Operating Instructions Please read all instructions and suggestions to get the best experience from your vaporizer
1. Inspect the Zephyr Ion Vaporizer and plug in the unit When the unit is plugged in, the ‘Power’ LED and the LCD screen will glow red. This is to show that the unit has power, although the unit will not be on. WARNING: Before plugging in the unit, inspect it for any obvious damage that might have occurred during shipping. If the protective housing or power cord show any cracks or damage, do not plug in the unit. The Ion is designed to be used on a heat-resistant solid surface.
2. Set the temperature, and pre-heat the unit Turn the unit on by pressing the ‘Power’ button once. The power LED will change to green to show that the heating element is on. The LCD screen will remain red and the desired temperature will flash as the unit is heating up. Once the unit has reached the desired temperature the LCD screen will turn green. The default temperature is 360°F. To set your desired temperature use the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons.
3. Prepare the vaporizable material and fill the basket To prepare your vaporizable material, you should first grind the material and then place it loosely in the basket. You can fill the basket as little or as much as you like. Typically, we recommend filling the basket between 1/3 and 1/2 full. The goal when grinding your vaporizable material is to create as much surface area as possible for the hot air to flow over, so grind finely to maximize surface area and vapor.
4. Load the basket into unit Once the desired temperature has been reached (the Ion’s LCD screen turns green), open the lid of the Ion and place the basket in the basket holder. Make sure that it is sitting flat before attempting to close the lid. The lid will close easily when the basket is seated correctly. Forcing the lid against an improperly positioned basket could damage the unit. If you drop debris into the basket holder, it may prevent the basket from seating properly.
5. Familiarize yourself with the valve The Zephyr Ion uses a bag to collect vapor before inhaling. The bag method is widely preferred as the best method for enjoying vapor. Collecting the vapor in a bag allows the vapor to cool before inhaling so it feels smoother. The bag also allows the user to enjoy vapor without being attached to the vaporizer unit. The Zephyr Ion Valve (patent-pending) is an easy to use push button design. Press the valve button firmly to open the valve.
6. Fill a Bag with Vapor Press the ‘Air’ button to start the air flow and wait about 5 seconds before sliding the valve/bag attachment onto the air straw (it takes about 5 seconds for the material to heat up and begin to create vapor). When the bag begins to reach capacity, turn the air flow off by pressing the 'air' button again. Then remove the valve/bag attachment and also remove the basket from the basket holder.
7. Inhale the vapor To inhale vapor, press the valve button and hold the mouthpiece of the valve against your lips. Inhale. Vapor potency will decrease the longer it is left in the bag. Note: Once a bag is filled with Vapor, we recommend using it within 30 minutes for best results. Instead of using all of the vapor at once, many people enjoy the ability to inhale slowly over time using our bag/valve system. 8.
9. Shutdown / Automatic Shutdown When you are done using the Ion, turn the unit off by pushing the power button. For safety reasons, we recommend unplugging the unit when it is not in use. The Zephyr Ion has an automatic shutoff safety feature. The default shutoff time is 1 hour (60 minutes). The shutoff timer will re-start from the last time you press any of the buttons on the Ion. You can adjust this automatic shutoff time by pressing the air button and the ‘+’ button at the same time.
Cleaning For smooth operation, we recommend keeping your vaporizer free from dust and debris. When the unit is unplugged and cooled, carefully brush or blow off any areas that have gathered debris. Excess debris can restrict airflow, and cause your vaporizer to work poorly. Regularly check the screen at the top of the basket holder, the screen at the bottom of the basket, the screen at the base of the straw, and the air filter on the bottom of the unit. Ensure that all of these airways are clear.
