| 210-220°C / 410-428°F | Maximum extraction, very dense vapor |
Ceramic Chamber — The Heart of Flavor
The ACE's ceramic chamber is engineered for taste:
- Ceramic imparts no flavor of its own, delivering pure herb taste.
- Heats evenly with no hot spots.
- Easier to clean than stainless steel.
Loading the Chamber
1. Remove the glass mouthpiece.
2. Grind herb to a medium consistency.
3. Fill the ceramic chamber loosely to about 70%.
4. Do not pack tightly — convection heating needs airflow through the material.
5. Replace the mouthpiece.

Microdosing with the Spacer
The spacer reduces the chamber size for smaller loads:
1. Insert the spacer into the chamber.
2. Load herb on top of the spacer (roughly half the normal amount).
3. Ideal for microdosing or conserving material.

Techniques for Best Flavor
The ACE is built for flavor. Try these techniques:
1. Start low (165-175°C): Take the first 3-4 draws at low temperature to enjoy full terpene expression.
2. Step up gradually: Increase by 5°C every 2-3 draws.
3. Draw slowly and long: Inhale gently for 10-15 seconds, giving hot air time to pass through the herb.
4. Keep the glass clean: Residue on the mouthpiece will mask subtle flavors.
5. Use fresh herb: Material with some moisture content delivers better flavor than overly dry herb.

Cleaning & Maintenance
After Each Session
- Tap out spent material from the chamber.
- Gently brush the ceramic chamber clean.
Deep Clean (Weekly)
- Soak the glass mouthpiece in 90%+ IPA for 30 minutes.
- Use a cotton swab with IPA to carefully wipe the ceramic chamber.
- Rinse the mouthpiece with warm water and dry completely.

Care Tips
- Handle the glass mouthpiece carefully — keep a spare on hand.
- Charge when the battery reaches 20%.
- Store in a protective case or pouch to prevent damage.
