Vapor Genie Ceramic Concentrate Pad Pack

Vapor Genie Ceramic Concentrate Pads Introducing our new pad for vaping concentrates and oils. Our new pad is made of ceramic (silicon carbide and glass) instead of stainless steel. Our ceramic pads provide cleaner, tastier vapor and will not drip or leak into your vaporizer. Also, our ceramic pads are cleanable and reusable (unlike stainless pads). Upgrade your vaping rig with VaporGenie ceramic pads today!     Our pads come in two diameter sizes: 11mm and 13.4mm. The 11mm size fits the Planet of the Vapes “One” vaporizer. The 13.4mm size fits the Vapor Genie Glass Sherlock vaporizers (Glass Sherlock and Mini Glass Sherlock)

Each diameter size also comes with two dosing sizes: 20mg and 40mg. more on this below. If you want other sizes, please let us know. We plan to offer many more sizes in the future. Our pads may take a little longer to heat up compared to stainless steel pads. But not much longer.

The new VaporGenie ceramic pads have several advantages over conventional stainless steel pads: 

INERT CERAMIC-GLASS MATERIAL: Stainless steel can chemically react with oils and concentrates when heated. The heat of vaporization results in slight pyrolysis (i.e. burning) which create organic acids that can corrode stainless steel. Our pads are made of a silicon carbide-glass composite, which is inert to vaporization conditions and organic acids produced by vaporization. Our ceramic-glass pads therefore provide a cleaner vapor without offensive metallic or rancid flavors.

CLEANABLE AND REUSABLE: Our ceramic-glass pads can be cleaned by incineration. Incineration is easily done by heating the pad with a small torch flame. Incineration completely removes all traces of organic residue and leaves a perfectly clean pad. Stainless steel pads cannot be cleaned by incineration because the temperatures required (400-800C) will burn the stainless. Burned stainless generates large amounts of metal contamination (nickel and chromium oxides) and is therefore unsafe to use. Because stainless pads cannot be cleaned, they must be replaced often. Our ceramic-glass pads can be cleaned over and over again and will never release toxic substances.

NO DRIPS, NO LEAKS: Stainless steel pads often drip and leak into your vaporizer, forming hard-to-remove residue that produces off-flavors. Our ceramic-glass pads do not leak (unless they are over-filled, more on this below), because the pores are very small, much smaller than the pores in a stainless steel pad. Small pores retain liquids better because the capillary forces are stronger. With our ceramic-glass pads you won’t have to worry about your concentrates leaking into your vaporizer.

 A PIT FOR ACCURATE DOSING Our pads have a (patent-pending) pit for accurate dosing. The pit has a precise volume, and so when filled flush the pad holds the same amount of material every time.  The pads are designed with absorption capacity sufficient to retain material from a completely-filled pit. Our pads are available with two pit sizes: 40mg and 20 mg. Our pads can be used in combination. For example, if a 60mg dose is desired, stack a 20mg pad and a 40mg pad together.   The pit-dosing feature works best with material having a paste consistency like that of honey or butter. Use a rubber spatula or scraper to fill the pit level with the top surface. Do not overfill beyond level, because this can oversaturate the pad and result in dripping and leakage.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INCINERATION CLEANING: Place the pad on a heat-resistant and FLAT surface. Hit it with a blue-flame mini torch until it is heated until it stops smoking. Do not heat to red-hot, glowing temperature. Full red heat is not necessary and may cause warping of the pad. A flat surface is necessary because a non-flat surface will cause the pad to bend and warp; a warped pad may not fit properly into your vaporizer. Overheating or warping does not make the pad unsafe to use or damage it in any other way. The chemical composition of the pad is not altered by overheating. Do not attempt to incineration-clean the pad by holding the pad in a flame with tweezers or hemostat. The pad will bend and warp. A recommend surface for incineration cleaning is a flat firebrick. We will soon offer ceramic cleaning "stations" for incineration cleaning.

ABOVE: Vaporgenie ceramic pad is cleaned by incineration using a small torch lighter. You do not have to heat the entire pad to red hot for cleaning. But the edges will glow red. Beware that the pads can bend and warp if not placed on a flat surface.
