1. Enter The Right Headspace

First of all, whenever you’re getting ready to use a Sutra Vape we recommend taking a few moments to get into the right head space and make sure you’re ready to enjoy your moment of vapor zen to its fullest.

By slowing things down and focusing in on the moment, you’ll be able to savor all of the flavor and potency that your vapor has in store for you, blocking out negative feedback to solely lock in on your clouds.

Not only will you be able to get more from your vapor, but with more attention on your session you’ll be able to navigate using your Sutra Vaporizer far easier and avoid common mistakes that happen when people rush.

That’s why we recommend reading our guide to mindful vaping, as it includes a series of steps on how you can elevate the calm of your sessions and find a whole new world of vapor for your relaxation.

2. Assemble Your Materials

With your head in the right space, you can now assemble the materials you’ll need for your specific Sutra Vape including either dry herbs, concentrates, or 510 oil cartridges.

Sutra Vaporizers exist in three distinct types:

We always recommend using the freshest materials possible, as this more than any other barometer will result in your getting the best possible vapor.

Fresh herbs, concentrates, and oils will produce stronger flavor, potency, and greater overall satisfaction from your vaping. So if ever possible always choose the most recently harvested materials and you’ll enjoy a far better time.

3. Load Your Sutra Vape

Now that you’ve got everything in front of you, it’s time to carefully load your Sutra Vaporizer with the corresponding material type. As a general rule, we recommend taking your time here as loading has much more of an effect on your vapor than most realize. 

  • Dry Herb Vaporizers: Carefully grind your flower to a medium consistency. 
  • Concentrate Vaporizer: Use a dab tool / hot knife to load concentrate around the size of a grain of rice into the chamber. 
  • 510 Cartridge: Slowly twist the cartridge into your 510 threads until they are snuggly together. 

Properly loading your Sutra Vape ensures that your battery is able to heat your desired materials efficiently. When improperly packed, heating can become uneven and result in a much less powerful overall experience.

The more you use your particular Sutra Vaporizer, the better you’ll get at finding that packing sweet spot. So don’t over think things, but instead just follow our instructions and adapt your method over time.

4. Power On Your Sutra Vape

With everything loaded, you can now turn your Sutra Vaporizer on to begin your session.

Turning On A Sutra Vape: 

  • Press the power button 5x in a row
  • Wait for the screen on LED light to flash
  • Start your session 

Most Sutra Vapes use single button operation, meaning that the classic 5 clicks to power on / off system is in play here. This lets you easily and quickly get things started, even when you’re in a rush.

If your Sutra Vape isn’t turning on, this means that you need to recharge your battery. Plug in your device with the included charger or a compatible cable and wait until the battery reaches 100% to try again.

5. Choose Your Power Level

Once your battery is on, you can now adjust the voltage / temperature level on your Sutra Vape in order to customize your vapor output. This lets you experiment with different potency and flavor levels, letting you dial things in just how you personally like them.

Sutra Voltage / Temperature Guide: 

  • Low Voltage / Temperature: Produces strong flavor with smooth clouds. 
  • Medium Voltage / Temperature: Even middle ground of flavor and potency. 
  • High Voltage / Temperature: Strong potency with reduced cloud smoothness. 

The great thing about vaping is that while these settings have massive impacts on your vapor, changing between them is incredibly easy. This means you can seamlessly swap between high impact potency and smooth flavor, all with just a few clicks of your vape.

With the power to meet the moment, you can quickly adjust your settings to fit any situation or adventure you’re in with just the type of clouds that are needed. With zero compromise and pure freedom, you’re always in control when you’ve got a Sutra Vape in hand.

When starting out we recommend lower voltages / temperatures in order to acclimate yourself and then upping the ante from there on out. This way you don’t over do it and have a better understanding of the baseline power of your materials.

6. Draw From Your Vaporizer

With everything set up, you are now ready to indulge in your vapor and get started actually using your Sutra Vaporizer. That’s right, it’s finally time to enter the moment of zen and enjoy the benefits of all your hard work.

Proper Technique:

  • Draw slowly and steadily 
  • Focus on sipping your vapor
  • Avoid strong pulls 
  • Keep airflow constant 

Keep these draw techniques in mind while using your Sutra Vape, as this way you’ll be able to maximize vapor production and enjoy the full power of your materials.

By drawing smoothly and slowly, you’re able to keep airflow constant in your chamber and ensure that as much vapor is pulled through as possible. Thus how you vape is an integral part of your sessions success and should never be overlooked.

While it can be tempting to pull as hard as possible, remember our tenets of mindful vaping and slow down your session speed in order to actually appreciate your clouds and ensure production is maxed out with every puff.

7. Enjoy Sutra Inner Peace

Now that you’re enjoying some soothing clouds from your Sutra Vaporizer, it’s time for you to enjoy your own inner peace and kick back with the most luscious vapor around.

Make sure to stay present while you’re enjoying your clouds, as this way you’ll be able to actually notice all of the various flavor intricacies and realize just how different each of your materials really are.

With life moving faster and faster, the entire Sutra Vape line up was purpose built to deliver just these types of experiences and allow you to carve out the time in your day to actually focus on your own inner peace and zen.

So never let the times get you down and instead use your Sutra Vape as a shield against the constant onslaught of notifications, allowing you to focus solely on all of the good that surrounds you.

8. Clean Up For Next Time

Lastly, whenever you’re done with your session it’s important to complete your cycle by cleaning up your Sutra Vaporizer so that it’s ready for you next time. This way when you need it next, it’s ready to go at a moment’s notice, instead of needing a long deep clean.

While we know it’s tempting to just ignore your vape and focus on enjoying yourself, it really pays off to give things just a little bit of a clean up before you store your vaporizer for the time being.

Cleaning Tips: 

  • Dry Herb Vaporizers: Empty the chamber after every session and deep clean periodically. 
  • Concentrate Vaporizers: Clean out your chamber with a swab after every dab and perform deep cleanings periodically. 
  • 510 Batteries: Check to make sure your connection is clean and perform more in depth maintenance periodically. 

Every type of vaporizer requires their own cleaning regiment, with concentrates requiring the most effort to keep at 100% and 510 batteries the least.

No matter which Sutra Vaporizer you’re currently using, keeping them clean is the number one method of extending their lifespan and providing you with vapor that actually lives up to your expectations.

So never sell your moment of vapor zen short and put in the effort to keep things clean in order to enjoy the finest, most sublime Sutra experience possible.
