Vecee Disposables: The V1 and V4!

Vecee Disposables: The V1 and V4!
Hello vaping community! Today, we will be looking at some of the newest disposables to hit the vaping scene from Vecee (thank you, Jhanlos!).
Vecee are a relatively new brand, and they are (per their website) a subsidiary of Yocan which is probably the more familiar name amongst vapers. They have come out with a few ranges of disposables, and we shall be looking at two of these in this review: the V1 and V4.
My review will be from my own experience of using these devices in everyday life as a regular vaper.
Vecee V1
Quick specs:
- 88.5 x 14 x 14 mm. It’s probably the smallest disposable I’ve ever used!
- 400 mAh battery
- Made from plastic (no info on specific type).
- Has a vertical mesh coil (I couldn’t find any information on coil resistance, though).
- 2mL e-liquid volume and claims to have a 600 puff-life.
- 20mg/mL nicotine concentration.
The V1 is done in a classic style of disposable devices. It’s pen-shaped, and not entirely covered in branding or striking graphics, unlike some of other disposables that have recently come out. The outside has a metallic finish. It is very small and very light indeed, making it very pocket-friendly and easy to carry around.
It’s a simple pull and puff type of device without any extra features such as airflow control, rechargeable battery, or refillable pod; it’s as simple as it gets! It comes in a variety of flavours, and Vecee sent me several of them to try:
- Grape
- Cool Mint
- Blueberry Ice
- Peach Ice
- Strawberry Banana
- Pink Lemonade
- Cream Tobacco
- Banana Ice
- Pineapple Ice
- Watermelon Ice
As you can see, the majority of flavours do come with some cooling. Having tried them though, I will say that the cooling is not overwhelming and I could still taste the actual flavour. And speaking of flavours, they do taste nice and spot-on to the flavour profile advertised. The fruit-flavoured ones taste fresh, especially with that touch of cooling. The tobacco is indeed creamy enough to tell that it’s not just ordinary tobacco e-liquid. There are more flavours available in this line and you can find them on Vecee’s website.
One thing I will say is that although this device is silly easy to use, I did notice that in some of the disposable sticks (not all), if I did slow pulls, I can hear the device intermittently engaging, almost as if the auto-draw wasn’t working consistently throughout the whole puff cycle. It doesn’t really affect the quality of the vape and vapour production, but thought this was worth a mention. Something to bear in mind as well is that I was sent sample units- the retails units may not have this issue.
The draw from the V1 is what I would characterise as somewhere between medium to loose MTL. So, if you want a tight draw, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to get that from the V1 disposable especially as it does not have airflow adjustment. The draw temperature is OK (I will always want a warmer draw though) and should be satisfactory to most vapers.
Puff life is always going to be relatively subjective, depending on how one vapes. As for me, I got to perhaps around 400+ puffs before the device ran out of battery. But I do take deep draws and so this is roughly what I expected factoring in 2mL of e-liquid plus the draw warmth the device gives.
Overall, as a smoking cessation device, the V1 is a good option due its simplicity and decent flavours.
Vecee V4
Quick specs:
- 23 x 23 x 120 mm. It’s significantly bigger than the V1!
- 600 mAh battery.
- Made from plastic and a rubber-like coating on the outside.
- Has a vertical mesh coil (resistance unknown).
- 10mL e-liquid volume and claims to have a 3500 puff-life.
- Has a USB-C port at the bottom for recharging.
- 50mg/mL nicotine concentration.
- Has a RGB light around the bottom.
The V4 is chunkier and heavier than its little brother, the V1, and rightly so as it boasts of an increased battery and e-liquid capacity, plus the additional feature of being able to recharge the device.
Still, it’s in a familiar pen-style form factor and the rubberised texture coating the device makes it very comfortable to handle and use. It is also draw-activated, and with the RBG lights that is just for aesthetics, it remains a very simple device to use.
Branding around the device is done plainly which is absolutely fine by me. However, with it not having airflow adjustment, I do feel that Vecee missed a trick a little bit here as that would have taken the V4 to another level. Saying that though, the draw from the V4 is tighter than the V1; it’s in between tight to medium MTL which suits me perfectly and is impressive for a device with mesh coils.
