What are Omura Flowersticks?
Unlike many of the other dry herb vaporisers on the market, Omura Vaporisers use Flowersticks instead of loose medical cannabis flower.
Why?
The main advantages of the Omura Flowersticks are that they not only act as a mouthpiece for the vaporiser, eliminating any contact between your mouth and the device (keeping the process super hygienic), but also separate the ground medical cannabis flower from the heating element, avoiding any risk of combustion and keeping the device clean.
This ensures a more consistent dose with each use and keeps the vape itself clean and free from residue.
What is the Flowerstick Home Fill System?
To improve the patient experience (and to help patients with dexterity or mobility/tremor issues who may struggle to fill the Flowersticks), Omura has created the Flowerstick Home Fill System.
This allows patients to easily and quickly fill 16 Flowersticks at home with their pre-ground medical cannabis flower.
For many patients, that is enough medication to last between 5 and 8 days (some patients who are prescribed higher doses may need to fill their Flowersticks more frequently).
How to use the Flowerstick Home Fill System
The Flowerstick Home Fill System has been designed to work seamlessly with new packets of Flowersticks. These packets hold 16 flower sticks and slide directly into the Home Fill System once the lid has been flipped open.
So, the process is as follows:
- The patient (or their carer) will need to grind between 1.5 and 2 grams of the prescribed medical cannabis flower.
- Slide the opened packet of empty Flowerstick into the designated slot on the Home Fill System. It is recommended that you check the Flowersticks with the openings to ensure they are fully open and ready for filling.
- Carefully sprinkle the ground medical cannabis flower into the top of the Home Fill System. It will drop through the holes and start to fill the Flowersticks.
- The Home Fill System comes with a handy spatula, which can be used to help evenly distribute the ground medical cannabis flower within the Home Fill System, ensuring each Flowerstick is filled consistently.
- You may need to gently tap and shake the Home Fill System to ensure each Flowerstick is filled to the top and the flower is evenly distributed.
- The top of the Home Fill System serves as an effective tamping tool. Use this tamping top to press down and compact the medical cannabis into the Flowersticks.
- Do not use more than 2 grams of ground medical cannabis in the Home Fill System at one time. Trying to use more than 2 grams at one time can result in the medical cannabis flower being overly compacted, which can lead to poor performance when vaporising.
And that's it. You should now have 16 Flowersticks perfectly filled and ready to go.
