Building on the success of the Seahorse Pro, the Lookah Seahorse Max takes dabbing to the next level with its advanced design and built-in glass bubbler. 

Whether you're new to dabbing or a seasoned enthusiast, the Seahorse Max is designed to deliver smooth, flavorful hits with minimal effort. 

In this guide, we’ll cover how to use the Seahorse Max effectively, clean it properly, and explore the difference between its coils for an optimal vaping experience.

How Much Concentrate Should You Use?

• To get the best performance from your Seahorse Max: Use small dabs about the size of a peppercorn or a couple of grains of rice. 
• Place the wax at the center of the quartz or ceramic plate to ensure even heating. 
• Avoid overloading the tip, as excess wax can overflow, burn, and clog the coil.

Tip: Clean your coil after each use to prevent wax buildup and maintain efficiency.

How to Use the Seahorse Max Dab Pen?

The Seahorse Max dab pen is the latest innovation in the Lookah Seahorse series, featuring both quartz and ceramic tips for versatile dabbing.

Like the Seahorse and Seahorse Pro, it can be used with quartz or ceramic tips. More on the difference between these coils later. 

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to use it:

Step 1: Add Water to the Glass Bubbler

Before you begin, add a small amount of water to the Max Glass bubbler. Make sure the water level covers the percolation holes but doesn’t overfill. 

This ensures proper filtration and smoother hits.

Step 2: Turn On the Device

Remove the tip cover.

Press the power button five (5) times in quick succession within 2 seconds to turn the device on.

The Seahorse Max will light up to indicate it is powered on.

Step 3: Select the Temperature Level

The Seahorse Max offers three temperature settings:

Low (3.2V, Blue Light): Best for flavor and terpene preservation.

Medium (3.6V, Purple Light): Balanced vapor production and flavor.

High (4.1V, White Light): Maximum vapor production.

To switch between temperature settings, press the power button two (2) times quickly within 0.8 seconds.

Pro Tip: Higher temperatures produce more vapor but can reduce flavor quality as terpenes may degrade at high heat.

Manual Mode

1. Manual mode allows you to control the device by pressing and holding the power button. Follow these steps:

2. Select your desired temperature setting.

3. Hold down the power button to heat the tip. Allow 3-5 seconds for the coil to heat up fully before dabbing.

4. Bring the heated tip into contact with your concentrate at a 45-degree angle. Avoid pressing the tip against a hard surface or applying too much pressure.

5. You can dab for up to 20 seconds in manual mode.

Auto Mode

1. Auto mode simplifies the dabbing process by maintaining a set temperature for 30 seconds. Here’s how to activate it:

2. Press the power button three (3) times within 1.5 seconds.

3. The device will preheat for up to 15 seconds, with the indicator light flashing.

4. Once the preheating is complete, the light will remain solid, and the device will maintain the set temperature for 30 seconds.

5. Dab by gently touching the concentrate with the heated tip at a 45-degree angle.

6. To exit auto mode, press the power button three (3) times again. The device will return to standby mode.

Why Does Regular Cleaning Matters？

Regular maintenance of your Seahorse Max dab pen offers several benefits:

1.Preserves Flavor

Clean coils provide purer, tastier hits without burnt residue.

2. Extends Coil Life

Proper cleaning prevents clogging and reduces wear on the coils.

3.Saves Money

You’ll spend less on replacement coils by maintaining the ones you have.

4.Improves Efficiency

A clean coil vaporizes concentrates more effectively, saving you money on wax.

5. Reduces battery strain

Cleaner coils require less power to heat up, prolonging battery life.

How to Clean the Lookah Seahorse Max?

Regular cleaning of your Seahorse Max ensures optimal performance, extends its lifespan, and preserves flavor quality.

The Seahorse Max glass is the same as the glass on the Unicorn E-rig and can be cleaned in the same way.

Follow these steps to clean the coils, base, and glass bubbler:

Cleaning the Coil

1. Remove the tip cover and turn on the Seahorse Max.

2. Set the device to the highest temperature setting.

3. Run the auto mode at high temperature 2-3 times. This will burn off any remaining residue on the coil.

4. Use a Q-tip to gently wipe around the coil tip to remove any remaining residue.

Cleaning the Base Unit

1. Remove the glass bubbler and unscrew the coil tip.

2. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to the cleaning brush.

3. Insert the brush into the airway and twist to loosen and remove any concentrate buildup.

4. Wipe the base with a cloth or tissue to ensure it’s clean.

Cleaning the Glass Bubbler

1. The glass bubbler can be cleaned like any standard glass percolator:

2. Remove the glass top from the base and detach it from the magnetic ring.

3. Cover the holes at the bottom of the percolator with your hand.

4. Addisopropyl alcohol and coarse salt through the top hole.

5. Shake the glass vigorously for 5-10 minutes.

6. For stubborn residue, soak the glass in hot water or isopropyl alcohol.

7. Rinse the glass thoroughly with warm water and allow it to air dry.

Difference Between the Lookah Seahorse Max Coils

The Seahorse Max uses the same coils as the Seahorse and Seahorse Pro. 

There are two seahorse coils or tips to choose from: quartz and ceramic. 

Both types of seahorse coils are available from the Lookah webpage; you may also find them sold in smoke shops and by online resellers.

Quartz

The quartz coils are porous and tend to offer the best flavor; however, because they are porous, they can be easy to damage, especially if you press down on them with any force. 

It's best to use the edge of the tip to gently dab into the concentrate or to use a dab tool to apply a little concentrate to the hot tip. 

Ceramic 

The ceramic tips have two ceramic cylinders parallel on the end of the tip. 

These heat up faster and are more robust than quartz coils; however, their quick heating can sometimes compromise the flavor.

Conclusion

The Lookah Seahorse Max is a game-changer for concentrate enthusiasts, offering versatility, ease of use, and a smooth vaping experience. 

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can master both manual and auto modes, maintain the device with regular cleaning, and choose the right coil type for your needs.

Regular maintenance is key to enjoying cleaner, more flavorful hits while extending the lifespan of your Seahorse Max. 

With proper care, this innovative dab pen will continue to deliver top-notch performance, making it an essential tool for any vaping enthusiast.
