Instructions for use of the Tester
- Crumble your plants or resins
- Fill the inhalation tube on the bowl side to a maximum of 1 to 1.5 cm
- Do not pack
- Close with the heating head
In this case it is possible that fine particles of plant material reach the mouth.
To avoid this, think of doing a first soft suction and suck gently afterwards, you should not have any more particles during the following inhalations.
- No grid is necessary to use the Tester to get the best flavour, if you wish you can equip yourself with grids. The grid is placed at the bottom of the bowl against the glass stop pins.
Several types of heaters are possible according to your expectations:
For the best flavour, please use the gentle heat.
Always keep in mind that with a spray bottle :
- the more gently you suck in, the hotter the air and the more inhalation you get
- the harder you inhale, the less chance the cold air that enters the vaporizer has to heat up. The puff will be smaller and softer.
Quick heat:
- Bring the Tester to your mouth and start inhaling while heating your head.
- With your flame, while making short trips back and forth along the heating head, make sure that the flame passes well behind the hole.
- The more you keep the flame just behind and close to the hole, the hotter the air will be and the faster the vaporization.
Vapour will begin to form rapidly upon inhalation. - Stop heating when you want and then take a few puffs if you want and as long as the glass is hot enough.
- Repeat the heating process as often as necessary.
Be careful, as soon as you see your plants turn dark brown you are at the maximum temperature, you must stop heating.
- If you vaporize by putting the flame directly in front of the hole, the heating will be really fast with risk of sub-combustion.
Intermediate heating :
- Preferably with a double-flame lighter or a single torch.
- Heat the heating head for 20 sec by moving it back and forth and rotating the Tester between your fingers.
- Put the Tester in your mouth and start inhaling.
Then, if necessary, inhale while making short trips back and forth along the heating head and make sure that the flame passes well in front of the hole
The longer you keep the flame behind and close to the hole, the hotter the air will be and the faster the vaporization. - The steam will start to build up.
- Stop heating when you want and then take a few puffs if you want and as long as the glass is hot enough.
- Repeat the heating process as often as necessary.
- Be careful, as soon as you see your plants turn dark brown you are at the maximum temperature, you must stop heating.
Soft and powerful heating - the most efficient for a very homogeneous and strong extraction.
- With a triple-flame lighter or a torch is mandatory.
- Heat the heating head for 20 sec by moving it back and forth and rotating the Tester between your fingers.
- Then heat the part of the glass around your plants for 2 to 3 seconds while continuing to rotate the Tester between your fingers.
- Bring the Tester to your mouth and start inhaling as softly as possible for a big puff, or hard to be lower in temperature.
- You can repeat this operation as often as you like.
- Be careful, as soon as you see your plants turn dark brown you are at the maximum temperature, you must stop heating.
Advanced technique:
- For an even more homogeneous and strong heating, after heating the heating head, you can heat the glass at the level of the plants for a few seconds (2 to 3).
- You can heat during inhalation but be aware that this will increase the heating rate by conduction if it is against the wall of the bowl, and will increase the heating by convection if it is via the hole of the heating head
- Take your time to get to know the Tester. Your goal is to avoid any black color in your plants.
- For an easier control of the heating, but a certain loss of flavour, you can use a DynaVap Tip and a DynaVap Cap on your Tester Katalyzer.
