1. Turn on the SSV. There are a few ways to start this out. First one can turn glass marble adjustment knob to full blast for about 2-3 minutes. Then turn the glass marble dial back down to about the 1/3l. Most herbs for aromatherapy and homeopathic healing only need the SSV turned up 2/3. The other way to turn the unit on is to just turn it to your favorite position (you will find this position after use) and wait 3-5 minutes. Either way the unit is very simple to turn on.
2. While the SSV is heating up grind or chop up your herbs (preferably with a herb grinder). Put a little amount of the ground herb in the wand. Being careful not to pack the herb in the wand. Also the wand should only be filled from 1/8"-1/4" of tobacco. When you are vaporizing remember less is more. To put the ground herb in the wand you can put it in with your fingers, or suck it up off of a table or dish. Again only filling the wand with 1/8"-1/4" of tobacco and not packing in the wand.
3. Place the wand up to the heater were the hole is. There is a nice fit when the two piece of glass come together. When the two pieces of glass come together, begin to inhale. This will draw air into the heater and warm it up to vaporizing temperatures. The air passes the plant matter and warming it until vaporization occurs. You can stir your plant material in between vapor draws to increase the efficiency of the vaporization. The vapor is a light white cloud. To empty the wand turn upside down and empty into the trash. You can blow through the mouth piece to get the plant matter out easier.
Not to hard to go from smoking to vaporizing!
How to Change the screen on the SSV herbal vaporizer
The screen is very simple to change but does take a little practice. I can tell you how to change the screen but I think a little movie would help best. After you watch the movie you will see how easy the screen change is.
