Summary of Key Points:
- The STLTH Loop 2 is a reusable device with disposable pods, designed to cut down on the cost of replacing disposable vapes.
- The Loop 2 replaces the STLTH Loop system, which was based on the same idea. However, the Loop 2 also gives you controllable airflow, battery and e-liquid indicators, and bigger, longer-lasting pods.
- The taste and draw quality are very similar to what you might expect from a STLTH disposable, but the modular design is fun and the airflow is slightly better.
- The Loop 2 system charges in just 30 minutes via USB-C, although the 850mAh battery is modest and won’t usually last more than a day or so.
- U Vape recommends the Loop 2 to disposable users seeking a simple and cost-effective alternative—it probably won’t replace your box mod, but that’s not really the point.
STLTH are no strangers when it comes to innovation, and they’re not afraid to step off the beaten path to deliver something different. That’s certainly what they did with the STLTH Loop system—and the even newer Loop 2 offers extra features that improve on the concept.
But we know what you’re wondering—is it any good? You came to the right place to find out. Read on for our unboxing and review.

Key Features of the Loop 2
Here’s a quick rundown of what the Loop 2 offers, and a breakdown of how it works:
- 850 mAh rechargeable battery
- Battery LED indicator
- E-Liquid level indicator
- Integrated vertical coils
- Direct draw firing mechanism
How it Works
In case you missed the original Loop system, we’re going to take a second to explain the idea behind it. You need to understand how this series differs from traditional pod systems or disposables before you can really grasp what the Loop 2 offers.
The concept behind the Loop and Loop 2 is extremely simple. It’s like a disposable, only you don’t dispose of the device itself—you just recycle the pods once they’re empty, buy new ones, and install them in the original delivery system.
This isn’t exactly a groundbreaking concept—but it does cut down on waste and reduce the costs of buying whole disposables over and over again. If you want a basic, no-nonsense device that you can keep, it’s worth checking out.
First Impressions of the Loop 2
Look & Feel
It’s hard to overstate just how understated this thing is. At first glance, you could actually be mistaken for thinking this is just half a vape—because it kind of is.
You get a tiny little black box that’s wider than it is tall, with nothing but “Loop 2” written in white on the side. Until you get it up and running (we’ll talk more about that in a bit), there’s very little to see.
Device Setup
Fortunately, the setup for this thing is just as simple as the way the device looks. And as soon as you buy a STLTH Loop 2 Pod of your choice, you’ll see exactly why the Loop 2 looks like it’s missing its other half—the pod is the other half.
Plug the pod into the top of the device, making sure the “Loop 2” logos on both halves align (don’t worry—if you do it wrong, you’ll get a red flash from the light on the bottom and won’t be able to draw). Then charge it up and you’re ready to go.
This makes the Loop 2 “system” a kind of modular vape where you change the flavor by replacing the disposable top half, which is kind of a neat gimmick. And charging only takes about 30 minutes.
At a Glance:
- The device itself is super basic and looks a bit odd without a pod installed.
- Modular design with a swappable “top half” cuts down on waste.
- Fast charging and simple setup make this a winner for users who crave simplicity.
Using the Loop 2 System
Flavour Profile & Strength
No need to worry about output settings and such here—the Loop 2 is direct draw, fixed output, and has closed pods, so there’s nothing to tweak except for the airflow. That said, we think the way it tastes is pretty good.
STLTH offers a wide range of different pod flavours for the Loop 2 system, including classic ones like Ice Mint and more adventurous options like Peach Blue Razz Ice. You get six Fruit flavours, 20 Fruit + Ice options, two Mint, and one Tobacco.

Draw Quality
There’s practically no difference here from a STLTH disposable—which, according to the brand, is kind of the point. The airflow seems to be a little better, thanks to the device’s design. Other than that, if you’ve ever used a disposable STLTH vape before, you pretty much know what you’re in for with this one. It’s for simple and discrete puffing, not cloud chasing.
Longevity
The 850mAh battery in the Loop 2 is designed to last most of the day, which we found pretty accurate given the device’s modest power output. Even if it doesn’t, though, the ability to charge it back up in just half an hour with the supplied Type-C charger means you’ll never be out of juice for long.
As for the longevity of the Loop 2 pods, they each come preloaded with 17mL of e-juice and are good for up to 9000 puffs. Replacing these is cheaper than buying multiple disposable STLTH 9Ks, too—which is probably where the real value of the Loop 2 system lies.
There’s one more feature we really love about the Loop 2, though—it has an intuitive e-liquid reading system on the side that shows you exactly how much e-liquid is left in each Loop 2 pod you pair it with, which really helps ensure that you never get stranded with an empty pod. The original Loop didn’t have this, so it’s a big value-add.
At a Glance:
- Airflow is slightly better than on STLTH disposables—and it’s controllable too, which rocks.
- The Loop 2 pods taste pretty good and last for up to 9000 puffs. The e-liquid reading system is also extremely useful.
- The battery doesn’t last that long, but charging it back up again is super quick.
Should You Buy the STLTH Loop 2?
Whether you see value in the STLTH Loop 2 depends on what you’re looking for. Is it going to replace your box mod or fancy pod system with variable wattage and adjustable airflow? Of course not—but that’s not what it’s intended to do.
What the STLTH Loop 2 does offer is a compelling alternative to buying disposables over and over again. Using the Loop 2 system and replacing the pods is cheaper than replacing whole disposable vapes with similar capacity, and the experience is just as good.
