What's in the Box

  • Pulsar 510 Hall Pass Vaporizer (Highlighter design)
  • USB-C Charging Cable
  • User Manual

Note: Contents may vary slightly by retailer. Cartridge not included.

Getting Started

Initial Charge

Before first use, fully charge the Hall Pass:

  1. Locate the USB-C port on the device (covered by silicone plug)
  2. Remove the silicone port cover
  3. Connect the USB-C cable to the device
  4. Connect to a USB power source
  5. LED indicator shows charging status
  6. Allow 60-90 minutes for complete charge
  7. Disconnect and replace silicone cover when done

Important: Use standard 5V USB power sources. The silicone cover protects the port; replace it after charging.

Understanding the Device

Key Components:

  • Cap: Removable top that conceals cartridge; serves as mouthpiece
  • Body: Contains battery and 510 port
  • Base Button: Power, voltage control, and activation
  • LED Indicator: Shows voltage setting and battery status
  • USB-C Port: Charging (protected by silicone cover)

Powering On/Off

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

LED flashes to confirm power state changes.

Installing a Cartridge

  1. Remove the cap by pulling firmly (it pops off like a real highlighter)
  2. Locate the 510 port inside the body
  3. Screw your cartridge into the port (hand-tight only)
  4. Replace the cap over the cartridge:
    • For cartridges up to 2g, the cap should fit completely
    • If the cap doesn't fit, use the device without the cap
  5. Verify the cartridge is secure and the cap is seated

Cap-On vs. Cap-Off Operation

Cap On (Full Disguise):

  • Cartridges up to 2g capacity
  • Inhale through the cap tip
  • Complete highlighter appearance maintained
  • Auto-draw works through cap airpath

Cap Off (Standard Operation):

  • Any 510 cartridge works
  • Inhale directly from cartridge mouthpiece
  • Highlighter body shape maintained but cartridge visible
  • Better for larger or oddly-shaped cartridges

Usage Instructions

Basic Operation

  1. Power on the device (5 rapid clicks)
  2. Install your cartridge (see above)
  3. Select voltage (see below)
  4. Activate:
    • Auto-draw: Inhale through cap tip (or cartridge if cap-off)
    • Button: Press and hold base button while inhaling
  5. Draw slowly for 3-5 seconds
  6. Release and exhale

The device has a 10-second auto-cutoff for safety.

Voltage Settings

Click the base button to cycle through five voltage presets:

SettingApproximate VoltageLED ColorBest For
1~2.4VColor 1Maximum flavor preservation
2~2.8VColor 2Flavor-focused sessions
3~3.2VColor 3Balanced vapor and flavor
4~3.6VColor 4Increased vapor production
5~4.0VColor 5Maximum vapor output

Recommendation: Start at setting 2 or 3 and adjust based on preference.

Preheat Function

The 8-second preheat gently warms cartridges to thin thick oil:

  1. With device powered on, double-click the base button
  2. LED indicates preheat activation
  3. Device warms for 8 seconds at low power
  4. After completion, draw normally

When to Use Preheat:

  • First use of a new cartridge
  • Thick or viscous oil formulations
  • Cold weather conditions
  • When cartridge seems clogged or restricted
  • After cartridge has been sitting unused

Activation Methods

Auto-Draw:

  • Simply inhale through the mouthpiece (cap tip or cartridge)
  • Sensor detects airflow and activates heating
  • Most discreet method; looks like considering what to highlight
  • Works through cap or directly from cartridge

Button Activation:

  • Press and hold the base button while inhaling
  • Provides precise control over activation timing
  • Useful when auto-draw needs supplementation
  • Works with both cap-on and cap-off configurations

Both methods work simultaneously; use whichever suits your situation.

