First use and a routine you can follow

Before using the device for the first time, familiarise yourself with the names of its components, how the cap is fitted and the location of the air opening. Check the device's condition and carry out the initial cleaning recommended by the manufacturer. An empty practice cycle makes it easier to recognise the temperature signals while concentrating on the device's behaviour rather than a chamber full of material.

A medium grind and a loosely placed load are useful starting points when preparing dry plant material. The serrated chamber rim assists with preparation and loading; whether you use a separate grinder will also depend on your preferred routine. To compare your first experiences, keep the chamber size, condenser setting and heat source the same, then change a single condition on the next occasion.

1. With the device cold, remove the cap and check the condition of the CCD screen, chamber and assembled components.
2. Place suitably prepared dry plant material in the chamber, leaving room for air to pass through.
3. Refit the cap and prepare a heat source recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Heat according to the manufacturer's instructions, then remove the heat source when the heating click sounds.
5. Use the device through the mouthpiece, adjusting airflow with the airport opening and your previously chosen condenser position.
6. Wait for the cooling signal before reheating. Allow the components to cool sufficiently before emptying, adjusting or putting the device away.

Cleaning: the cap and O-rings need separate care

The construction can be taken apart to give you access to the chamber, stem and condenser. During cleaning, lay out the small components in an organised way so that you can keep track of the CCD screen and O-rings. Removing residue from the internal surfaces also helps keep the air path clear. Adapt the cleaning frequency to how you actually use the device and the condition of its components.

The Captive Cap must not be soaked in liquid or placed in a dishwasher. The manufacturer provides separate instructions for the cap, describing careful, targeted cleaning. Remove the O-rings before cleaning the metal components with alcohol, as alcohol can dry them out. Always choose a cleaning product and method permitted for each individual component, following the instructions that apply to it.

Allow the components to dry completely before reassembly, then check the connections and air path. Keep cleaning separate from the heat source; do not heat the device near flammable cleaning products. If a seal is worn, the screen is damaged or the cap is not working correctly, choose the appropriate replacement component for the model and the manufacturer's current compatibility guidance.

Safe handling and careful adjustment

The heated cap and Tip can cause burns. Keep them away from skin and heat-sensitive surfaces, and prepare a place where the device can cool safely. Handle the cap and chamber, and adjust the condenser, only when the components are cold. Keep the device away from children and pets during both use and cooling.

Stop heating when the cap signals, then wait for the cooling signal before starting the next cycle. Begin learning the settings in calm surroundings where you can hear the click. For this dry herb setup, use only material suitable for the intended use and compatible components, following the instructions for both the device and its heat source.

Frequently asked questions about The M7 XL

What does the XL version add to the experience?

It provides a longer vapour path and a separate mouthpiece and condenser assembly. The six condenser positions also allow you to adjust airflow. When choosing, consider how the device feels in your hand, its longer format and the draw you find comfortable; the amount of cooling also depends on the actual conditions of use.

How can you start with a smaller amount?

Adjust-a-Bowl lets you halve the chamber by moving the CCD screen to its designated position. Keep the load open to airflow even in the smaller space, and continue to follow both heating and cooling signals. Make the adjustment with clean, cold components, following the manufacturer's instructions.

What do you need for battery-free operation?

The device uses an external heat source, so you also need to choose a suitable butane lighter or compatible induction heater. When planning to take it with you, consider the heat source's size, power requirements and conditions of use as well. Allow time for the device to cool completely before storage.
