Innokin Innobar 7000
Constant Performance, Incredible Flavors
Hello fellow vapers! Today we'll be taking a look at one of Innokin's newest disposable releases, the Innobar 7000. This disposable isn't as environmentally friendly as some of the previous Innokin disposables I've reviewed such as the Acquios Bar, but I realize that isn't something everyone prioritizes. What we do find in the Innobar 7000 is the same solid construction and product delivery we see in pretty much all of Innokin's products, and that is what sets this device apart from most of the other disposables I've tried and/or reviewed. In this review, we'll go over a number of specs and how well the Innobar 7000 performs overall.
First off, as always, I want to thank @Innokin_timmy for reaching out to review this product. I have a great working relationship with Innokin, but that never deters me from leaving a fair and honest review.
We'll start by taking a look at a compiled version of Innokin's Innobar 7000 page which I encourage you to visit here, and will be ending the review with my own thoughts and observations. Photos can be clicked on for easier viewing. Alright, let's take a looksie!

- TEST RESULTS & OBSERVATIONS -
Intro:
Each box has a picture of what you can expect inside. From the picture above, you can tell it's portrayed very accurately. I like that the boxes list pretty much all of the attributes you'll be getting from each disposable including the nicotine concentration. I did however notice that this information is missing from the disposable itself. I think it should list somewhere (maybe the bottom) the nicotine concentration and the coil metal used, for those who may be allergic to certain metals, alloys, or sensitive to nicotine. Innokin in the past has made several products that are 2% nic concentration for TPD regulations instead of 5%, and there's no way to discern the difference once the box is thrown away.
Each Innobar comes vacuum sealed with rubber plugs in the mouthpiece and a sticker covering the Type-C port and airflow hole. I have yet to see any other disposable company do this, and I think it's a very good practice to prevent potential air movement from activating the auto-draw sensor while also preventing leakage.
A Closer Look:
The design of the Innobar is very simplistic which was the intent. The front of it shows the flavor and puffs while the back has a very small INNOKIN logo positioned along the edge. The side view photos gives you a good look at the silicone that's used to line the entire silhouette of the body, as well as a closer look at how skinny the mouthpiece tapers down for lip sealing and comfort. In an MTL device, this is important so that it isn't tedious to seal off the mouthpiece to get the proper suction needed for MTL.
The build quality of the Innobar 7000 is very solid. The front and back panel along with the mouthpiece are made of plastic and have a soft feel to them. I'm not sure what kind of plastic it is, but it's not a hard one.
The bottom is where you'll find the airflow inlet, the airflow control switch, a blue LED, and the USB Type-C charging port. Please ignore my crude picture of the LED, I couldn't get it to stay on long enough to get a good picture, lol.
The airflow control switch varies the draw slightly. I would categorize the airflow as a loose MTL when closed, and a very loose MTL or very tight RDL when opened. If you're confused which hole is the airflow inlet, just look for the indented oval that surrounds both the switch and the airflow hole. This hole can also be feathered using your finger if you want an even tighter draw. If you're used to your fingers being on the bottom of your device when you puff, but aware where your finger sits as this can drastically change the airflow. If you happen to plug the hole by accident here and there, nothing detrimental will happen. I would however advise against continually plugging the airflow inlet as air is needed to cool the coil off, and this can cause juice to bake onto the coil over an extended amount of time causing premature burning of the wick.
The advertised charging rate is 350 mA which is 0.35A, but I only clocked the device at 0.1A. The charger I have only shows the amps to the tenth decimal, so it's very possible and likely that the charge is actually a 0.18 or 0.19A charge, but even then it's still a bit low. The Innobar 7000 took a tad over 2 hours to fully charge from completely dead, and this device does not support pass-through vaping. My suggestion would be to try and keep it topped off, even though I'm quite positive that the average vaper wouldn't be able to kill the battery in one day. No, that is not a challenge, lol.
- CONCLUSION -
I've spent a good while (nearly a month!) trying to suck down each of these disposables to get a good idea of how many puffs they each have. Each Innobar 7000 advertises up to 7000 puffs, but I'm going to say that number errs on the conservative side. I've yet to completely finish one off, and they've been my daily driver to and from work which is an hour and a half drive, one-way.
The 650 mAh battery seems to last forever. I've easily gone 4-5 days on a single charge, but I'm also not a super heavy vaper when it comes to high concentration nic devices. As I'd mentioned above, the recharge is fairly slow so if you are a heavy vaper, just try and keep the battery topped off and you shouldn't have any concerns whatsoever.
As far as flavor profiles are concerned, I received the Kiwi Passionfruit Guava, and the Strawberry Kiwi. I admit with honesty that I have no idea what passionfruit or guava is supposed to taste like as solo flavors. I would just call it tropical, and I think it's quite tasty. As far as the Strawberry Kiwi goes, I can certainly taste the strawberry and the kiwi together, and it's a very delightful blend. The mint is most predominant on the inhale, with a cool flavor-filled exhale. There are some other flavors that I would have loved to have tried, such as the Tropical Gummy, but I'll have to let you be the judge on those.
++ PROS ++
> Very pocket-friendly
> Great hand-feel
> Solid/durable build
> Mouthpiece tapers and seals well in the lips
> Airflow control (loose MTL to very tight RDL)
> USB Type-C
> Very long-lasting battery (650 mAh seems a bit shy of actual)
> 7000 Puffs seems like an understatement
> Flavor profiles are yummy
> Mint isn't overpowering
- - CONS - -
> Would like to see coil metal and nic concentration posted on the device, somewhere
> It's a disposable? XD
+- CONSIDERATIONS -+
> Not as environmentally friendly as Innokin's past disposables
> No pass-through vaping
> Recharge rate is a bit lackluster (0.1 - 0.2A), but is easily offset with a very long-lasting battery
Overall Rating:
9.5
(compared to other disposables)
I tried to keep this short and sweet. I think I partially accomplished that, lol. I appreciate you for taking the time to read the review, and I hope that it helped you with whatever information you were looking for. If you're interested in finding out more about the Innokin Innobar 7000, you can the link to Innokin's site, here. Also, check out Innokin's "Stoptober" page in their efforts to stop smokers from smoking. There's a survey for a chance to win a free Klypse kit, which I'd highly recommend you try out. I hope to see you in the next review, thanks!
Happy vape hoarding!
