Getting Started

Initial Charge

Before first use, fully charge your Dinosaur:

  1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the device base
  2. Connect the included USB-C cable
  3. Connect to a 5V USB power adapter
  4. The LED will illuminate during charging
  5. Charge for approximately 70 minutes until fully charged

Assembly

  1. Install coil: Ensure a 710 Type D quartz coil is threaded into the base (one comes pre-installed)
  2. Attach bubbler: Position the glass percolator over the base - the magnetic connection will pull it into place
  3. Add water: Fill the bubbler with water just above the percolator holes
  4. Install stopper: Insert the mouthpiece tip stopper

Powering On/Off

  • Turn On: Click the power button (dinosaur nose) 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds
  • Turn Off: Click the power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds
  • Auto-Off: Device powers off after 5 minutes of inactivity

The LED display illuminates when powered on, showing battery level and voltage setting.

Usage Instructions

Basic Operation

  1. Power on with 5 rapid clicks of the nose button
  2. Select voltage by double-clicking to cycle through settings
  3. Load concentrate using the built-in dab tool - apply a rice-grain sized amount to the coil
  4. Press and hold the power button to begin heating
  5. Wait for preheat - the 8-second auto preheat warms concentrate
  6. Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece as vapor forms
  7. Release the button when finished with your draw
  8. Power off with 5 rapid clicks when session is complete

Voltage Settings

Double-click the power button to cycle through voltage options:

SettingVoltageLED ColorBest For
Low3.5VGreenMaximum flavor, smooth hits
Medium3.7VBlueBalanced flavor and vapor
High3.9VWhiteMaximum vapor production

Recommendations:

  • Start on low voltage for flavor exploration
  • Medium setting suits most concentrates
  • High setting for thick concentrates or maximum clouds
  • The device remembers your last setting

8-Second Auto Preheat

The Dinosaur includes automatic preheating:

  1. When you press and hold the power button, preheat begins automatically
  2. The device warms the coil at reduced power for approximately 8 seconds
  3. This melts concentrate evenly before full vaporization
  4. After preheat, full heating engages
  5. Haptic feedback (vibration) signals when ready

The preheat function creates smoother, more consistent hits by conditioning concentrate before intense heat is applied.

Using the Built-in Dab Tool

The Dinosaur features an integrated dab tool:

  1. Locate the dab tool component on your device (position varies by color variant)
  2. Remove the tool from its storage position
  3. Use the tool tip to collect a rice-grain sized amount of concentrate
  4. Apply concentrate to the quartz coil surface
  5. Return the tool to its storage position
  6. The integrated tool eliminates the need for separate accessories

LED Display

The LED screen communicates device status:

DisplayMeaning
GreenLow voltage (3.5V) active
BlueMedium voltage (3.7V) active
WhiteHigh voltage (3.9V) active
Battery iconCurrent charge level
FlashingLow battery or error condition

Water Level

Proper water level ensures optimal filtration:

  1. Remove the mouthpiece stopper
  2. Add water through the top opening
  3. Fill until water just covers the percolator holes
  4. Do not overfill - excessive water causes splashing
  5. Test with a dry draw before heating
  6. Adjust if water reaches the mouthpiece

Charging

Charging Procedure

  1. Connect the included USB-C cable to the charging port
  2. Connect to a 5V USB power adapter
  3. The LED indicates charging status
  4. Full charge takes approximately 70 minutes
  5. Disconnect when fully charged

Care & Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

After each session:

  1. Allow the device to cool completely
  2. Use a cotton swab to wipe residue from the warm coil
  3. Empty the bubbler water
  4. Wipe the mouthpiece with a clean cloth

Weekly Deep Cleaning

Glass Percolator:

  1. Remove from the base by lifting away from the magnetic connection
  2. Empty all water
  3. Fill with isopropyl alcohol (90%+ recommended)
  4. Let soak for 20-30 minutes
  5. Shake gently to dislodge residue
  6. Rinse thoroughly with warm water
  7. Air dry completely before reassembly

Coils:

  1. Remove by unscrewing counter-clockwise
  2. Soak in isopropyl alcohol for 30 minutes
  3. Use a cotton swab for stubborn residue
  4. Rinse with warm water
  5. Dry completely before reinstalling

Base Unit:

  1. Wipe exterior with a slightly damp cloth
  2. Clean threading with a dry cotton swab
  3. Never submerge the base - it contains electronics

Storage

For optimal storage:

  • Empty and dry the glass percolator
  • Remove the coil if storing long-term
  • Store in a cool, dry place
  • Keep away from direct sunlight
  • Handle the glass bubbler carefully during storage

Coil Replacement

Replace the coil when:

  • Flavor degrades or tastes off
  • Vapor production decreases significantly
  • Buildup cannot be cleaned
  • Physical damage is visible

To replace:

  1. Remove the old coil (counter-clockwise)
  2. Thread the new Type D coil (clockwise)

Troubleshooting

Q:Device won't turn on

A:Ensure the battery is charged by connecting a USB-C cable for at least 30 minutes. Press the power button (dinosaur nose) 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds. If unresponsive, try a different USB-C cable or charging adapter.

Q:No vapor production

A:Verify concentrate is loaded on the coil. Try a higher voltage setting by double-clicking the power button. Check that the coil is securely threaded into the base. Clean the coil if residue buildup is visible.

Q:Weak or thin vapor

A:Increase voltage setting for more vapor production. Ensure sufficient concentrate is loaded. Use the preheat function to warm thicker concentrates before the main heating cycle.

Q:Device gets too hot

A:Allow cooling time between sessions. The device includes overheating protection - if it pauses, wait several minutes before continuing. Avoid chain-vaping multiple consecutive sessions.

Q:Bubbler won't attach properly

A:Ensure the magnetic connection points are clean and aligned. Remove any debris from the connection area. The bubbler should snap into place when properly positioned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the power button?

The power button is integrated into the dinosaur's nose. Press this button 5 times to power on/off, double-click to change voltage, and press-hold to heat.

Where is the built-in dab tool?

The dab tool is integrated into the device design - look for a removable component that functions as a loading tool. Consult the included manual diagram for your specific color variant's tool location.

Can I use different bubblers?

Yes, the Dinosaur is compatible with the Lookah Seahorse Unicorn and Max bubbler glasses. The magnetic connection system allows easy swapping between compatible glass pieces.

What does the 8-second preheat do?

The preheat function gently warms concentrate before full vaporization. This helps melt thicker materials evenly, producing smoother hits. It activates automatically at the start of each heating cycle.

How do I know the voltage setting?

The LED color indicates voltage: Green = 3.5V (low), Blue = 3.7V (medium), White = 3.9V (high). Double-click to cycle through settings.
