I wanted to cover Loon devices for one practical reason. The lineup sits right where everyday convenience meets “don’t annoy me” reliability. That kind of positioning usually hides trade-offs, and I wanted those trade-offs out in the open.
I ran these devices the same way I treat any daily-use nicotine gear. I kept them in rotation. I logged draw feel, flavor drift, battery behavior, and leaks. Then I compared notes after regular routines, not showcase puffs.
Marcus Reed pushed harder sessions and heat checks. Jamal Davis treated each device like pocket carry hardware. Dr. Adrian Walker reviewed our wording around nicotine risk and labeling limits.

Testing Team Takeaways
I kept circling back to one thing with Loon. The brand leans into straightforward use. Under normal circumstances, that reduces friction. The catch showed up in the “no settings” pieces. When a flavor runs sweet, you cannot steer it. I also watched for condensation, since flat disposables can trap moisture near the mouthpiece. “If it stays clean after a few commute days, I trust it more,” I wrote after rotating the Air+ and Maxx.
Marcus treated these like stress toys. Longer pulls. Faster back-to-back sessions. He cared less about cute flavor names, and more about stability. Heat, then output drop, then coil taste shift. He kept praising the refillables when airflow control mattered. He also flagged sweet disposables that turn syrupy late. “It hits fine now, then it gets sticky on my tongue,” he said after pushing Mango Ice style profiles.
Jamal cared about pocket life. Surface feel. Mouthpiece comfort. Then the “bag test,” where a device gets tossed around and still needs to work. He liked the flat Air+ shape for that kind of carry. He stayed cautious with refillables in a moving day, since a loose pod can create a mess. “I want something I can throw in my pocket and forget about,” he repeated, then he chose Air+ most days.
Dr. Walker kept the boundary tight. Nicotine carries addiction risk. Device comfort does not change that. From his perspective, labels and warnings matter, and “safe” wording does not belong in consumer reviews. He also stressed that irritation reports stay subjective. Health questions belong in a clinic, not in a flavor comparison.

What We Tested and How We Tested It
Flavor testing focused on accuracy, then intensity, then how fast it got tiring. A flavor can taste “strong” and still feel wrong. Each tester ran the same flavor profile more than once. The point was repeatability.
Throat hit stayed in the “subjective feel” bucket. We wrote down harshness, then dryness, then that tight peppery sensation some salts bring. Nobody framed it as a health signal. Dr. Walker reinforced that boundary.
Vapor production got checked in normal rooms, then outdoors. Airflow and draw smoothness got evaluated while walking, then while sitting at a desk. Pocket carry matters in that kind of scenario.
Battery life and charging behavior got logged by habits, not lab meters. I watched drain rate, then heat during charge, then any weird ramping. Marcus watched heat under heavy sessions. Jamal watched charge convenience.
Leak and condensation control got judged by mouthpiece moisture, then pocket lint attraction, then gurgle risk. Build quality got judged by seams, then buttons, then pod fitment. Ease of use included refills, pod swaps, disposal steps, and everyday cleaning.
Scores later in the article reflect only these use-based criteria. They do not replace medical advice.
Loon vape Vapes Our Testing Experience
Loon Air+
Honorary title: Loon vape pocket-flat flavor sprinter
Our Testing Experience
The Air+ entered my rotation as the “flat carry” option. Under commute conditions, that shape matters. A rounded disposable rolls. A flat one stays put. Jamal noticed it first. He kept it in a front pocket with keys nearby, then reported fewer accidental mouthpiece scuffs.
Draw activation behaved consistently in my runs. A quick pull at a crosswalk still fired. A slower pull at a desk still fired. That stability made the device feel less fussy. “It wakes up fast,” Jamal said, then he kept using it between short errands.
Marcus treated the Air+ differently. He pushed longer pulls to see if the coil tone changed. Heat stayed reasonable for a disposable. Output did not crash early. After a few harder sessions, sweetness started to linger. That is where his tolerance kicked in. “The flavor hangs on my tongue,” he said, then he switched to minty profiles.
From my perspective, the Air+ felt built for adult users who want a simple disposable, yet who still care about a dense flavor. No screen exists to distract. No power modes exist to chase. You open it, then you use it.
