6. THE USE OF DRONABINOL
Screw on Filling Chamber Cap
Suitable for vaporizing small
amounts of dronabinol (THC),
is the Filling Chamber Reduc-
er, which is available as an accessory,
along with the small Liquid Pads and
the Dosing Capsules. The Filling
Chamber Reducer is inserted instead
of the Filling Chamber Cylinder (see
Chapter 9.5. "Disassembling and As-
sembling the Filling Chamber", page
42).
Either the small Liquid Pad (meas-
urements 15 x 5 mm) or the Dosing
Capsule containing a Liquid Pad
(measurements 13 x 6 mm) are to
be inserted into the Filling Chamber
Reducer.
Insert either a small Liquid Pad directly into
the Filling Chamber Reducer or a Dosing
Capsule equipped with a Liquid Pad
Please make sure to not overfill the
Liquid Pad. It can contain up to 5
drops.
Dronabinol (THC) is available as an
alcoholic solution.
The advantage of this is that the liquid
is distributed more equally around the
stainless steel wire of the Liquid Pad,
yielding a larger surface area that can
be vaporized.
However, the alcohol must first be
separated from the dronabinol, as al-
cohol should not be inhaled.
Press the "HEAT" button set tempera-
ture to 100°C (212°F) and allow the
device to heat up.
When the temperature has reached
100°C (212°F), place the Filling
Chamber with Cap and Liquid Pad
onto the Hot Air Generator and make
sure it clicks into place.
Then press the "AIR" button to pump
air through the Liquid Pad.
The dronabinol does not vaporize
at this temperature, but the alcohol
evaporates quickly (within 30 sec.).
Since alcohol has a characteristic
odor, you can easily determine by
smelling whether the Filling Chamber
is alcohol free. Dronabinol has nei-
ther odor nor taste.

6. THE USE OF DRONABINOL
Separate alcohol
When the Filling Chamber is free of
alcohol, press the "AIR" button again
to switch off the airflow.
The dronabinol, which evaporates
only at higher temperatures – over
157°C (315°F), remains in the Liquid
Pad.
Next remove the Filling Chamber,
press the heat button again and set
the temperature to 210°C (410°F) and
continue heating.
The dronabinol is vaporized in
the first few seconds of filling
the Valve Balloon.
However you should continue filling
the Valve Ballon (approx. 35 sec.) as
the additional air dilutes the aerosol,
which makes inhalation easier, espe-
cially for higher dosages.
When the temperature reaches 210°C
(410°F), place the Filling Chamber
and then the Valve Balloon on and al-
low them to click in place. This opens
the Valve.
Stretch the Valve Balloon tight before
setting it onto the Filling Chamber so
that when filling, the Valve Balloon
sits upright on the Hot Air Generator.
Press the "AIR" button. The Valve
Balloon will now fill with dronabinol
aerosol.