As for the draw, it’s fine but I did wish that it was warmer especially as the device was rechargeable. Given the temperature of draw though, I am tempted to think that the coil resistance must be somewhere around 1.5 ohms based on my experience (Vecee, am I getting “warmer” to the actual value? Pardon the pun! ).
It is available in several flavours, of which I was sent:
- Peachberry Gummy Bear
- Sour Apple Ice
- Pina Colada
- Cool Mint
- Banana Ice
As with the V1, the majority of flavours come with ice and it is noticeable but not overwhelming. It’s just enough to leave you with a fresh feeling after using the device.
Unlike the V1, I did not have any auto-draw issues or observations with the V4. It worked like a charm every time!
The RGB lights are a nice feature – they’re pretty to look at - but I do wonder how appealing it will be in the long run, since I know some people that use disposables for “stealth vaping”. Obviously, blinking lights are not exactly stealthy…
About the puff life, the device is lasting me a decent amount of time. At the time of this review and after having used one flavour consistently for 2 weeks, I still haven’t run down all the e-liquid in the device. That is also good news in terms of the coil inside, as this means it can seemingly handle all the e-liquid without burning prematurely. Remember that with disposables, a device is ready to be disposed of (responsibly!) when the battery or e-liquid runs out, or when the taste changes which signals the coil nearing the end of its life.
As for recharging, the charge time is relatively decent, taking over an hour to charge from low battery in my testing.
Final Thoughts:
The V1 and V4 disposables from Vecee were a joy to use. I can see their place in the market as someone’s very first smoking cessation tool via vaping, owing to their simplicity of use and design. The flavours are spot-on which make them enjoyable to vape.
As a last note from me: please, please, please dispose of vaping devices responsibly! If not possible to do so on your own, do check with your local vape shop as I am sure they will be happy to advise you on it or even recycle them for you. Most vapers are ex-smokers, and the majority of us continue to advocate for vaping as a way to quit smoking for good. Used disposable vapes littering our streets does not help the image of vaping at all, and that in turn endangers the availability of vaping for more smokers. More litter = bad image/public perception = stricter regulations = limited availability or at worst, vape bans! So let us all vape responsibly.
My sincerest thanks again to Vecee for allowing me to review these products!

► Aspire Flexus Blok; Available colours:
• Snow Mint
• Gunmetal
• Pearl
• Fuchsia
• Miami Pink
• Black
► Aspire Flexus Blok; First Impressions:
Flexus Blok is the latest version of Aspire's Flexus kit series. Flexus Blok uses an elegant and different design that takes advantage of the convenience of a small palm kit. As with all Aspire products, build quality is excellent with the use of a durable zinc alloy and PCTG plastic construction for the cartridge. Flexus Blok is easy to use and is aimed at both new vapers and seasoned vapers looking for a lightweight, super portable pod kit just like the other interesting Kit I recently tested (Aspire Vilter S & Vilter-PB (Powerbank).
► Aspire sent me for this Test Flexus Blok in the color version "Snow Mint". The device in the side view shows how the metal part and the plastic part are divided exactly in half. The metal part is smooth to the touch and has an IML decoration with different streaks and shades of color, on one side the writing "Flexus Blok" and on the other side "Aspire", the writings are both white, unobtrusive and slightly accentuated. At the top on one side and always on the metal part there is the Led for notifications. The black plastic part is composed at the top by the smooth PCTG cartridge, and at the bottom by a rough texture texture to improve the grip with the fingers.
► Aspire Flexus Blok in the metal front side, shows a central groove where both the round plastic Fire button and the USB-C 1A charging socket are located. The key is well positioned, easily identifiable by the fingers because it is slightly protruding. I enjoyed being able to charge the device in an upright position without having to lay it down. The rear side in the upper part is made up of the cartridge that shows a sliding button for refilling e-liquid without having to extract the cartridge, this detail is really convenient. The smooth underside takes up the beveled profile on the sides of the cartridge above.
► In the upper part of Flexus Blok there is the AFC control conveniently located to be adjusted and as we have seen the cartridge can be filled sideways with e-liquid without being extracted from the Mod. The cartridge extraction / insertion system uses two tracks obtained in the Mod, the cartridge is also held on the mod by 4 circular magnets. In the center on the bottom of the compartment / pod are the gold-plated contact pins and the sensor for activating the automatic puff.
