Mastering The Arizer Air: A Guide To The Aroma Dish

The Arizer Air aroma dish is a replacement glass aromatherapy dish for the Arizer Air or Solo Vaporizer. It is made of food-grade glass and enables users to vaporize potpourri and other aromatic herbs for aromatherapy purposes. To use the aroma dish, load its larger end with dried herbs and/or with a few essential oil drops. Then, insert the smaller end into the cook pot and press and hold the up and M buttons together for six seconds to turn on the vaporizer. You can adjust the temperature by pressing the up or down buttons to your desired degree.

How to load the Arizer Air aroma dish with dried herbs and essential oils

The Arizer Air aroma dish is a bowl-shaped attachment designed for aromatherapy with essential oils or aromatherapy blends. To load the aroma dish with dried herbs and essential oils, follow these steps:

• Prepare your desired dried herbs, such as chamomile, eucalyptus, rosemary, or lavender, ensuring they are coarsely ground.
• Take the aroma dish and load its larger end with the dried herbs of your choice.
• Add a few drops of your chosen essential oil to the herbs. You can use organic cotton to absorb the essential oil and place it in the dish along with the herbs.
• Insert the smaller end of the aroma dish into the cook pot of your Arizer Solo II Vaporizer.
• Press and hold the "up" and "menu" (M) buttons together for about six seconds. The vaporizer will start up after a countdown displayed on the LCD screen.
• Adjust the temperature to the optimal level for your chosen herb and oil combination. For example, lavender is best cooked at 266ºF.
• Once the desired temperature is reached, you can inhale the aromatic vapors through the aroma dish or use one of the included glass aroma tubes.

Note: The aroma dish is intended solely for creating aromas to diffuse in a room and cannot be connected to any balloons or tubing. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.

How to insert the aroma dish into the Arizer Air cook pot

To insert the aroma dish into the Arizer Air cook pot, first ensure that the cook pot is empty and ready for use. The aroma dish is a small glass bowl that fits inside the cook pot, allowing you to vaporize aromatic herbs and oils for aromatherapy purposes.

Once you have prepared your herbs or oils, load them into the larger end of the aroma dish. You can use dried herbs such as lavender, chamomile, eucalyptus, or rosemary, or add a few drops of essential oil.

After loading the aroma dish, it's time to insert it into the cook pot. The cook pot should have a rubber flange at the top that will help secure the aroma dish in place. Carefully insert the smaller end of the aroma dish into the cook pot, ensuring that it is securely fitted.

With the aroma dish in place, you can now turn on your Arizer Air and adjust the settings according to your preferences. Press and hold the "up" and "M" buttons together for about six seconds to turn on the device. You can then use the “up” and “down” buttons to adjust the temperature to the optimal level for your chosen herb or oil.

Remember to refer to the user manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines when using the Arizer Air aroma dish and cook pot.

How to adjust the temperature settings for different herbs

The Arizer Solo II Vaporizer is a great choice if you're looking for a vaporizer that can handle any herb and offers precise temperature control. It's simple to adjust the temperature settings to suit your preferences and the herb you're using. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

• Prepare your herbs: Finely grind your herbs if you plan on taking more than one serving. This ensures that they don't end up being too small.
• Pack the vaporizer chamber properly: This step is crucial to prevent uneven heating and lower temperatures. Choose a well-built, easy-to-use grinder to prepare your herbs for vaporization.
• Understand the heating methods: Portable vaporizers typically use one of two heating methods: conduction or convection. Conduction-style heating elements transfer heat to the herbs by direct contact with hot components, while convection-style heating elements superheat the air inside the chamber, and the hot air is drawn over the herbs.
• Choose your desired temperature range:

• Lightly toasted (325-350°F / 163-177°C): This range is ideal for those who want the best flavor from their herbs. It produces a fresh taste with citrusy and/or piney undertones. The vapor is cooler and less harsh, reducing the likelihood of coughing. This setting is perfect for newcomers, lightweights, or those who want to avoid intense psychoactive effects.
• Half-baked (350-400°F / 177-204°C): This is a safe range to experiment with marijuana or legal CBD cannabis. You'll get a good balance of terpenes and cannabinoids, resulting in a richer flavor. The vapor is warmer and can be satisfying for those transitioning from smoking. The psychoactive effects will be more noticeable due to the increased volatilization of THC.
• Fully baked (400-430°F / 204-221°C): This range offers maximum cannabinoid extraction, so you'll experience the strongest psychotropic effects. The vapor will be hotter and less flavorful, and it may induce "couch lock." This range is best for nighttime use and is ideal for terpene connoisseurs who want to end their sessions with a blast.

• Adjust the temperature: Using the up and down buttons on your Arizer Solo II Vaporizer, adjust the temperature to your desired level within the chosen temperature range.
• Experiment with different settings: Finding the right temperature for you may involve some trial and error. Start in the middle of the recommended range (350-400°F) and then adjust in 5-10° increments until you find the sweet spot that suits your preferences and the specific herb you're using.
• Consider the moisture of your herb: If your herb is too moist, the heat will be wasted on drying it out. Vaporizers work more efficiently and produce more vapor with drier herbs. You can improve dryness by letting your herb air out for a few hours or grinding it before airing it out.
• Timing: Lower temperatures are generally better for morning and daytime use, while higher temperatures are more appropriate for evening and nighttime sessions.

Remember, the key to getting the most out of your vaporizer and herbs is to understand the different temperature ranges and their effects. Play around with the settings to find the combination that suits your preferences and the specific herb's unique characteristics.

How to clean the Arizer Air aroma dish

To clean the Arizer Air aroma dish, you will need the following:

• Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
• Glass cup
• Cotton swabs
• Hot, soapy water

First, unscrew the black mouthpiece from the glass stem and remove the rubber gasket inside. Soak both components in a glass of hot, soapy water, and gently rub off any residue or debris. You can use a wet cotton swab to clean the hard-to-reach spots inside the mouthpiece. Rinse both parts with fresh water and let them air-dry.

Next, place the glass aroma dish and any other glass stems into the glass cup and cover them with rubbing alcohol. Gently shake the cup to loosen any stuck herbs, and then let the pieces soak for a few hours or overnight. After soaking, rinse the aroma dish and stems with hot water, and then dry them thoroughly.

It is important to ensure that all components are completely dry before reassembling your Arizer Air. Additionally, always perform a burnoff after cleaning to eliminate any residual alcohol fumes. To do this, set your device to the highest heat setting and let it run until it automatically shuts down or until the alcohol smell dissipates.
