ARC 5 QUICK START GUIDE

If you are familiar with using e-cigarettes, follow the quick start
guide below to be vaping in minutes:

• Prime the atomizer head.

• Fill the tank.

• Switch the arc 5 on (5 clicks of the power button).

• Set the power to 12 watts.

• Press the power button and inhale

• Charge the battery (possibly not shipped with a full charge).

Detailed descriptions of these steps and more are given in the full user guide.

Priming the Atomizer Head

Remove the tank from the arc 5 battery by
unscrewing at the tank base. Turn the tank
upside down, then unscrew the tank base
from the glass section of the tank. Prime
the atomizer head by dripping a few drops
of e-liquid into its central hole.

USING YOUR ARC 5 - FILLING

Filling the Tank

Fill the tank through one of the apertures
either side of the central air hole. Do not
allow any e-liquid to enter the central air
hole. Once filled, screw the tank base back
onto the glass section of the tank then fit
the tank back onto the battery.

Note: After priming a new atomizer head
and filling the tank, it is recommended to
wait 5 minutes before vaping to ensure the
atomizer head is fully saturated.

Atomizer Head Lifespan

Atomizer heads do not last forever and
need to be periodically replaced. Time
in use before replacement is required is
generally from a few days to several weeks,
depending on power used, vaping style,
flavour and type of e-liquid. A slight burnt
taste, general loss of vapour production or
a reduction in flavour intensity can all be
indicators that the atomizer head requires
replacement.

Powering On and Off

Turn the arc 5 on by quickly pressing the
power button five times, the screen will
activate indicating the arc 5 has been
switched on. Quickly press the power
button five times to switch the arc 5 off, the
screen will deactivate indicating the arc 5
has been switched off.

USING YOUR ARC 5 - SETTING THE CORRECT WATTAGE

The wattage on the arc 5 battery is
adjustable and can be set from 1-40 watts.
The wattage is set to 40W out of the box,
but we recommend reducing the wattage
to 12W to prevent the atomizer head from
burning prematurely. To set the correct
wattage, ensure the arc 5 is switched on;
then keep pressing the down adjustment
button until the screen reads 12W. Lower
wattage settings will give a cooler, less
dense vapour. Higher wattage settings
produce larger clouds of vapour, but setting
the wattage too high can lead to poor
flavour; or even a burnt taste in the vapour.

Experiment to find your own favourite
setting, which will generally be between
7W and 15W.

Tip: Press and hold down either of the
adjustment buttons to make speedy
changes to the wattage.

Vaping

Press and hold the power button as you
inhale the vapour, the screen will display a
vape timer while the power button is held
down.

Adjusting the Airflow

If you find the air
flow too airy or too
tight while vaping,
rotate the black
airflow control ring
on the base of the
tank. Experiment to
find your preference.

E-liquid Level

To prevent the atomizer head from
becoming dry and burning prematurely,
ensure the e-liquid level does not drop
below the bottom of the glass section of
the tank.

Charging the Battery

The arc 5 is charged by connecting the charge
port on the battery to a USB port or suitable
wall adaptor with the supplied charging cable.
The screen will display an animated battery
icon while charging, once the battery is fully
charged the screen will switch off completely.

USING YOUR ARC 5 - REPLACING THE ATOMIZER HEAD

To replace the atomizer head, unscrew the tank from the arc 5 battery. Turn the tank
upside down, then unscrew the tank base from the glass section of the tank. Unscrew
the atomizer head from the tank base and replace. Prime the new atomizer head by
dripping a few drops of e-liquid into its central hole. Reassemble the tank and refit the
tank back onto the arc 5 battery.

Reminder: After priming a new atomizer
head it is recommended to wait 5 minutes
before vaping to ensure the atomizer head
is fully saturated.

Atomizer Head Protection

If the power button is held down for longer
than 10 seconds while vaping, the screen
will display “Over 10s” and the arc 5 will
refuse to power or produce any vapour.
Releasing the power button will allow
normal operation to resume.

Low Voltage Protection

If battery voltage drops to 3.3V, “Lock” will
be displayed onscreen and the arc 5 will
refuse to power or produce any vapour.
Charge the battery using the steps outlined
in Charging the Battery on page 9 to unlock
the arc 5 allowing normal operation to
resume.

Low Battery Alert

If battery drops to 10% charge, the power
symbol on screen will flash continuously.
This is a reminder the battery will need
charging soon.

any vapour. Stop vaping and allow the
arc 5 to cool down for normal operation
to resume.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The arc 5 battery and tank connection can
be cleaned by wiping down with tissue or
a dry cloth. The CS Air Slim tank can be

cleaned by removing it from the battery,
unscrewing the tank base from the glass
section of the tank then removing the
atomizer head. The entire tank and base
can now be cleaned under hot running
water. Allow the tank to fully dry before
refitting the atomizer head into the tank
base. Reassemble the tank.

head with water. Do not submerge the arc 5
battery unit in water or allow it to get wet.
