Please follow these directions for the following products to avoid leaks, clogs, and other issues. Failure to adhere to these practices may invalidate your warranty.
Stem All-In-One Filling Directions
Recommended Needle Size | Ideal Fill Temperature | Capping Time |
|---|---|---|
14-20ga | 90°F/32°C (thinner oils) - 135°F/57°C (thicker oils) | 3 mins or less (depending on viscosity) |
Insert a blunt tip 14 to 20 gauge needle into the space between the center airway tube and the inner wall of the cartridge body. Caution: do not allow oil to enter the center airway tube.
The recommended oil temperature range at time of filling is 90°F-135°F. The ideal fill temperature will allow for filling and capping before the oil saturates the atomizer.
Oversaturation from hot filling, thin oils, and/or slow capping will cause flooding, clogging and leaking.
Do not fill above the pressure relief hole (10mm from top of tank). If the cartridge is overfilled, fluid will be forced through the atomizer and leak out of the bottom of the cartridge when the mouthpiece is capped.
Cap within 3 minutes after filling. We recommend a shorter period of time for thinner oils. Immediately after filling, cap the cartridge with the mouthpiece until it’s fully seated.
Stem All-In-One Capping Directions
Capping time | Capping method | Minimum capping force | Maximum capping force | Atomizer saturation period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
3 mins or less (depending on viscosity) | Arbor press only (not by hand) | 66lbs (30kg) | 190lbs (86kg) | 30 mins – 12 hours (depending on viscosity) |
Mechanical assistance such as an arbor press is required to fully seat the mouthpiece. About 66lbs of force (30kgf) is needed to cap a single Stem.
Make sure the mouthpiece is properly aligned and straight. Press the mouthpiece down vertically (not at an angle) using level, even pressure, until there is no gap between the mouthpiece and body.
Angled mouthpieces can damage the unit or require excessive force to close.
Use an arbor press to cap. Do not cap manually by hand. Do not use a hammer or mallet!
Do not twist or rotate the mouthpiece while it is being inserted.
Once the mouthpiece is fully seated, it cannot be removed without damaging the device or the mouthpiece.
Note: Do not use power chargers that output more than 5 volts. These may damage the battery.
FIFO (first in, first out) advisory:
Proper forecasting and inventory management are crucial for the best performance of battery products. Battery products that are not used within 1 year can experience battery degradation and discharge and may need to be charged before they are distributed. We recommend ensuring first-in, first-out inventory practices and not distributing battery products more than 6 months after delivery.
PRO TIP:
FAILURE TO INSERT THE MOUTHPIECE WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF FILLING, MAY CAUSE CLOGGING OR LEAKAGE.
