Hi Folks,
I wonder how many times reviewers mention “W” or “Innovative airflow” whilst reviewing this product?...So just to be different: it’s the one that looks like it has two “V’s” placed next to each other, and has airflow that magically surrounds the coil(s) like a leprechaun’s fart.
In obligatory tradition - I kindly received the Geekvape Loop from HealthCabin.net. As always I don’t like to make recommendations in my reviews, instead I’ll present you with my findings to help bolster your research should you be interested in the product.

Impressions, Build Quality & Assembly
It’s the usual fanfare from Geekvape, same box, same spares you get with every other product they release (see my extras specification overview) it just comes with a different picture card inside.
Moving onto the RDA itself it’s a 3 piece design encompassing a large 18mm 810 drip tip sitting at 8mm in height. I’d say the bore is a little larger than I typically like it, but it’s not bordering on the ridiculous and suits this RDA well (especially in a dual coil configuration). I would like to have seen them raise its height a couple more mm though because this RDA gets hot! The coils sit roughly 5mm from top of the chamber, as such you are going to experience sizzling bacon lips if you chain vape it and don’t rest your lips on top of the tip.
You can of course just use the spare 510, but in my opinion it doesn’t really suit this RDA for either dual or single coils. The 510 is the same spare they use in every single pack. There’s no thought as to which products its suits and which it doesn’t (it’s very much a jack of all trades) and for me it’s just passable on this RDA. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not complaining here, at the end of the day you have a spare “just in case” and most companies don’t even bother offering a spare at all, so it’s certainly better than nothing. I just like seeing companies take that extra step with things that's all.
The top cap is a single piece. Located at the centre is the free turning Airflow Control (AFC) ring with the single “loop” logo. Being you can run this RDA in single or dual coil mode; the airflow slots move between two or a single opening. Each airflow slot measures H:7mm & W:3mm.
I have noticed whilst vaping this RDA that I’ll get condensation or juice excess under the AFC ring at which point it’s a pain to clean and makes the outside look a tad messy unless I regularly wipe it over. Additionally I found it a little lose to turn so they could have tightened it up just a tad, although to be fair, once you get juice under it its actually tightens itself up a bit anyway.
Inside the chamber is a shallow conical design which I think suits this RDA. As I mentioned earlier the coil(s) sit wide and high up when mounted. If they had of steepened the dome, it would have restricted coil options and positioning and also affected the unique airflow which I’ll come onto later.
There are two small female cut outs which ensure the chamber sits in the correct position each time. There is no position marking as to how to orientate the chamber so there is a little bit of wiggling motion required every time you replace it. Thankfully it’s easy to centre drip and squonk on this RDA, so it’s not often required.
The deck …Well as I mentioned in my intro you’ll probably repeatedly hear reviewers use words like “unique, W, innovative, surround” that’s because like I’ve just done; they’ve taken it from the front of the box. It’s how it works that interest me because some of my testing returns results I wouldn’t have concluded to be correct, leading me to believe it’s not as simple as Geekvape show in their picture below.
If you see the pic below I reckon some of the air is directed underneath the positive post mount to the other side, which would you have thought would make it really choppy with air hitting each other from both sides, but it doesn’t? You do not want to put too much juice in this RDA (squonking or dripping) even with its 7mm juice well because if you fill up to the top of the bottom chamber you’ll notice its gargles; even though the coils and airflow sit higher, thus supporting the airflow flows underneath theory.
So little refills and often is the way to go on the loop and I keep my wicks free of this central area as well.
In addition air is being directed up the slopes and I think it’s hitting the top of the opposite coil as well as the bottom of the one on its own side. I’ve observed that whether I have a single airflow open or both sides open using single or dual coil, it makes little difference to the flavour. Even running airflow on the completely opposite side to where the coil is situated; I still get similar flavour and vapour production which is pretty decent!
It’s definitely a unique system and those who like tinkering to get the most out of and RDA it’s time to get them slobbery tinkering chops at the ready. To get to this stage I had to try multiple positions including the one suggested by Geekvape (I tried all of these in single and dual configs)
“The Central Position” - I tried this lower in the well as well but felt it only served to muffle the flavour. At this height it seems to work pretty well for single coil as did raising it up a little bit.
“The Geekvape Position” - this is a bang on match for how they position it in their pic. Flavour was ok and improvement over the central position but I felt it was still lacking slightly.
“The Higher Notes Position” haha i jest, but its the best of both worlds and where I personally settled for optimum positioning. These coils are situated pretty close to the middle deck, but when you look top down on them there is at least 1mm more room underneath (look at my wicking pic further down). So air is squeezed under the coil one side and hits it at the top the other side. Combine that with all the jiggery pokery going on underneath and it really does make it a “surround airflow” RDA therefore is conclude Loop really is a suitable name for it.
I have to admit at this juncture I never tried running a super single coil right over the top. It’s a position I’d still might try at some point (perhaps two angled stove tops?), but it’ll leave the coil really damn close to the chamber ceiling. So it might be problematic or extremely hot, especially with possible spitting from it and is the reason I left it for now.
In terms of quality: nothing too bad to report apart from a single nic in the paintwork inside the chamber. The two O-ring around the deck offered spot on resistance however I felt the one holding in the drip tip could have been slightly tighter.
The positive pin sits proud making it hybrid safe. Unfortunately it’s the adjustable two part pin I really can’t stand (be careful tightening this it’s prone to snapping)

hahah best I could come up with was a two V’s and a leprechauns fart ...bet nobody used them yet
