Freemax Maxpod 3 15W Pod Kit | Reviews by Z-Lee

Freemax Maxpod 3 15W Pod Kit

rET4Wsj.png

Hello folks. Today we'll be taking a look at the Maxpod 3. This is the latest in the Maxpod line following the FreeMaX Maxpod 11W, and Maxpod Circle. I didn't get a chance to test out either of these products, but I did do a review on the Onnix 2 toward the end of 2021 and there are a few similarities between them - the biggest difference being the ease of use favoring the Maxpod 3.

I want to thank @Freemax_Jerry for reaching out to do this review. As always, I will remain as objective as possible while adding some of my own opinions throughout. Please visit FreeMaX's official Maxpod 3 webpage for a quicker breakdown.

Welp, shall we?

FreeMaX has been long known for the longevity and flavor output of their coils. The Cotton Tea Fiber and military grade 904L stainless steel combination has proven to be a great combo throughout all of their coil lines.



- The Pods -

qFlvcfr.jpg

The construction of the pods are simple, but leak proof. Coming from someone that's tested out quite a few pod devices, leaks are the number one culprit for having a bad experience. The Maxpod 3 is Child Resistance Certified and is extremely easy and mess-free to refill. I will get more into the refilling process down below.

Z5tHDQp.jpg

The two available MD-series pods for this device come with 0.8 and 1.2 Ohm coils. The kits I received for this review both came with a single 0.8 Ohm pod. Unlike the FreeMaX Onnix 2, this device does not have a replaceable coil. When the coil goes bad, the whole pod gets tossed.


- The Pod Mod -

AezrsxZ.jpg

The Maxpod 3 uses a double-injection molding using two different plastics. The result is quite nice visually and texturally. For the most part, it's very hard to see fingerprints unless you're looking at the device at a particular angle.

The pod mod features a 480 mAh battery and sports a USB Type-C charging port. There are some things about this portion of the pod mod that bother me, but more on that below.

- Review Testing & Observations -

h9odpF0.jpg

So I've had the Maxpod 3 for a bit over a month now. I had actually misplaced the first device and I cannot find it for the life of me, but thankfully they sent me two. The two colors shown above are Light Blue (left) and Grey (right). These two particular colors are a bit harder to tell apart from one another.

Z8ABVlH.jpg

The exterior design has a wavy agate-like look to it. I believe the same pattern is used for all of the color variants, but the brighter colors are likely to be more pronounced. The outer clear coating is flawless and smooth as a baby's bottom.

In the top picture above, you'll notice a single plastic bulb that functions as your battery indicator and charging/connectivity LED. The LED lights up when you puff and fades out after you stop drawing from the mouthpiece. When the battery no longer has enough power to fire, the light will blink 3 times. Also, when connecting a USB Type-C cable to recharge the battery, the light will come on and stay solidly lit. When the battery is fully recharged, the LED will turn off. When disconnecting the cable, the light will flash 3 times.

In the second and third pictures, you'll notice the two airflow holes lined up opposite of each other. While the draw is somewhat of an MTL, I wouldn't consider it a "true" MTL like you'd experience with a packed cigarette. The natural draw from this device would be more like an unpacked cigarette. You can however plug both holes with your index finger and thumb to create a tighter draw - closer to that of a "true" MTL.


BimUOVr.jpg

On the bottom of the mod is where you're going to find the Type-C charging port. You shouldn't have any issues charging this device while it lays on its side, even with a full pod tank. Just remember not to overfill the pod.

A few things to note about this pod mod that are different than many others that I've reviewed. This USB Type-C port does not register a 3.0 QC cable (cannot be charged using newer android charging cables) when plugged in. When testing the recharge speed, I got 0.5A which is half of what's advertised. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the battery isn't very big and you can charge it in about an hour. I say unfortunately because I'm a huge sucker for larger battery capacities. If that's something you're after, I'd suggest checking out the FreeMaX Onnix 2 which sports a 900 mAh internal battery and can be charged over twice as fast at 1.5A. Also, this device does not allow pass-through vaping. When you're charging the device, you cannot vape with it.

On the top of the pod mod, you'll find the standard spring-loaded brass positive and negative connector pins located near the center, along with the two round silver magnets found near the edge of the plastic base plate. The two holes pointing downward you see are used for the auto-draw function.