Dr. Walker’s note stayed focused on labeling and boundaries. Nicotine exposure still carries addiction risk. Flavor enjoyment does not reduce that. He also flagged the habit of chain pulls. Under those circumstances, irritation can rise even when a device works “normally.”
Draw Experience and Flavors
Air+ draw feel lands in a medium resistance zone. It is not a tight cigarette-like pull. It also does not feel like a wide-open direct lung setup. That middle position shaped how flavors landed. When a blend runs bright, it pops fast. When a blend runs creamy, it can feel muted.
Strawberry Ice came across with a cold edge first. Then a sweet strawberry layer settled in the mid-mouth. The inhale felt smooth. Throat hit felt firm, yet not scratchy in my sessions. A longer pull brought more candy tone. Jamal liked it for quick hits. “It tastes like it’s already chilled,” he said after a walk break.
Orange Fantasie leaned zesty on the first second. Then it shifted into a sweeter orange candy profile. The draw felt slightly sharper on the throat, likely from that citrus brightness. Marcus called it “loud.” “That orange punches,” he said, then he stopped after a few pulls.
Mint ran clean and direct. The inhale felt cooler than the fruit flavors. The exhale left a dry, fresh finish. Under office circumstances, it felt less intrusive. I also noticed less syrupy mouth feel after repeated pulls. That made it my reset flavor.
Berry Lemonade tasted like a pink lemonade base, then mixed berries on top. The inhale started tangy. Then sweetness filled the cheeks. Throat hit felt more pronounced than Mint. After a longer session, the lemonade note began to feel artificial. Marcus pointed that out. “It’s fun, then it gets sticky,” he said.
Mango Ice delivered a ripe mango note up front, then a cold finish. The draw felt smooth. The aftertaste lingered longer than I wanted. Jamal still liked it, since he vapes in short bursts. The profile fit that pattern.
Grape leaned purple-candy style, not dry wine grape. The inhale felt soft. The exhale carried a lingering sweetness that built across the day. When I switched back to Mint afterwards, the palate reset felt immediate. That told me the grape is a “commitment” flavor.
Pineapple Ice tasted sharp on the first pull. It carried a juicy edge, then an icy drop. Throat hit felt a touch firmer than Strawberry Ice. Under outdoor use, it stayed punchy. Indoors, the sweetness felt louder.
Best draw experience, in my logs, came from Mint and Pineapple Ice. Strawberry Ice stayed close behind for a colder fruit profile.

Loon Maxx
Honorary title: Loon vape no-charge workhorse stick
Our Testing Experience
Maxx behaved like the brand’s “no charging, no excuses” disposable. That premise shaped how I tested it. I treated it as a backup device. I left it in a car console. I carried it on short errands where I did not want a cable involved.
The first days felt strong. Output stayed steady. The device delivered a firm throat feel on colder flavors. The battery concept also reduced anxiety. I never checked a battery indicator, since none exists. Under that kind of use, simplicity becomes the feature.
Marcus pushed it harder, then looked for the late-stage drop. He sees a pattern in big-battery disposables. Flavor stays bold early, then it flattens. That flattening showed up for him sooner on sweet blends. “It’s good, then it turns syrupy,” he said after repeated fruit pulls.
Jamal liked the no-charging angle. He also noticed the body feels more “stick-like” than Air+. That changes pocket comfort. In his view, the Maxx carries fine, yet it is less stealthy. “It feels like a pen in my pocket,” he said, then he switched back to the flatter Air+ for gym-bag days.
From the perspective of reliability, I saw fewer weird misfires than I expected. The draw stayed consistent. Condensation stayed controlled. The main trade-off came from end-of-life flavor drift. Dr. Walker’s caution stayed general. High nicotine strength listings call for adult-only framing and careful storage away from minors.
Draw Experience and Flavors
Maxx draw leans slightly tighter than Air+. That tighter pull makes the throat feel firmer, even before you consider nicotine strength. It also makes “ice” flavors feel sharper. For some adults, that kind of hit feels satisfying. For others, it feels too pointed.
