After cleaning, the vapor may taste different because residues and aromas have been removed. If you have used isopropyl alcohol for cleaning, ensure that all parts are completely dry. The taste will return to normal after a few sessions—be sure to use only high-quality herbs.

Barely visible vapor can have various causes, including too low a temperature, unsuitable herbs, or incorrect inhalation technique. Some herbs naturally produce less visible vapor but are still effective.

Here's how to solve the problem:

• Increase the temperature to 180-200 °C to produce more visible steam. At very low temperatures, mainly aromas and light ingredients evaporate, which are hardly visible.
• Finely chop the herbs so that they vaporize evenly, but do not press them too tightly into the chamber, as this can block the airflow.
• Avoid damp herbs, as these do not vaporize as well. Make sure that the herbs are dry and crumbly.

💡 Tip: Some users expect the vapor to look similar to cigarette smoke. However, vaporization produces clean clouds of vapor that are often less visible but contain fewer harmful substances.

If material remains unvaporized in the chamber, this may be due to the temperature setting being too low. Ensure that the temperature is high enough for the material being used. An overfilled chamber can also prevent the material from vaporizing evenly. Make sure that the chamber is loosely filled and allows sufficient air circulation. Material that is too moist or coarsely ground can also hinder vaporization. Use well-dried and finely ground material.

Solutions:

• Increase the temperature if necessary.
• Do not overfill the chamber and ensure that it is loosely filled.
• Use well-dried and finely ground material.
• Clean the chamber and heating components regularly.

If the problem persists, repair may be necessary.

Seals should be replaced if they:

• Show cracks or deformations.
• Have become brittle or can no longer be inserted properly.
• Remain sticky even after thorough cleaning.
  Damaged seals impair airflow and can lead to leaks.

• Smell: Strong and long-lasting.

Medical concentrates are often more strictly tested and contain specific cannabinoid profiles that target specific conditions. Recreational concentrates are more focused on taste and experience, with less emphasis on medical effects.

An herbal vaporizer vaporizes dried plant materials such as flowers, while a concentrate vaporizer is specifically designed for liquid or solid concentrates such as wax, shatter, or rosin. Some devices offer dual-use functions to utilize both.

Good to know: The Dab Pen Mini and the Terp Pen are concentrate vapor izers. The Hammah is an herbal vaporizer, and the RELICT is an herbal vaporizer that you can use with the concentrate inserts .

Yes, regular cleaning ensures that you get a pure and intense flavor. Residues from previous sessions can distort the taste. It is particularly important to keep screens, airways, and mouthpieces clean.
A dirty heating chamber can also affect the taste. A clean vaporizer guarantees the best aroma from your herbs.

Do not use your vaporizer in the rain or in humid environments, as the electronics are sensitive to moisture. If you are vaping outdoors, make sure that the vaporizer does not get wet. Protective covers are a good option for traveling, as they protect the device from moisture and impact.

No, it is not advisable to use the vaporizer near children or pets. The vapor contains active substances that children could accidentally inhale.
💡 Tip: Keep your vaporizer out of the reach of children and make sure that the device is stored safely after use.

Yes, you can charge most portable vaporizers with a power bank if they have a USB port. However, make sure that the voltage and power of the power bank are compatible with the vaporizer. Do not use cheap or unknown power banks, as these can cause voltage fluctuations that damage the battery.

No, it is not advisable to leave the vaporizer unattended, as this poses safety risks. Vaporizers reach high temperatures, and a tipped-over device could damage surfaces or come into contact with flammable materials. There is also a risk of the vaporizer overheating, especially if the heating chamber is clogged.

💡 Tip:
Many modern vaporizers have an automatic shut-off function. This turns the device off after a certain amount of time to prevent overheating. Check whether your vaporizer supports this function and make sure it is activated.

No, once herbs have been vaporized, they are generally no longer effective.
Vaporized herbs are:

• Dry and brown.
• Tasteless.
  However, there are some users who use the leftovers for tea or for further processing.

