How to use the Unicorn Portable Electric Dab Rig
This is the next generation of dab rigs, it's quick and easy to use, you don’t need any torch or heating devices as it's all built-in. Here we give you a quick overview of how to use and maintain your Unicorn electric dab rig.
The quartz hive coil is better for the manual mode.
The quartz cup coil is better for auto-mode
Lift the magnetic top from the base, add a small amount of the concentrate into the heating chamber/coil.
Note: Take care not to overload as this will restrict the airflow and waste your concentrate. A microdose of 0.1-0.2g is plenty.
Add a small amount of water to the glass chamber, just enough to cover the percolation holes.
Replace the magnetic top, line up the Lookah wording with the power button, ensuring it is correctly in place.
You can insert the silicone mouthpiece into the top of the glass to reduce any chance of splashback (optional).
Press the On/Off Power button 5 times quickly within 2 seconds to turn on the device. The indicator LED will flash 3 times, and the device will vibrate.
Set the temperature:
Press the power button 2 times within 1 second to cycle through the different temperatures.
Level 1 - Low, 10W (Green)
Level 2 - Medium, 16W (Blue)
Level 3 - High, 19W (White)
Manual Mode
This is best with the quartz hive coil.
Once the temperature has been selected, press and holds the power button to use.
Note: With the first hit of a session, please hold the button for 5-10 seconds for the coil to heat up and start vaporizing the concentrate before inhaling from the mouthpiece.
The maximum you can hold the power button for in one use is 60 seconds.
Auto Mode
This is best with the quartz cup coil.
Once the temperature has been selected, press the power button 3 times within 1.2 seconds to start. The indicator light will flash the color of the set temperature, and the device will vibrate twice to indicate the preheating is in progress. Preheat time is 30-60 seconds.
Once the preheating has finished, the device will vibrate, and the indicator light will remain on. The device will maintain the set temperature for 60 seconds.
You can now start to inhale the vapor from the mouthpiece.
During auto mode, hold the power button for 3 seconds to stop heating and return to manual mode.
After using the device, please allow a few moments for it to cool down, then remove the magnetic top and wipe away any excess residue with a q-tip.
Please clean the device with the brush provided between uses to ensure unrestricted airflow for the best experience.