Creamy Frost Bite started surprisingly smooth. A soft dessert note came in first. Then an icy finish clipped the sweetness. The inhale felt plush, then cold. On the exhale, the cream tone stayed in the back of the mouth. I liked it for slower evening pulls. Marcus felt the sweetness stack up. “It coats my tongue,” he said after a longer session.
Blue Razz tasted bright and candy-forward. The first pull hit with a blue raspberry pop. The next pulls turned more sugary. Throat hit felt firm. Under outdoor use, it stayed punchy. Indoors, it felt loud. Jamal used it in short bursts. “One pull is enough,” he said, then he pocketed it.
Iced Lush leaned watermelon first, then cold. The watermelon note felt familiar, then a menthol edge tightened the throat. This kind of flavor hides coil drift for a while. When it started to fade later, the menthol still “felt” strong. Marcus called that deceptive. “It still feels cold, but it tastes weaker,” he said.
Mint Crush felt cleaner than the fruit lineup. Sweet mint opened the inhale. A colder finish followed. Aftertaste stayed dry. That dryness helped during work breaks. I also noticed less mouthpiece residue, though that can vary by use.
Frozen Peach delivered juicy peach up front, then an icy finish. When it was fresh, it tasted bright and realistic enough. Later in the device life, the peach moved toward candy. That shift did not ruin it. It did change the vibe. Jamal still liked it, since he rotates flavors often.
Classic Tobacco delivered a mild tobacco note, not a heavy ash profile. It leaned slightly sweet. The draw felt firmer on the throat. Marcus liked it more than expected. He said it stayed “honest” longer. “It doesn’t get weirdly sweet,” he said.
Strawberry Lemonade tasted tangy early, then sugary. It popped for the first pulls. Afterward, that lemonade tang turned sharp. I ended up using it as a “short session only” flavor.
Best draw experience came from Mint Crush and Classic Tobacco. Creamy Frost Bite earned a spot for dessert adults who still want cold finish.

Typhoon 2.0
Honorary title: Loon vape airflow-tuner daily driver
Our Testing Experience
Typhoon 2.0 entered the test as the “control” option. With disposables, you accept the factory draw. With Typhoon, you can steer. That matters for adults who switch between tighter MTL pulls and looser hits.
I treated it like a week-long daily driver. I carried it to work. I refilled in the evening. I also forced myself to deal with small chores, since those chores define refillables. A pod device can taste great and still be annoying. Typhoon stayed mostly cooperative.
Marcus took the airflow ring and opened it up. He looked for stability under longer pulls. Heat stayed under control in his sessions. He also noticed coil tone changes when the pod got low. “It gets louder when the liquid drops,” he said, then he started refilling earlier.
Jamal kept airflow tighter. He wanted a cigarette-like resistance. Under commute circumstances, that tighter pull reduced accidental “too much” hits. He also liked the device feel. It sat in the hand like a small tool, not a toy. “It feels solid for a pocket day,” he said after carrying it on a long walk.
My own notes kept returning to refill habits. Overfill can create gurgle. Underfill can create a hot, dry feel. That reality is not a flaw. It is the trade you accept for control. Dr. Walker’s input stayed on the caution side. Refillable devices still deliver nicotine. “Smoother” does not equal “safe.” He also urged clear language around storage, especially with bottled liquids.
Draw Experience and Flavors
Since Typhoon is refillable, the draw experience depends on the pod, the airflow setting, and the e-liquid. I kept the test anchored to Loon’s own salt lineup, since that matches how most buyers will pair the device. Under normal use, that pairing reduced variables.
Blue Razz in Typhoon tasted brighter than in Maxx for me. Airflow control helped. With a tighter setting, the berry note felt concentrated. The inhale stayed smooth. The exhale left a candy edge, yet it felt less syrupy than the disposable version. Marcus opened airflow and got more vapor. He also got less flavor density. “Open airflow, less taste,” he said, then he tightened it back.
Iced Lush behaved like a coil mask. Menthol can cover small flavor shifts. Early in the pod life, watermelon felt juicy. Later, sweetness rose while watermelon detail dropped. With airflow slightly tighter, that detail returned. Jamal liked that tuning. “I can fix it without changing pods,” he said after adjusting mid-day.
