How to Use the IMOTO G3 Ultra E-Hookah Head: Setup, Heating Modes & First Session Guide

Starting with a new e-hookah can feel a little different from using a traditional hookah. There are no charcoal pieces to light, no foil to prepare, and no need to constantly adjust the heat by moving coals around. Instead, the IMOTO G3 Ultra is designed to make the heating process more controlled and consistent while keeping the familiar hookah ritual at the center of the experience.

The IMOTO G3 Ultra E-Hookah Head combines a classic hookah bowl size with a new heating core, giving users a more controlled way to heat and enjoy their session. With its Stainless Steel Open Bowl, 360° Spherical Heating system, Smart Chip and AUTO and MASTER modes, the G3 Ultra is designed to make heat management simple while giving users the flexibility to fine-tune their experience when needed.

This guide walks you through the basic G3 Ultra setup, heating modes, first session and a few practical tips to help you get started.

What You Need Before Your First Session

Before setting up your IMOTO G3 Ultra, make sure you have the main components ready.

The G3 Ultra E-Hookah Head can be used with the IMOTO Compact Power Module, IMOTO G3 Base, or a compatible Power Adapter and AC Power Cable, depending on your preferred setup.

For the G3 Ultra E-Hookah Head, the main components include:

• IMOTO G3 Ultra E-Hookah Head
• Stainless Steel Open Bowl
• Stainless Steel Cap
• Compatible power module or base
• Power Adapter
• AC Power Cable
• Hookah body and water base when using a traditional hookah setup
• Hookah hose and other required accessories

The G3 Ultra Stainless Steel Open Bowl is designed for approximately 14 to 20 g of hookah tobacco or compatible leaf material, depending on the packing method and personal preference.

Before starting, make sure the bowl, cap and connection points are clean and properly assembled.

Step 1: Prepare the G3 Ultra

Start by installing the Stainless Steel Open Bowl onto the G3 Ultra E-Hookah Head.

The stainless steel construction is designed for repeated use and provides a solid foundation for the heating system. Unlike a traditional hookah bowl that relies on charcoal placed above the tobacco, the G3 Ultra uses its integrated heating system to deliver heat through the head.

For your first session, keep the material as loose as possible. Avoid pressing it down firmly or packing it too tightly. A loose pack allows air to move through the bowl more naturally and gives the heating system enough space to work effectively.

Once the bowl is prepared, place the Stainless Steel Cap into position.

Make sure the head is securely connected to your selected power setup before turning the device on.

Step 2: Connect Your Power Setup

The G3 Ultra can be paired with different IMOTO configurations depending on how you want to use it.

G3 Ultra + Compact Power Module

The IMOTO Compact Power Module（对IMOTO Compact Power Module） is designed for a more compact and wireless setup. It works with the G3 Ultra to create a portable combination that is easy to carry and convenient for sessions where you want more freedom from a traditional power connection.

Simply connect the G3 Ultra to the Compact Power Module and make sure the connection is secure.

G3 Ultra + G3 Base

The G3 Ultra can also be paired with the IMOTO G3 Base for a more traditional hookah-style setup.

This configuration allows the G3 Ultra to work as the heating head while the base provides the power and visual experience of the complete IMOTO setup.

G3 Ultra + Power Adapter & AC Power Cable

For a direct power connection, the G3 Ultra can also be used with the compatible Power Adapter and AC Power Cable.

This setup provides a continuous power supply, so there is no need to worry about battery life during your session. It is especially suitable for longer sessions or stationary use where a direct power connection is convenient.

Whichever configuration you choose, always check that the connections are secure before heating.

Step 3: Turn On the G3 Ultra

Once everything is connected, you can turn on the G3 Ultra.

Press the power button 5 times within 2 seconds to turn the device on.

After the device starts, you can use the control buttons to navigate the available functions.

The G3 Ultra is designed to keep the basic controls simple, so you do not need to spend a long time going through complicated menus before your first session.

For new users, starting with AUTO mode is recommended as an easy way to become familiar with the heating behavior of the device.

Step 4: Choose Your Heating Mode

One of the key features of the G3 Ultra is its two heating modes: AUTO and MASTER.

AUTO Mode: Simple and Consistent

AUTO mode is designed for users who want a straightforward experience.

Instead of manually managing every temperature adjustment, AUTO mode helps simplify the heating process. It is a practical choice for everyday sessions when you want to focus more on the experience and less on temperature settings.

For a first session, AUTO mode is a good place to start.

It allows you to become familiar with the G3 Ultra’s heating performance, vapor production and airflow before moving into more detailed manual control.