► Aspire Flexus Blok; Cartridge:
The 510-type Drip Tip can be replaced, and the airflow can be fine-tuned to provide MTL or RDL inspiration to suit your preferred vaping style. Flexus Blok pods are made of PCTG plastic and can be refilled multiple times. The pods hold up to 3ml of e-liquid and are easy to refill even with bottles that have wide and short tips. Despite the dark color of the cartridge, the internal liquid remains quite visible. The AF Coils are inserted from the bottom into the cartridge by pressing lightly.
► Aspire Flexus Blok; AF Mesh Coils:
The kit is compatible with the full range of Aspire AF Coils and comes with two different Mesh options, both with great flavor:
• AF Mesh Coil 0.6Ω (15W-18W) Kanthal AF - RDL vaping:
Definitely excellent for my way of vaping, this coil with the selected medium power level and with wide open AFC satisfies me completely because it has a strong delivery, rich in flavor and is able to produce dense clouds of vapor. Every so often to fill my need for hot steam and Hit I close the AFC finding my weak point very easily.
• AF Mesh Coil 1.0Ω (12W-15W) Kanthal AF - MTL vaping:
This resistance is suitable for those looking for a fairly narrow type of Puff MTL and with tobacco or creamy liquids it expresses itself quite well in terms of aroma. The adjustment of the AFC for MTL is perfect up to guaranteeing maximum closure without any passage of air.
There are no spitting phenomena and the formation of condensation of both coils between the pod and the contacts of the mod is almost non-existent, just dry any e-liquid residues at the end of the day. The automatic Puff also works well with large AFC openings. Personally, I always use the Fire button which always gives immediate reaction.
► Aspire Flexus Blok; Operation Guide:
• With 5 clicks on the button we turn on / off the Mod
• With 3 clicks on the button it is possible to change the power modes in 3 levels:
• Red = Low
• Blue = Medium
• Green = high
• Lock / unlock after 7 seconds of continuous pressure on the fire button, delivery stops, the automatic puff is not limited.
• Charge level:
• Red Led, Low 3.5V 0-30%
• Blue Led, Medium 3.5-3.8V 30-60%
• Green Led, High 3.8-4.2V 60-100%
* When charging is complete, the LED flashes green 20 times.
► There are many security features built into this device for maximum peace of mind and thanks to the Aspire ASP chipset:
• 7s cut-off protection
• Over discharge protection
• Overload protection
• Short circuit protection
• Overheating protection
• Low voltage protection
► Aspire Flexus Blok; Final conclusions:
Flexus Blok by Aspire is an extremely simple to use refillable pod kit, with an elegant handheld design, equipped with a 1200mAh battery that guarantees a very good autonomy, ideal for those who with 6ml of e-liquid can cover a whole day without having to recharge battery.
Pro:
• Design

Confused Again

I have the following flavors:
Cured Tobacco
Desert Ship Blend
Black Honey
Black Fire
Cowboy Blend
RY4 Double
All 30ml bottles. Now because my time is so limited, I usually just pour the whole bottle into the mix and go from there. But this time I would like to do it right (if I can). I know everyone likes their smoke to be one way or another way. What is the standard (just starting off) should I use in my mix? 15% (30ml)? 10% (20ml)? or what? I usually just use the same pg/vg for all of them.
Below is a picture of what my ejuice me up calculator has.

Bench Test Results: Molicel P26A (2021-dated) - 35A 2600mAh 18650
- By Mooch
- Batteries and Chargers
- 2 Replies
These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. They should never be used outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous discharge rating (CDR), never let it get colder than 0°C or hotter than 60°C, and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition. Never use a battery that is physically damaged in any way.
Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.
If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.
Test Results
It has been three years since I tested the Molicel P26A. With the 2021-dated cells being available I wanted to see if any changes in their performance has occurred over that time.
All genuine 2021-dated P26A’s should have an “L” as the second character in the date code on the wrap. If it has a “K” that is a cell manufacturered in 2020, “J” = 2019, “I” = 2018, etc.
