💡 Tips & Notes for Use in the Grow Area
Always operate switchable fans at the highest level – regulation is done exclusively via the step transformer.
Only use thermoregulated fans if you can switch them to 100% – otherwise, they are not compatible.
Do not use with devices that, according to the instructions, may not be speed-controlled – otherwise, the warranty may be void.
Use the power switch for complete shutdown – practical for longer idle times or maintenance.
During installation, ensure safe cable routing – strain relief is provided with Torx T10.

Positiv:
+ Handlich, passt gut in die Tasche und für unterwegs
+ Guter Geschmack und gute Extraktion wenn man bei Temperatur an die Rauchgrenze geht
+ Temperatureinstellung über App gradgenau und Boost einstellbar
+ Einfache Bedienung
+ vernünftig zu reinigen
Negativ:
- Akkukapazität viel zu klein. Man muss eigentlich nach fast jedem Dampfen aufladen - mehrmals am Tag!
- Somit wird der Li-Akku kein Jahr durchhalten! Und dann???
- recht hoher Preis
--- Li-Akku nicht selbst ersetzbar(?)
--- Kein Dampfen mit Netzteil / gleichzeitiger Ladung möglich!
Das ist im Gebrauch der Hauptnachteil! Ständig ist das Ding leer.
