Vaporization of solids
To vaporize a substance in solid form, we recommend using
the baskets included in the
miniVAP
®
accessory
kit (Small “S”, or Medium “M”), to keep the vaporization
chamber, the cone and the cover sufficiently clean.
The plant must be ground to achieve optimal extraction.
The basket must be completely covered. If the plant isn’t
completely ground or the basket isn’t loosely filled, the air will
circulate through the empty spaces.
Vaporization of liquids
For vaporization of liquids we recommend that you use the
filter for liquids included in the miniVAP accessory kit, the
miniVAP
®
liquid filter.
Place the filter on a paper towel. With an eyedropper, put the
liquid you would like to vaporize on the filter. The amount of
liquid the filter will allow depends on the density of the liquid.
If the paper towel gets stained, there is excess liquid in the
pad that should be removed by pressing the filter against the
paper towel.
If the essence is very concentrated
, we recommend
diluting it with at least the same quantity of water. Place the
filter inside the vaporization chamber with the concave part
facing upwards and close the top. Now your liquid filter is
ready to vaporize.

vaporizer
1. It is possible that some substances won’t vaporize completely, however
this doesn’t mean you’re not extracting the active ingredient.
Note:
We advise you to consult
a specialist before using any
substance in the device.
When using essences or plant
extracts it is necessary to be
aware of the concentration and
purity of the active ingredients,
as there is a risk of intoxication.
The quantity and density of the
vapor that you obtain depends
on the substance being
vaporized, as well as the
concentration of active
ingredients that it contains and
the duration of the inhalations