I’m happy to report that the 2021-dated Molicel P26A’s are still one of the best all-around 18650’s you can buy, a great choice for almost any use from 5A-25A.
The 2021 cells ran the same or a touch better than the 2018 cells I tested three years ago. The 2021 cells ran at a slightly higher voltage at the start due to, I believe, the slightly lower DC internal resistance I measured (causing less voltage sag).
This cell has 35A “maximum discharging current” rating in the datasheet with an 80°C limit. This means Molicel says you can use the cell at up to 35A if you do not let it get hotter than 80°C (very hot).
This is not a true continuous current rating you can use to compare against other cells. The P26A will get almost hot enough to boil water if run continuously at 35A down to its 2.5V cutoff. In my opinion Molicel rated this cell for its intended use in power tools and other applications where the cells are used only for short periods of time at high current levels.
So while you can run this cell for short periods at 35A I recommend staying at 25A or lower to help improve performance (reduce voltage sag), extend cell life, and reduce risk.
The two cells I tested delivered 2654mAh and 2667mAh, exceeding Molicel’s 2600mAh typical capacity rating. This is great consistency.
Two cells were purchased for testing by me from 18650BatteryStore (18650 Battery Store - Lithium Ion Batteries, Chargers and Accessories).

I’m happy to report that the 2021-dated Molicel P26A’s are still one of the best all-around 18650’s you can buy, a great choice for almost any use from 5A-25A.
The 2021 cells ran the same or a touch better than the 2018 cells I tested three years ago. The 2021 cells ran at a slightly higher voltage at the start due to, I believe, the slightly lower DC internal resistance I measured (causing less voltage sag).
This cell has 35A “maximum discharging current” rating in the datasheet with an 80°C limit. This means Molicel says you can use the cell at up to 35A if you do not let it get hotter than 80°C (very hot).
This is not a true continuous current rating you can use to compare against other cells. The P26A will get almost hot enough to boil water if run continuously at 35A down to its 2.5V cutoff. In my opinion Molicel rated this cell for its intended use in power tools and other applications where the cells are used only for short periods of time at high current levels.
So while you can run this cell for short periods at 35A I recommend staying at 25A or lower to help improve performance (reduce voltage sag), extend cell life, and reduce risk.
The two cells I tested delivered 2654mAh and 2667mAh, exceeding Molicel’s 2600mAh typical capacity rating. This is great consistency.
Two cells were purchased for testing by me from 18650BatteryStore (18650 Battery Store - Lithium Ion Batteries, Chargers and Accessories).

- By hittman
- Device Reviews
- 14 Replies
Today I’m pleased to have the opportunity to present my review on the Freemax Maxus Solo 100W kit that was sent to me by Freemax in order to provide a fair and honest review. The Maxus Solo mod can use 18650/20700/21700 batteries to provide an output range of 5-100 watts while providing .7 - 7.5V. The onboard charging is 5v/2A using a USB-C charging cable. It features the FMOS 3.0 and FM Chip 3.0. It has a 1.06” OLED display screen and has Novel mood lighting with different options that I will talk more about later. The tank included in the kit is the Fireluke Solo with an 810 drip tip and a child safe fill cap. It adopts the FM COILTECH 5.0 which is a new mesh technology. It has a capacity of 5ml. Well, before I give too much information, let’s see the package contents and take a look at the features via the promotional images then I’ll give my opinions on it.

Resistance Range: 0.1-3ohm
Battery: External Single 18650/20700/21700
Charger Specification: 5V/2A
Size: 28.8*42.8*90mm
Brand: Freemax
Unit: 1 Set
Package: Gift Box
INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Solo is nice and colorful to grab your attention with the different colored lines simulating laser lights on the front. There is a sketch of the device, a sticker indicating the color of the device inside, of course the name of the product and a list of some features on the right side of the face. The back of the outer sleeve has a list of contents, specifications on the mod and tank, an authenticity code, and a nice little color picture of the device.
Once the outer sleeve and box top are removed, the face of the mod, the Fireluke Solo tank, and spare glass are exposed with a package of o rings inside the glass. Underneath is a box containing the 18650 battery adapter, USB-C charging cable, warranty card, user manual, and spare coil. I think it’s really nice how the front is clear and the electronics can be seen through the face of the mod.