One thing to note about leaking if you do encounter it. In the last picture above, you can see where the airflow holes are positioned in relation to the plastic base plate. If you do happen to get leaking from the bottom of the pod tank, the juice is going to flow out of the airflow holes. All you'll need to do is wipe down the pod and the inside of the pod mount along the base plate.



- The Pod -

9ixdmhI.jpg

The pod is very simple which is probably why it hasn't leaked much. On one side of the pod, you'll notice a MIN line denoting the point at which you should refill the pod tank. Consuming more juice at this point can screw up the syphon in the tank leading to either flooding or dry hits - more than likely the latter.

On the opposite side, the pod series and coil resistance is printed very visibly.

The base of the pod is made of ABS plastic and seals the bottom of the tank with 3 flanges that act as O-rings. You can see that they press up firmly against the tank walls to prevent leaking. The anatomy on the bottom of the pod lines up perfectly with the pod mod making it a nice, secure, & snappy fit. The magnets that hold the pod in are adequately strong enough pick the device up by the pod while also making it easy enough to remove the pod when needed.

5xeiU0H.jpg

The mouthpiece is made of polycarbonate plastic and is pliable. When you press the mouth piece forward or backward, it will pop off. It may take a time or two to loosen up when you first purchase it. Once the mouthpiece is removed, you'll have easy access to the refill hole. The refill hole is large enough to fit a 120 mL Gorilla bottle nozzle inside of it. If you can't fit the nozzle inside of the hole, you're likely using the air vent. =P

tuKqDYW.jpg

Once the mouthpiece is placed firmly back onto the pod tank, simply drop the pod into the pod mod (wait 3-4 minutes if the tank is brand new) and you should be good to go.

One big plus about the Maxpod 3 is that you can see the MIN line while the pod is still in the pod mod. No more having to pull the pod out to check if there's any juice left.


- Pod Replacements -

G61kltD.jpg

These are the replacement pods you are looking for. Remember that these come in 0.8 and 1.2 Ohm variants.



- Pros/Cons, & Conclusion -

(+)(+) Pros (+)(+)
  • No leaks (outside of user error)
  • Very compact
  • Looks and feels solid
  • Top fill
  • Pod fits snug, but is easily removed
  • Extremely simple to use
  • Great loose MTL vape
  • Auto-draw
  • Great flavor for a mini-pod device
  • Mouthpiece is very comfy in lips
  • You can see the refill MIN line with the pod in
  • Refilling is super easy and mess free (makes me wonder why coil head tanks haven't done this yet)
  • USB Type-C (0.5A)

(-)(-) Cons (-)(-)
  • No backup pod/coil in the kit
  • Pod can spit back sometimes
  • Auto-draw activation is a bit loose for an MTL device

(-)(+) Preferential Considerations (+)(-)
  • No Pass-through vaping
  • No power options
  • No airflow options
  • 2 mL pod with a 0.8 Ohm coil can drain pretty quickly
  • No fire button
  • Battery is a bit small
  • Not a "true" MTL draw, but can get close with both airflow holes plugged
  • Charging speed is a little slow
  • LED lacks a battery status indicator
  • No charging cable


Between the two devices, I've only had a single incident with leaking and that was likely due to user error. I always try to remind people not to refill the juice all the way to the top of the tank, but I'm also guilty of doing this sometimes. In this case, 2 mL fills up pretty quickly and you can overfill the tank very easily.

There are lots of things to consider based on your preferences, but this device is very user-friendly. If you don't want to deal with coils or power settings, this is a great choice for a device - anything to get you off of the stinkies, right?

I will have to say that this kit is pretty bare bones, however. I've come to expect a second coil/pod in most kits, but I suppose if it keeps the initial price down. The good news is, the replacement pods come in packs of 3 instead of 2 and are comparatively around the same price as pod replacement packages you'll see from other companies that are only offering 2. Also, for life expectancy in a coil, you'll be hard pressed to find a brand that outlasts FreeMaX's coils.

For a loose MTL device, this is a pretty decent choice.



- Overall Rating -
8 - 8.5

(A great, simple vape)
I hope you found all the information you're looking for in this review for the FreeMaX Maxpod 3 and that it helped you in some way. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave a response and/or PM me.

