TAAV Vaporaire Questions & Answers

I had the same scenario but the chemist warehouse store that i purchased did the whole exchange process. I just had to wait for a week for my new unit to arrive from NSW.

Go back again and ask them to initiate the exchange process

Good day Madz, did you end up getting the contact details as I have the same issue atm

The one I have the lid has to be turned anti-clockwise

Hi there You can get it from chemist warehouse, I've also attached a link to help finding it easier for you. Hope this helps :) external link 

The unit I possess also makes a noise but it’s not pronounced. I can only suggest to be safe, that you fill the volume of water 2-3 fingers below the water line. If the bubbling boiling water ispurts hot water through the spout, turn off the unit immediately from the electricity supply source and return it to the store.

Take it back for a refund or the water will dribble down and short the switch and eventually burn out, catch fire or electrocute you.

There’s no reason why it should spit hot water intermittently which can be dangerous as you can not only get burnt but if the water comes in contact with the electrical components it can short-circuit the entire electrical system in your house. Hopefully you have safely switches installed.

Sadly, you cannot and don’t attempt to lest you damage the unit. I suspect you want to clean it and to do this you need to purchase tablets (instructions on tablet bottle). The tablets will loosen and break down the mineral deposit built up on the electrodes. I have not used the tablets so don’t know how effective they are. I give my unit a good wash under a running tap. Obviously disconnecting the cable before doing so and ensuring the electric points are well and truly dry before I reattach the cable.

Vapour water will only generate steam which is ineffective. The menthol in the vaporiser fluid (mixed with the water) is effective to clear lungs, dry eyes, assist clearing sinuses, etc.

Yes you can, but it is safer to return the TAAV Vaporaire to the store or put it in the bin before it electrocutes you or sets your house on fire.

I know the one you are referring to and I have used it without any incident. Half s cup with max water should suffice. I however buy the one from Chemist Warehouse that is used for vaporisers.

Evan! wth was that answer?

Please explain further!

I have been using my daily for some weeks now. I just wash/rinse it out every morning and every two weeks I cut a tablet in half and insert it into where I pour the water and vapor liquid.

I would assume you would need to crush them up to get them through the grills. Pretty silly considering it doesn't come apart for cleaning, but having said that, it did state on the side of the box the vapouriser came in, that no maintenance is required. Personally after my experience with this brand, i will not recommend them at all for the serious electrical risk involved. I have since bought a Vicks brand, which comes apart for cleaning and have had no issues now or over the years i have owned them in the past.

Thank you very much indeed! I thought I have missed something. Yes it is very silly that the cleaning tablet is of the same brand, but not compatible. Thanks Sue for the heads up on electrical risk in this product.
