How We Tested It
We ran each device through commute pulls, desk breaks, and longer evening sessions. Our testing logged flavor clarity , throat hit consistency , and whether vapor output stayed stable as the device warmed up. We also tracked draw feel and airflow behavior on short pulls and longer pulls, watched battery life across normal days, and checked for leak resistance issues such as tip moisture, condensation, and pocket mess. Build quality , ease of use , and portability scores came from repeated carry and repeat handling. Dr. Adrian Walker reviewed our notes so the write-up stayed focused on testing rather than health claims.
Loon Vape: Our Testing Experience
Loon Air Plus
Our Testing Experience
In our testing, the Air Plus worked best as a steady daily disposable. The spec sheet is simple—8ml of e-liquid, 50mg nicotine salt, a 550mAh rechargeable battery, and a mesh coil—so the real question was whether it stayed even from the first few pulls to the end of a normal day. It mostly did. The draw stayed smooth, the flavor stayed clean, and the device never felt fussy.
Marcus pushed it harder indoors and outside, trying to make the flavor fall apart with repeated pulls. It held up better than we expected from such a slim body, though it never turned into a cloud-heavy device. Jamal liked the flat shape and easy pocket carry. I paid most attention to charging and everyday consistency, and our testing showed stable charging behavior with only light mouthpiece moisture during longer sessions.
What we liked
- Smooth draw with stable flavor edges
- Rechargeable convenience without extra controls
- Pocket carry that does not feel bulky
Who it is best for
- Adults who want a calm, steady MTL-style pull
- People who want rechargeable convenience without menus or buttons
- Commutes, errands, and quick break sessions
Where it falls short
- It does not deliver a big, warm hit
- The tip can pick up light moisture in longer sessions
- If you want airflow tuning, this is not the device for it
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Smooth draw feel | Vapor output is moderate |
| Clean flavor from a mesh coil | Occasional mouthpiece dampness |
| Rechargeable via USB-C | Limited tuning and controls |
| Easy pocket carry | Not a high-impact hit |

Loon Maxx
Our Testing Experience
The Maxx is the simplest device in the lineup. You pick it up, take a pull, and keep moving; there is no charging routine and no recovery once it is spent. In our testing, that simplicity was the whole appeal. The 6.5ml, 50mg setup delivered a denser pull than the Air Plus, with steady output through most of its run.
Marcus treated it like a stress-test device and ran frequent pulls to see where it would slip. It stayed manageable, though the draw felt heavier in longer sessions. Jamal liked it for errands and workday carry because there was nothing to think about. We also confirmed that the bottom airflow holes change the draw in a noticeable way when you cover one. Near the end of its life, vapor thinned out and the device felt drier, which matched what we saw across repeat use.
What we liked
- Zero charging routine, truly grab-and-go
- Mesh coil flavor holds up well early on
- Simple airflow tweak actually changes the draw
Who it is best for
- Adults who want a disposable with no cable dependency
- People who prefer a denser, more direct draw
- Outdoor or worksite carry where simplicity matters
Where it falls short
- Once it is done, it is done—there is no recharge fallback
- Denser pulls can feel heavy in longer sessions
- Late-life mouthpiece moisture can show up if you chain it
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| No charging required | Finite run; cannot be recharged |
| Strong, consistent draw | Can feel dense in longer sessions |
| Mesh coil with cotton | Late-life tip moisture is possible |
| Finger-tighten airflow option | No user tuning beyond airflow holes |

- Device type: disposable (non-rechargeable)
- E-liquid contents: 6.5ml
- Nicotine strength: 50mg
- Battery: 1000mAh (non-rechargeable)