Happy vape hoarding!

FREEMAX MAXPOD 3 - Review by Javichu

Salutations from the depths of hell aka south east coast of Spain.
(current temperature:35 °C°F Precipitation: 0% Humidity: 38% Wind: 16 km/h)

I am melting but i am not one to shy away from my responsibilities so it is time to review another vaping device.

Since i am not a MTL user and because Freemax was kind enough to send me two Maxpod 3 along with 6 extra coils i decided to partner up with a friend of mine who recently got into vaping and quit the stinkies.

Met in a nice terrace by the local swimming pool and we did a dual unpacking poolside ;)

As per my usual Modus Operandi i will start by posting some pics with the general info you might need if you're interested in purchasing this product:

Colors:

COLORS.JPG


Features:

SPECS.JPG


Specs and Dimensions:

DIMENSIONS.JPG


Filling:

FEATURES & FILLING.JPG


Battery:

BATTERY.JPG


Unboxing and first impressions:

It is a nice touch that the box even in an unopened state clearly shows the color of the pod, transparent plastic shows you exactly the color of the device...nice touch.

While enjoying a cold beer poolside me and my newly vaping partner in crime open up the boxes with the Maxpod 3.

Box contents:
1 x Maxpod 3 15W Battery
1 x MD Mesh Pod 0.8ohm
1 x User Manual


Packaging is just ok for a product of this price range,nothing fancy but it is all there...or is it?
No extra pod nor cable to recharge it?
Hmm not good,i mean let me put myself in the place of a new vaper or maybe someone whose device just broke down and needs to vape right away.

My pod was totally depleted,yep it wasn't charged...but my friends was charged.
So no cable and i am left wondering what would happen it the ONLY coil included ends up being a dud.

That right there would be a really bad experience for someone that acquires your product.
Other brands within the same price range do include a charging cable and an extra coil,so even if you have to bump up the price a bit i would include both of those things.

Device itself looks pretty good,they used a double molding process with a combo of 2 different colors,appearance wise its nice.
Judging by its size you would think it had a larger battery than 480mAh but the output is only 9-15W so even with the small battery it should last for a bit.

Vaping time:

I came prepared so i grab my cable from my backpack and leave the device to charge up.
So my friend decided to wait for my device to charge up but meanwhile we might as well load it up with e-liquid and let it sit there.

Refilling was easy enough,it is a top fill so that right there scores some bonus points with me.
Remove the top cap/drip tip thingy and fill it up,pod is clear so you can see the level of your e-liquid.
On the one side you have some letters with the information of the coil you are using and on the other side you have the word ''Min'' with a line,just there to let you know that if it gets under the line it is time for a refill.

Ok both devices charged,coils primed and so far we have had 4 beers which i promise will not affect the quality of my review.

Just an FYI,my friend quit cigarettes when i hooked her up with some disposables i got for a review and since then she has been a proud full card carrying member of the shiny family.
So far she has bought like 7 or 8 pod like devices for MTL use only.

She is not a pro but she does show early symptoms of becoming a true connoisseur when it comes to vaping.

On that note i have to add that i am not an MTL user but i have tested enough products to be able to give my honest opinion.

My friend came prepared,she had 3 other MTL pod like devices placed on the table and all 3 were filled with the same brand/flavor/nic %.
She thought it was fun to review a product with me but even so she wanted to give me an honest and well documented opinion.

Running low on beer so we order our 5th beer,keep in mind it is HOT like Sahara,Witch of the Wizard of OZ melting hot so yeah we just kept sweating all the beer out hehe.

While waiting for our beers to arrive we start taking some puffs,this device is draw activated and there is no way to adjust wattage or airflow.

In my case well i guess it was ok...flavor was there but maybe i have been spoiled by the coils of the Marvos X and the Solo but it just didn't seem to hit the spot.

We kept vaping in silence for about 15 minutes,then we ordered another beer and decided to share our thoughts.

While my friend vaped i did observe her like an Eagle stalks her prey,this was just so i could get a read on what she was feeling and thinking when she vaped.

After taking my first sip of our 6th beer i look up to her and ask her,so....sup?

Her reply was: bien which translated to English and judging by her tone just meant a none festive/hyped/pumped version of ''ok''.

