tubing at any hardware store. The tube should be a clear vinyl tubing sized 1/4” inner diameter and 3/8” outer diameter. Other sizes can be used if they make an airtight seal with the glass. The tubing can be softened by putting it under hot water for 30 seconds. It will make it more flexible.

Directions to use Vapor Box

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Step 1
Let the Vaporizer heat for 3-10 minutes by turning the heating element Depending on your personal requirements and preference, turn back about 1/8. Simultaneously prepare your herbal mixture, which should be fine as possible, in order to get the best results.

Step 2
Pulverize the material and put it into the bowl. Do not stuff more material than it can hold. It should be approximately 1/3of the bowl volume. Pack down the material using a pen or a pencil. If you overload it then it will obstruct the airflow, leading to overcooked or even burned bowls. Suck up from the tip of the glass hand-piece by inhaling from the tube.

Step 3
Next step is to check the iron, which should have a dim red glow. If it has some other glow other than dim red glow, like a bright orange then turn the Vaporizer off for 10 seconds and reset the maximum until the glow dims to a dull red. Now touch the pyrex tip to the glass slipper covering the iron. Holding it there, steadily release the pyrex tip from the element, so as to clear the tube. However, be very careful about how slow or fast you draw because if you are drawing too slow or the iron is too hot, then the material may catch fire. If it happens then blow out quickly and re-arrange with fresh material.

In order to get a proper kind of ‘high’ or ‘buzz’, it is important to note the color changes of the content in the glass slipper. If you are not getting a proper hit, then turn the knob down or start drawing a little faster. The smoky hits and the buzz depends on the preference of the people, so they arrange the set up accordingly. If the material is exhausting then it will indicate by decreasing into a thin blue disappearing smoke. This means that the essential components of the oil or the herbal substances have been exhausted. It is advised that the material you use is dried and not moist, as then it may not work as efficiently.

Step 4
To get a quick hot air vaporization, carefully slide the bowl over the heating element and start inhaling through the whip. Turn off the unit, when finished.

Use the vaporizer properly and enjoy the perfect vaporization experience.

Clean the mouthpiece with alcohol or hot water. Regularly, take out the aluminum strainer and clean it with alcohol. The wooden cone will collect the residue that has been scraped off. Keep the wooden cap and mouthpiece into acetone for cleansing.

Points to remember

  • A Vapman only works with a jet-flame lighter.
  • Wooden casing is provided so as to avoid any burning that might be caused.

Vapor Genie Instructions

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Vapor Genie is an incredible device which is very easy to use. It provides users the ultimate vaporization experience. The vaporizer pipe is specially designed for the user to inhale natural ingredients without having to worry about the harmful components of the herb that might be dangerous to the user. The Vapor Genie gently warms the herbal substance without burning it and thus resulting in a fragrant and flavored vapor for the user to inhale.

Following are the instruction that you should follow while using the Vapor Genie.

  1. Finely shred the tobacco and sprinkle it loosely on the bowl. If you pack the tobacco tightly then it may cause trouble as shredded tobacco has more surface area that aids the vaporization process. Also overloading the bowl can cause burning.
  2. Now connect the flame filter onto the bowl by screwing it. However, be careful that you do not screw it too tightly.
  3. Next step is to supply flames to the flame filter. As you supply the flames make sure that you are simultaneously inhaling the vapors. A conventional 1 inch lighter flame is perfectly suitable for the Vapor Genie. To heat the vaporizer uniformly make sure that you move the flame around. Using a bigger lighter might help. Be careful that you don not touch the ceramic filter as it will create soot which can clutter the filter and give you a bad taste.
  4. Remember to inhale slowly and steadily if the flame is small. If the flame is large then inhale a little faster.
  5. The temperature can be regulated by balancing the rate of inhalation with the intensity of the flame that is being supplied to the vaporizer. Increase the temperature by providing a larger flame and for decreasing the temperature supply a small flame. If you inhale slowly then the temperature will of the vaporizer will become high.
  6. The best way to judge the quality of vapors that you inhale is to concentrate on the flavor and the sensations that you are experiencing. Accordingly you can adjust the flame application that you have been applying. Also exhale in between. A bluish colored vapor will be expelled out, which is normal.
  7. Do not forget to stir and rearrange the tobacco during inhalation. A small amount of tar might be produced in the end, or debris might be informed. Frequently clean out the debris from the screen and the bowl.

How to Maintain the Vapor Genie
Always take care that the flame never reaches the ceramic filter. It can lead to deposition of soot on the bowl and the ceramic filter. However, soot if deposited can be removed by pouring hot boiling water onto the ceramic filter. Keep pouring the water until no soot remains. Other option is to burn off the soot using a blue flame windproof lighter. To clean out the soot, direct the flame towards the soot deposits and suck the air through the filter. The filter can be heated till 30-60 seconds. Another caution that one needs to undertake is that of not screwing the filter too tightly! It might damage your Vapor Genie.

Enjoy and puff away with the Vapor Genie in a healthy way.
