Usage Instructions

Manual Mode Operation

Manual Mode gives you direct control over heating:

  1. Power on the device (5 clicks)
  2. Select voltage by clicking twice to cycle through settings
  3. Prepare your concentrate in a heat-resistant container (glass or silicone)
  4. Press and hold the power button to heat the quartz tip
  5. Touch the heated tip to your concentrate while inhaling through the mouthpiece
  6. Release the button and enjoy the vapor
  7. 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:

  1. Power on the device (5 clicks)
  2. Select your desired voltage (2 clicks to cycle)
  3. Triple-click the power button within 1.5 seconds
  4. The device enters preheat phase automatically
  5. Once heated, dab without holding the button
  6. The device maintains temperature for the session duration
  7. 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:

  1. Power off the device
  2. Unscrew the quartz tip counterclockwise
  3. Attach your 510-threaded cartridge
  4. Power on (5 clicks)
  5. Select voltage appropriate for your cartridge
  6. 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:

  1. Connect one end of the silicone hose to the device mouthpiece
  2. Attach the other end to the 14/18mm adapter
  3. Insert the adapter into your water pipe's joint (14mm or 18mm)
  4. Add water to your pipe as normal
  5. Use Exclusive Mode for easiest hands-free operation
  6. Inhale through the water pipe while dabbing

Water filtration cools and smooths your hits significantly.

Voltage Settings

SettingLED ColorCharacteristicsBest For
LowBlue3.2V - Gentle heatingFlavor preservation, terpene-rich concentrates
MediumPurple3.6V - Moderate heatingBalanced vapor and flavor, everyday use
HighWhite4.1V - Intense heatingMaximum 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.

  4. Scrub gently with the included brush
  5. Rinse with warm water
  6. Dry thoroughly before reattaching

Frequency: Clean after every few sessions or when you notice flavor degradation.

Preventing Stuck Coil Caps

The threaded coil cap can become stuck if residue builds up:

  • Clean the threading area regularly
  • Wipe threads with alcohol-dampened swab after sessions
  • Don't overtighten when reattaching
  • If stuck, soak in isopropyl alcohol to dissolve residue

Cleaning the Device Body

  1. Use a dry cloth to wipe exterior surfaces

Troubleshooting

Q:Device won't turn on

A:Ensure battery is charged. Connect to micro-USB charger and verify LED illuminates. Try a different cable or power source if no response. Click power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds to power on.

Q:No vapor production

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

Q:Harsh or burnt taste

A:Lower the voltage setting to 3.2V for gentler hits. Allow more time between hits for the tip to cool. Clean the quartz tip with isopropyl alcohol. Replace the tip if heavily used.

Q:Coil cap stuck

A:Soak the cap and tip area in isopropyl alcohol to dissolve residue. Gently twist while pulling. Prevent future sticking by cleaning regularly before residue hardens.

Q:LED flashing but not heating

A:Check that the quartz tip is screwed in completely. The resistance may be out of range (1.0-9.99 ohm). Try a replacement coil if available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I activate Exclusive Mode?

Triple-click the power button within 1.5 seconds. The device will preheat and maintain your selected voltage automatically, allowing hands-free dabbing.

Can I use 510 cartridges?

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

How do I connect to a water pipe?

Use the included silicone hose and 14/18mm adapter. Connect the hose to the Seahorse mouthpiece and adapter, then insert the adapter into your water pipe's downstem joint.

What's the difference between this and the Pro Plus?

The Pro Plus features USB-C charging (vs micro-USB), a magnetic coil cover (vs threaded), and compatibility with newer coil types. Core functionality is similar.

How often should I replace the quartz tip?

With regular cleaning, tips last several months of regular use. Replace when flavor quality decreases, heating becomes uneven, or buildup cannot be cleaned.
