Lookah Python Review

Updated: 20 December 2023

The Lookah Python has arrived. It’s another totally unique and quirky device from Lookah. Following the Bear, Giraffe, Seahorse Pro and Snail – Lookah have a habit of creating distinctive vapes inspired by the beasts of the animal kingdom. The snake skin textured chassis ties the Python to this animal theme. But does this wax vape deliver the performance to match?

Build Quality

The first thing to say is that the Lookah Python is a mid-range ‘affordable’ vape. It’s not a high-end premium device – so don’t expect aerospace-grade titanium. That being said, the build quality feels high, and the craftsmanship feels solid. It weighs 125g which gives it a reassuringly robust feel to hold. The Python feels durable, and the entire device feels like it has been built to last. We didn’t try dropping the device from any great height (our boss wouldn’t let us) but I certainly think it would withstand the knocks and bumps of daily use.

The top of the device has a flip-open mechanism, which is held shut magnetically. This again feels high quality & has a satisfying *snap* to it. Flipping open the cap gives you instant access to the coil and the in-built dab tool. The open/shut snapping is addictive. So you might find yourself flicking it like a Zippo lighter!

If there are 2 design features that warrant the Python name – they are;

1. The serpentine-textured shell. This gives the practical benefit of being grippy, and gives structural rigidity to the chassis.
2. The 360° swivel mouthpiece. Just like a slithering snake that wiggles in any direction it likes. The practical benefit is that the mouthpiece is hidden away when you’re not using it, which makes it easier to stash away. It also looks pretty neat!

Coils

The Lookah Python comes with two Lookah Type D coils – one pre-installed and one spare. The Lookah Type D coil is a see-through atomizer with a large quartz chamber which means you can see how much wax is left. It has a large surface area with good airflow and dual cores, This provides a good balance between taste and large clouds. The dish at the bottom is made up of crushed quartz. The crushed quartz material is abrasive, making it easy for your concentrates to cling to the dish. Quartz is also known for producing super flavorful rips.

The Python fits the entire range of Lookah 710 coils. They each have their own unique characteristics. You can compare these below – Or you can try them all for yourself! The 710 thread coils are effortless to unscrew and remove. This lets you swap them out easily, and also get easy access to give them a full clean which keep your hits fresh. The other Lookah 710 coils you can try are;

• Type A Quartz Coil
  • Large surface area with 360° airflow
  • Best for TASTE
• Type B Quartz Coil
  • Dual hole cores exposes wax to heat
  • Best for VAPOR PRODUCTION
• Type C Quartz Coil
  • Square quartz plate with direct airflow
  • Best for WAX SAVING
• Type D Quartz Coil
  • See through atomizer lets you see wax
  • Best mix of TASTE + CLOUDS
  • These are included with Lookah Python

Key Features

The digital display screen is a modern and eye-catching feature. When you turn the device on, the auto pre-heat function is activated. The digital screen will display an animated countdown, to let you know when the device is ready. 3-2-1… Blast off!!

The 650mAh capacity battery is relatively ‘mid-range’. It will last you multiple sessions, but it isn’t as high as some of the top range brands like PAX would include. The battery is USB-C charging. This has the benefit of being compatible with most new phone chargers, and gets you back to full charge in no time. Can’t wait that long? You can still take hits, even whilst the device is charging!

There are 3 pre-set voltage settings. These give a good range of heat, depending on whether you like mellow hits, or the much stronger potent hits you get at a high heat. Your voltage setting is indicated on the digital display screen. The voltage settings and corresponding numbers are;

• Mode 1: 3.4V
• Mode 2: 3.7V
• Mode 3: 4.0V

Performance

So how did the Lookah Python perform? We loaded up the atomizer with a little wax, and gave it a spin on the 3.7V heat setting. The draw is fantastic. The airflow was spot on, and it delivered a nice smooth hit. The quartz coil delivered a decent cloud of vapor, and the flavor profile was enjoyable. The atomizer wasn’t overly hungry on using up the wax. It felt like it provided a good balance of heating the right quantity of wax up – without being overly conserving.

Final Verdict

As far as mid-range, portable dab pens go – It was right up there with the best that we’ve tried! The Lookah brand have really have mastered making well performing vapes that stand-out in the crowded marketplace thanks to their unusual, unique and quirky designs. The distinctive device styles grab your attention, and the craftsmanship and performance ensures you’re satisfied when you decide to give them a try. The Lookah Python is no different. The rules of attraction make you pick the device up – Then you discover that you’re happy that you did!

So if you’re looking for a high performance wax pen at an affordable price – We recommend the Lookah Python!