MASTER Mode: More Control

MASTER mode is designed for users who want more precise control over the heating experience.

The G3 Ultra uses its Smart Chip and dual-zone heating architecture to manage the heating process. The top cap and bowl wall work together as part of the 360° Spherical Heating system.

In MASTER mode, users can adjust the temperature of the top cap and wall within a range of 100°C to 300°C, providing the flexibility to fine-tune the heating experience according to personal preference.

The G3 Ultra handles the heating process intelligently, so there is no need to constantly adjust the temperature during a session. When needed, users can simply make small temperature adjustments to suit their preferred experience.

If this is your first time using the G3 Ultra, there is no need to start with advanced temperature settings. Get familiar with AUTO mode first, then explore MASTER mode when you are ready.

Step 5: Start Heating

After selecting your preferred mode, press the heating button twice to start the heating process.

The G3 Ultra uses a 360° Spherical Heating system designed to provide heat from both the top cap and the bowl wall.

This dual-zone approach helps distribute heat around the bowl instead of relying on a single heating point.

The G3 Ultra also uses a high-frequency Smart Chip control system designed to monitor and manage the heating process. The system operates at up to 1000 Hz, helping the device make frequent adjustments during the session.

During preheating, allow the device to complete its heating process before taking your first draw.

The preheating process can take around 7 minutes, depending on the selected configuration and conditions. Once the device indicates that it is ready, your session can begin.

Step 6: Start Your First Session

Once the G3 Ultra reaches the ready state, take a slow and comfortable draw.

There is no need to inhale too aggressively. Start slowly and pay attention to the airflow, vapor production and overall heat.

The G3 Ultra is designed to manage the heating process automatically, making it easy to enjoy a consistent session without constantly adjusting the temperature.

Different leaf types and packing styles can respond differently to heat. The G3 Ultra supports several common leaf profiles, including:

• Red
• Dark
• Blonde
• Blended Leaf

The G3 Ultra is designed to handle different leaf types and session preferences. If needed, you can make small temperature adjustments according to your personal preference rather than constantly managing the heat throughout the session.

Understanding the 360° Spherical Heating System

Traditional hookah heating usually depends on heat coming from charcoal positioned above the bowl. The user can change the heat by moving or adding charcoal.

The G3 Ultra takes a different approach.

Its 360° Spherical Heating system combines heating from the top cap and the bowl wall. Instead of concentrating heat at one location, the system is designed to surround the bowl with heat.

This is one of the main differences between the G3 Ultra and a conventional hookah setup.

The goal is not simply to generate more heat. It is to provide a more controlled heating environment so the G3 Ultra can intelligently manage the heating process while allowing users to make small adjustments when desired.

How to Pause or Exit a Session

The G3 Ultra also provides simple controls during use.

To pause the heating process, press the button once.

When you are ready to continue, you can resume the session according to the device’s operating controls.

To exit the heating mode, press the button twice according to the operating sequence.

If you are finished with your session, allow the head to cool before handling the stainless steel components.

The cap and bowl can remain hot after heating has stopped, so avoid touching heated metal surfaces immediately after a session.

How to Get More Consistent Results

Getting the best experience from the G3 Ultra is not only about choosing a temperature. Several small details can make a noticeable difference.

Keep the Packing Loose

Avoid pressing the material down firmly or creating a dense pack.

Keep the material as loose as possible. This helps maintain airflow and gives the heating system enough space to work effectively.

 

Let the G3 Ultra Manage the Heat

One of the advantages of the G3 Ultra is its intelligent heating system.

There is no need to constantly monitor and adjust the temperature throughout a session. Let the device manage the heating process and simply make small adjustments according to your personal preference when needed.

 

Give the System Time to Heat

Avoid taking repeated draws during the early stage of preheating.

Allowing the device to reach its ready state gives the heating system time to establish the selected temperature.

 

Keep the Device Clean

Residue can build up over repeated sessions. Regular cleaning helps keep the device in good condition and makes it easier to maintain a consistent experience.

Always follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions provided with your specific IMOTO product.

The ability to adjust the top cap and wall temperature between 100°C and 300°C allows experienced users to fine-tune their preferred heating experience.

You can explore different temperature settings according to your preferred session and make small adjustments when needed.

There is no need to constantly manage the temperature. The G3 Ultra is designed to handle the heating process intelligently, while MASTER mode gives you the flexibility to fine-tune it when desired.

The G3 Ultra Experience: Familiar Ritual, New Core

The IMOTO G3 Ultra is built around a simple idea: keep the familiar hookah experience while changing the way heat is delivered.
