3.1 Charging the Device
Before first use, ensure the SmokeNINJA PRO is fully charged. Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the device's USB-C port and to a compatible power source. The LCD screen will indicate charging status.

- Haze Nozzle: Align the haze nozzle with the magnetic connector on the main unit until it snaps into place. The device will automatically detect the haze nozzle.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your device. After each use, especially if switching between different liquid types, it is recommended to run the device with a small amount of distilled water to flush out any residue. Ensure the device is completely dry before storage.
6.2 Storage
Store the SmokeNINJA PRO HAZER KIT in its protective carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the fog liquid chamber is securely closed to prevent leaks. If storing for extended periods, it is advisable to empty the chamber and clean the device.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Fog Output: Check if the chamber is filled with liquid and if the coil is saturated (allow 5 minutes after filling). Ensure the device is fully charged.
- Overheating: The device has advanced overheating protection. If it stops producing fog, allow it to cool down. Extended continuous use may trigger this safety feature.
- Remote Not Responding: Check the remote's battery. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the device.
- Haze Nozzle Not Pairing: Ensure the haze nozzle is correctly attached magnetically. If issues persist, try detaching and reattaching.
