Usage Instructions
Manual Mode Operation
Manual Mode gives you direct control over heating:
- Power on the device (5 clicks)
- Select voltage by clicking twice to cycle through settings
- Prepare your concentrate in a heat-resistant container (glass or silicone)
- Press and hold the power button to heat the quartz tip
- Touch the heated tip to your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece
- Release the button and enjoy the vapor
- Repeat as desired, allowing brief cooling between hits
Important: Maximum continuous heating in Manual Mode is 20 seconds. The device will automatically stop heating to prevent overheating.
Exclusive Mode Operation
Exclusive Mode allows hands-free operation:
- Power on the device (5 clicks)
- Select your desired voltage (2 clicks to cycle)
- Triple-click the power button within 1.5 seconds
- The device enters preheat phase automatically
- Once heated, dab without holding the button
- The device maintains temperature for the session duration
- Session ends automatically to prevent overheating
Exclusive Mode is ideal for:
- Water pipe use where holding the button is awkward
- Users who prefer consistent temperature throughout the session
- Extended dabbing sessions
Using as a 510 Battery
The Seahorse Pro functions as a 510 cartridge battery:
- Power off the device
- Unscrew the quartz tip counterclockwise
- Attach your 510-threaded cartridge
- Power on (5 clicks)
- Select voltage appropriate for your cartridge
- Press and hold the button while inhaling
Voltage recommendations for cartridges:
- Thin oils: 3.2V
- Medium viscosity: 3.2V-3.6V
- Thick oils: 3.6V-4.1V
Start low and increase only if needed for better vapor production.
Water Pipe Connection
To use the Seahorse Pro with a water pipe:
- Connect one end of the silicone hose to the device mouthpiece
- Attach the other end to the 14/18mm adapter
- Insert the adapter into your water pipe's joint (14mm or 18mm)
- Add water to your pipe as normal
- Use Exclusive Mode for easiest hands-free operation
- Inhale through the water pipe while dabbing
Water filtration cools and smooths your hits significantly.
Voltage Settings
| Setting | LED Color | Characteristics | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | Blue | 3.2V - Gentle heating | Flavor preservation, terpene-rich concentrates |
| Medium | Purple | 3.6V - Moderate heating | Balanced vapor and flavor, everyday use |
| High | White | 4.1V - Intense heating | Maximum clouds, less flavorful concentrates |
To change voltage: With the device on, click the power button twice. Each double-click cycles to the next setting.
Tip: Start at 3.2V and increase only if you desire more vapor. Lower temperatures preserve flavor and are gentler on your throat.
