Healthy Rips Rogue

Convection keeps baked on residue out of the Rogue's stainless steel chamber, so the mess collects one step further along. Under the stock mouthpiece, which our review found to be mostly plastic apart from a stainless mesh screen and the silicone O-ring gripping it, those two parts catch the dust lifted off a loose load and the resin that condenses the moment vapor leaves the oven. A draw that has turned stiff is nearly always a screen problem.

1. Everyday clean. Grip the mouthpiece between two fingers and pull it away from the body, tip the spent load out and run the cleaning brush around the chamber. Tweezers are the easier way to pick out anything welded to the chamber wall. Loading halfway or more without pressing down, as Healthy Rips asks, leaves less debris on the screen.

2. Strip the mouthpiece. Lift the O-ring and mesh out of the underside, then pull the screen free of the O-ring so both faces can be reached. The Rogue manual has you brush the two with ISO alcohol, then rinse them off under the tap instead of letting them soak. Order replacements by colour: the original Rogue takes blue silicone O-rings while the Rogue 2 and SE take black, and the sets do not swap.

3. Weekly deep clean. Healthy Rips schedules the full strip down every week. Barely wet a Q-tip with ISO alcohol, then wipe around the empty chamber and through the glass stem. Nothing should be allowed to run down inside, and the unit itself never goes in alcohol; our review was blunt that the Rogue is not built for that kind of aggressive cleaning.

4. Accessories attachment and glass. The attachment pushes out of the top on its own and carries the glass stem mouthpiece, so it collects residue at both ends. Because they come away completely, the attachment, the bent stem and the glass WPA, which suits 10mm, 14mm and 18mm joints, can all sit in isopropyl before a warm rinse.

5. Refit and burn off. Press the dried screen and O-ring back on, reassemble, then give the empty device a two minute heat cycle to clear any alcohol left in the airpath. From new, make that first cycle five minutes at the top temperature.

The sealed 3000mAh lithium polymer cell fills over USB-C in under two hours. Nothing on the Rogue supports pass through use, so leave it alone while it charges, and Healthy Rips asks that it is not left on charge overnight or unattended. Store it somewhere dry, and keep the soft cover on the mouthpiece in a bag or pocket so lint stays out of the airpath.

Perfect as a session vaporizer with its precise temperature control and extended battery life, the Rogue excels for outdoor adventures with its durable construction. The included glass mouthpiece delivers clean flavor, while the discreet design makes it great for stealth usage.

The Rogue is also one of the easiest vaporizers to clean with simple maintenance requirements. Learn about optimal temperature settings to get the most from your sessions. For an upgraded version, check out the Healthy Rips Rogue 2, or for a more budget option, see the Fury Edge.
