3 Quick Start Guide 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. 4 5

4 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 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 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 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. 6 the atomizer head changes colour. good idea to let the atomizer head E-liquid. A slight burnt taste, general 7

5 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 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 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 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 8 button once to confirm the selection. adjustment buttons allows speedy preferred setting. not to overfill.

6 Atomizer Head Protection: If the power button is held down for longer than 10 seconds while vaping the screen will display Over 10s protection and the Optimus will refuse to power or produce any vapour. Release the power button to allow normal operation to return. green indicator light will flash when 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 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.

8 puff counter is enabled, the icon will display the number of the times the power button has been pressed to vape. If total time vaping is enabled, the icon will display the total time spent vaping in seconds. If amperage is enabled, the icon will display how much current is drawn from the battery when the power button is held down to vape. Note: you can reset the puff counter and total time vaping to zero by holding down the power button while the respective icon is flashing. Rotating the Display: To rotate the display by 180, turn the Optimus off then press and hold both adjustment buttons at the same time. Turn the Optimus back on. Temperature Control Settings: Switching to Temperature Control Vaping Modes: Temperature Control vaping modes can be used only when specific coil materials have been used for atomizer head manufacture, namely nickel (NI), titanium (TI) or stainless steel (SS). To select the appropriate temperature control mode, quickly press the power button 3 times to enter the mode selection menu; press the right adjustment button to cycle between the modes of power, temperature or TCR. Once TEMP is displayed and flashing, press the left adjustment button once then NI, TI or SS will flash.

The screen will display Battery too hot or Battery too cold in each recommended not to disable this safety feature in normal use, but it can be disabled by the following method. Press and hold the power and right adjustment buttons at the same to enter the ENU/TIME OUT/ PREHEAT menu. PREHEAT will be displayed initially. Press the right adjustment button twice and ENU will be displayed. Press the left adjustment button to cycle between ON (safer) and OFF (less safe). Press the power button to confirm Protections: Short Circuit Protection: If an atomizer short circuit occurs, the screen will display ATOMIZER SHORT and the Optimus will refuse to power or produce any vapour. Replacing the atomizer head should allow normal operation to resume. Follow the steps outlined in Replacing the Atomizer Head, on page 11, to allow normal operation to resume. No Atomizer Detected: If no atomizer head is detected, the screen will display NO ATOMIZER FOUND, the green indicator light will flash 10 times and Optimus will refuse to power or produce any vapour. If the NO ATOMIZER FOUND message is displayed, ensure the atomizer head is fully screwed down into the atomizer base. If the NO ATOMIZER FOUND message continues, replacing the atomizer head should allow normal 26 situation respectively. It is strongly your selection. operation to resume, follow the steps 27

Temperature Alert: If the internal temperature of the Optimus reaches 70 C, the screen will display Device Too Hot and the Optimus will refuse to power or produce any vapour. Allowing the Optimus to cool down will enable normal operation to resume. Check USB: If the voltage of the USB charger is greater than 8.0 volts the screen will display CHECK USB ADAPTER. Use a charging accessory with an output of 5.7 volts or below. Resetting the Optimus Battery: If the Optimus battery freezes during a firmware update, press the right adjustment button then insert a pin or needle into the reset hole located underneath the battery to perform a full reset. Atomizer Head Resistance: If the resistance of the atomizer head is lower than 0.1ohm in wattage mode or 0.05ohm in temperature control/tcr mode, the screen will Charge Error: display ATOMIZER LOW and If no charge current is detected the Optimus will refuse to power while the Optimus is charging, or produce any vapour. Replace the screen will display CHARGE the atomizer head with one of a ERROR.