The top of the mod has four torx screws that hold the top in place. This is a little different from what I’ve become used to seeing where there is a metal 510 plate that is held in with screws. Instead on this one the 510 connection must be secured inside the mod. That’s my guess at least. I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. The 510 center pin is spring loaded and gold plated. Perhaps the ring around the 510 opening is threaded and threads onto the lower portion of the 510 connector. I’m probably not going to try to take it apart to see.
The battery is inserted through the bottom by pushing the door open sideways in the direction of the arrow molded into the base. The inside of the battery opening has a large red + sign and you can’t really see it in my picture but there is a – sign on the bottom side of the door which is visible after opening it.
On the right side of the mod is the lock/unlock slide switch which allows the user to quickly lock the device before putting it in a pocket. There are four diagonal grooves molded into the side of the mod that I think have no other purpose besides aesthetics.
The left side has the Freemax name on it along with the same four grooves as the right side had. From either picture you can see the dark cover over the back. This is where the magic happens. If you so choose, you can have LEDs that will illuminate a really cool pattern on the back of the mod as well as light up the front where the electronics can be seen. I’ll get into the options of the LED lights when I talk about the menu system. The back does have the words Maxus Solo on the back of the mod.
The front of the Solo has a fairly large fire button near the top. I personally have experienced some awkwardness pressing the fire button. I don’t know if it has to do with the fact that I don’t have large hands and the mod is a little bit deeper than I’m used to or what. I would like it better if the fire button stood out further away from the body of the mod. I did finally figure out the when thumb firing that if I used the side of my thumb that it was easier to fire for me.
Below the fire button is the large display screen. In my picture the LED lights are turned on but you can turn them off if you like. I just thought it would make for a good picture. The information on the display is as follows.
- Battery level indicator and coil resistance
- Puff counter
- Set wattage or temperature depending on output mode selected
- Mode of operation
- Normal, Sport, Eco output
- Voltage output while firing
- Settings(once selected it takes you into the menu system)
Below the display screen are the + and – buttons followed by the USB-C charging port which offers a standard charging rate of 5v/2A.
The button operation on the Solo is fairly simple but there are a lot of available settings. You can choose to use them all or not. They are as follows.
- Press the fire button 5X to turn the mod on/off
- Press the + and – buttons to lock the wattage adjustment
- Press the fire button 3X to highlight the mode of operation. From there you can either change the mode by pressing the fire button again and then use the + and – buttons to choose between Power(Normal, Sport, Eco), TC(316SS, Ni, Ti, TCR(TCR1,2,3)
- Press the fire button 3X to highlight the mode of operation but instead of changing the mode as described above, use the + and – buttons to scroll through to select either Normal, Sport, or Eco. Once that is set if you choose, scroll to settings and press the fire button then this will bring you to the main menu which will give you the following options
1. Coil Test
2. Timeout
3. Theme color
4. LED on/off
5. LED control
6. F/C
7. Puff reset
8. Time reset
9. Reset(factory defaults)
10. Exit
There is a lot you can do with this mod if you choose to. It’s nice to have the options. You may or may not use them all. Now let’s take a look at the Fireluke Solo Tank that was included with the kit along with the two coils.
First off, I always clean any tank that I receive before using it. I saw a post today where someone got a new tank and was getting that old familiar machine oil taste. A drop of dish soap and some hot water can make a big difference. Even if you’re mixing your own liquid, who wants to waste a whole tank of liquid because you didn’t clean the tank? Also, it can leave that taste in the coil so you’ve probably wasted a coil also.
The drip tip included with the Fireluke Solo tank is an 810 tip and comfortable to use in my opinion. To fill the tank it’s a little different than what you might be used to. Instead of a screw off top cap, you lift and slide the top cap sideways to expose the fill port. There is a gasket but it doesn’t seal the tank from leaking if you tip it while filling. I honestly am glad. I really don’t care for the completely sealed gaskets over the fill ports.
The tank comes with the bubble glass installed and comes with a spare. The base of the tank has a single gold plated contact in the center to make connection with the coils which are just a push in style. The base also has two large horizontal airflow slots and there is a positive stop.
