XVape Fyra

Because the Fyra swaps heads, residue collects in different places depending on how you use it. XVape recommends cleaning the chamber, the 510 adaptor and the glass mouthpiece after each use, and the scraping tool needed for the job is stored in the top of the device. Concentrate use in particular needs attention straight away, before the residue cools and hardens.

Quick Cleaning (After Each Session)

1. Let it cool and pull out the tool: Give the head a minute, then pull the scraping tool from the top of the device.
2. Scrape and brush the herb head: Scrape the used material out of the chamber, then sweep the rest away with the supplied brush.
3. Rinse the glass bubbler: Warm water or alcohol through the bubbler, then blow through the mouthpiece to clear the water out.

Deeper Cleaning (Every Few Sessions)

1. Remove the head and adaptor together: Hold the herb head and twist left, keeping pressure on, until the adaptor comes away with it.
2. Swab the chamber: Dip a cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol and scrub the sides and base of the chamber in a circular motion. Do not fill the chamber with liquid.
3. Clean the 510 adaptor: Residue on the threads and the airway is what causes weak or intermittent firing. Wipe the threads with an alcohol pad and let them dry.
4. Soak the bubbler if it is stained: Alcohol clears the glass. Rinse with warm water afterwards and shake the water out completely.
5. Replace a clogged screen: Two mesh screens come in the box. Swapping a screen is faster than trying to clear a badly caked one.
6. Dry everything before reassembling: XVape is explicit that the whole device must be dry before it is used again.

Care Tips for Better Results

• Do not overload the herb head. XVape says too much material heats unevenly and blocks the filter, which chokes the draw. See our grind guide.
• Cap the dip tip after use. The cap keeps residue off everything else in your pocket.
• Wipe the outside with a slightly damp swab or paper towel, not alcohol, to protect the finish.
• A slow, long inhale gives denser and better tasting vapor than a hard pull, especially with the bubbler fitted.
• For general technique, read our guide on how to clean a dry herb vaporizer.

The Fyra suits someone who does not want to carry three devices. One battery covers flower, concentrate and 510 cartridges, and the glass bubbler means every one of those runs through water, so it is a cheap way into water filtered vaping without buying a rig. At its price it sits comfortably in our budget portables territory, and because the dip tip and cartridges fire on demand it can also be a quick one hit device when you do not want a full session.

The compromises are the usual ones for a device that tries to do everything. The herb head is small and only runs a fixed three minute session, so it is not a replacement for a proper flower vaporizer, and the five preset temperature steps give less control than a device with by degree adjustment. XVape also states the battery is sealed in and that the device should not be used while charging, so runtime is what it is. If dry herb is your main use, read what is a dry herb vaporizer and how does it work and compare against a dedicated unit from our dry herb vaporizers list before deciding.
