O2 Hookah Review – The Electronic Hookah!

Updated: December 16, 2021
It’s not that often we get a kit that strays away from the normal conventions that the current market has established. While pod-style kits and high-powered box kits are the norm these days and are practically ubiquitous in every vapers life, they don’t really bring much innovation to the industry. Which is why we’re happy to review the all-new O2 Hookah from JWELL, makers of the Bo One. Taking inspiration from the traditional shisha or hookah pipes, the O2 Hookah is a desktop vaporizer that offers the features of an old-school hookah pipe without having to combust any actual material.
Editors Note: For those who are looking for the easiest and most efficient way to make the switch, we suggest checking out the Slice, a pod-based vaping system that offers a hassle-free approach to vaping, no settings, no ohm law, just vapor.

Review: O2 Hookah

Manufacturing Quality

First and foremost, we wanna tell you that this thing is pretty impressive right out of the box. The combination of the light gray and dark gray satin finish that encompass the entire device give off a very sleek and understated look, especially when combined with the O2 Hookah’s smooth lines and lack of sharp edges.

While it might bear some similarity to the shisha pipes of old, thanks to its overall design and shape, the finished aesthetic is a far cry from the traditional and often gaudy designs that we’re used to.

The top of the O2 Hookah is where you’ll find a slot where the proprietary pre-filled e-liquid pods go in, much similar to how traditional shisha pipes are configured where the heating element and tobacco flavoring are placed on top of the pipe.

Like most high-end hookah pipes, the O2 Hookah offers two flexible rubber hoses with well-designed silicone tips, meaning that up to 2 users can use the device simultaneously, a unique and novel concept in the vaping world.C2 Hookah power control

The base of the O2 Hookah houses the water tank which performs the same function as it always did; acting as a filter, but in this case, its mostly just there to create the much sought-after bubble sound effect that most shisha aficionados are used to when taking a draw from the pipe.

The side of the O2 Hookah holds the removable battery which can be easily charged via a USB type-C port, so you won’t be needing a proprietary charger to power up this vape.

Flavor Quality

One of the main draws of the O2 Hookah is that none of its offered pre-filled pods contain any nicotine at all. Just like smoking an old-school shisha pipe where folks would sit around the pipe and puff away to pass time leisurely.

You are even able to have pods that contain no nicotine at all. This might be a deal breaker for those looking for an alternative nicotine delivery system, but the O2 Hookah potential in its applications thanks to its ability to used by multiple users at once. The lack of nicotine in the pods also result in a much more refreshing inhale and purer and more intense flavor profiles which can be hard to achieve with regular freebase nicotine e-liquid.

The big attraction, however, lies within O2’s CBD pods which as the name suggests, contain high-grade American-made CBD. Make no mistake though, the pods contain no THC whatsoever so vaping these on the O2 Hookah won’t potentially impair your cognitive or motor functions.

Unfortunately, despite its massive size, the O2 Hookah doesn’t support true variable wattage wherein the exact power output can be dialed in via a digital display. In fact, the O2 Hookah doesn’t use a digital display at all and instead relies on a vertical LED strip to give you an idea of its current power settings.

It’s definitely one of the safest devices we’ve used to date though thanks to its proprietary closed-cell battery pack that holds up to 8000mAh of vaping power so you won’t have to worry about this thing running out of juice on you anytime soon.

The O2 Hookah uses a 2 button configuration with the aim of keeping things simple for the average non-vaper. One button acts as the power toggle and the other is used to cycle between the various power settings. It’s that simple.

The pre-filled O2 pods simply attach and detach to and from the top of the device and are easy to access and change out in case you feel like you’re in the mood for a different vaping experience altogether.

Portability

This might be obvious by this point, but the O2 Hookah is definitely the last choice for any vaper on the go. It’s simply not designed to be used outside a house or room where flat surfaces are numerous and required for safe and proper operation of this device.

It’s even too large to fit in most backpacks and we recommend packing it in its original box in those rare instances you wish to relocate the O2 Hookah to another venue.

While not being regular hookah users ourselves, the change of pace when trying out and reviewing the O2 Hookah was definitely more than welcome. The easy-to-use hands-off approach in terms of the device’s functions makes it accessible to even most non-vapers while the powerful performance tends to deliver although it definitely won’t satiate your nicotine cravings one bit.

But for those who are looking for a fun and innovative way to vape without any nicotine or are interested in an alternative CBD delivery system, the O2 Hookah just might the way to go.
