Enter Lookah, a brand already well-known for its premium dab pens, e-rigs and wax vaporizers. But does their Turtle 510 thread battery live up to the same standard?

In this review, we take a comprehensive look at how the Lookah Turtle 510 battery performs in terms of compatibility, design, user experience, and value—to help you decide if it's right for you.

Unique Turtle Design

The Lookaah Turtle is the most unconventional and strange-looking 510 battery that I’ve had. The protective shell of the device body wraps around and protects your cart – Just like a protective turtle shell!

The Turtle shell is held in place magnetically, giving a layer of protection to your precious carts, whilst being easy to remove.

The outlandish finish that really stands out, for better or for worse. Plus, Available in a range of colors, the device can suit various personal styles.

Portability

The Lookah Turtle is very comfortable to hold in the hand and can fit in most pockets or bags without a hassle. It’s small and flat-shaped at just 63mm tall, 41mm wide, and 24mm deep.

Thanks to its plastic shell and zinc-alloy base, the Turtle is extremely light, making it perfect for taking on-the-go.

Discreetness

The Lookah Turtle is also great when it comes to discreetness. The vape cartridge is concealed and protected in the device, only exposing the mouthpiece, you don't have to be vigilant and careful.

This is great if you want to keep things low-key. Just be careful not to show the LED light at the bottom when you use it.

Battery Life

The 400mAh battery is capable of supporting moderate to heavy use throughout the day, depending on user habits.

Its USB-C quick charge capability ensures that the device is ready to go in a short amount of time, minimizing downtime.

Variable Voltage Settings

The Lookah Turtle offers three voltage settings (3.2V, 3.6V, and 3.9V) to accommodate different vaping preferences.

The Lower 3.2V voltage output offers more mellow effects, good flavor, and a cooler draw. The medium 3.6V output is a little warmer with more intense effects.

The high 3.9V output is for the most dense draws possible from this device and maximum effects from your material. Just keep in mind that the higher the voltage used, the less flavorful vapor you will get.

None of the 3 voltage settings feel too uncomfortable or harsh, but newcomers should only use the low or middle settings to get started.

Adjusting the voltage is simple, just double-click the button. A LED indicator lights up in corresponding colors to indicate the output: Green, Blue, and White.

10s Pre-Heat Function

The 10s preheat function is really what makes it work because without it, it would be much more difficult to get these thicker oil carts started.

The preheat mode warms the heating element at a low voltage that does not vape the concentrate. It does a good job of getting the cartridges going and ready for some pulls.

Since the Turtle is support draw activation, the 3 to 5 seconds that you pre heat the unit will be more than enough to make sure that once you actively start inhaling, you immediately get thick and flavourful vapor.

Ease of Use

There is no learning curve to use this device. The Turtle features auto-draw activation, which means no buttons are needed - simply inhale to activate.

It also offers a simple one-button operation. You can turn it on and off, change the power settings, and use the preheat function all with that one button.

Having a button will also help you manually heat the wick, instead of relying on draw-activation where you can run into problems like your battery not recognizing your inhales, or preventing a clogged wick.

There is also an Intuitive LED indicator light on the bottom of the device, which helps indicate when the unit is heating and the battery levels during charging.

Compatibility and versatility

The Lookah Turtle takes most standard 510 thread 1G carts as well as wider 2G oil vape carts.

In addition, the Turtle also works with special 510 wax atomizers, made by Lookah. In this case, you need to load the concentrate yourself.

This versatility makes it an excellent choice for vapers who enjoy exploring different flavors and strengths.
