Troubleshooting

Q:Device won't turn on

A:Charge the battery fully via USB-C. Click the power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds. Try a different USB-C cable or power source if no response.

Q:No vapor production

A:Ensure the quartz tip is securely attached. Verify concentrate contacts the heated tip directly. Try a higher voltage setting. Clean the tip if residue is present.

Q:Harsh or burnt taste

A:Lower the voltage setting. Clean the quartz tip with isopropyl alcohol. Clean the glass mouthpiece. Allow more cooling time between hits.

Q:Battery draining quickly

A:Higher voltage settings use more power. Lower to 3.2V for extended battery life. Extreme temperatures affect battery performance. Session mode uses more power than manual mode.

Q:Glass mouthpiece loose

A:Ensure it's properly seated. Check for debris in the connection. If damaged or worn, contact Lookah for replacement options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I activate Session Mode?

Triple-click the power button within 1.5 seconds. The device preheats for 15 seconds, then maintains temperature for 25 seconds. LED will indicate activation.

Can I use 510 cartridges?

Yes. Unscrew the quartz tip and attach any standard 510-threaded cartridge. The variable voltage settings work with cartridges.

How do I connect to a water pipe?

Use the included silicone hose and 14/18mm adapter. Connect the hose to the Seahorse King mouthpiece area and the adapter to your water pipe's downstem joint.

What's the difference between King and Pro Plus?

The King has a larger 950mAh battery (vs 650mAh), glass mouthpiece, and premium zinc alloy construction. Both have USB-C charging and similar functionality.

How often should I replace the quartz tip?

With regular cleaning, tips last several months. Replace when flavor quality degrades, heating becomes uneven, or buildup cannot be cleaned. Two tips are included for convenience.