The Solo kit comes with two different coils. One is the FL2 .2ohm mesh coil rated at 50-80 watts and the other is the new FL1-D mesh coil at .15 ohms and rated 50-80 watts. It uses the new CoilTech 5.0 technology and is being called the Double-D Mesh coil. If it’s Double-D then it’s got to be good right? It boasts fast and even heating while maximizing the surface area to provide exceptional flavor. It has a parallel mesh structure and uses an upgrade tea fiber cotton. The coil is made of SS904L so you can use it in temperature control if you so choose.
I didn’t try the .15 coil in temperature control but it did perform very well using it with a DIY mix that I use quite often for reviews. I ended up running it at 70 watts although 80 watts is the supposed best setting. I have come to expect exceptional flavor production from Freemax coils after previous experience testing them on different kits. I was not disappointed. The flavor production was very good while the amount of vapor was large.
The .2 ohm coil was very good also and felt like I got just as good of flavor production from this one as I did with the .15 ohm DD coil. I did however run this one at 60 watts instead of 70 like the other coil. Freemax really has this flavor production thing down. I can’t remember ever trying any of their coils that didn’t provide exceptional flavor. At least not since I started doing reviews for them. I really don’t know that I tried any prior to that.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
It has been a real pleasure testing the the Freemax Maxus Solo 100W Kit. The kit is packed with features. Among them are the new Coiltech 5.0 Double –D Mesh technology that provides very good flavor production. It might not be a feature that everyon will like but the mod does provide Novel Mood lighting where you can choose from 9 default color choices or change the RGB values to make DIY colors. The tank is ISO 8317 Child Resistant Certified where you have to lift and slide the top cap in order to fill the tank. It worked very well and was not difficult to open the top cap. Yet another feature is the 1.06” OLED display screen that offers five different themes as well as random color options available to change the UI color. The display is bright and vibrant and I found it easy to read.
I have to admit that I really don’t have anything negative to say about this kit. The only thing that I experienced that seemed off was at first I found the fire button to be a little awkward but feel that was attributed to having small hands and the mod being a little wide. After some use I found it comfortable to fire with the side of my thumb due to my hand placement while holding the mod. I did not like firing with my index finger at all.
I’d like to thank Freemax for sending the Maxus Solo 100W kit for this review. As usual, it has been a pleasure testing another Freemax product. Also thanks to you the readers that always make to the end of my reviews. Below is a link to the website so you can take a look for yourself.

- 4 Replies
For sale is a Bishop Cubed boro tank. Used, but in very good shape. Includes all original accessories (air flow pins, spare o-rings, blind pin, spare gasket) and original product box. Comes with two clear tanks (these came with the RTA. One has been used; the other has not been used) and a yellow tank (this was purchased separately and has not been used).
IMPORTANT: This will NOT fit into some boro mods. Ambition Mods is coming out (or perhaps has already come out) with a replacement 510 pin that has a lower profile. This does NOT include that pin. Mods I’ve tried it with:
Does NOT fit into:
1. Pulse AIO - will NOT fit even with the contact screwed all the way down. Tried it on two different ones.
2. SXK DNA-60 BB – will NOT fit. Tried it on two mods (both were 2022 batches)
DOES fit into:
1. Billet Box – will fit in a 2022 BB but it’s very tight. Pic below of it in a Dober BB
2. Cthulhu AIO – fits comfortably (pic below)
3. Ambition Mods/Sunbox V2 – fits comfortably, but sometimes it will not make connection if the raised 510 nut is used. Works reliably with a flush nut. (pic below)
Price is $45 including First Class shipping with tracking. Insurance is optional – available at cost.
Payment by PayPal F&F. Please no notes, mention of vaping, etc.

- Device Reviews
- 4 Replies
Hi, today let's take a look at two new Aspire items, one is a Pod Mod kit and the other is a Powerbank dedicated to it, they are both available for purchase separately. This is Aspire Vilter S & Vilter-PB (Power Bank).
In this Test I will examine each of the characteristics that distinguish them. I hope that by the end of this reading you have understood these products, and therefore decide whether to invest in them or not. As always, my reviews are free and based on my personal experience.
• Enjoy the reading.