- Activation and airflow: draw-activated; two bottom airflow holes (finger-tighten)
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Flavor | 4.2 | Good punch and staying power, with mild fade near end-of-life |
| Throat Hit | 4.3 | More direct and dense than the Air Plus without turning harsh |
| Vapor Production | 4.1 | Solid output for a simple disposable build |
| Airflow/Draw | 4.0 | Simple and consistent, with a useful finger-tighten option |
| Battery Life | 4.2 | Strong run for the format, but there is no recharge safety net |
| Leak Resistance | 4.1 | Generally clean carry, with some late-life tip moisture risk |
| Build Quality | 4.2 | Felt sturdy in pockets and outdoor use |
| Ease of Use | 4.5 | True draw-and-go use with zero charging decisions |
| Portability | 4.3 | Easy carry, though slightly more noticeable in-pocket than the Air Plus |
| Overall Score | 4.2 | The simplest Loon option: reliable, dense, and cable-free |
Loon Typhoon 2.0
Our Testing Experience
Typhoon 2.0 is where the lineup starts feeling like a full refillable instead of a disposable with a charging port. Once we filled the 3.5ml pod and started adjusting airflow, it became clear why it felt more flexible than the smaller devices. In our testing, it gave the most balanced mix of battery life, vapor, and control.
The airflow adjustment made a real difference instead of feeling cosmetic. Opened up, the draw felt looser; tightened down, it leaned into a more focused pull. Marcus liked being able to nudge the warmth with the 0.6-ohm option, while Jamal mostly cared that it held up in a bag and did not feel flimsy. Our charge times stayed close to the listed 90 minutes, so the routine stayed easy to plan around.
What we liked
- Adjustable airflow makes it adaptable day to day
- 1000mAh battery gives real headroom
- Refillable format feels steady and controlled
Who it is best for
- Adults who prefer refillables to disposables
- People who want airflow choice without overthinking it
- Users who want a bigger pod and fewer refills
Where it falls short
- More parts and upkeep than a disposable
- Larger in-pocket footprint than the smaller devices
- If you hate refilling, it will get annoying over time
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Adjustable airflow | Requires filling and routine upkeep |
| Large 3.5ml pod capacity | Bigger carry footprint |
| 1000mAh battery | More parts to manage than disposables |
| Automatic draw, mesh coil focus | Refill mistakes can create mess |
Details
- Price: $29.99
- Device type: refillable pod device
- Pod capacity: 3.5ml
- Battery: 1000mAh
- Charging time: 90 minutes
- Coil resistance options: 0.8ohm or 0.6ohm
- Maximum wattage: 14.5W
- Airflow and activation: adjustable airflow; automatic draw feature
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Flavor | 4.4 | Strong clarity with a stable pod feel once airflow is dialed in |
| Throat Hit | 4.2 | Adjustable by airflow and coil choice without getting harsh |
| Vapor Production | 4.3 | Noticeably fuller than the smaller refillable and the calmer disposable |
| Airflow/Draw | 4.4 | Easy to tune; the adjustment clearly changes the experience |
| Battery Life | 4.5 | 1000mAh format supports longer days without much battery anxiety |
| Leak Resistance | 4.1 | Clean in carry when filled carefully, with normal pod condensation limits |
| Build Quality | 4.4 | Durable feel in hand and in pocket or bag use |
| Ease of Use | 4.2 | Easy learning curve, though it is still a refillable with steps |
| Portability | 4.0 | Easy enough to carry, just not as invisible as the smaller options |
| Overall Score | 4.4 | The best balance here if you want refillable control and battery headroom |
Loon Reloaded
Our Testing Experience
Reloaded is the easiest refillable here to carry without noticing. In our testing, it felt small, quiet, and controlled rather than powerful. The 1.6ml pod and 560mAh battery shape the whole experience: it is great for short sessions and discreet carry, but it asks for more refills than Typhoon 2.0.
Jamal kept reaching for this one because it disappears in a pocket. Marcus, who prefers more output, respected the consistency but did not want it for long, warm sessions. Our testing showed that it stayed stable through charge cycles and daily carry as long as the pod was filled carefully. The tradeoff was simple: the smaller format stayed convenient, but you felt that convenience in refill cadence.
What we liked
- Pocket-friendly and genuinely discreet
- Controlled output that stays consistent
- Pods and resistances make it easy to keep the feel you like
Who it is best for
- Adults who want a refillable salt-nic daily carry
- People who like a tighter, calmer draw
- Anyone who prefers quiet performance over big vapor
Where it falls short
- The 1.6ml pod means more frequent refills
- It is not designed for high-vapor sessions
- The refillable routine adds steps compared with disposables
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Very compact carry | Small pod requires frequent refills |
| Controlled, consistent output | Lower vapor production |
| USB-C charging | Refill steps add friction |
| Two pod resistance options | Not ideal for long chain sessions |
Details
- Price: $24.99
- Device type: refillable pod device
- Pod capacity: 1.6ml
- Battery: 560mAh
- Charging time: 60-80 minutes
- Coil resistance: 1.0ohm or 1.3ohm
- Maximum wattage: 8.5W
- Size: 92x16mm
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Flavor | 4.0 | Clean and controlled, more about steadiness than intensity |
| Throat Hit | 4.0 | Consistent and measured, without sudden harsh spikes |
| Vapor Production | 3.6 | Not built for big output; best in short, frequent pulls |
| Airflow/Draw | 4.1 | Tight-to-medium draw that stays quiet and predictable |
| Battery Life | 3.9 | Fine for daily use, but heavier users will recharge more often |
| Leak Resistance | 3.8 | Clean if filled carefully; sloppy filling is where problems start |
| Build Quality | 4.1 | Light but sturdy enough for everyday pocket use |
| Ease of Use | 3.9 | Simple kit, though refilling and pod habits add steps |
| Portability | 4.7 | One of the easiest devices here to carry discreetly |
| Overall Score | 4.1 | The discreet refillable option for adults who can live with the refill cadence |

Alternatives worth considering:
Pro Tips for Loon Vape
- Treat disposables like short-session devices ; long chain pulls make flavor and draw feel less steady.
- Wipe the mouthpiece before putting it back in a pocket so small moisture does not become a bigger annoyance later.
- On Maxx, cover one bottom airflow hole for a tighter draw instead of forcing longer pulls.
- On refillables, fill slowly and stop short of the very top; overfilling is the fastest way to make a mess.
- After filling a new pod , wait a few minutes before the first draw so the wick can saturate.
- Keep the charging port clean because pocket lint can turn a normal charge into a connection problem.
- If a device starts tasting flat , take shorter pulls and give it a minute; pushing harder usually makes it worse.
- For Reloaded, keeping a spare pod in rotation makes the small capacity easier to live with.
- For Typhoon 2.0, try the airflow adjustment before changing liquids or pods.
FAQs
Is Loon Air Plus stronger than Loon Maxx?
In our testing, Maxx felt denser and more direct per pull, while Air Plus felt smoother and more controlled. If you want more punch, Maxx feels stronger. If you want an easier, cleaner draw, Air Plus is the better fit.
Which Loon device is easiest for everyday carry?
Air Plus and Reloaded were the easiest to forget in a pocket. Reloaded was the most discreet overall, while Air Plus stayed simpler because you do not have to refill it.
Do the refillables take salt nic or freebase?
Typhoon 2.0 can handle both salt nicotine and freebase liquids. Reloaded makes more sense as a salt-nic device and felt best that way in our testing.
What’s the main downside of Reloaded?
The pod size. The 1.6ml pod keeps the device slim and discreet, but in real use it means more refill stops if you vape often.