Discreet Usage Tips

For maximum stealth operation:

  1. Use with cap in place for complete highlighter appearance
  2. Utilize auto-draw to eliminate button pressing
  3. Hold naturally as you would a writing implement
  4. Store among real supplies in pencil cases or desk organizers
  5. Keep movements natural; considering what to highlight while holding to face
  6. Small draws produce less visible vapor for subtlety

Troubleshooting

Device Won't Power On

  1. Charge via USB-C for at least 30 minutes
  2. Click base button exactly 5 times within 2 seconds
  3. Ensure USB-C port cover is removed when charging
  4. Try different USB-C cable or power source
  5. Contact Pulsar support if issue persists

No Vapor Production

  1. Verify cartridge is screwed in securely
  2. Check cartridge contains oil
  3. Increase voltage setting
  4. Use preheat function
  5. Check cap airpath isn't blocked (if cap-on)
  6. Try cap-off operation to isolate cap issues
  7. Test with a different cartridge

Auto-Draw Not Working

  1. Ensure device is powered on
  2. Draw with more force
  3. Check airpath for blockages
  4. Try button activation instead
  5. Verify cartridge connection
  6. Clean auto-draw sensor area

Cap Won't Fit Over Cartridge

  1. Verify cartridge is 2g or smaller
  2. Some cartridge shapes may not fit regardless of capacity
  3. Use cap-off operation for incompatible cartridges
  4. Standard 1g cartridges should always fit

Weak Vapor

  1. Increase voltage setting
  2. Ensure cartridge isn't empty
  3. Use preheat function
  4. Clean 510 connection
  5. The cap naturally restricts airflow; some vapor reduction is normal

Overheating

  1. Stop use immediately
  2. Allow device to cool
  3. Avoid continuous chain vaping
  4. Lower voltage setting
  5. Contact Pulsar support if persistent

Troubleshooting

Q:Device won't turn on

A:Ensure battery is charged via USB-C for at least 30 minutes. Click the base button exactly 5 times within 2 seconds. Remove the silicone cover from the USB-C port if unable to charge.

Q:No vapor production

A:Verify cartridge is screwed into the 510 port securely. Ensure cartridge contains oil. Try increasing voltage setting. Use preheat function if oil appears thick. Check that cap's airpath isn't blocked.

Q:Auto-draw not activating

A:Ensure device is powered on. Draw with more force through the cap tip. Check airpath isn't obstructed. Try using button activation instead. Make sure cartridge is properly connected.

Q:Cartridge doesn't fit with cap

A:The cap accommodates cartridges up to 2g. Larger cartridges require cap-off operation. Ensure cartridge is standard 510 threading. Some oversized cartridge designs may not fit regardless of capacity.

Q:Weak or harsh vapor

A:Adjust voltage: lower settings for smoother, flavor-focused vapor; higher settings for more vapor. The cap's restricted airflow naturally produces warmer, more concentrated vapor. Clean the airpath if restricted.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change the voltage?

With the device powered on, click the base button to cycle through the 5 voltage presets. The LED indicator will change color to show the current setting. Continue clicking to reach your desired voltage level.

How do I activate the preheat function?

Double-click the base button to activate the 8-second preheat. The LED will indicate preheat mode. The device gently warms the cartridge to thin thick oil and prevent clogs. Use before first draw of a new cartridge or when oil appears thick.

Can I use larger cartridges?

Cartridges up to 2g capacity fit with the cap in place. Larger cartridges can be used by removing the cap entirely, operating the device like a standard 510 battery. You lose the highlighter disguise but maintain functionality.

Is the cap necessary for operation?

No, the device works with or without the cap. The cap provides the highlighter disguise and allows inhaling through its tip. Without the cap, inhale directly from the cartridge mouthpiece. Use whichever method suits your situation.

How do I maintain the highlighter disguise?

Keep the cap in place during use, inhale through the cap tip using auto-draw activation, and store in pencil cases or desk organizers among real writing implements. The pop sound when removing the cap mimics real highlighters.

What cartridge size works best?

Standard 1g cartridges fit easily with room to spare. Most 2g cartridges also fit well. Very wide or oddly-shaped cartridges may not fit with the cap; test before relying on concealed operation.
