Ploox Portable Hookah: What It Is and How It Differs From a Vape

A portable hookah is a disposable built for the loose, airy draw of a shisha pipe rather than the tighter draw of a standard vape. The technology underneath is the same — a coil, a wick and e-liquid — but the airflow, the vapour volume and the flavour direction are all tuned differently.

What actually differs

• Airflow. Much more open. If you find standard disposables restrictive, this is the difference you will notice first.
• Vapour volume. A looser draw moves more air and produces visibly more vapour per puff.
• Flavour direction. Profiles lean toward traditional shisha styles rather than the candy-and-ice range that dominates disposables.
• Form factor. Larger and shaped to sit on a surface rather than live in a pocket.

One thing to know about the draw

A looser draw pulls more liquid per puff, so rated puff counts translate to real use even less generously than usual. The reasoning is in our guide to puff counts.

Very hard draws on an open-airflow device can also pull liquid past the wick, which is the usual cause of gurgling. Gentle and steady works better here than it does anywhere else.
