Plug either the mouthpiece , or a nose adaptor ( or ) with the
connection tube for mouthpiece and nose adaptor onto the inhalation

mouthpiece or the nose adaptor ( or ) needs to be connected
to the shorter end of the connection tube .

The are two additional vaporizer heads included in the scope of

to 4.5 µm (blue vaporizer head) are ideal for use on the respiratory
tract and lungs front (e.g. bronchitis) and smaller particle sizes of
approx. 3.0 to 4.0 µm (yellow vaporizer head) are ideal for the
deeper areas of the lung (e.g. asthma). Consult your physician