Mint Crush delivered the cleanest loop. It stayed stable across refills. Throat feel stayed firm, yet it avoided that sharp disposable edge. Under office use, it felt like a reset button. I also saw less lingering sweetness afterward.
Frozen Peach showed the biggest difference between settings. With airflow open, peach felt airy and perfumy. With airflow tighter, it felt juicy and more “peach skin” forward. That tuning became the value. I ended up vaping it longer, since I could steer away from perfume notes.
Gum Mint surprised me. A sweet mint can turn cloying. In Typhoon, the sweetness sat lower. Cooling felt smoother. Jamal used it after meals. “It cleans the palate,” he said, then he kept it as his after-lunch pick.
Apple Berry delivered a crisp inhale, then a berry finish. It felt brighter than most blends. Throat hit rose when I pushed longer pulls. That is where I adjusted airflow tighter. The tighter pull reduced harshness in my notes.
Best draw experience came from Mint Crush and Apple Berry in this device. Blue Razz stayed close for candy adults. Under heavy use, Marcus preferred cooler profiles to avoid sweetness fatigue.

Reloaded
Honorary title: Loon vape compact refill rhythm
Our Testing Experience
Reloaded is the smaller refillable sibling in this Loon set. The design felt more “daily pocket,” less “tinker desk.” That framing mattered in how we tested it. I carried it like a phone accessory. Jamal treated it like a grab tool. Marcus treated it like a “can it handle me” challenge.
The first thing I noticed involved pod capacity. A smaller pod changes behavior. You refill more often. Under a long workday, that can become annoying. Under short daily use, it stays fine. Jamal fit that second pattern. He vapes in quick bursts. He liked the smallness. “This disappears in my pocket,” he said, then he stopped thinking about it.
Button firing adds another layer. Draw-activated devices feel automatic. Button devices feel intentional. I liked that under commuting conditions, since accidental draws did not happen. The button also let me take a gentle pre-heat style pull. It made the first second smoother for thicker salts.
Marcus tried to push it into heavier output expectations. The device pushed back. It stayed an MTL-style piece at heart. That is not a flaw. It is a target. “It’s not built for my big pulls,” he said, then he moved back to Typhoon when he wanted more air.
Dr. Walker’s angle stayed simple. Refillable devices can reduce waste. They also increase handling of nicotine liquids. Under those circumstances, storage discipline matters. Adult-only context matters.
Draw Experience and Flavors
Reloaded draw depends on the pod resistance. The documentation shows pod options at 1.0Ω and 1.3Ω. That matters. The higher resistance pod tightens draw, then it softens the hit. The lower resistance pod opens it slightly, then it boosts warmth. I rotated both.
Mint Crush on the 1.3Ω pod felt crisp. It hit clean, then it exited clean. Cooling stayed smooth, not sharp. Aftertaste stayed dry. Jamal liked it as a default. “It never gets weird,” he said after using it all afternoon.
Blue Lightning tasted brighter on the 1.0Ω pod. Warmth rose slightly. The berry-citrus vibe felt more vivid. Throat feel rose too. Under fast sessions, it could get edgy. I slowed pulls down, then it settled.
Frozen Strawberry felt best on the 1.3Ω pod. The cooler finish came through without harshness. On the 1.0Ω pod, sweetness jumped forward. That made it feel heavier. If sweet fatigue bothers you, then the 1.3Ω choice fits better.
Iced Pineapple behaved like a sharp flavor. In a smaller pod device, sharp flavors can feel too pointed. I tightened my pull. I also lowered session length. That helped. Jamal still liked it for short bursts outside. The bright edge fit that moment.
Apple Berry landed balanced. A crisp inhale arrived first. Berry sweetness followed. The 1.0Ω pod made it warmer and louder. The 1.3Ω pod made it calmer and more “sipping” friendly. Marcus preferred warm. Jamal preferred calm.
Creamy Frost Bite tasted surprisingly good in Reloaded. The dessert tone came through. The cold finish did not cut the cream too hard. The tighter draw helped it feel like a slow treat. After repeated pulls, sweetness still built. I rotated back to Mint afterward.
