Getting Started

Initial Charge

Before first use, fully charge your 510 DL 6.0:

1. Locate the USB-C port on the device
2. Connect the included USB-C cable
3. Connect to a USB power source (wall adapter, computer, or power bank)
4. The LCD display will show charging status
5. Allow 60-90 minutes for a complete charge
6. Disconnect when the display indicates full charge

Important: Use a standard 5V USB power source. Avoid fast-charging adapters rated above 5V/2A.

Understanding the Device

Key Components:

• Wraparound LCD Display: Shows voltage, battery, puff count, and animated graphics
• Cartridge Chamber: Magnetic housing for 510-threaded cartridges up to 3g
• Power Button: Controls power, activation, voltage adjustment, and preheat
• Airflow Control: Adjusts draw resistance
• USB-C Port: For charging

Powering On/Off

• Turn On: Click the power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds
• Turn Off: Click the power button 5 times rapidly within 2 seconds

The LCD display will activate briefly to confirm power state changes.

Installing a Cartridge

1. Remove the magnetic top cap/mouthpiece from the device
2. Inspect the 510 port for any debris or residue
3. Insert your cartridge:
   • Position the cartridge with the 510 threads aligned with the port
   • Press down until the cartridge seats magnetically
   • The cartridge should sit securely without wobbling
4. Replace the magnetic cap over the cartridge
5. Verify the connection by checking that the cartridge is enclosed

The DL 6.0 accommodates cartridges up to 3g in capacity. Standard 1g cartridges will have extra space, which is normal.

Usage Instructions

Basic Operation

1. Power on the device (5 rapid clicks)
2. Install your cartridge if not already in place
3. Set your preferred voltage (see voltage adjustment below)
4. Activate:
   • Auto-draw: Simply inhale through the mouthpiece
   • Button: Press and hold the power button while inhaling
5. Draw slowly and steadily for 3-5 seconds
6. Release and exhale

The device has a 10-second automatic cutoff for safety. For longer draws, release and re-activate.

Voltage Adjustment

The 510 DL 6.0 offers precision voltage control from 1.8V to 4.2V in 0.1V increments:

1. Power on the device
2. Enter voltage adjustment mode (typically 3 clicks or use designated buttons)
3. Adjust voltage up or down in 0.1V increments
4. Observe the LCD display showing your current setting
5. Exit adjustment mode after a few seconds of inactivity

Voltage Guide

Voltage Range	Best For	Characteristics
1.8V - 2.4V	Maximum flavor	Ultra-low temp, terpene preservation, light vapor
2.5V - 2.8V	Flavor focus	Good flavor, moderate vapor
2.9V - 3.2V	Balanced	Everyday use, balanced vapor and flavor
3.3V - 3.6V	Vapor focus	Increased clouds, reduced flavor
3.7V - 4.2V	Maximum output	Dense vapor, best for thick oils

Pro Tip: Start at 2.4V and increase gradually until you find your preferred setting. Different cartridges have different optimal voltages.

Preheat Function

The 8-second preheat function warms cartridges to thin thick oil and prevent clogs:

1. With the device powered on, double-click the power button
2. The LCD display will show animated preheat countdown
3. The device heats at low power for 8 seconds
4. Animation completes when preheat finishes
5. Draw normally after preheat completes

When to Use Preheat:

• First use of a new cartridge
• Thick or viscous oils
• Cold weather conditions
• Cartridges that have been sitting unused
• When experiencing weak or restricted airflow

Airflow Adjustment

The adjustable airflow control customizes your draw resistance:

1. Locate the airflow control on the device body
2. Adjust the control:
   • Open more for looser draws, cooler vapor
   • Close more for tighter draws, warmer vapor
3. Test your setting with a draw
4. Fine-tune until comfortable

Most users prefer medium airflow for balanced draws. Experiment to find your preference.

Reading the LCD Display

The wraparound LCD shows:

• Voltage: Current setting (e.g., "3.2V")
• Battery Level: Visual indicator or percentage
• Puff Counter: Session or total puff count
• Animated Graphics: Topographic map and night sky visuals