► Aspire Vilter S Pod Mod; Before starting let's see together some special features indicated by the manufacturer:
• The Vilter S Pod Mod brings with it some new features that make it better than the previous version. The built-in battery is 500mah and guarantees a longer life. On the side there is a practical display that allows you to always keep the battery and the number of Puffs under control.
Thanks to a new button, inserted on the side of the VILTER S, it is possible to decide whether to use the automatic shooting or to limit it to pressing the button itself.
Thanks to the new Powerbank (sold separately) you can recharge your Vilter S even on the move and never run out of energy.
• The Vilter Powerbank is compatible with the original Vilter and with the new Vilter S. It has a Type C connection for fast charging, a full charge of your Vilter lasts only 40 minutes, a led allows you to check the battery charge status.
The powerbank is charged via a USB C cable and takes 50 minutes for a full charge.
The front of the Vilter PB Powerbank is protected by a leather sleeve which makes the product even more elegant.
The solution we have all been waiting for is finally a reality.
► Aspire Upgrade Brand, Upgrade Experience:
Between the end of April and the beginning of May, Aspire is planning several releases of new devices of great strategic importance for the brand. The Shenzhen giant invests heavily in research and development. So she has committed to cooperate with different design companies to make new product design even more fashionable. Aspire is also very attentive to the marketing side and to all aspects concerning it ... Therefore, in conjunction with the arrival on the market of Vilter-S, Aspire is proud to announce the renewal of the Company look through a new Logo.
"Our professional profile has grown and evolved over the past 13 years and now is the time for a change. We have changed our logo to reflect who we are today and to symbolize our dynamic future."
"Our creative team constructs the initial letter" a "of the brand based on the pictographic concept and transforms it into a clever combination of digital symbols of" 0 "and" 1 ". This" 0 to 1 "creativity implies that the Our brand takes critical steps in the global e-cigarette industry through breakthroughs and innovations from an initial concept leading to the market, through color combination, design beauty and creativity of symbols. Our new logo represents the relationship between the two. entity: technology and Aspire. This must represent the very idea that Aspire is the bridge that connects human beings to innovative technology. "
After these nice words, I felt compelled to dedicate some space to this new rebrand for a sincere wish to Aspire to continue riding the wave of success and to always bring serious innovation, the brand is of absolute prestige. and I like the new Logo, I am convinced that this detail will soon become "familiar" to all of us.

For this test I received the black version with an elegant oxidation polishing process performed on the aluminum alloy body and which goes well with the dark colored PCTG cartridge. Regarding the tactile Feeling of Vilter S, what was previously said with Vilter Original can be absolutely confirmed. Holding the flat profile of Aspire's Vilter S between your fingers is like handling a feather! Its highly ergonomic design satisfies me a lot, there is not much to add to the great handling of this ultra portable system.
The admirers of the brand who have been able to appreciate the original Vilter will certainly appreciate the entry on the market of the Vilter S which, like the progenitor, maintains the same compact dimensions, automatic shooting and sturdy aluminum alloy construction. Furthermore Vilter S shares with the original Vilter the same cartridge that can accommodate paper filters to give the effect of holding a real cigarette in the mouth, however the Kit includes a 510 drip-tip with double o-ring that will surely offer an experience of the most classic vape. So where is the news? The changes compared to the original Vilter are very important; Vilter S now has a more powerful battery (500mAh) and a small, very bright and easily readable display that replaces the previous LED indications. So now with the display it is possible to always keep under control the battery charge level, the Puff counter, the mode in use and the duration of the last Puff. Furthermore, with the presence of the Fire key and with 5 clicks we can turn on / off Vilter, or change the extraction mode in use with 3 clicks, choosing between; automatic activation (A), manual activation (B), manual activation + automatic activation (AB).
The extremely clean and simple design of this device is further embellished by the display, by the new Aspire "OI" logo and by the new "Vilter S" writing, both in white. On both flattened sides there is a micro hole for the passage of air towards the coil, therefore a fixed and non-adjustable system but highly effective for the MTL vape (as in the original Vilter). On one of the two flattened sides there is the Fire Button with a slight protrusion useful for its tactile identification. On the other side is the 1A USB-C charging socket to fully charge the mod in 40 minutes
On the bottom of the compartment / pod there are the automatic puff activation sensor and two gold / plated contact pins. The two circular-shaped magnets firmly hold the cartridge to the Mod.
