Getting Started
Initial Charge
Before first use, fully charge your Dinosaur:
- Locate the USB-C charging port on the device base

- Charge for approximately 70 minutes until fully charged
- Disconnect when charging is complete
Note: The Dinosaur features fast USB-C charging that achieves full charge in about 70 minutes.
Assembly
- Install coil: Ensure a 710 Type D quartz coil is threaded into the base (one comes pre-installed)
- Attach bubbler: Position the glass percolator over the base - the magnetic connection will pull it into place
- Add water: Fill the bubbler with water just above the percolator holes
- 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
- Power on with 5 rapid clicks of the nose button
- Select voltage by double-clicking to cycle through settings
- Load concentrate using the built-in dab tool - apply a rice-grain sized amount to the coil
- Press and hold the power button to begin heating
- Wait for preheat - the 8-second auto preheat warms concentrate
- Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece as vapor forms
- Release the button when finished with your draw
- Power off with 5 rapid clicks when session is complete
Voltage Settings
Double-click the power button to cycle through voltage options:
| Setting | Voltage | LED Color | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 3.5V | Green | Maximum flavor, smooth hits |
| Medium | 3.7V | Blue | Balanced flavor and vapor |
| High | 3.9V | White | Maximum 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:
- When you press and hold the power button, preheat begins automatically
- The device warms the coil at reduced power for approximately 8 seconds
- This melts concentrate evenly before full vaporization
- After preheat, full heating engages
- 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:
- Locate the dab tool component on your device (position varies by color variant)
- Remove the tool from its storage position
- Use the tool tip to collect a rice-grain sized amount of concentrate
- Apply concentrate to the quartz coil surface
- Return the tool to its storage position
- The integrated tool eliminates the need for separate accessories
LED Display
The LED screen communicates device status:
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | Low voltage (3.5V) active |
| Blue | Medium voltage (3.7V) active |
| White | High voltage (3.9V) active |
| Battery icon | Current charge level |
| Flashing | Low battery or error condition |
Water Level
Proper water level ensures optimal filtration:
- Remove the mouthpiece stopper
- Add water through the top opening
- Fill until water just covers the percolator holes
- Do not overfill - excessive water causes splashing
- Test with a dry draw before heating
- Adjust if water reaches the mouthpiece