Best draw experience came from Mint Crush on 1.3Ω. Apple Berry also stayed strong as an all-day option. For a sweeter treat, Creamy Frost Bite worked best in short sessions.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |

Best loon vape for no-charging convenience
Winner: Loon Maxx
Battery life scored highest, and the routine stayed friction-free. Under travel circumstances, that mattered more than fine control. -
Best loon vape for airflow control seekers
Winner: Typhoon 2.0
Airflow and draw scored highest, and that tuning fixed flavor fatigue in our notes. Marcus also preferred it when sessions ran longer.
How to Choose the loon vape Vape?
Start with vaping style. A tight MTL pull fits many adults who want a controlled feel. A looser pull fits adults who chase more vapor. Airflow adjustment simplifies that decision.
Next comes nicotine tolerance. High-strength disposables can feel intense fast. Refillables let you choose e-liquid strength, if that is your routine. Dr. Walker still frames nicotine as addictive. That fact stays unchanged across devices.
Then look at daily habits. Commuters usually want pocket stability. Desk users often want clean mouth feel. Heavy session users often want airflow control, plus stable output.
Matching advice based on our testing:
An adult who wants low-maintenance disposables should look at Air+. The flat shape helped daily carry. Flavor stayed vivid in short sessions. The rechargeable battery reduced “dead device” frustration.
An adult who hates charging cables should look at Maxx. The listings position it as a start-to-finish battery approach. In practice, that reduced decision fatigue. Sweet flavors can still tire, so Mint Crush or Classic Tobacco fit better.
A former heavy smoker who prefers stronger sessions may lean Typhoon 2.0. Airflow control helped Marcus tune the hit. Vapor output also rose when airflow opened. Refill steps exist, so the device fits adults willing to do upkeep.
A commuter who wants a small refillable should look at Reloaded. Jamal carried it easily. Button firing reduced accidental activation risk. Pod size is small, so it rewards adults who vape in short bursts.
A flavor-focused adult who rotates often can pick Air+ for simplicity, then Typhoon for control. Under those circumstances, the two-device approach covered more moods without feeling complicated.
Budget still matters. Disposables cluster near the same price point in current listings. Refillables cost more up front. Over time, liquid costs shift the math.
Limitations
Loon’s lineup, as tested here, does not serve every style.
Extremely high-wattage cloud chasing is not the point of these devices. Even Typhoon stays a pod system. Marcus can push it, yet it will not behave like a big mod rig. Adults who demand very open direct-lung airflow will feel constrained.
Ultra-low-budget shoppers may not love the value story. Disposables at this price level need consistent flavor to justify repeat buys. When sweetness fatigue shows up, value drops. That pattern appeared most with candy-heavy flavors in Maxx and Air+.
Adults who want full rebuildable control will not find it here. Pod swapping and refilling is the ceiling. Coil rebuilding is not part of this ecosystem.
Heavy all-day users can run into battery friction. Maxx helps by skipping charging, yet it is still finite. Reloaded can need mid-day charging if sessions spike. Air+ can also need charging depending on pace. Typhoon carries a larger battery, yet refill habits still control comfort.
People who are not already nicotine users should not be the target market. Nicotine exposure carries addiction risk. Dr. Walker keeps that boundary firm. Adults who are pregnant, or who have health concerns, should seek medical guidance rather than device shopping.
Is the loon vape Vape Lineup Worth It?
Worth depends on what “worth” means for an adult nicotine user. Loon’s disposables deliver convenience. That shows up fast. You open the pack. You inhale. Then you move on with the day. Air+ fits this kind of routine. The shape stays pocket friendly. Flavor hits hard. Under short sessions, that intensity feels satisfying. Ease of use scored highest for Air+. That matches the lived feel.
Maxx aims at a different value point. Charging disappears from the routine. The listings frame it as a start-to-finish battery design. That matches how it felt. I never hunted for a cable. I also never checked a display. Those missing steps reduce daily friction. A trade-off exists. Flavor drift can happen near end of life. Sweet blends show it first. Mint and tobacco styles stayed steadier in my notes.
