The Loon MAXX Disposable Vape is the definition of easy-to-use, with the promise of being a hassle-free product that you simply "open, puff, and enjoy" — then dispose of it once it’s used up. Below, we'll go through some of the basics of how to operate the Loon MAXX, including maximizing your overall experience with this popular disposable vape.
Overview & Basic Operation
The Loon MAXX Disposable Vape is a typical disposable vape pen. In terms of design and functionality, it is a totally self-contained unit, which means there are no batteries to charge, no refills to worry about, and no complicated mechanisms to understand. The Loon MAXX is equipped with a 1000mAh battery and comes filled with 6.5ml of 50mg nicotine salt e-liquid. Estimated total number of puffs is 2000.
- How to Start: Your Loon MAXX is ready to vape right out of the box. All you have to do is pull the protective silicone stopper(s) off the mouthpiece, and the device will activate as soon as you start vaping.
- On/Off & Basic Functions: As mentioned above, the Loon MAXX is a draw activated vape. No buttons to press. Simply put your lips around the mouthpiece and inhale gently. The LED light located at the bottom of the device will come on when you're drawing, which will confirm that the device is working properly. Once you stop inhaling, the device will automatically shut down.
Step-by-Step User Guide
Below is a step-by-step user guide to get the most enjoyment out of your Loon MAXX Disposable Vape:
- Unbox & Inspect: Take the Loon MAXX out of the box. Remove any protective film or stoppers from the mouthpiece. Look the device over to make sure that there is no visible damage.
- Priming the Coil (Recommended): For the first time you use the Loon MAXX, it's highly recommended to prime the coil before your first vape. To do this, just take a couple of quick, small puffs on the device without taking a deep breath into your lungs. This will help draw liquid into the internal wick and coil, and will help ensure the best possible flavor from your first real vape.
- Activating the Device: Put your lips firmly on the mouthpiece and take a smooth, steady draw. The device will automatically create vapor. Do not draw too hard as this can lead to a less enjoyable vaping experience and possibly spit back.
- Enjoy and Monitor: Use the Loon MAXX like a normal vape. For the best consistent flavor and to prolong the life of your device, try to take moderate sized puffs, and give the coil a few seconds to resaturate with e-liquid after each vape.
Battery, Recharging, and End-of-Life
One of the primary benefits of a standard Loon MAXX is that it cannot be charged. The device is designed to last as long as the 6.5ml of e-liquid contained inside it.
Since the Loon MAXX is a disposable vape, it does not require charging. The device is designed for one-time use. Once the battery or e-liquid runs out, the device is to be disposed of responsibly.
If you would like to consider a rechargeable option from the same manufacturer, Loon offers the Loon Air Plus, which has an 8ml capacity and a rechargeable 550mAh battery via USB-C. They also offer the Loon Reloaded, which is a full refillable pod system with a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods.
LED Light Indicators
The LED light on the Loon MAXX serves as a simple status indicator:
- Solid Light While Vaping: Indicates the battery is good and the device is functioning normally. The LED light at the bottom of the device will turn solid blue, indicating the device is working.
- No Light When Vaping: Typically indicates the battery is dead and the device is finished.
- Blinking Light: Blinking lights on disposable vapes usually indicate one of three conditions: a dead battery, a vape that was drawn too long (which caused the device to enter a safety shutdown state), or a possible internal malfunction. For the Loon MAXX, a blinking light is most likely an indication of a dead battery, indicating the device has reached the end of its lifespan.
You’ll know when your Loon MAXX is nearing its end because you will see a couple of common symptoms. First, you’ll notice a distinctively burnt or dry taste, which is an indication the e-liquid reservoir is empty, and the coil is now burning the dry wick. Second, you’ll notice the vapor produced is significantly weaker, third, the flavor intensity will gradually fade, and fourth, the LED light may begin to flash instead of staying steady. When you consistently experience the burnt taste, the device is empty and should be discarded.
Flavor, Effects, and Shelf Life
- Flavor: The Loon MAXX is known for producing a wide variety of flavors, and is considered one of the top disposable vapes on the market in regards to flavor quality. Many of the Loon MAXX flavors utilize an advanced mesh coil that is capable of pulling a lot of flavor from every vape.
- Nicotine Effects: The Loon MAXX utilizes 50mg nicotine salts. Nicotine salts are a type of nicotine that provides a strong nicotine experience, but produces significantly less throat irritation than traditional freebase nicotine. Therefore, users can expect a smooth, comfortable throat hit, even at high strengths. The effects of the Loon MAXX nicotine are typically fast and satisfying.
- Shelf Life Expectations: If you are storing a Loon MAXX that has not been opened or used, you should keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Generally speaking, the shelf life of a disposable vape such as the Loon MAXX can range anywhere from 1-2 years after the date of purchase for optimal flavor and nicotine potency.
Pro Tips for Best Performance
The Loon MAXX is what you expect from a product of its type: easy, enjoyable and reliable; with no maintenance required, as well as a draw activated design that lends itself perfectly to either new vapers who are looking for an easy way into vaping, or for vapers that want the simplest possible experience. If you understand how it operates and use it for what it was designed for, you will have a consistent experience from your first hit through your final hit.
