Overview
The Lookah Dinosaur is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of another cylindrical device or minimalist box, Lookah made an electric dab rig shaped like a spiked dinosaur standing on its hind legs, tail curving out for balance.

Not subtle. That's the point.
But here's the thing: this e-rig actually works. The 950mAh battery gets you up to 100 heat cycles, three voltage settings let you dial in your preference, and the Type D quartz coils produce clean, flavorful vapor. There's even a hidden dab tool built into the design, which turns out to be more useful than you'd expect.
Design & Build Quality
This thing gets attention. It stands about 6.5 inches tall and looks like a friendly cartoon dinosaur with spikes down its back and a face that's hard not to smile at. The power button is the dino's nose. Ridiculous? Yes. Fun? Also yes.
The main body is lightweight plastic, which keeps the weight down and feels sturdy enough for regular use. Metal components reinforce the important areas. The borosilicate glass bubbler snaps on magnetically, so you can pop it off quickly for cleaning or loading.
Color options: black, blue, gray, green, neon green, orange, purple, and red. The bright colors lean into the playful vibe, but black and gray work if you want something a bit more muted.
The hidden dab tool deserves a callout. It's built right into the design, so you don't need to carry a separate tool. Sounds minor, but it's actually convenient when you're on the go.
Features
Three Voltage Settings
Double-click to cycle through three power levels:
| Setting | Voltage | LED Color | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 3.5V | Green | Maximum flavor, smooth hits |
| Medium | 3.7V | Blue | Balanced performance |
| High | 3.9V | White | Maximum vapor production |
Covers the basics. Low temp for flavor chasers, high temp for cloud production, and a middle ground for everyday use.
8-Second Auto Preheat
The preheat function warms your concentrate for 8 seconds before full vaporization kicks in. This melts material evenly and avoids that harshness you get when cold concentrate hits sudden heat. Works especially well with thicker waxes.
Type D Quartz Dual-Core Coils
The Dinosaur runs Type D 710 quartz coils with dual cores. You get a large heating surface, good airflow through the dual-core structure, and a solid balance between flavor and vapor production. They heat up fast and distribute heat evenly.
Two coils included in the box, so you've got a backup ready when the first one wears out.
LED Display and Haptic Feedback
The LED screen shows battery level and your current voltage setting. When the heating cycle finishes, the device vibrates. So you can feel when it's ready instead of staring at the screen.
Safety Features
The usual protections are here: open circuit, short circuit, overcharging, and voltage surge. Standard stuff for any decent e-rig, but good to have.
Bubbler Compatibility
The magnetic connection works with Seahorse Unicorn and Max bubbler glasses too. Nice if you want to swap in different glass or need a replacement.
Performance
Looks aside, the Dinosaur performs like any other solid Lookah e-rig. The Type D quartz coils heat up fast and stay consistent across all three voltage settings.
Vapor quality is good on every setting. Lower voltage keeps your terpenes intact for flavorful hits. Higher voltage pumps out denser clouds. The dual-core design allows enough airflow that you don't get that restricted draw some compact e-rigs have.
The glass bubbler does its job. Hits come through smooth and cool, which makes longer sessions more comfortable. The borosilicate glass handles heat fine, but you'll want to be careful with it. Glass breaks.
Battery gets you about 100 heat cycles per charge. That's a few days of moderate use before you need to plug in. USB-C charging takes 70 minutes for a full refill, which is pretty quick for a 950mAh battery. And you probably already have the cable lying around.
That hidden dab tool keeps proving useful. Not searching for a separate tool every time you want to load up is a small thing, but it adds up.
Pros & Cons
The Dinosaur mixes personality with real performance. People notice it immediately, and the conversation starts itself. Under that playful design, you're getting reliable hardware: USB-C charging, safety features, solid coils, and that built-in dab tool.
The downside? That same distinctive look. If you want discretion, forget it. You can't exactly hide a dinosaur-shaped e-rig. And the plastic body, while durable enough, doesn't feel as premium as the zinc-alloy builds on some other Lookah devices.
Who Is This For?
Personality seekers: You want gear that reflects your style and gets people talking.
Gift buyers: Hard to beat for a memorable present to a concentrate fan.
Collectors: It adds something different to the lineup.
Casual users: The playful design makes dabbing feel less intimidating.
Function-first users: You want something that works, and you don't mind that it looks like a cartoon.
If discretion or premium materials top your list, look at other Lookah options like the Seahorse Max.
The Bottom Line
E-rigs don't have to look like generic electronics. The Dinosaur proves that. If you like the design, you're getting a capable device that actually delivers.
At $69.99, it matches similar devices on specs: 950mAh battery, USB-C charging, three voltage settings, dual-core coils included. The difference is character. No other e-rig looks like this.
If personality matters to you and discretion doesn't, the Dinosaur is a fun pick that performs where it counts. For more options, see our roundup of the best e-rigs.
