How to Use the IMOTO G2 E-Hookah Kit: Complete Setup Guide

The IMOTO G2 E-Hookah Kit offers a modern way to enjoy a traditional hookah session without using charcoal. Its electronically controlled heating system provides consistent heat, simple temperature adjustment, and a cleaner setup experience.

If you are using the IMOTO G2 for the first time, this guide will walk you through the complete process—from assembling the base and loading the bowl to selecting the right heating level and extending your session.

What You Need Before Getting Started

Before setting up your IMOTO G2, prepare the following items:

• IMOTO G2 Base
• IMOTO G2 E-Hookah Head
• Ceramic bowl and optional tobacco plate
• Hookah tobacco or compatible hookah mixture
• Water
• Hose
• Charged replaceable battery or DC power cable

Make sure the device and all removable components are clean, dry, and properly connected before use.

Step 1: Add Water to the G2 Base

Remove the upper section or lid of the IMOTO G2 Base and carefully pour water into the transparent water chamber.

Do not fill the chamber above the indicated maximum water level. Adding too much water may affect airflow and the overall performance of the device.

Once the correct amount of water has been added, place the lid back onto the base and rotate it until it is securely locked.

Step 2: Assemble the IMOTO G2 Base

Check that the base, water chamber, lid, hose, and seals are properly installed.

A secure connection is important because loose components may cause air leaks and reduce smoke output. After assembly, make sure the lid is locked and the hose is firmly connected to the side port.

Step 3: Install the IMOTO G2 E-Hookah Head

Align the bottom of the G2 E-Hookah Head with the air tube on the base.

Insert the head vertically into the device and ensure it sits firmly in position. Avoid inserting it at an angle or forcing the connection, as this may damage the connector or affect airflow.

Step 4: Load the Ceramic Bowl

Place your hookah tobacco or compatible hookah mixture evenly inside the ceramic bowl.

The approximate capacity is:

• With the tobacco plate: 10–15 g
• Without the tobacco plate: 20–25 g

Avoid packing the material too tightly. Maintaining sufficient airflow through the bowl helps the mixture heat more evenly and can improve the overall session.

After filling the bowl, install it according to the product instructions and check that it is securely positioned beneath the heating head.

Step 5: Select the Heating Level

Press the Up or Down button to select the desired heating level.

Different hookah mixtures may require different heat settings, so it is generally best to begin at a moderate level. You can then adjust the temperature based on smoke output and flavor.

After selecting the heat level, double-press the Power button to begin preheating. The red indicator light will flash during the heating process.

The IMOTO G2 includes different heating profiles for different types of tobacco.

Choose the mode best suited for your tobacco.

Blonde Leaf

Blonde leaf tobaccos are generally lighter and require moderate heat.

Red Leaf

Red Leaf follows the same heating curve as Blonde Leaf and provides balanced flavor with stable smoke output.

Dark Leaf

Dark Leaf tobacco contains more nicotine and generally tolerates higher heat.

Cigar Leaf

Cigar Leaf blends require a different heating profile to preserve flavor complexity.

This profile provides strong smoke while maintaining smooth flavor.

Step 6: Wait for Preheating to Finish

When the indicator light remains green, the preheating process is complete and the IMOTO G2 is ready to use.

During your session:

• Press the Power button once to pause heating.
• The indicator light turns blue while the device is paused.
• Press the Up or Down button to adjust the temperature.
• Short-press to change the temperature by 1°C.
• Press and hold for continuous temperature adjustment.
• The temperature can be adjusted within approximately ±20°C of the selected heating level.
• The LED indicator turns yellow during inhalation.

This responsive heat-control system allows you to fine-tune the session without handling charcoal or manually repositioning heat sources.

Step 7: Adjust the Temperature During Use

If the flavor feels weak or smoke production is lower than expected, increase the temperature gradually rather than making a large adjustment immediately.

If the flavor becomes harsh or overheated, reduce the temperature and allow the bowl to cool slightly.

Small adjustments usually provide better results because they allow the hookah mixture to respond gradually to the change in heat.

How to Extend Your IMOTO G2 Session

The IMOTO G2 provides an extension prompt five minutes before the end of the 60-minute and 100-minute operating stages.

When the prompt appears:

• Select “YES” to continue the session.
• Select “NO” to finish the current session.
• If no selection is made within five minutes, the device will enter standby mode when the current stage ends.

Whether you should extend the session depends on the condition of the hookah mixture. If the flavor has noticeably weakened, replacing the mixture may produce better results than continuing to heat the same bowl.

IMOTO G2 Power Options

The IMOTO G2 supports flexible power configurations.

You can connect the DC cable to charge the replaceable battery. Before beginning a session, check the battery level to make sure the device has sufficient power for heating.

Using the correct IMOTO charging accessories also helps maintain stable performance and protects the device’s power system.

Can the IMOTO G1 Head Be Used with the G2 Base?

Yes. The IMOTO G1 E-Hookah Head can be connected to the IMOTO G2 Base using the included connector.

To install it:

1. Assemble the G2 Base normally.
2. Place the included connector onto the base.
3. Attach the G1 E-Hookah Head to the connector.
4. Check that every component is secure before starting the device.

This compatibility gives existing IMOTO users more flexibility when configuring their hookah setup.

Can I adjust the temperatures manually?

Yes. Advanced users can fine-tune the temperature based on personal preference, tobacco moisture, bowl type, and session length.
