Note: It is important to “prime” a new
atomizer head before first use. Failure
to do so can cause the atomizer coil to
overheat, leading to an unpleasant taste
and sometimes irreversible damage
to the atomizer head requiring early
replacement.

Remove the tank from the battery.
Turn the Active tank upside down and
unscrew the atomizer base from the
clear acrylic section of the tank.

Prime the fitted atomizer head by
slowly dripping e-liquid onto the cotton,
avoiding dripping e-liquid directly
down the centre of the atomizer head.
Continue to slowly drip e-liquid onto the
cotton until the cotton visible through
the sides of the atomizer head appears
to be saturated. Refit the atomizer base
onto the clear acrylic section of the tank
then screw the assembled tank back
onto the Active battery. Fill the tank.

E-liquid Level

To avoid the atomizer head becoming
dry and burning prematurely, ensure
the e-liquid level does not drop below
half way down the acrylic section of
the tank.

Atomizer Head Lifespan

Atomizer heads do not last forever and
need to be periodically replaced. The
lifespan of an atomizer head can vary
from several days up to several weeks.
Factors affecting lifespan include
wattage, vaping style, flavour and type
of e-liquid. Indicators that the atomizer
head may require replacement include
a slight burnt taste, general loss of
vapour production or a reduction in
flavour intensity.

Slide the top cap open by
pushing firmly in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the
top cap to expose the fill hole.
Insert the filling nozzle into the
fill hole and fill the tank, being
careful to leave an air gap of
approximately 2mm. Slide the
top cap shut after filling.

Temperature Adjustment:

When in temperature control or TCR
mode, use the left or right adjustment
buttons to adjust the temperature from
100°C – 315°C (200°F – 600°F). Lower
temperature settings give a cooler and
less dense vapour. Higher temperature
settings produce hotter vapour and
larger clouds of vapour, but can lead
to poor flavour or even a burnt taste.
