No, Heat-Not-Burn, or vaporization, does not create smoke. Instead, the electric oven will heat the plant matter up to a temperature that is well below combustion but is high enough to cause the active ingredients to evaporate. This vapor is then inhaled through the Flowersticks allowing you to get all of the flavor and the benefits without the downsides of smoking.
The Flowersticks are designed to hold up to 0.15 grams of ground dry herb, however you can fill it with less if you choose and you do not need to be measuring it. The Omura system is designed to consume small amounts of flower very efficiently and more frequently. This allows you to remain in better control of your experience. If you would like a stronger experience then you can have a 2nd or a 3rd Flowerstick, much as you would do when consuming alcohol.
To stop a session halfway through, simply remove the Flowerstick and the Series 1 will turn-off automatically. To restart the session, insert the Flowerstick and the device will begin to heat-up and the three minute session will restart.
The Flowersticks have been designed for single-use, however we are aware that some of our customers do reuse the Flowersticks once or twice. We do not warranty their performance upon reuse.
Yes, unlike other disposable vaporizers, the Omura system uses a rechargeable vaporizer, compostable flowersticks and packaging, FSC-certified paper and no single-use plastics.
