| Manufacturer | Oglesby & Butler Ltd (IOLITE / WISPR) |
| Part Number | Not published by the manufacturer — the Operation Manual lists no model/part number 1, and no live official IOLITE product page exists to check: https://www.oandbltd.com does not resolve (checked 2026-08-08), and IOLITE is reported to have ceased production in 2023 2 |
| Form Factor | Portable handheld vaporizer 3 |
| Family | IOLITE Original |
| Generation | 1 (v1 2008; v2/2.0 c. 2012) |
| Release Period | 2008 (v1); c. 2012 (v2) (approximate; not dated by the manufacturer) 3 |
| Heating Method | Flameless catalytic butane combustion: a gas catalytic combustion element heats a combustion-chamber housing, and a heat-exchanger transfers that heat to the vaporising chamber without exhaust gases or flame entering it (indirect-flame heat generation) → conduction from the stainless steel heater pin to the load 314 |
| Temperature Control | Mechanical bimetallic thermostat; fixed 190 °C ± 5 °C (374 °F) 31 |
| Heat-Up Time | ≈45 s 3 |
| Power Source | Refillable butane tank (≈2 h continuous) 3 |
| Refueling | Butane refill (seconds); upright filling; do not overfill 31 |
| Chamber Materials | Aluminium mesh screen; stainless steel heater pin 3 |
| Dimensions | 107 × 56 × 25 mm (reported; not in the operation manual) 3 |

| Compatible Media | Dry botanical herb 3 |
Revision Notes
- v2 / 2.0 (c. 2012): one-click piezo ignition, faster butane fill valve, reduced gas waste; same 190 °C thermostat (reported) 3.
- Superseded by the WISPR (Oct 2011), a wedge-form redesign with a viewing window and larger tank (reported) 3.
- The IOLITE brand is reported to have ceased production in 2023, per the web-development agency that built its e-commerce site; this is why no live official product page exists to check for a part number (reported, single-source) 2.
Safety & Use Notes
- Manufacturer/manual warnings: flammable gas under pressure, do not overfill, fill upright, wait 5 minutes if overfilled, and the device is not a medical device 1.
