Frequently Asked Questions

How-To FAQs

Common questions about how-to resources and how they can help you choose and use your device.

How do I get my new device ready for its first use?

Give it a full charge before the first session, most Sutra batteries take about one to two hours. Once charged, attach your cartridge or accessory gently, then take a few soft pulls to prime it before going full power.

My device isn't turning on. What should I check first?

Start with the contacts, a quick wipe with a cotton swab clears buildup that blocks the connection. If it still won't power on, confirm the battery is actually charged and try swapping in a different attachment to rule that out.

How often does my device actually need a clean?

A light wipe down every few days keeps airflow and flavor consistent, with a deeper clean every couple of weeks. Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab handle most buildup without needing anything fancy.

Why is my vapor weaker than it used to be?

Weak output is usually residue on the contacts or a battery that needs a charge, both are quick fixes. If cleaning and charging don't help, the coil or atomizer inside may be worn and ready for a swap.

How do I know which voltage or temperature setting to use?

Lower settings preserve flavor and stretch your material further, higher settings push bigger output. On Sutra devices with adjustable settings, start low and work your way up until you find the spot you like.
