Overview

The Tornado GTL is a vaping device designed for ease of use and a customizable experience, featuring a compact pen-style form factor. It is manufactured by Pillbox38 (UK) Ltd under the brand Totally Wicked.

Function Description

The Tornado GTL is an electronic cigarette kit that allows users to vaporize e-liquid. It operates by heating an atomizer head, which in turn vaporizes the e-liquid for inhalation. The device supports both button-activated and vacuum-activated (draw-activated) vaping. It offers adjustable power levels and airflow to suit individual preferences.

Usage Features

Priming the Atomizer Head: Before first use, it is crucial to "prime" a new atomizer head to prevent damage. This involves removing the cartridge from the battery, dripping a few drops of e-liquid onto the cotton inlets on the side of the atomizer head, inserting the atomizer head into the cartridge, and reattaching the cartridge to the battery. After filling the cartridge for the first time with a new atomizer head, it is recommended to wait 5 minutes for the atomizer head to fully prime before vaping.

Filling the Cartridge: To fill the cartridge, slide the top of the cartridge in the direction indicated by the arrow on the top-cap. Fill the cartridge, ensuring an air gap of approximately 2mm is left above the e-liquid to avoid air-locks. Slide the top-cap back to close the cartridge.

Switching On and Off: The Tornado GTL can be switched on or off by quickly pressing the power button five times. The indicator light will flash three times to confirm the action.

Vaping: The device supports two vaping modes:

  1. Button-activated: Press and hold the power button while gently inhaling the vapor. Release the button when finished inhaling. The indicator light will illuminate while the button is held down.
  2. Vacuum-activated: Simply inhale on the mouthpiece to activate the device automatically. Note that due to the sensitivity of the automatic switch, this mode may only work with certain airflow settings. If it's not working, adjusting the airflow to a less "open" setting might help.

Adjusting Airflow: To customize the draw, rotate the airflow adjuster to expose fewer or more holes of different sizes. Users can experiment to find their preferred airflow setting.

Changing Output Modes (Power Level): The Tornado GTL has three power settings: Low (Red LED), Medium (Blue LED), and High (Green LED). To cycle through these settings, with the device switched on, press the power button three times in quick succession. The LED surrounding the button will illuminate for a couple of seconds, indicating the current power setting. During normal operation, the LED color indicates battery charge, not power setting.

Battery Life Indication: The LED surrounding the power button also indicates the battery charge level when the power button is pressed during normal operation or in automatic operation.

  • Green LED: 100% - 60%
  • Blue LED: 59% - 20%
  • Red LED: 19% - 0%

Charging the Battery: Insert the supplied USB-C cable into the Tornado GTL charge port and connect the other end to a USB port or suitable wall adapter. The indicator light will flash at the current battery level during charging. Once fully charged, the indicator light will switch off. The device can be used while charging.

E-liquid Level Management: To prevent the atomizer head from drying out and burning prematurely, ensure that the e-liquid level never drops below the four fluid feed holes located around the bottom of the atomizer head.

Maintenance Features

Atomizer Head Lifespan and Replacement: Atomizer heads are consumable items and need periodic replacement, typically lasting from a few days to several weeks, depending on usage. Indicators for replacement include a slight burnt taste, general loss of vapor production, or a reduction in flavor intensity. To replace an atomizer head:

  1. Remove the cartridge from the device by pulling straight up.
  2. Invert the cartridge 180 degrees.
  3. Remove the old atomizer head by pulling it out.
  4. If the cartridge is full or nearly full, some e-liquid leakage from the mouthpiece may occur, so it's advisable to perform this over tissue paper.
  5. Prime a new atomizer head (as described above).
  6. Insert the new atomizer head into the cartridge by pushing.
  7. Leave the new atomizer head to sit in a full e-liquid cartridge for five minutes before vaping to ensure full saturation.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

  • Battery and Cartridge Connection: Can be cleaned by wiping with tissue or a dry cloth.
  • Cartridge: Can be cleaned by removing it from the battery and detaching the atomizer head. The entire cartridge and its base can be cleaned under warm running water. Allow the cartridge to dry fully before refitting the atomizer head.
  • Connector Area: Regularly wipe the connector and the area under the cartridge dry to ensure reliable operation.
  • Atomizer Head: Do not allow the atomizer head to come into contact with water to prevent damage.
  • Battery Unit: Do not submerge the Tornado GTL battery unit in water or allow it to get wet.

Protections

  • Atomizer Head Protection: If the power button is held for longer than 10 seconds, the indicator light will flash 5 times, and the device will stop producing vapor. Releasing the button resumes normal operation.
  • Low Voltage Protection: If the battery voltage drops to 3.3 volts, the indicator light will flash 20 times, and the device will switch off. Charging the battery will restore normal operation.
  • Short Circuit Protection: If an atomizer short circuit occurs, the indicator light will flash 5 times, and the device will switch off. Replacing the atomizer head is necessary to resolve this.

Product Storage and Battery Precautions

  • Store the Tornado GTL kit and accessories away from children when not in use.
  • Ensure the device is powered off when not in use.
  • Avoid accidentally pressing the power button when not in use.
  • Only use the provided charging cable.
  • Dispose of dead batteries according to local regulations.
  • Do not charge batteries in a damp environment.
  • Do not use the device when temperatures are outside the range of -10°C to 60°C.
  • Do not charge the battery when temperatures are outside the range of 0°C to 45°C.
  • Do not attempt to repair a faulty Tornado GTL, as these are sealed units with no serviceable parts. Attempted repairs will void the warranty.

Warranty

The Tornado GTL kit components come with a 6-month parts warranty, with the exception of atomizer heads, which are consumable items covered only by a "dead on arrival" warranty. The USB cable has a 12-month warranty. For faulty parts within the warranty period, users should contact customer service for a replacement. Goods may need to be returned for investigation.

Warning

This product contains magnets. Individuals with an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) or pacemaker should avoid close or prolonged contact with pods not fitted into the battery. The assembled device should be kept at least 15cm away from where the medical device is implanted.
