Which LOOKAH coil does your device take, 710 or 910?
A LOOKAH 910 coil has a thread 2 mm longer than a 710 coil. LOOKAH lists different devices for each, so the number on the pack has to match your device.
| 710 quartz dish coils | 910 quartz dish coils | |
|---|---|---|
| Thread | 710 | 910, “2mm longer than standard Lookah 710 quartz dish coils” |
| LOOKAH says they fit | Dragon Egg, Unicorn Mini, Dinosaur, Q7 Mini, Seahorse X, Swordfish, Ant, Python | Octopus, Mini Dragon Egg |
| LOOKAH says they don’t fit | Unicorn 2.0, Octopus, Hammer, Q7, the Seahorse series (though the same page lists the Seahorse X as a fit) | LOOKAH doesn’t say |
| Types | A, B, C, D, and a mixed pack | One kind, in packs of five |
| Comes in the box with | Dinosaur and Ant: two Type D coils each | Mini Dragon Egg: two 910 coils |
The 710 coil types
LOOKAH makes four 710 dish coils and names each one for what it does. They share the 710 thread, so they swap on the same devices, and LOOKAH says “These coils are all interchangeable.”
| Type | LOOKAH’s name | What LOOKAH says is different |
|---|---|---|
| A | Best Taste | A wider plate that heats slower but more evenly |
| B | Best Vapor Production | Two holes for faster heat-up |
| C | Wax Saving | A square plate with airflow drawn across the top |
| D | See Through Design, Balanced | Like Type B, with a see-through side |
LOOKAH also sells a mixed pack, Type M: “One of each type (1 x Type A, 1 x Type B, 1 x Type C, and 2 x Type D).”
Why the Mini Dragon Egg takes 910
LOOKAH moved the Mini Dragon Egg to the longer thread. Its page says the Mini Dragon Egg uses an updated 910 coil in place of the old 710, and that the 910 coils “are also easier to remove than the 710 coils”. The bigger, original Dragon Egg is still on the 710 list, and the Octopus takes 910s too.
When to replace one
LOOKAH’s FAQ says coils wear out over time, depending on how often you use them, and to replace one when it’s worn out or broken. It also warns: “If you leave concentrates on the tip or inside the airways it will harden and possibly ruin or wear out the coil prematurely.”
Which one fits yours
- Mini Dragon Egg or Octopus: 910. Mini Dragon Egg parts
- Dinosaur or Ant: 710, any of the four types. Dinosaur parts, Ant parts
- Dragon Egg, Unicorn Mini, Q7 Mini, Seahorse X, Swordfish or Python: 710.
- Unicorn 2.0, Hammer or Q7: not the 710 coils, going by LOOKAH’s list. LOOKAH’s 910 page doesn’t mention them either way.
