Saionara Quick Start Guide
Revision 3 – February 2017
IMPORTANT!
Don't burn up your new coils! Set your battery box-mod to the appropriate Wattage for your chosen coil before attaching the Saionara atomizer assembly to the battery.
Some examples of batteries that are known to work with the Saionara are:
ELeaf iStick Pico 75W, Eleaf iStick Nano 40W, NME Pioneer N-75, SXK Nebula
60, Tesla Stealth 40, Vaporesso Target Mini 40W, Tesla Stealth 40 TC;
Joyetech eVic VTC Mini, Dual, and Vtwo, Cuboid 150, Itsuwa iFancy 40 and 50,
Innokin Coolfire IV series, Hana Modz v4s.
PARTS OF THE SAIONARA
1. Mouthpiece
2. Top cover
3. Atomizer base (with airflow adjustment holes)
4. Atomizer coil (screws down into atomizer base)
CHOOSING A BATTERY
In order to use the Saionara, you'll need a vaporizer battery, also known as a
“box mod”, with the following features:
* 510 female electrical connector. This is the standard connector on most vaporizer batteries.
* Adjustable Wattage in the range of 7 to 28 Watts.
* Sub-ohm capable. This means the battery works with atomizers that have less than one ohm of resistance. Some Saionara coils have a little as
0.25 ohms of resistance.
For multi-mode batteries, the Saionara usually works best in variable wattage
(VW) mode. Some kinds of Saionara coils may also be used in temperature control (TC) mode on some box mods.
CHOOSING WHICH COIL TO USE
There are many different coil options for the Saionara. New varieties of coils are added from time to time, so there may be some coils on the market that aren't covered in this guide. Some of the most popular coils include the following:
* The Kanthal on Quartz (KQ) or “classic wax” coil: Two flat ribbons of kanthal wire are twisted around a quartz rod. Recommended power: 15 to 28 Watts. Recommended load size: 0.05 to 0.3 grams.
* The Kanthal on Ceramic (KC) or “black ceramic wax” coil: Two flat ribbons of kanthal wire are twisted around a wicking rod of porous black ceramic. Recommended power: 15 to 28 Watts. Recommended load size: 0.05 to 0.3 grams.
* The Stainless on Ceramic (SC) coil: Two strands of SS316L wire are wrapped around a wicking rod of porous black ceramic. Recommended power: 10 to 18 Watts. Recommended load size: 0.05 to 0.2 grams.
* The Miracle A (MA) coil: Bottom-wicking eCapple ceramic barrel coil with solid outer layer and porous inner layer. Recommended power: 7 to
15 Watts. Recommended load size: 0.025 to 0.1 grams.
* The Miracle B (MB) coil: Top-loading eCapple ceramic barrel coil with solid outer layer and porous inner layer. Recommended power: 7 to 15
Watts. Recommended load size: 0.01 to 0.05 grams of solid or 2-10
* drops of liquid.
(COMING SPRING 2017) The Ceramic Donut (CD) coil: 10mm flat ceramic disk heating element. Recommended power: 8 to 15 Watts.
Recommended load size: 0.025 to 0.1 grams.
HOW TO OPERATE THE SAIONARA
* Attach the Saionara to your battery box mod by screwing the threaded post on the bottom of the atomizer firmly into the battery's 510 connector.
* Turn the battery on and adjust the power level to an appropriate
Wattage for the coil you will be using.
* Remove the top cap from the Saionara and make sure the coil is screwed all the way into the atomizer base. Sometimes the coil can vibrate loose during shipping.
* Burn Off: If the coil is brand new (never heated) press and hold the fire button on the battery for about five seconds to burn off any residual oils.
* Load your oil into the coil: For most kinds of coils, just place your dab of oil/wax /shatter right onto the top of the coil, near the center. For the
Miracle B coil, place your oil into the small slot on the top of the coil.
* Pre Heat: If you are using the Miracle A or B coils, press the fire button on the battery for 1-3 seconds to begin wicking the oil into the ceramic layers inside the coil.
* Place the top cover back onto the Saionara.
* Hit the Vape!: Raise the Saionara mouthpiece to your mouth and prepare to inhale. Press and hold the fire button on the battery for about
5 to 10 seconds while inhaling deeply. You can adjust the inhalation time up or down to suit your personal preference.
* Depending on the amount of oil that was loaded, you may be able to hit the vape more than once before it needs to be reloaded with more oil.
* To adjust the airflow, grip and twist the ring at the base of the Saionara to cover or uncover the air holes on the side of the base. More holes visible means more air.
CLEANING THE SAIONARA
* Detach the Saionara from the battery.
* Remove the mouthpiece, top cover, and coil from the Saionara atomizer base.
* Remove the rubber o-rings from the atomizer base and mouthpiece.
