For those familiar with
e-cigarettes, the steps below can
be followed to allow the device to
be used in the shortest possible
time:

• Prime the atomizer head

• Fill the tank

• Switch the Optimus on

• Set the Optimus to power mode

• Check the power setting
(we suggest 50 watts)

• Press the power button and inhale

• Charge the battery (it will possibly
not have been shipped with a full
charge)

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

Priming the Atomizer Head and
Filling the Tank:

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.

Quick Start Guide

Using Your Optimus Kit

6 7

Priming the Atomizer Head and
Filling the Tank:

Turn the Slider Optimus tank upside
down and unscrew the atomizer
base from the glass section of the
tank. Prime the fitted atomizer head
by slowly dripping E-liquid onto
the wire mesh and cotton, avoid
dripping E-liquid directly down
the centre of the atomizer head.
Continue to slowly drip E-liquid onto
the wire mesh and cotton until the
cotton visible through the sides of
the atomizer head changes colour.

Refit the atomizer base onto the
glass section of the tank then screw
the assembled tank back onto
the Optimus battery. Slide the top
cap open by pushing firmly in the
indicated direction to expose the fill
hole. Insert the filling nozzle into the
fill hole and fill the tank being careful
not to overfill. Slide the top cap shut
after filling.

Note: After filling the tank and
priming a new atomizer head, it is a
good idea to let the atomizer head

‘PRIME’ further by waiting 5 minutes
before vaping to ensure the new
atomizer head is fully saturated with
E-liquid.

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, and 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:

To switch the Optimus on, quickly
press the power button 5 times.
The green indicator light will flash
5 times and the screen will activate
indicating that the device is powered
on. To turn the Optimus off, quickly
press the power button 5 times.

Setting the Correct Mode and
Wattage:

The atomizer heads supplied with
the Optimus are compatible with
wattage mode only, and will not work
in temperature control modes. To
set the Optimus to wattage mode,
quickly press the power button 3
times to enter the mode selection
menu, the screen will begin to
flash, then keep pressing the right
adjustment button until the screen
displays power. Press the power
button once to confirm the selection.
Now adjust the wattage by pressing

the left or right adjustment buttons
until the screen reads 50w. Lower
wattage settings will give a cooler
and less dense vapour than higher
power settings, higher power
settings will produce larger clouds of
vapour but too much power 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 30W and 80W
with the atomizer head supplied.

Tip: Long pressing either of the
adjustment buttons allows speedy
changes to the wattage.

Using Your Optimus Kit

Vaping:

Press and hold the power button as
you inhale the vapour. The green
indicator light will illuminate and the
screen will display a timer while the
power button is pressed.

Adjusting the Airflow:

If you find the airflow too airy or
too restrictive while vaping, it can
be adjusted by rotating the airflow
control ring located on the atomizer
base. Experiment to find your
preferred setting.

E-liquid Level:

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

Refilling the Tank:

To fill the tank, slide open the
top cap by pushing firmly in the
indicated direction to expose the fill
hole. Insert the filling nozzle into the
fill hole and fill the tank being careful
not to overfill. Slide the top cap shut
after filling.

the charge lead is first inserted and
the screen will display an animated
battery icon while charging. Once
the battery is fully charged the
screen will switch off.

Weak Battery Alert:

If remaining battery charge drops
to 2.9 volts, the screen will display
“WEAK BATTERY” and wattage will
be reduced. Charge the Optimus
using the steps outlined in Charging
the Battery above, to allow normal
operation to resume.

Replacing the Atomizer Head:

To replace the atomizer head,
remove the Slider Optimus Tank
from the Optimus battery by
unscrewing at the atomizer base.
Turn the tank upside down, then
unscrew the atomizer base from the

glass section of the tank. Unscrew
the atomizer head from the atomizer
base and replace. Prime the new
atomizer head as described above.
Reassemble the tank and screw
the assembled tank back onto the
Optimus battery.

the appropriate mode to match your
atomizer type.

Note: the atomizer heads supplied
with the Optimus kit are compatible
with wattage mode only, and will not
work in temperature control mode.

Adjusting Wattage in Temperature
Control/TCR Modes:

The maximum wattage that is
applied in Temperature Control
or TCR modes can be adjusted.
Higher wattages allow the target

temperature to be reached quicker,
while lower wattages increase
the time taken to reach the target
temperature. Setting the wattage
too low may prevent the target
temperature from being reached at
all. To adjust the maximum wattage,
quickly press the power button 3
times to enter the mode selection
menu; the screen will begin to flash.
Then press the left adjustment
button twice, and the wattage icon
will begin to flash. Press the right
adjustment button once (increasing

the wattage), then press either of
the adjustment buttons to increase
or decrease the wattage. When the
desired wattage is reached, press
the power button once to confirm the
selection.

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. Experiment to find your own
favourite setting.

Note: The screen displaying
“TEMP PROTECT” is not an error or
fault; it means the atomizer head has
reached or exceeded the set target
temperature.
