HOW TO GET STARTED WITH YOUR EVOLVE PEN
Step 1 – charge your evolve pen with the micro usb until the red indication light turns off
Step 2 – this device has a 5 quick clicks on the silver button to lock and unlock, when you do the 5 quick clicks to lock or unlock you’ll get a triple flash to confirm
Step 3 – unscrew/remove the mouthpiece and coil cap
Step 4 – load a rice grain sized dab (2 max) onto the top of the 2 coils, preferably without touching them. The way to achieve this is to only very lightly attach your dab to the dab tool, then touch the dab to the coils or surrounding area very gently so the tool never touches the wire coil. If it’s still stuck to the dab tool a quick pulse on the EP button should help detach it. Sometimes when I’ve scraped a bunch of reclaim or something really sticky, I’ll hit the dab tool with the blowtorch just lightly enough to help the dab drop onto the coil
Step 5 – replace the coil cap and mouthpiece – DON’T OVER TIGHTEN IT! You know you’ll be having another vape shortly and will want the mouthpiece and coil cap to come off with ease
Step 6 – so now you’re ready for a vape!! Heat it up by giving a 3-5 sec push of the button followed by a few pulses about 1-3 seconds apart to heat the oil. Start gently inhaling about 2 seconds into the initial press, then continue for 7-10 seconds after the final pulse
Step 7 – Hold the vapor in for as long as comfortable. Any visible vapor exhaled did not get absorbed, so is technically wasted oil. Also the longer it’s held in the less visible and smellable it is, so the more discrete. Store the pen in an upright position till the next vape if possible. If you have to pocket it, try to keep it upright in your pocket too
TIPS FOR HAPPY VAPING WITH YOUR EVOLVE PEN
Tip 1 – after you take your hit and let go of the button, mysteriously the light will come back on for a few seconds…this is to remind you to take your cool down draw and cool the air path down to resolidify your wax. Do it! It avoids mess and keeps the airpath unclogged. This is the same reason you should store it upright
Tip 2 – DO NOT OVERLOAD – the Evolve Plus (EP) has its own silicon wax container attached. There is no need to turn your brand new EP into the Exxon oil spill. Add a dab about the size of a grain of rice, 2 max
Tip 3 – DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THREADS – it will just make your life difficult. Once you’ve over tightened the thread and let it clag up with oil, you’ll need to warm it up again and possibly even use pliers to remove it. The perfect setting will be with the base tightened to the battery the minimum amount that you can screw the mouthpiece and coil (splatter) cap on without too much trouble
Tip 4 – Onto the coil (splatter) cap – Use it! Makes cleaning a breeze but again DON’T OVER TIGHTEN IT!! 1-1.5 turns and it stays on fine. The other main thing to remember with the coil (splatter) cap is that the harder you draw on the mouthpiece the more you’ll have to clean off the splatter cap, cause guess what, if you heat up oil, then blast air through it, it’s gonna splatter. Draw gentle, get thick tasty clouds and a clean wax pen. To do so, let the button off and keep drawing in air. What seems to work best is a 5-10 second hit, release the button, and keep slowly drawing in until the light has come back on and turned off again (as mentioned above)
Tip 5 – Cleaning – keep an eye on how the wax and carbon debris is building up on your coil and clean before it goes too black. This will make your life easier over time and make you coils last longer. Every 2-3 grams take the base, coil and mouthpiece and soak them in isopropyl alcohol for about 15 – 30 mins, rinse with water and dry with a paper towel
Tip 6 – When charging the pen the battery does warm up a touch, and tends to soften or melt what’s stored in the silicon pot, so If you’ve got some nice sized dabs already broken up in there, it’d be best to remove the pot before charging to prevent them from melting. Try not to leave your pen on charge after the red light goes out. Although it does have some overcharge protection, I’m not sure of the exact design of this circuit and Yocan recommends not overcharging.
