What should never happen with your inserts.

When using gem inserts here is a list of forbidden things you can't do.

  1. Do not use any liquid cleaner or iso alcohol to clean your gem insert when insert is hot/warm/lukewarm.  It must be completely cooled after at least 10 minutes after use to dip in any liquids to clean. Please refer to our cleaning guide below 
  2. Do not use direct heat and clean your gem inserts.  They will crack from all the extra heat applied to the insert.  Please refer to our cleaning guide below. 
  3. Do not take hot dabs on inserts.  Inserts are meant to be taken at very low temps.  We test our gem inserts with a Dab Rite device and we found that we can go in around 450F-500F degrees.  
  4.  Do not drop hot inserts, they will break and shatter.  Always have a place for your insert to place.  We recommend a silicon pad to place your hot insert to cool down.
