You've purchased the FVKD THCA Sugar Disposable — and that was a good decision. This is not a typical vape pen. The FVKD is a premium product, designed to provide an enhanced vaping experience. And to be able to maximize the potential of your FVKD, you need to know how to properly use it.
I have had the pleasure of working with several products similar to this and I understand that knowing a few simple things can make all the difference between a wonderful experience and a frustrating experience. The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to help you navigate your way through every aspect of your FVKD experience — from the moment you remove it from the packaging until you find the right amount to vape each time.
Before We Begin: First Impressions & Setup
As soon as you take the FVKD out of the package, you'll notice that it's quite large — larger than those 1-gram disposables you may be used to. The FVKD contains 3.5 grams of oil, which is twice as much as many other 1-gram disposables. As I always do, I do a quick inspection of the device for any obvious defects — specifically, I look to ensure the oil appears clear and the mouthpiece is free from debris.
Plug it in! Regardless of whether or not it has a bit of a charge left on it, I would suggest you give it a complete charge with the included USB-C cable (Note: Cable is not provided with the purchase, therefore you will need to provide your own cable). The fast charging capabilities of the FVKD are amazing — I've never had to wait longer than 30 minutes for my device to be ready for use after plugging it in. Giving your device a complete charge will allow you to receive consistent performance throughout the entire life of your FVKD.
The Step-by-Step Guide To Using Your FVKD
Step 1: Turn On (The 5-Click Safety Feature)
All modern vapes have a universal safety feature.
Rapidly press the button 5 times. You'll likely see a small light on your device flashing or illuminated — this indicates that your device is turned on and unlocked.
I cannot stress this enough — ALWAYS use the 5-click to shut down your device when you're finished. I've lost count of how many batteries I've saved from being drained dry (and how many pockets I've kept from burning) simply because I made this a habit. It's by far the best method to prevent your device from accidentally firing.
Step 2: Preheat For Optimal Taste (The 2-Click Warm-Up)
Most inexpensive disposables do not include this premium feature and it makes all the difference in the world for a device with a thick, potent oil such as the THCA Sugar.
Quickly click the button 2 times. The device will briefly warm the oil (typically 5-10 seconds). You usually see the light glowing during this process.
I've learned from personal experience that the preheat function is a flavor saver. It gently loosens the dense oil allowing your first hit to be as rich and potent as the tenth. Additionally, it prevents you from having to take a harsh, initial "priming" pull that can sometimes cause the coil to become flooded. For optimal consistency, use the preheat function prior to your first hit of each session.
Step 3: Choose Your Inhalation Technique (Where You Get To Personalize)
The FVKD offers two different methods to vape, and they significantly alter the experience. This is my favorite feature.
Method A: Auto-Draft (25-Watts)
- Just put your lips on the mouthpiece and breathe in. You won't even need to press the button. This produces a smoother, cooler vapor at a lower 25-watt output. This is ideal for relaxed, flavorful hits and is the perfect option for beginners or those with a lower tolerance. The flavor of the cannabis-derived terpenes really shine in this method.
Method B: Button-Fire (35-Watts)
- Hold down the button while you breathe in. This activates the full 35-watts of power. The resulting vapor is thicker and more potent, and the effect is stronger. This is what I use when I want a more instant and intense session. The increased power really brings out the full spectrum of the "THCa + Delta 9 + Delta 8" blend.
I begin my sessions with a button-fire hit to get the initial effect and then switch to auto-draft to maintain it. Experiment to see which technique you prefer!
Step 4: Vape Responsibly (The Gold Standard)
Especially with a strong blend like this, vape low and slow.
Take 1-2 small puffs. Then, WAIT. Seriously — wait 20 minutes.
The effects of inhaled cannabinoids can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes to reach their maximum effect. I've seen too many people, eager to feel something, take 4 or 5 puffs in a row only to end up feeling uncomfortable high 20 minutes later. That 20-minute window is not negotiable. It allows you to gauge the full effect of your initial dose before deciding if you need more. This is the secret to a controlled and enjoyable experience.
Step 5: Power Down (The Final Act)
Once your session is completed, secure your device.
Perform the 5-click button sequence once again. The light on your device will flash, indicating it's off and locked.
Troubleshooting & Tips
- No Vapor? Check the 5-click lock first — it's usually the culprit. If it's on, attempt to activate a preheat cycle (2 clicks), and ensure it has enough of a charge.
- Clogging? It's common — especially with potent blends like THCA Sugar. If the draw feels restricted, try activating the preheat function and then gently tugging on the mouthpiece. The heat will assist in clearing the pathway. Storing the device in an upright position will also help prevent clogs.
- Charging: Use a reputable USB-C cable and a standard phone charger (5V/1A is perfect). You don't need a fast-charging block — a slow and steady charge will be easier on the lifespan of your battery.
- Your Strain Choice Is Important: The strains I mentioned above aren't just names. Alien Kush is truly a heavy, relaxing indica — perfect for late night. Mimosa is a clear-head inducing, uplifting buzz great for social events. Strawberry Cough is a classic sativa that will deliver a focused, energizing buzz. Be sure to choose a strain that matches the type of effect you desire.
With this guide, you're not just learning how to use a disposable vape — you're becoming proficient with a highly advanced piece of cannabis technology. The FVKD THCA Sugar Disposable is designed to provide you with a premium, clean and powerful vaping experience from the first hit to the final hit. Enjoy it responsibly.
