How to Use Your VaporGenie

Using the VaporGenie is easy! Follow these steps:

1.    Load the bowl with loose shredded tobacco. DO NOT PACK! Shredded tobacco has a high surface area that aids the vaporization process. 

2.    Screw the flame filter onto the bowl. Do not screw it tightly.

3.    Inhale constantly while supplying flame to the flame filter. It is important to inhale constantly. The VaporGenie works best with a conventional lighter flame about 1 inch tall. It is helpful to move the flame around to get the most uniform heating. We recommend using a Bic lighter.  Do not touch the flame to the ceramic filter. This is important because touching the flame to the ceramic filter will create soot that can eventually clog the filter. Soot will also create a bad taste.  

Always remember:

1) With a small flame, inhale slowly.

2) With a large flame, inhale a little faster.

3) Do not touch the flame to the ceramic filter.

The idea is to balance the flame size with the rate of inhalation so you get the right temperature. The temperature can be varied in two ways: 1) Applying more or less flame. Flame can be applied in pulses. 2) Inhaling faster or slower. Inhaling slower produces hotter temperatures.

If you don't feel like you are inhaling anything, then the temperature is too low. So...inhale slower, or use a bigger flame.

If you inhale smoke, or taste a burned flavor, then the temperature is too high. So...inhale faster, or use a smaller flame.
