The device we received for testing was provided by Memersvape, and we would like to thank the manufacturer. The product is available in six colours on Memersvape's official website. The one I tested is in Aurora Sky. The design of the device is most reminiscent of a pebble, and the rounded edges make it fit perfectly in the palm of the hand. Its compact size makes it almost unnoticeable in use. At first glance, the materials used have a metallic effect, but on closer inspection they are made of some kind of durable plastic. Despite this, the construction is solid, with no wobbles or rattles, and the weight is nicely balanced.
At the top of the device, there is a multifunctional button that reacts to both pressure and scrolling. This is used to control the wattage, the built-in light, and the countdown and stopwatch functions. While these extra functions may not be useful for everyone, they give the device a “Swiss Army knife” feel. At the bottom is the USB-C port for charging, as well as an airflow control that can be adjusted in three settings, depending on whether you choose MTL or RDL steaming.
The front of the device features a large display that clearly shows all important information. The LED light is located at the bottom and is integrated under the plexiglass cover of the display. On the sides of the device there are design elements that at first glance may appear to be cooling fins, but in fact they are purely aesthetic and have no functional role.
Getting started:
commissioning the device is extremely simple, as is common with pod systems. After unpacking the pod head, there is a rubber sealed charging port on the side, which in my opinion is a bit small. After filling the cartridge with e-liquid, you are almost ready to use. However, it's worth waiting a few minutes to allow the atomizer to properly saturate itself with liquid. Then just insert the pod head and the device is ready to use.
The display:
the display is simple and clear, showing from top to bottom the following information:
- The current power (Watt)
- The battery charge level
- An RGB LED strip that is activated when the pod head is inserted
- The current time, as well as the countdown timer and stopwatch.
The display is easy to read, no squinting or searching required, all information is clearly visible. Below the display is an LED light that can be switched on by pressing the top button twice. The light modes can be switched between by turning the button right and left, with four options: bright light, soft light, strobe mode and SOS mode.
Other extras of the device, such as the stopwatch and the countdown timer, are familiar to everyone, so I won't go into detail about how they work. How useful these features are is a matter of individual preference.
In use
The power output can be adjusted between 12-18 watts, specifically optimised for the 0.8 ohm pod head. It is important to note that pre-filled podheads are also available, in a total of 15 flavours. As the power range is fixed, it cannot be adjusted outside the set values.

With the lower airflow control set to minimum, it provides a tight MTL (mouth to lung) experience, while in the fully open position it may be suitable for RDL (restricted direct to lung) users.
The battery capacity lasted me a full working day (about 9 hours), but this obviously varies depending on usage. I didn't experience the two days of battery life promised by the manufacturer, but a moderate MTL user who, for example, only vape during breaks at work, can easily achieve this duration.
I tested the device with the factory Memers liquids, which I will describe in my next tutorial.
Summary
Positives:
Compact size, comfortable grip even in smaller hands.
Display is clearly visible, no unnecessary decoration or distracting LED strips.
LED light placement is discreet, does not detract from the overall appearance.
The 0.8 ohm pod head ensures good taste reproduction and adequate vapour production.
The power control is prominent enough, but not so prominent that it accidentally gets stuck in a pocket.
The feel of the device is pleasant, with rounded edges and side notches to prevent slipping.
In use, it feels like a transition between a disposable and a pod system - in design it's more like the former, while in function it's reminiscent of the latter.
Negatives:
When placed on a table, it tends to wobble due to the narrow bottom design.
Neck hook and charging cable not included, which may be important for some.
The liquid level can only be checked after removing the pod head, as the pod is tinted and in low light conditions this makes visibility even more difficult.
In summary, it's a well thought out, comfortable to use device that requires a few small compromises. If I've left anything out of the description, I'll leave it to you to discover , as I already felt this test was long enough.
