Vapir Oxygen Mini-Vaporizer Cleaning

Vaporizers are a way of releasing the essence of plants, without igniting the plant material. If the herbs or flowers are heated to a particular temperature, the liquid oils inside will evaporate into steam, where they can be smelled or inhaled, without any of the harmful products created when burning.
  1. Tools

    • Use the pointed end of the included soft-wood spoon to clear the vaporization chamber of any sticky plant resin. Do not use a sharp or metal tool, as this will damage the conductive surface of the heating chamber. If you do not have the official tool, a tongue depressor, whittled narrow at one end, makes a good replacement.

    Solutions

    • Cleaning solutions should not be used on the heating chamber of the Oxygen vaporizer. If the chamber is covered in sticky material, use a bottle-brush or test-tube cleaning brush to scrub the chamber thoroughly, having loosened the material by scraping with the spoon.

    Hardware

    • The two mesh screens in the Oxygen should be replaced regularly. The one secured over the base of the mouthpiece tube is a standard circular 15mm pipe screen. This can be replaced by rotating the surrounding collar by a 1/4 turn. The cylindrical mesh that sits inside the heating chamber as a screen is a proprietary type available directly from Vapir. This is not secured and can be lifted out using the wooden spoon.
