Please read The Vaporite instruction sheet first.
HOW TO USE THE VAPORITE:
1. The Vaporite is a passive hot air unit that works as you inhale. The exact temperature will vary, depending
on what you are putting in it, the temperature and humidity of the room, etc. Experiment with different heat
levels to find what is best for you. If any browning occurs or smoke is produced, you are running the unit too
hot. To start, switch the unit on and adjust the temperature so the display reads around 280-300 degrees F
(140-150 C).
VR001&2: The red light on the front of the unit will glow as the element is heating up, and will switch off once
it has reached the specified heat level. The red light will occasionally switch on or off, as the thermostat
operates.
VR003: The unit will "beep" when it is ready to use. The fan will turn on, assisting you to inhale, and soon
after causing the temperature to drop, giving you time to refill the chamber, and be ready for the next beep.
2. Chop up your herbs using a grinder - the finer, the better. Put a pinch in the hose's glass chamber, at the
end marked "HOT". Use enough so it covers the screen, but not so much that it will touch the heating rod.
Experiment to find your ideal amount - we find it's better to put in less than more. Don't tamp it down. When
the unit has reached the set temperature, gently slide the chamber onto the glass heating rod in the unit and
take a long slow draw. If this is not effective, raise the set temperature by 10 degrees and try again. Keep
doing this until you reach an effective temperature. Don't start with a higher temperature, as it could burn
your herbs.
3. A light, long, inhalation is best. Sucking harder draws the hot air though the herbs more quickly, giving
resins less time to evaporate. The vapour is almost invisible but you should see some wisps of it swirling in
the glass chamber. The herbs are done when the vapour no longer tastes nice and begins to taste cooked,
like toast or popcorn. Gently tip the herbs out (don't tap the glass end against your ashtray!). They should be
dry and crumbly.
IMPORTANT: Any browning or burning of the herbs, or smoke or tar build-up in the hose, indicates burning
and is an incorrect use of the appliance. Turn the temperature down and try again. If used correctly, no tar
will form in the hose.
CAUTION! The heating rod and the whip's glass chamber (both marked HOT) can get very hot with
sustained use and should not be handled directly.
CLEANING: if used correctly the Vaporite will not produce any tar and the whip and screen will never need
cleaning. If you want to clean the whip, swirl some isopropyl alcohol or meths around and through it. The
gauze (screen) is intended to be permanent. If you do need to change it, soak the plastic hose in hot water
to loosen it from the glass, and remove the existing screen. Insert a chopstick into the hose end of the
chamber, to act as a "backstop". Push in a fresh screen from the end marked "HOT", using the chopstick to
stop it going through.
SPARE PARTS: Whips, mouthpieces, and heating rods are available. Please check with the store you
purchased your Vaporite from.
