Breaking in a new compact vaporizer is a 10-minute task that can save you from disappointing first sessions. Charge it fully, clean it, do a couple of dry burns, and start slow. You'll get a cleaner taste and a device that lasts longer.

If you're giving one as a gift, you can even do the break-in yourself before wrapping it. That's a thoughtful touch that any recipient will appreciate.
