IMPORTANT
Please read these instructions carefully,
before using your Taifun® LTB.
Dear shopowner,
Thank you for purchasing a Taifun® Liquid - Test - Bar (LTB).
The company SmokerStore has worked long and hard on this
unit, so you can offer your customers a hygienical way to test
liquids.
The unit is divided into a base unit (similar to a vaping device)
and 10 rebuildable atomizers. These are 10 Taifun® GTII
atomizers, specially modified for the LTB, similar to the
atomizers that you already know.
By pushing on one of the 10 control buttons, the respective
atomizer is "activated" and vaporizes the liquid contained in it.
A durable, maintenance-free membrane pump inside the base
unit accelerates the steam, so that the customers can inhale it
without contact to the atomizers.
The excellent taste, the fast and hygienic try out of various
liquids will delight your customers.
Please mind the following instructions for handling the device
and the possible health risks that may be caused by vaping.

Preparations before first use
Saline solution
Give two drops of saline solution into the chamber. This will
increase the electrical conductivity of leaked liquid. The
saline solution is necessary for the correct function of the
sensor.
After a while, a salt crust will form inside the chamber. As
long as the salt crust remains visible, adding of further salt
solution is not necessary.
Coil building
(see: Building of coils)
Filling
(see: Filling of the tank)
Insert shots
Put the acrylic shots carefully into the recesses provided for
them above or below the atomizers.
The acrylic shot with the logo should be attached in the
upper recess.

Using of the Taifun® LTB
Start vaping process
Press and hold the button corresponding to the desired
liquid.
The adjacent LED flashes green for the duration of the
vaping process.
Preparation
For about 1 second air is pumped through the selected
atomizer, without generating steam.
Generating steam
Now, steam is generated for a period of a maximum of 6
seconds. The steam comes out on the upper side of the
atomizer and can then be inhaled.
End of vaping process
After 6 seconds, the Taifun® LTB interrupts the steam
process. Then, air is pumped through the atomizer for a
short time, in order to reduce the formation of
condensation.
By re-pressing the button, the steaming process will start
again.
