Lookah Unicorn Mini Review

Lookah Unicorn Mini Dab Rig Introduction and Overview

The Lookah Unicorn Mini is one of the most compact and affordable electric dab rigs on the market. Despite its budget-friendly price tag of under $100, it delivers solid performance and great value for the money.

With a small enough body to fit comfortably in your hand, long-lasting battery, and built-in dab tool, does it have what it takes to be one of the best electric dab rigs for under $100?

I certainly enjoyed my testing sessions, so let’s get into reviewing the specs to see if it’s worth picking up for yourself.

Unicorn Mini Dab Rig Specs

What Makes This Mini E-rig Unique?

Based on the aesthetics of the Lookah Unicorn Mini, it can easily pass as a wax pen. It’s super small, and saves a lot of space by having the coil sit directly below the tiny bubbler.

The bubbler is attached magnetically, making the chamber super easy to access for loading and cleaning, and the narrow shape makes the E-Rig look like a tiny Unicorn, hence the name!

As an added bonus, a hidden dab tool is built into the bottom of the e-rig, making chamber loading quick and hassle-free, as long as you have your wax container with you.

How to Use Lookah Unicorn Mini?

Overall, this small electric dab rig is very easy to use and master!

It uses manual heating by pressing and holding the power button, so anyone switching from a button activated 510 Thread Battery will feel right at home when using it.

To get started, remove the bubbler and fill it with water just above the airholes. This usually takes about a second under a gentle stream. After filling, take a few test pulls to make sure no water is reaching your mouth.

While your bubbler is off, you can remove the dab tool on the bottom of the rig and load about a small rice sized grain dab onto the bottom crushed quartz of the atomizer. If you’re a beginner, having an electric dab tool like the Puffco Hot Knife can make this job a bit easier as its heated tip will drip the dab right into the perfect spot.

After five clicks of the power button, the Lookah Mini Unicorn will turn on and pre-heat. After this, you can press the power button 2 times to change the three voltage settings. From there, you can press and hold the power button for up to ten seconds at a time.

Crushed Quartz Coil

The Mini Unicorn by Lookah uses a crushed quartz coil that’s semi-porous, meaning it soaks up your dab for even heating and smooth, flavorful hits.

The three voltages all give a nice variance on how you want your dab to perform, and ranges from

1. Green 3.5V – Perfect for low temperature dabbing and beginners looking for more flavor
2. Blue 3.7V – A good combination of cloud production and flavor 
3. White 3.9V – Harsh vapor with large clouds & dabs will vaporize quite quickly

One thing to note is that if your coil hasn’t been cleaned and you have a session on white, you may notice a burnt taste from any leftover resin from your last session as it burns.

On budget E-Rigs below $100 like this, there isn’t as much temperature regulation compared to a premium device like the New Puffco Peak Pro.

Lookah Unicorn Mini Dab Rig Vapor Quality

More so than anything, I am impressed by how efficiently the Unicorn Mini is able to perform with a small amount of dab.

While there might be a bit of pooling on the first ten second heating cycle, it works very well and you can expect awesome flavor from the first five inhales or so before the dab gets cooked away.

It can be a little harsh, since the bubbler is so small and can only fit a small amount of water, but for what the budget price tag, its performance is awesome.

Portability and Size

The Unicorn Mini Vape is hardly bigger than a normal wax pen, so it’s very portable and can even fit into larger pants pockets.

With the addition of a hidden dab tool on the bottom of the vape, you’ll be able to get sessions anywhere you travel.

The main thing to watch out for is accidentally knocking over the glass. While the magnetic connection is strong, the base can be unstable and easy to knock over if bumped from the top.

Unicorn Mini Vape Battery Life

The Unicorn Mini has an awesome battery life because of its efficient bowl and 10 second heating cycles – You’ll be able to run ~100 heating cycles without needing a recharge!

On the downside, there’s no included USB-C charging cable, so make sure you have one in hand!

A full charge from dead will take about 2 hours, and you’ll be able to tell when it’s finished when the flashing red light turns a solid green.

Lookah Unicorn Mini Accessories and Included Items

The kit is pretty inclusive and really helps to boost the overall value of the kit.

Inside the kit, you’ll find:

• 1 x Lookah Unicorn Mini E-Rig
• 1 x Silicone Stopper Mouthpiece
• 2 x Quartz Coils (710 Thread – for Unicorn Mini)
• 1 x Cleaning Brush
• 1 x User Manual

Two of the cool features are the rubber stopper for the bubbler which helps to prevent accidental water leakage, and the hidden dab tool on the bottom of the E-Rig.

• As for possible accessory upgrades, there are three different quartz coil options if you ever want a change in performance.

How to Clean the Lookah Unicorn Mini?

To clean this mini E-Rig, focus on two main steps. First, soak the atomizer in isopropyl alcohol to remove any buildup. Second, remove the bubbler and shake it well with Orange Chronic Cleaner to keep it fresh and clean.

Make sure to soak the atomizer in isopropyl every few sessions to help clear out the old resin before it becomes burnt and turns the atomizer black.

Who Is It Best For?

The Lookah Unicorn Dab Rig is a portable electric dab rig that is best for people who want to enjoy cannabis concentrates in a discreet and convenient way!

Price and Value Review

The Unicorn Mini has a lot of value for a beginner buying their first e-rig. The bubbler is low hassle and the built in dab tool will let you take it anywhere as long as you have a dab container.

I would say that heavy users will be able to get around a month of usage before the atomizer is beyond usage, which is not bad.

Unicorn Mini vs. Puffco Peak

Many people compare these two E-Rigs online because the Lookah Mini Unicorn looks like a simpler version of the Puffco Peak. Let’s take a closer look at how their specs match up:

Both are good for beginners, but the Mini is much easier on your wallet if you’re watching your budget. The Peak, however, has smoother vapor thanks to its larger atomizer and bubbler. These features help cool the vapor better, and it also offers a lower temperature range for a gentler hit. You can learn more in our Puffco Peak Review.

Unicorn Mini vs. Puffco Plus

One of the most popular comparisons online is between the Puffco Plus and the Unicorn Mini. You can learn more in our Puffco Plus Review.
