Owners Guide

Owner Playbook

Below, the full playbook walks through the practical steps and tips behind this guide.

While not as flashy as blowing clouds, there is one simple trick to getting the most out of your vaporizer, new or old; reading the manual. Reading? Boooooring. I know I know, the last thing you want to do when your new vaporizer arrives is spend the time reading a dreaded book. Well what if I was to tell you that these manuals are not just any book, but a book of power.

You see within these tiny little manuals you will find the sacred knowledge of how your vaporizer actually functions and from this knowledge, comes true strength. Seriously though, within your vaporizer manual there is essential information to both improve and protect your experience, so keep reading this Vape Blog to see why you should ALWAYS read the manual before use.

Learning the Basics

While vaporizing technology has advanced so far that there are now almost universal functions like 5 clicks to turn on / off, many will be shocked that there is also a ton of variance in operation. Basic things like where the power button is located on the vaporizer may seem obvious but with the addition of multiple buttons that may not always be the case. That’s why we recommend giving the manuals control section once over to make sure all of your assumptions are correct and avoid any stupid mistakes down the line.

Ensure Proper Charging

One of the most important aspects of your manual is the information pertaining to where and how you should be charging your vaporizer. It should be noted this info is ESSENTIAL to not only your safety, but to those around you as the risk of fire from incorrectly charging should not be understated. To avoid all of this trouble all you need to do is review your manual for both their first charge instructions and then general charging.

Oftentimes vaporizers will tell you to charge your vaporizer for longer the first time and then much less time after that. If you continue to charge your vape at the longer temperature, you will risk catastrophe so make sure to read the whole paragraph and not just take the first time you see and run with it.

Your Warranty Information

The all important information relating to the warranty on your device if included will most likely be found within your manual towards the end of the reading. This is so you can read all about how your vaporizer works before taking a look at the issues that can arise and which ones you are on the hook for. In order to truly understand what your warranty covers you need to understand how your vaporizer actually works down to the smallest of functions which will require you to, you guessed it, read your manual!

Safety / Troubleshooting

Safety and reading? Now y'all must be thinking I’m tripping but here me out, what if, I don’t know, it saved you from having to buy a new vape? Now I have your attention huh? Oh never mind, I lost you with safety and reading. Well, to all those more safety inclined that have stuck around be sure to know that within your manual there often lies a section giving you a heads up to any issues that commonly arise and how your vape is going to let you know something is wrong. Much like a dog barking at the door, if you don’t know the signs to avoid disaster you are going to be cleaning up a lot of messes.

Back of Box

Instead of relying on a pamphlet within the packaging, some vaporizers will include most of their necessary information on the outside of the box. Companies often do this to save on paper waste and maximize their packaging, so always be on the lookout for some important info hiding on the back of your package before tossing it in the trash.

Online Resources

Some vaporizers do not ship with a manual in the box or on the box. When it comes to these instances your best option before use is to go online and check the manufacturers direct website to see if they have a guide there. Vapes without a manual oftentimes have one online like with our Slim VV 2.0 Cartridge Vaporizer, where you can go to its specific page on exxusvape.com to see a handy walkthrough with all of the important information you need to succeed.

The Outro

At the end of the day taking the time to go over your manual will take around 5 minutes, which isn’t too bad of a trade off for years of enjoyment with your new vape. So make sure you educate yourself on all the available information pertaining to your vaporizer and never let lack of knowledge trip you up again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Owners Guide FAQs

Common questions about this guide and how to put the information to work when choosing your device.

Why is reading the manual worth it?

It takes about five minutes and covers how your specific device works, how to charge it safely, and how to spot problems early. That small investment protects both your device and your safety.

What is the most important part of the manual?

The charging instructions. Incorrect charging carries a real risk of fire, and many devices need a longer first charge and shorter ones after, so read the whole charging section rather than just the first line.

Where do I find a manual if there is not one in the box?

Check the outside of the packaging, since some brands print the key information there to reduce paper. If it is not there, look on the manufacturer website. Some Exxus devices, like the Slim VV 2.0, have a walkthrough on their product page.

Does the manual explain the warranty?

Usually, yes. Warranty details are typically near the end and outline what is covered and what falls on you, which is easier to understand once you know how the device works.
