Everything you need to know about the AUXO Cira. need to know

Any simple, straightforward search for “cannabis vaporizers” reveals a market full of relatively similar, sometimes great, and sometimes poorly thought out devices.

Maybe rainbow LEDs, solid gold airways, or candy-colored collaborations stand out from their shelfmates, but new ways of cannabis use are popping up so frequently in today’s marketplace that it can be hard to keep up – especially when it comes to new interpretations of the contemporary E. Rig or the electric dab rig.

Most electric dab rigs are handheld battery operated devices that effectively vaporize concentrates at low, medium, and high temperatures. For the most part, these devices consist of a percolator, a ceramic or quartz heating element and a battery that users can charge via micro-USB. Auxo’s Cira matches that majority and also stands out for some very unique reasons.

Whether you are shopping or just invested in your own, here is everything you need to know about Auxo Cira.

What is the Auxo-Cira?

Auxo is the brand and the Cira is its flagship vaporizer. The Cira works in a similar way to comparable vaporizers; a unique, macaroni-shaped water chamber and bell housing fit snugly on a titanium or quartz nail (or a bowl for the uninitiated) that accentuates the top of the cira’s narrow, rectangular body.

On one side, a digital monitor shows the temperature values ​​of a patent pending heating wire with a range of 450 ° – 1000 °.

How does the Auxo Cira work?

Right out of the box, the Cira is largely intuitive in terms of assembly and ease of use. The unusual shapes of the glass, case and charger only need a moment’s thought before the device is ready to be charged. The instructions themselves are arranged in a simple, tri-fold sheet of paper, similar to the hyper-simple instructions that come with a bookshelf or bed frame that can be clicked together.

The Cira uses proprietary heating technology to distribute and maintain precise temperatures evenly on a titanium or quartz bowl that the consumer can screw into the head of the device. The glass component of the Cira is also unique; The glass is attached to the body via a hand-blown dome that is connected to a percolator mouthpiece and holds about two tablespoons of water. The separate, weighted charging station keeps the device balanced and stable.

Once assembled, you can load the nail / beater with a concentrate of your choice and then press the power button to activate the device. Next, you can set the heating controls to your desired temperature – or stay at the default setting of 450 ° – and double-click the power button to turn on the heating coil. The digital dial on the side of the Cira counts the degrees as the temperature rises and then counts down from 20 when the temperature is reached, giving you a 20-second window to draw a or two. This hang time can be increased by 15 seconds if you double-click the power button within 10 seconds of the countdown.

Assembly

To assemble the Auxo Cira, attach the handset of the device to the weighted charging station. Next, insert either the titanium or quartz banger into the top of the device and screw it in place.

Attach the silicone carb cap leash to the shorter column of the glass element, then slide this barrel-shaped unit over the nail. Attach the carburetor cap to the other end of the line and your Cira is ready to use.

Temperature change

The temperature of the Cira can be controlled via two small buttons directly under the digital front of the device. The device is set to 450 ° by default, but can use temperatures up to 1000 °. To find your ideal temperature, make sure your device is activated and simply use the + or – buttons above the power button to increase or decrease the temperature.

Charge

The Auxo Cira is charged via a detachable charging station, which is connected via the supplied USB / DC cable and a charging box. Although the base is technically removable, it acts as a necessary, weighted base for the device and should be used as such and not for charging only.

Out of the box, the Cira arrives with a little more than half a charge, and a full charge is achieved in less than an hour. The progress is indicated by the percentage on the digital face when the device is booting up, and it is not recommended to use it while it is charging.

cleaning

The Cira cleaning protocol is limited to the removable nails and the glass percolator, both of which can be cleaned by dipping in alcohol. However, a quick swab with a cotton swab will extend the fresh surface of the nail and an occasional rinse with isopropyl should keep the percolator crystal clear.

Always wait until the device has cooled down completely before disassembling it for cleaning.

What’s included

Each Cira package includes:

• Glass percolator
• Handheld battery case
• Charging station
• A titanium nail
• A quartz nail
• Quartz carburetor cover
• Carburetor cap leash made of silicone
• USB / DC charging cable and charging box
• Dab tool
• Cleaning set (individually packed cotton swabs)

The bottom line

The unusual shape and construction of this e-rig feels both unwieldy and unnecessary, especially the detachable charging station without which the device cannot stand on its own. The digital dial makes temperature management easy, but the 20-second countdown and lack of haptic feedback – the small hum that tells you when your dab is “ready” – can make the process difficult and result in wasted, burned concentrates.

The astronomical temperature range effectively precludes low temperature dabbers and is only sold to users who dab at temperatures above the recommended range of 300 ° – 500 °. In my opinion, for the $ 180 Cira, the main draw is aesthetics, and so potential buyers, especially low-temperature buffers, want to stick with the Cira 2.0.
