SUPPORT / CLEANING

Cleaning & maintenance.

A little cleaning after each session goes a long way. Residue is easiest to manage before it builds up.

After a session

While the ceramic bowl is still warm, gently wipe the inside with a suitable cleaning swab.

Do not touch the hot stainless-steel chamber exterior.

Do not remove the chamber until it has cooled.

Routine cleaning

  1. Power the device off.
  2. Remove the silicone cap.
  3. Remove the chamber if deeper cleaning is needed.
  4. Wipe accessible chamber and cap surfaces.
  5. Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a swab where necessary.
  6. Keep liquid away from the device body and electrical connections.
  7. Allow cleaned parts to dry completely before reinstalling them.

Do not pour cleaning liquid into SparkIt TRI. Do not submerge the device body. Do not operate SparkIt TRI while cleaning liquid or moisture remains on the chamber or electrical contacts.

Protect the ceramic bowl

Avoid aggressively scraping the ceramic surface.

If residue is difficult to remove, soften it through normal warmth and clean gradually rather than using excessive force.

Clean the cap and airpath

Residue in the cap or accessible airpath can affect draw quality.

If the draw begins feeling more restricted than usual, inspect accessible airflow components after SparkIt TRI has cooled and clean away visible buildup.

When to replace the chamber

The chamber is removable and SparkIt TRI includes a spare. Consider changing chambers if:

  • the existing chamber no longer heats normally;
  • it has physical damage;
  • the ceramic is cracked;
  • cleaning no longer restores normal performance;
  • SparkIt Support asks you to test with the spare chamber while troubleshooting.

Never replace the chamber while it is hot.

Battery & charging

SparkIt TRI contains a 2850 mAh internal lithium battery.

Use USB-C charging equipment in good condition.

Charge SparkIt TRI on a stable surface, in a dry location, away from excessive heat, and where you can inspect the device if something appears abnormal.

Do not charge a wet or damaged device.

Do not use a damaged USB-C cable or connector.

Do not intentionally open, modify, puncture or replace the internal battery.

If the battery area becomes unusually hot, expands, develops an unusual odor or appears physically damaged, disconnect the device if it is safe to do so and stop using it.

Storage and carrying

SparkIt TRI is designed to be compact and portable, but it should be cool before being packed away. Before putting it into a pocket, bag or case:

  • end the heating session;
  • make sure the chamber has cooled;
  • make sure the device is powered off;
  • make sure the cap is secure;
  • keep the chamber reasonably clean to reduce leakage or residue migration.

Do not leave SparkIt TRI for extended periods in extremely hot environments such as a parked vehicle in direct sun. If traveling, check applicable carrier and destination rules for devices containing lithium batteries.
