To mCig's credit, support answered my query quickly. First they told me there were two pieces in the package and to look carefully for the glass screen. I found it stuck to the glue on the top of the package.
I tried it by putting the screen on top of the element and then the tube with vegetable inside on top of it. Did not get anything...so I emailed support again to verify I was using it correctly.
Another quick responce:
Warning: Working with C4 Glass Pak means the area between the power button and the mouthpiece will get hot. We don’t recommend deploying the power for more than 30 seconds before allowing the chamber to cool down.
mCig C4 Glass Pak Prototypes (US Made handblown borosilicate glass):
The mCig C4 Glass Pak is for experienced users. Extended trigger time is needed to heat glass to appropriate temperature. Never hold/hand off the mCig where the battery connects to the chamber during use of glass pak sessions. If trigger finger gets hot, it is time to let the unit cool down. All C4 Glass Pak sessions should use the highest 3.7V (green & blue LED) power setting. Always hand the mCig by the logo to another user. It is also recommended to hold the mCig vertical (logo down/mouthpiece up), unlike a traditional cigarette.
The explanations below are guidelines to how the C4 Glass Pak should be used, feel free to mix/match and experiment with various configurations. The C4 Glass Pak is modular in nature and the mCig 2.0 chamber allows for other mouthpieces and chambers to be deployed by any micro glass artists willing to step up to the task of making them.
C4 Screen- Glass Screen: Just like what some might have fished out of the kitchen or bathroom sink back in the day for the ol’ metal pipe. Things have changed, and this borosilicate hand blown glass has been layered and finely cut to create a small disc for oil/wax deployment as well as solid concentrates such as hashish or pressed dry sieve kif. The glass screen can also be used with dry herb as a base to keep it from touching the heating coil or at the backside of the packed dry herb to hold it in place and keep anything from touching the mouthpiece. The glass screen heats materials within 3-10 seconds of trigger time.
C4 Hash Cylinder- Hollow Glass Chamber: This is to be used with the Glass Screen above for solid concentrates such as H2O extracted hashish or dry sieve kif. It can also be used again on the reverse end for the redeployment of a fresh round of materials. This can be used in place of the dry herb vapor chamber. Simply place a 1 or 2 budlets in the chamber. For concentrates: Get a small wafer or snake of concentrate smaller than the diameter of the tube, and sandwich it together with the glass screen. Remember to allow room in the chamber for air to move, so don’t totally plug the cylinder. A little bit of material goes a long way, it should heat up within 5-10 seconds of trigger time.
C4 Oil- Oil & Wax Chamber: The chamber with the single hole “nipple” base. This chamber allows for a dab or two of oil/wax to be placed inside this specially designed glass chamber. Keep in mind that during this process, to keep the mCig vertical, with the battery pointing down, the mouthpiece up, so that hot oil isn’t running into user’s mouth. 3-10 second bursts.
C4 Vapor- Budlet Vapor Chamber: Drop one or two unground budlets into the chamber with the holes in the bottom. Give it 10-15 seconds trigger time to prime the chamber and gently inhale. Keep gently inhaling anytime you are pressing the trigger. Users get small vapor hits. There is slight combustion at the base due to extreme heat, but it is minimal and can be avoided further by using the glass screen at the base of the Budlet Vapor Chamber to have a 2nd layer of glass as a buffer from the heating coil at the base.
Clean C4 Glass by soaking in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, never force anything through glass, wear medical gloves if sensitive to alcohol. A safety pin helps with cleaning the notches in the glass screen. Glass may discolor after exposure to heat, performance not affected. For any chambers that get “stuck”, prime the unit for 5 seconds at a time until the chamber loosens. Never rip or pullout anything stuck firmly in the chamber. A little heat is needed to set it free. Remember, glass coming out of the chamber after heating is hot, and should be handled carefully.

My suggestion to mCig:
include the instructs within the package, especially since it begins with "Warning"! I will try again without the tube but with the screen.