Typhoon 2.0 shifts the value story toward control. Adjustable airflow changes the entire experience. A tight pull concentrates flavor. A looser pull increases vapor. That tuning helped Marcus manage heat and output. It also helped me reduce sweetness fatigue. Facts first, then conclusion. More control appeared. More satisfaction followed for adults who care about tuning.
Reloaded brings value through smallness. It carries easily. It also feels more intentional, since the button controls firing. That matters in pockets and bags. A limit shows up through pod size. Refills happen more often. Under heavy usage, that becomes annoying. Under light daily use, it stays fine.
Price matters in a practical way. Air+ and Maxx sit around the same single-device price in many listings. Upfront cost stays low. Typhoon and Reloaded cost more, then they rely on liquid purchases over time. This kind of math depends on your pattern. If you burn through disposables fast, refillables can feel more reasonable. If you vape lightly, disposables can feel simpler.
Safety features exist, yet they vary in documentation. Typhoon and Reloaded list protections in manuals. Disposables rarely show details beyond standard warnings. Dr. Walker’s stance stays consistent. Nicotine is addictive. Aerosol exposure still has risk. Device quality does not erase that risk. Adult-only framing remains the only responsible framing.
Pro Tips for loon vape Vape
- Keep disposables upright when possible, especially after warmer pocket time.
- Take shorter pulls on sweet flavors. Flavor fatigue rises with long sessions.
- Use Mint-style profiles as a palate reset between candy blends.
- For refillables, stop refilling a little below the top line. Gurgle risk drops.
- Let a fresh refill sit briefly, then start with gentle pulls. Dry taste drops.
- Charge on a stable surface. Avoid charging in direct heat.
- Wipe the mouthpiece daily. Condensation and lint can build up.
- Rotate devices if one flavor starts to feel “sticky.” The tongue needs breaks.
- Store liquids and devices away from minors. Lock storage works best.
FAQs
Q: How long does a Loon Air+ usually last in real use?
A: It depends on pacing. Short sessions stretch it out. Heavy chain sessions shorten it. In our logs, the rechargeable setup helped extend usability, since “battery dead” did not end the device immediately.
Q: Does Loon Maxx really avoid charging?
A: The brand listings position it as a “use it through” battery approach. In practice, we treated it as no-charge hardware. That simplicity was real. End-of-life flavor drift mattered more than battery anxiety.
Q: How often do Typhoon 2.0 pods need replacement?
A: Pod lifespan depends on liquid sweetness and session length. Marcus burned through pods faster with longer pulls. Cleaner, less sweet profiles lasted longer for me. When flavor dulls or a burnt edge appears, then a pod swap becomes the practical move.
Q: Does Typhoon 2.0 leak in pockets?
A: It can, if overfilled or if the pod is not seated. With careful fills, leakage stayed modest. Jamal still avoided tossing it loose in a gym bag. He used a small sleeve pocket instead.
Q: How long does Reloaded battery last day to day?
A: Light users can get through a day. Heavy users may need a recharge. In our scoring, battery life landed below Typhoon, mainly due to the smaller 560 mAh size.
Q: What nicotine strength should an adult choose with these devices?
A: Disposables in this lineup are listed at higher strength in many catalogs. Refillables depend on the liquid chosen. The safer guidance stays behavioral, not dosing. Start lower if you feel overwhelmed. Avoid chain pulls. Dr. Walker frames nicotine as addictive and not appropriate for non-users.
Q: Are disposables or refillables easier to live with?
A: Disposables win on daily simplicity. Air+ scored highest on ease. Refillables win on control and flexibility. Typhoon scored highest on airflow. Reloaded won for small carry. Your routine decides what feels easier.
Q: Why do some sweet flavors start tasting “sticky” later?
A: Sweeteners and intense blends can create palate fatigue. Coil and wick conditions also change as liquid level drops. Marcus noticed it first under heavier sessions. Shorter pulls and rotation helped.
Q: Do these devices work for direct lung vaping?
A: The disposables lean more MTL-to-restricted style. Typhoon can open up more, since airflow adjusts. Reloaded stays closer to MTL, especially with higher resistance pods.
