SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS

This guide outlines basic safeguards in using your flowtoys. The information presented cannot cover all possible circum-

stances that may occur.  In using any flowtoy, the user understands that common sense and caution cannot be built into the 

product, and must be provided by him/herself. Please read all instructions before using your toys.

1. Flowtoys are intended for practice, play, performance and meditation. Do not use for any other purpose. 

2. Do not use products under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Consult prescription labels to determine if a particular drug 

would impair your judgment or reflexes. If so, do not use this product. 

3. Stay alert and use common sense. Do not use this product when tired or distracted. Be aware when in the presence of 

fragile or breakable objects.

BEFORE USE: Check for damaged parts before using any product. Ensure caps, connectors and battery doors are fully 

secured. Most flowtoys are made of individual pieces that can separate during use if not properly assembled. 

GENERAL CARE: Repair or replace damaged or worn parts before use. Do not use damaged products.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE: Maintain all Flowtoys products with care. Store in a clean, dry environment. Avoid  

unnecessary exposure to sunlight: UV rays will weaken most plastics over time.

UNAUTHORIZED COMPATIBLE PRODUCTS: Our products should not be combined with products or parts from other 

manufacturers, unless specifically authorized by us and such other manufacturers. Any unauthorized product 

combination may void the warranty of our products and other manufacturers’ products.
WARNING: This product is not intended for use by children age 14 and under. 

Flowtoys Composite System

Com·pos·ite:

 (adjective)

 made up of various parts or elements.

Composite material:

 (noun)

 a combination of two or more distinct materials, each of 

which retains its own distinctive properties, to create a new material with properties that 

cannot be achieved by any of the components alone.
The Flowtoys Composite System is an extension of our Modular System and combines 

high-performance materials typically used in the aerospace and racing industries to  

provide incredible equipment for flow. Thin and lightweight, yet super-strong and rigid  

carbon fiber shafts for optimum comfort and performance. Transparent yet impact-re-

sistant polycarbonate end-tubes. Soft and clear, yet incredibly durable silicone end caps 

for maximum glow and protection. Versatile modular components to enable the perfect 

combination of style, length and weight for you!
Made with the same high-tech materials that took humanity to space, your Composite 

Flowtoys will help take your flow practice to new dimensions. The world just became a 

little more awesome for all of us. 

1. Do not use glowsticks or WD-40 with tubing. While polycarbonate is very  

strong, it breaks down in the presence of certain esters, including those produced by 

chemical glowsticks, mineral spirits and WD-40. Do NOT put chemical glowsticks into 

the tubes, otherwise they can become brittle and shatter. If you need to, we recom-

mend lubricating tube parts with vaseline/petroleum jelly. 
2. Modularity.  Check your components! Most composite system parts are modular 

and interchangeable, but not all sizes or all parts go together. A 12mm shaft needs a 

12mm connector.  Flowlights require an adaptor for the cap and will not fit in a  

1-capsule tube (for example). Pod shells require C-rings on capsules. Find more tips  

for your rig in this guide!
3. Make sure all caps are fully secured before use! Check that the buttons in your 

caps are fully clicked into tubing holes.
4. Clean your grip!

Grip can wear out with use and is affected by oils from our skin. To prolong the life of 

your grip, clean it after heavy use and before long periods of storage. Use rubbing al-

cohol and a cloth, OR a cloth with warm soapy water to remove oils from the grip. Wipe 

away any soap residue with clean water. If your flowcaps get dirty, you can clean them 

with soap and warm water, or put them in the wash with your laundry: air-dry, no heat!
