Node Filling Directions
Recommended Needle Size
Ideal fill temperature
Capping time
18-20ga
90°F/32°C (thinner oils) – 135°F/57°C (thicker oils)
3 mins or less (depending on viscosity)
Insert a blunt tip 18 to 20g needle into the space between the center airway tube and the inner wall of the cartridge body. Caution: Do not allow oil to enter the center airway.
90°F/32°C (thinner oils) | 135°F/57°C (thicker oils)
The ideal fill temperature will allow for filling and capping before the oil saturates the atomizer.
Oversaturation from hot filling, thin oils, and/or slow capping will cause flooding, clogging and leaking.
Do not overfill your devices! Fill to a max of 1.04mL or 2.5mm from the top of the tank. Overfilling may cause seal bulging and will force fluid through the atomizer.
Cap within 3 minutes after filling. We recommend a shorter period of time for thinner oils. Immediately after filling, cap the device with the mouthpiece until it’s fully seated.
Warning: Do not use fast or hight powered chargers that output more than 5v 1a. This may damage the battery.
PRO TIP:
FAILURE TO INSERT THE MOUTHPIECE WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF FILLING, MAY CAUSE CLOGGING OR LEAKAGE.
Node Capping Directions

Make sure the mouthpiece is properly aligned and straight. Press the mouthpiece down vertically (and not at an angle) using level, even pressure, until you hear a click. This sound indicates the mouthpiece is fully seated.
You can seat the mouthpiece by hand, but a light-duty arbor press and jig are recommended. Do not use a hammer or mallet. Pressing at an angle can lead to damage, improper sealing, leakage, and cracking of the device.
If too much pressure is applied during capping, you can damage the device and the battery. Check the pressure carefully.
You cannot remove the mouthpiece once it’s fully seated without damaging the device or the mouthpiece.
Let your devices stand for between 30 minutes to 12 hours before using. During this time, the oil is priming the atomizer. More viscous oils will require more time.
Warning: Do not use fast or hight powered chargers that output more than 5v 1a. This may damage the battery.
