Safety Instructions

• Be very careful when the SSV is turned on. The SSV gets HOT, and the heater (glass and ceramic) gets really, really hot and will burn you very bad if you touch it! Do not touch the heater for any reason when the SSV is turned on, it is extremely HOT!

• Keep the SSV away from combustible materials including but not limited to paper, plastic and fabric or anything else you might think could catch fire.
• Do not place the SSV where it can be tipped or could fall over.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never leave unattended with a child in the vicinity.
• Do not let hair or any loose clothing come in contact with the heat source as it may catch fire.

Thanks for the purchase of the SSV!

You have made a wise purchase. This SSV unit contains a ceramic heating element that has been engineered to last longer, get hotter, and reach the desired temperature faster than any other heating element on the market. The SSV is the best vaporizer on the market. It is a piece of functional artwork and will last longer than any other unit out there. Like any heating element the ceramic heater will go out eventually, it can’t last forever. Your SSV is the only wand vaporizer to offer the quick change wand. This helps cut down on the time and frustration when the time comes to change the screen. The SSV is also able to diffuse essential oils and vaporize at the same time. Now the SSV can also become hands free with the attachment accessory. If you ever have any suggestions for improvements we welcome your opinions and advice!

How it works

Briefly, the vaporizer allows a person to inhale essential ingredients from material without the use of fire. The Silver Surfer vaporizer uses hot air to warm the plant matter until active ingredients are heated high enough until they boil, vaporize and are absorbed by the air. Instead of using fire to burn the ingredients out of the plant matter, our product releases the ingredients quickly and efficiently without ingredient losses, tar, and odor associated with smoking.

The Silver Surfer vaporizer warms up once and is ready for the rest of the day as long as it is supervised. The glass hand piece (wand) is packed lightly, not more than 1/3 full, or around 1/4 inch. As soon as the hand piece (wand) is connected with the heating element of the vaporizer, the user inhales instant vapor through the tube! Vapor goes in clear and is exhaled as a big cloud of white mist. Your lungs are saved as they are not inhaling the plant ash and tar. The standard size hand piece offers about 4-7 big inhales before the material dries and becomes brown. Stir it up and try again or unload the hand piece. The user blows through the tube to expel the spent material into a container or trash.

Getting the right vapor draw is a science. Silver Surfer owners learn their machine in about 1 week (usually less). Get used to packing very small amounts, fluffed up slightly. We recommend the following procedure:

Step 1: Turn on the Silver Surfer unit to full power for 2-3 minutes (there will be a red/orange glow within a minute but the glass needs to heat up also). Do not turn the knob up more than 320 degrees, or off more than the click as this will damage the temperature controller. On the first initial start up wait ten minutes for any oils to burn off of the heating element. The smoke is from hand oils and other oils from manufacturing.

Step 2: Turn the SSV’s power back about 1/4-1/2 the full power and the unit should be ready to use all day. For the first use you should try a lower setting and gradually turn the SSV up until vaporization occurs. This will insure that you do not have the SSV turned up to high and catch your matter on fire. After some use, you will be able to find a perfect setting for the SSV. Do not let your materials turn black as this is combustion and that is not what you want.

Step 3: Grind up while the unit is heating. You can use a grinder, knife or fingers, but make sure that the material is broken up. We recommend using `SSV grinder that you can get on our website if you do not already have one.

Step 4: Place into the wand like FIG. 1. You can accomplish this by using your fingers and putting it in or sucking up the ground through the wand. Do not fill the wand too much (1/3” or around 1/4 inch full is the maximum you want to put in there). You can use as little or as much as you like. Try not to fill the wand so much that when you vaporize the tobacco is touching the hand blown glass heater cover. NOTE: You do not need to use much material here. I recommend placing enough in the wand to cover the screen with about 1/8-1/4 of an inch of material. Don't sweat it, you will figure it out quickly.

Step 5: Place the whip up to the heating element and inhale air (draw) a full breath. If when you exhale you see a white mist, you are in the zone you want to be. If there is no mist, inhale more slowly or turn up the SSV unit a little bit. You can control the amount of vapor created by varying the intensity and duration of air you inhale. Inhaling slower lets the air pass by the heater longer increasing the temperature of the air. The faster you inhale the less time air is heated so the air is a little cooler. Practice makes perfect. This is one reason there are no numbers because every user inhales different and I believe you are intelligent enough to remember your preferred temperature location.

Step 6: Make sure that you are not inhaling too slowly or the unit is too hot. The tobacco that you are vaporizing will catch fire. If the material is black it might be turned up a little too high. You’ll get the hang of it!

Step 7: Some day you will need to clean your screen. This is a much less painful ordeal than it used to be until the new patent pending quick change wand. First, get your screen out with the supplied pick. You can also use a longer rod to push the screen out from the back, but it should come out from the front. To put in your new screen, put the screen in the front of the wand and push it down with your pick towards the hour glass shape in the quick change wand. When you get to the bottom do not push it, but rather flip the screen. When you flip the screen it enables the screen to catch the lip in the wand. Then just push the other side down and it will pop into place. Just remember to FLIP IT! The first time may take a little longer but you will get the hang of it and be able to put in a new screen in seconds.
