    What Makes the Lookah Snail Vape Unique?

    Having a vape battery that looks like a snail is kind of kickass!

    Coming in at just under 2 inches tall, it’s super easy to hide in the palm of your hand and just have the mouthpiece of your cartridge exposed.

    One thing I noticed is that the body is made of metal, which makes it feel sturdy and likely to handle drops or accidental falls pretty well. That’s a solid bonus, especially considering it costs less than $30.

    Best of all though, it’s got a very sturdy base which makes it easy to stand up, unlike most Cart Pens.

    How to Use Lookah Snail 2.0?

    Using the Snail Vape Pen is a breeze!

    You just need to press the power button five times to turn it on, and then you can choose your preferred voltage level by pressing the power button twice.

    The button is easy and convenient to click

    From there, you can press and hold for manual heating, or you can triple click to activate a 10 second pre-heat.

    Having a button is always good for thicker oils and clearing out potential clogged carts compared to draw-activated batteries!

    As some added peace of mind bonuses, the snail battery vape is protected from overheating, short-circuiting, and overcharging!

    Voltage Control and Vapor Quality

    The voltage range gives you good control over how you want your cartridge to hit. Whether you’re after big clouds with less flavor or smaller clouds with richer taste, it lets you adjust to your preference. Here’s how the Lookah Snail’s voltage settings performed during my test with a Tropicanna Banana cart:

    • 3.2V – Blue Light and Flavorful Vapor
    • 3.6V – Purple A Good Mix of Flavor and Cloud Production
    • 4.1V – White – Harsh Vapor better for Connoisseurs

    Overall, it offers a solid voltage range that gives you good control over your cart’s performance. It’s much smoother compared to the harsher fixed settings found on many basic batteries.

    Just a heads up that the voltages are pretty high if you plan on using live resin cartridges, so you might want to consider a battery with a lower voltage for that, like the Dr. Dabber Universal Battery.

    The Snail cartridge battery features a 510 thread connection that’s a little hidden in its body. It’s not quite universally compatible since it’s not top loaded, so you won’t be able to fit carts larger than 1mL into the body.

    How to Clean Lookah Snail 2.0?

    As a draw activated 510 battery, the only real part of the Snail pen that will need cleaning is the 510 threading, which might get gunked up with dirt or resin after a while. To clean this part, you can use an ISO Q-Tip shortly after a session while it’s still warm to clean the threading out.

    Portability and Convenience

    The Lookah Snail vape was super discreet in my testing, as you’re able to hold it in the palm of your hand and use your index finger to push the button. Only the black ceramic mouthpiece of the battery will be visible during your session if you want, and especially at night, most people will just think that you’re using a nicotine vape.

    It also slides effortlessly into most pants pockets, so that wasn’t an issue at all.

    The only real upgrade you can make here is picking up a 510 Battery Vape Case if you like to travel with multiple carts and a charging cable if you’re a heavy user.

    How Long Will the Lookah Snail Battery Last?

    You’ll be able to get around 200 hits from the battery with a full charge, which means a few days of heavy usage without having to worry.

    The light will flash three times to let you know that it’s run out of juice, and it will flash red while it’s charging before turning blue after only twenty minutes.

    One of the few downsides is that the included Micro-USB port included in the kit is extremely small, so it might be easy to lose. A lot of the newer 510 batteries are shipping with USB-C as well, which can make life easier now that it’s becoming standard.

    Value for Your Money

    The Snail 2.0 will have a lot of value for users who are looking for a budget friendly and small 510 thread battery.

    It is a portable, versatile, and easy-to-use 510 battery that is very reliable and won’t crap out on you.

    The warranty is 30 days after purchase, so just make sure to hang onto your receipt in case you need to claim anything.

    Who’s the Snail 2.0 Best For?

    The Snail by Lookah is a good 510 thread battery for anyone that’s looking for a durable option to take with their cartridges on the go. When paired with a vape case, you have a virtually indestructible setup that’s not going to break or die easily.

    The brand doesn’t aim to be the best, but they definitely get the job done for it’s low price tag.

    While it might be a bit of a minimalist kit, there’s definitely some cool coil upgrades to convert the battery into a Wax Pen. These available coils include three different ceramic options and a dual quartz rod that will all pack a nice punch for a small amount of concentrate.

    Comparable Models

    I would say that the most comparable model to the Lookah Snail 2.0 would be the CCell Sandwave. They both cost about the same amount of money with a small and sport a durable frame.

    The biggest difference is that the Sandwave is purely draw activated without a button though, so it really comes down to preference to which one you’d prefer.

    Snail 510 Battery Conclusion

    The Lookah Snail 2.0 is a great device for vaping on the go, as it has a long-lasting battery, a durable metal body, and a good button-activation design – You’ll be able to enjoy smooth and flavorful vapor with just a few clicks of a button.

    Especially since you’ll be upgrade to a wax atomizer, I think that it’s a cute dab pen battery that I would happily recommend to beginners!

    The Lookah Snail is not for those looking for the best vape pen on the market. For top performance, the DaVinci Artiq is a better choice, with its longer vapor cooling path and multiple mouthpiece options.
