Flowermate CAP Pro

Flowermate asks you to fill the CAP Pro oven at least three quarters full, so 0.3 grams of herb sits pressed against glass glazed stainless steel for a whole five minute session. Resin bakes onto those blue glazed walls and around the two air intake ports at the base, and whatever the vapor carries onward lands in the magnetic mouthpiece, where a fine steel screen and a zirconia spiral sit in the airpath. A fine grind clogs that mouthpiece screen faster than anything else on this vaporizer, so grind medium.

1. Let it cool first: Flowermate cleans the CAP Pro only once it has cooled completely, and asks for the same before loading it. The manual suggests a clean every three to five sessions.

2. Empty the oven: Pull the magnetic mouthpiece straight off, tip the spent load out, then knock any clumps off the chamber walls with the pack tool before the included brush goes in.

3. Wipe the glaze: The manual calls for a cotton bud dipped in vape cleaning solution. Isopropyl on a swab does the same job, but damp rather than dripping so nothing runs past the chamber screen into the heater below.

4. Split the mouthpiece: It comes apart into a plastic body, a rubber gasket, the fine metal screen and the zirconia insert. Free that screen by pressing one end down and drawing it out instead of prying at the middle.

5. Soak the parts: The manual asks for a couple of minutes in vape cleaning solution and a warm water rinse. Heavier buildup takes ten minutes in isopropyl for the screens, zirconia insert and gasket, then a hot rinse. Dry everything fully before reassembly.

6. Swap screens rather than scrub them: Both screens are stainless steel and the kit ships only one of each. Chamber screens sell in threes and mouthpiece screens in twos, so keep spares and retire one once it stays dark after a soak.

7. Clear the rim before packing: Flowermate warns to remove excess plant material from around the filling chamber so the mouthpiece re-fits tightly.

Give a new unit a burn off first: press the up button five times to wake it, set 230C, let it heat for twenty seconds and leave it idle until the five minute timer shuts it off, once or twice. That clears manufacturing residue, and the same empty run drives off alcohol after a deep clean. The 2000mAh cell is internal and not user replaceable, so use the hour it takes to charge rather than storing the device flat. If you run concentrates in this oven, leave a screen in the base so nothing drips onto the heating element.
