Just unboxed your shiny, new AirVape Legacy Pro? Looking for ways to get the most performance and flavor out of it? Here’s 7 super-actionable AirVape Legacy Pro tips and tricks you 100% need to know…
Apollo’s AirVape Pro Legacy is perhaps one of the most-loved and well-respected weed vaporizers on the planet. In many ways, it matches titans of the industry like the Mighty+ which is no mean feat.
But to get the absolute most out of this epic vaporizer, it’s handy to know a few tips and tricks – stuff that isn’t mentioned in the manual.
I tested out the AirVape Pro Legacy a few months back and, during this time, I’ve picked up a few handy hacks and tricks that make it run better, more efficiently, and all that jazz.
Here’s 7 super-actionable AirVape Legacy Pro tips and tricks that every new user needs to know to get the most out this super-smart vaporizer…
How To Use The AirVape Legacy Pro (Like A Seasoned Pro)…
1. Dial in the Temperature for Better Flavor
One of the most common questions from new Legacy Pro users is, “Why doesn’t it taste great at higher temps?” The answer to this is simple: weed doesn’t like being fried quickly. You’re much better off slowly ramping up the temperature.
Concentrates (which the Legacy Pro will also do) are a different story. With these, high temps are your best friend.
If you’re noticing that your herb tastes overcooked or lacks flavor, try adjusting your draw technique and temperature settings:
- Sweet Spot Temps: Start at 360°F to 390°F (182°C to 199°C). These temperatures maximize flavor without charring the herb. Lower temps bring out terpenes, while slightly higher settings release denser vapor.
- Shorter Draws: Take short, controlled sips (no more than 5 seconds) instead of long, deep pulls. The Legacy Pro’s powerful heater can deplete a bowl in 3-4 hits if you rip too hard.
- Smooth Airflow: Don’t fight the airflow. Pull gently and consistently, almost like you’re breathing calmly through the device. This preserves the flavor for multiple hits.
Pro Tip: After getting 5-6 flavorful draws, ramp the power up and go for one longer hit to finish the bowl.
2. Keep It Clean – Your Flavor Depends on It
The AirVape Legacy Pro truly shines when it’s kept clean. Residue can build up surprisingly fast, especially after just a few sessions, and this buildup can significantly impact the flavor, leaving your hits less satisfying.
Regular maintenance isn’t just recommended — it’s essential. Gunk will start impacting its performance quickly, so make sure you stay on top of maintenance.
After every few sessions, follow these steps:
- Quick Clean: Soak removable parts (like the mouthpiece and screens) in isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes, then rinse and dry.
- Deep Clean: Use a baggie or small container with iso to clean harder-to-reach areas. This ensures every session tastes fresh.
Bonus Tip: Consider picking up accessories like a glass pathway for cooler, smoother vapor, and less frequent cleaning.
3. Use Accessories to Optimize Your Sessions
The AirVape Legacy Pro has a growing ecosystem of tools and accessories that can make it even more user-friendly:
- Dosing Caps: These are great for reducing mess and making it easier to swap bowls mid-session.
- Loading Tool: This makes packing the chamber easier, especially on the go.
- Screens: Add extra screens to reduce residue buildup and help manage airflow if you prefer a more restricted draw.
Pro Tip: Want to make your herb last longer? The brick builder accessory spreads out the heat for more even vaporization.
4. Customize Your Session Timer
One minor complaint about the Legacy Pro is the default 3-minute session timer. But here’s the good news: you can adjust it. Extending the session time gives your herb a little more heat saturation, while shorter timers are perfect for microdosing.
To change the session length, refer to the manual, or hold specific buttons on the device. It’s a small tweak that makes a big difference.
5. Take Advantage of the Trade-In Program
Did you know AirVape offers a lifetime warranty and a 50% trade-in discount on future models? This is one of the standout perks of investing in an AirVape product.
If you’re worried about wear and tear or want to upgrade down the line, this program makes it easy and affordable. There will be new models released.
The AirVape Legacy Pro 2 is rumored to be coming soon, so if you want to upgrade to that next year, you could save 50% on it by trading in your current AirVape Legacy Pro.
7. Troubleshooting Common Complaints
As with anything mechanical, things can glitch-out or not work perfectly every time. For this reason, if your AirVape Legacy Pro ain’t playing ball, for whatever reason, there’s a few things you can do as quick-fixes.
Here’s the most common issues / problems AirVape Legacy Pro users face, and how to quickly fix them:
- Loose Airflow: Cover the airflow intake at the bottom with your finger to create more resistance for a tighter draw.
- Long Heat-Up Time: The Legacy Pro heats up in about 15-20 seconds. That’s the advertised time. But it can take longer, like when the battery is low – or it’s just having an off day. My advice? Let the herb warm up before hitting it, even after the device vibrates to indicate it’s ready.
- Messy Chamber: Dosing caps or screens can reduce debris and make cleanup a breeze. This is perhaps the best hack of all; the Legacy Pro gets messy AF without them very quickly. Dosing caps are inexpensive and will save you all kinds of headaches in the long run.