On the bottom of the Mod we can read; the place of origin, the disposal logo and the C E brand. The incredible thing is that I can recharge the very light Vilter-S (with the cable connected to the PC) standing up and without having to lay it down.
► Aspire Vilter S Pod Mod Kit; Refillable cartridge:
The Pod system made of PCTG contains 2ml of e-liquid, the disposable cartridge incorporates a non-replaceable 1.0Ω Mesh-coil with a range of use from 10 to 15W managed automatically by the battery.
The 510 drip-tip in Pet with its two orings is quite firm once inserted in its housing, the same thing can be said for the paper filter supplied in the kit.
Refilling is done from below, filling the cartridge couldn't be easier. Just remove the pod from the device, open the bottom seal and inject your favorite liquid using a thin tip dispenser!
The magnets on the bottom of the cartridge are mirrored to those on the bottom of the compartment / pod and ensure a strong magnetic connection.
► Aspire Vilter-PB (Power Bank); Packaging:
On the front of the white package we find; the new "OI" logo by Aspire, an adhesive label with the color of this sample, a double image of Vilter PB and the silver writing "Vilter-PB You Daily Vape Partner".
On the back there are; general notices, content, address of Shenzhen Eigate Technology Co., Ltd. Logos and trademarks of the law.
On the remaining sides of the box we find; Batch number, hologram, scratch & Check, a complete image of Vilter-PB and some icons containing the main features of the product.

► Vilter-PB (Power Bank); First impressions:
Aspire's Vilter Powerbank is brilliant in many ways! The Powerbank is built in durable aluminum alloy + magnetic sleeve covered in leather and is compatible with the Vilter and the new Vilter S. It has a Type C connection to house and recharge Vilter and Vilter S inside.
Vilter Powerbank with its valuable magnetic sleeve perfectly encloses Vilter Pod and with this configuration it assumes a true Box Mod appearance. So we get a beautiful and light Pod that turns into Mod to provide the user with a great reserve of energy!
The direct charging of the Powerbank takes place via a USB-C / 2A cable and takes about 50 minutes, it is also possible to recharge the powerbank and Vilter pod simultaneously. In the upper part a circular button with LED (it looks like the Fire button of a Mod) interfaces with the chip and allows you to view the charge level of PB and Vilter Pod according to the color of the LED. With three clicks we can activate or deactivate the powerbank mode (green ON), (Red OFF). While charging the powerbank, the LED flashes red when the charge is between 0 and 30%, flashes blue between 30 and 50%, flashes white between 70 and 100% and turns green when charging is complete, flashing 5 times. By inserting the device into the power bank, the LED flashes red / blue / green / white for 10 seconds and according to the charge level of the device. When the device is fully charged and is extracted from the powerbank, the LED flashes red / blue / green / white and according to the charge level of the powerbank.
Naturally the powerbank has the AS chipset with all the necessary safety protections which are signaled by the LED integrated in the button with different combinations of flashes and colors.
Vilter S & Vilter-PB (Powerbank); Final conclusions:
The Vilter S device with the increased battery capacity (500mAh), with its useful and informative display, with the three activation modes (Fire) obtainable, with the rechargeable cartridge and with its paper filters (ecig feeling) could alone really satisfy most vaper's. But the accessory that makes this kit unique and perfect is precisely the powerbank with AS chipset, because in addition to being very useful for its large energy reserve (1,600 + 500mAh), it exploits an ingenious design with high quality finishes. As for the Vaping test, I really appreciate the possibility of excluding / including the automatic puff. For the MTL aromatic yield of Vilter-S, I would say that in its category the device defends itself very well. The capsule and coil are the same as original Vilter here: Aspire Vilter new Cig Feeling Review
Ultimately I promote both kits, both Vilter-S and Vilter-PB and I advise you not to miss this new winning pairing from Aspire.

Bought this disposable at a local gas station and i cannot tell what brand it is
It seems like it's a rechargeable "mod" with an option to buy more "pods"
If i can only know where to get more
Any help would be great
(Gas station does not sell more of said "pods")