* Pour several ounces of 99% isopropyl alcohol into a cup or bowl.
* Submerge everything (except the battery and o-rings) into the alcohol and let soak for several hours.
* Shake off any excess alcohol and let the pieces air dry for about an hour.
* Reassemble and enjoy.

Saionara:
Temperature Control Addendum
This addendum to the Saionara Quick Start Guide introduces the
Temperature Control (TC) features.
WHAT IS TC?
Most regulated vape batteries (box mods) simply keep the amount of power that is being fed to the vape coil at a constant preset power level, in watts or volts, that you have selected on the box's control panel. However, some box mods have a feature called Temperature Control or TC. With TC, a microprocessor inside the mod is constantly measuring resistance changes in the coil wire and constantly adjusting the power to keep the coil near the desired vaping temperature that you have chosen. The two primary benefits of TC are (1) cooler vapor and (2) longer coil life.
Since there is no temperature sensor in 510-based vape devices, the temperature control feature depends on the coil wire having a very predictable change in resistance as the coil's temperature changes. Some materials, such as stainless steel and nichrome, are very good for this purpose, while some materials, such as Kanthal, are too unpredictable or have too small of a resistance change to be useful for TC.
* (COMING SPRING 2017) Ceramic Donut (CD): This coil is made from
Nichrome wire embedded in a metallic ceramic disk. It is compatible with most mods that offer a "NI" or "NI200" temperature control mode.
Something to be aware of is that there's a bit of a delayed reaction with ceramic disks compared to open wire coils. Since the wire is embedded inside a thick layer of ceramic, the ceramic disk takes a second or two longer than the wire to come up to full temperature, and the ceramic stays hot for a few seconds longer after the wire inside has started to cool down.
SETTING UP TEMPERATURE CONTROL
* Some mods have a "pre heat" or "pre boost" or "ramp up" feature that runs the coil at a higher than normal wattage for a fraction of a second to bring the coil up to temperature very fast. If your mod has a separate wattage limit setting for this feature, set it near the maximum recommended wattage of the coil (for example, 18 Watts for the stainless on ceramic coil) or if the lowest available setting on the mod is higher than the recommended coil wattage, then use the lowest available setting on the mod. For example, on the Innokin Coolfire TC100 mod, 25 Watts is the lowest available setting for the "ramp up pre boost" feature, so 25 Watts would be the appropriate setting for that mod even though the coil's rated maximum is 18 Watts. Since the higher wattage is only applied for a fraction of a second and only when the coil is cold, the momentary extra power boost doesn't harm the coil even after many, many uses.
Setting up TC features is different for each kind of box mod, so you'll need to consult your mod's instructions for specific details.
Generally, you'll need to set up the following:
* If the mod has multiple regulation modes, switch it to Temperature
Control (TC) mode.
* Some battery mods have custom temperature coefficient (TCR) or custom temperature curve mode that can sometimes be used if the builtin temperature control modes don't work well with the kind of wire in a particular coil. These custom settings are beyond the scope of this guide.
Please consult the instructions for your battery box mod for more details.
* If the mod supports different kinds of wire for TC mode, select the wire type that matches the coil you will be using. For a stainless steel coil, the wire type is usually called "SS" or "SS316L" on most mods. For ceramic donut coils, the wire type is usually called "NI" or "NI200" on most mods.
Coil materials and TC modes are not interchangeable! For example, running a stainless steel coil on the nichrome setting (or vice versa) does not work. Doing so could damage or burn out the coil.
Once TC has been set up on the battery mod, the Saionara may be loaded and operated as usual. If the mod flashes an error or switches from TC mode back to Wattage mode, the mod and coil may not be compatible with each other in
TC mode. Please refer to your battery mod's instruction guide for more information.
A few examples of battery box mods with TC modes that are Saionara compatible are the eVic VTC, vTwo, and Cuboid; Eleaf iStick Pico 75; Tesla
Stealth 40 TC; Innokin Cool Fire IV TC100.
* Set the desired vaping temperature on the mod. Many Sionara users seem to like temperatures in the 320F-400F range. You can try different temperatures to find out what works best for you.
WHICH SAIONARA COILS WORK WITH TC
The following Saionara coils are compatible with the TC modes on some box mods:
* Stainless on Ceramic (SC): This coil is made from 316L stainless steel wire. It is compatible with most mods that offer a "SS" or "SS316L" temperature control mode.
* Some mods regulate by both wattage AND temperature when running in
Temperature Control mode. If this applies to your mod, then set the wattage to the middle of the recommended power range for the coil you will be using. For example, the recommended power range for the
Saionara's Stainless on Ceramic (SC) coil is 10-18 Watts, so about 14
Watts is a good value to try.
