IS A MOD OR VAPE PEN TECHNICALLY VAPING?

By today’s standards, a vape pen and a mod are vaporizers. Technically they are atomizers that atomize the oils and e-juice essentially vaporizing the oils. This is almost the same thing as vaporizing so for lamen terms they are the same. A true vaporizer uses the proper heat to get the oils to the proper temperature that they beginning to boil off of the plant matter or concentrate and turn to vapor. Atomizers heat the oils and e-juice to a slightly higher temperature so that they make big clouds. If the pen is for just concentrates it is usually heating up so much the fats and lipids also vaporize.

I DON’T SEE ANY VAPOR WITH MY VAPORIZER

Plant matter vapor is visible under the right lighting, it looks and behaves similarly to a very light smoke or mist. It is possible to blow vapor rings, but your vapor from vaporizing will never be thick like the e-juice vapes. Visually, it can be compared to seeing your breath on a cool night, with the exhaled vapor dissipating much more quickly than smoke. If you do not see or taste any vapor, try turning the heat up just a little, wait about 30 seconds and inhale at your standard speed or use a slower inhale. We recommend to keep your standard draw speed and adjust the temperature accordingly to your inhale speed. If you inhale very fast and run a hotter unit, be careful when sharing with other people that may inhale slower than you. This could lead to combustion. Remind them to inhale like you do, or turn your unit down a little for them.

HOW WAS THE SILVER SURFER CREATED?

The journey of the Silver Surfer started in 2004. There were other desktop vapes out there but they were inferior so we came up with the Silver Surfer. It was the first vaporizer in the industry to use a ceramic heater. It was also the first vaporizer that allowed the user to vape and diffuses at the same time. Only the Silver Surfer and Super Surfer have evolved with the industry.

HOW SHOULD I CLEAN MY GLASS?

We offer a variety of cleaning products, which can all be found here . Using a cleaner with pumice or salt will help clean the glass much better. Warming the cleaner in a microwave for 5 or so seconds will help also clean the glass better.  Make sure if you use a microwave you do not let it get too hot.  Also, do not close off the container as hot liquids can create pressure allowing the cleaner to spray out.  NEVER HEAT AND SHAKE.  ONLY HEAT AND SOAK

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CHANGE THE SCREEN ON YOUR VAPORIZER

Changing you screen or keeping it clean really makes the vaporizing experience much better than a clogged screen. We suggest changing your screen ever 10-15 bowls, or when you notice your wand becoming clogged. You may have to clean or change it more often if you are vaping hash, keif or some really really good dank. You can see how to best change your screen here . Remember the best way is to flip that screen when it is in there.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEAN MY SIDEKICK?

We recommend to clean the bowl out after each use along with the top of the chamber. Also, brush your screen on the top and bottom of it to remove any debris. We recommend cleaning out the vortex cooler after about 10 uses or if it becomes harder to inhale. A nice deep clean is nice also after about 20 bowls. Just keeps it all fresh