No, not all vaporizers offer the option of individually adjusting the temperature.

• 
  Models such as the Relict allow for precise settings so that you can adjust the temperature to suit your needs.
• Vaporizers without temperature control:
  Simpler devices have preset temperatures and are easier to use, but offer less flexibility.

You can fix minor problems such as clogged filters or dirty contacts yourself. However, for more serious defects such as a faulty heating element or broken buttons, you should contact the manufacturer's support service. Attempting to repair the appliance yourself may void the warranty, so only repair what is safe to do according to the instructions.

Only if the vaporizer has a special chamber for concentrates. Normal herbal vaporizers without this feature are not suitable, as concentrates vaporize at higher temperatures and could leave residues in the device.

TIP: For the RELICT , there are special concentrate inserts and extract padsthat allow you to vaporize concentrates with a "normal" herbal vaporizer.

No, you cannot use every mouthpiece with every vaporizer. Mouthpieces are model-specific and must fit the respective device exactly in order to seal securely and deliver optimal vapor quality.

Some vaporizers, such as the RELICT , offer interchangeable mouthpieces. These can be selected individually to optimize the vaping experience.

💡 Tip: Always use the mouthpieces recommended by the manufacturer to ensure the functionality and hygiene of your vaporizer.

Yes, parts such as mouthpieces, screens, and seals can be cleaned with warm water. However, electronic parts or heating chambers should never be immersed in water. Make sure that all cleaned parts are completely dry before reassembling the vaporizer.

Yes, you can carry your vaporizer in your carry-on luggage, but there are important rules to follow:

1. Only permitted in carry-on baggage
   Vaporizers and their batteries must always be carried in your carry-on baggage. Lithium-ion batteries may not be stored in checked baggage as they pose a fire hazard.
2. 
   If possible, you should remove the battery from the vaporizer and store both separately in your carry-on luggage.
3. Do not take herbs or concentrates with you
   Carrying herbs, concentrates, or oils can be problematic in many countries. There are strict rules regarding the import of plant products or substances that could be considered illegal. Empty devices, on the other hand, are usually not a problem.
4. Deactivate before flying
   Ensure that the vaporizer is turned off before flying to prevent it from accidentally turning on during the flight.

The screens should be replaced if they are damaged, clogged, or discolored and can no longer be cleaned. A clogged screen impairs airflow and can negatively affect the taste. Regular replacement of the screens ensures a clean and intense vaping experience.

Convection:
The material is heated by a hot air stream without direct contact with the heat source. This ensures even heating and preserves the flavor.

Conduction:
The material is in direct contact with the heat source, enabling rapid heating. The RELICT combines conduction with a dual heating system, which increases efficiency and guarantees even vaporization.

Each method has its advantages—convection for pure flavor, conduction for quick use. Hybrids like the Hammah combine both systems!

Hybrid heating combines the advantages of conduction (direct heat transfer) and convection (heating by hot air). This heats the material more efficiently, improves steam quality, and reduces heating time.

Vaporizers such as the Hamah Vaporizer and the Voity use this technology and offer an optimal balance between taste, efficiency, and user-friendliness.

The steam decreases towards the end of the session because most of the active ingredients have already evaporated. Once the herbs are dry and brown, the active ingredients have been extracted. You can prolong the session by gradually increasing the temperature or stirring the herbs gently.

At lower temperatures, only the lighter ingredients in the herbs evaporate, producing less vapor. For denser clouds of vapor, you should gradually increase the temperature without burning the herbs.

If the vaporizer produces less vapor, this is often due to clogged screens, poor air circulation, or insufficiently heated herbs. Clean the screens and the heating chamber thoroughly and check whether the herbs are properly crushed and loosely filled into the chamber. In addition, too low a temperature can reduce the amount of vapor—set the temperature slightly higher.

Regular cleaning ensures that your vaporizer remains hygienic and always delivers the best vapor quality. Residues from herbs or concentrates can affect the taste, block the airflow, and reduce the device's service life. Clean devices also ensure a more intense aroma and even vaporization.