She did switch to her other MTL devices after using the Maxpod 3 for 30 minutes or so,then went back to the Maxpod and her opinion was basically the same.
Device is ok and it does its job but she said that honestly she preferred 2 of her other vaping devices,won't give out the names because that is not cool but that is what she said.

Pros:

-Seems durable
-Aesthetic wise it looks good
-Easy top refill system
-Charge time seems to be pretty good
-Flavor wise its ok

Cons:

-No cable for charging included
-No spare coil,if its a dud you screwed
-Flavor wise its ok,being Freemax i expected out of this body life altering experience when using them but that just didn't happen


Would i recommend this device:

Hard to answer this question,gotta divide it in 2 parts.

1-. New user that is looking to quit smoking and decides on the spur of the moment to buy a vaping device to start right away?
Nope,not really...

2-. Frequent user of these type of devices?
Sure why not,device works ok and the coils don't taste bad,as a whole its just not astoundingly impressive,it does its job thou.

Introducing myself

Hello everyone. I sure am glad to have found this forum. Thanks to everyone that posts here, there is so much great information available. I smoked cigs for 29 years and successfully quit in January 2022. I tried vaping back in 2014 but didn't stick with it. Fortunately I decided to give it another try in Jan this year and haven't had a cig since. I used a sub ohm tank for a couple of weeks then started rebuilding. I started buying all kinds of stuff and it became an instant hobby for me. I've recently started making my own clapton and alien coils and looking to start mixing my own e liquid too. Forums like this one have helped me so much along the way and I really appreciate everyone that posts. Looking forward to being a part of a great group of members here. See you around ✌

Bench Test Results: LG M32 18650

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
This cell is a good performer, a little worse than the LG MJ1 at 5A but a little better at 10A. It performed the same to a tiny bit better than the Panasonic NCR18650GA.

I couldn’t find a datasheet but it seems to be rated about 10A. Vapcell mentioned in a post that this might be the LG MJ1 replacement. I cannot confirm this though.

Without a datasheet to tell me their max temperature specification I recommend staying under 7A continuous and 10A if you do not let them get hotter than 60°C. Like all of the over-3000mAh 18650’s it performs best at about 1/2 its current rating or lower.

The two cells I have tested out at 3069mAh and 3090mAh. I cannot have the lowest capacity cells in the batch so I will be rating them at 3000mAh.

I have not tested their cycle life. Check my 18650 Ratings and E-Scores table (link below) to see how well this cell performed against others.

AVMA Calls For Investigation Of Marketing Denial Orders

"The American Vapor Manufacturers Association (AVMA) has asked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Inspector General to investigate whether the Food and Drug Administration’s marketing denial orders for vaping products are driven by political pressure.

The AVMA says it wants the inspector general to help the public learn about FDA Commissioner Robert Califf’s coordination with elected officials, allied activists and reporters as his agency continues its review of premarket tobacco product applications (PMTA).

In a letter sent to HHS Inspector General Christi A. Grimm, AVMA President Amanda Wheeler contends that interference has corrupted FDA’s statutory obligation to properly implement its PMTA review process based solely on scientific, empirically based judgment.

“Manufacturers are routinely meeting the PMTA requirements to scientifically demonstrate how their products are appropriate for the protection of public health,” Wheeler wrote. “Despite compliance, the agency isn’t approving the vape products sought by adults who want to quit smoking. The Office of Inspector General should open the door and hold the FDA accountable to its standards.”

For Sale Lot of e-liquid flavors

I'm selling my inventory of e-liquid flavors.
Unfortunately I was diagnosed with cancer (unrelated to smoking or vaping). I have a weakened immune system so I quit vaping.

Some flavors are unopened and some are opened. Also included are 3 unused 30ml empty bottles. I provided photos.

It's a waste to trash these liquids so if anyone wants them, all I'm asking is the cost of shipping + $20 via Paypal friend and family. Ships from NYC.

SMOK RPM 5 2000mAh built in battery Leather Series kit review

Ok so today ill be reviewing SMOKs RPM 5 Pod Mod kit Leather Series (2000mAh built in battery)

Mod: Its a simple pod mod that has a range of 5W to 80W and comes with a 40W-80W .15ohm coil pre installed. Its got a simple UI as well. No settings to play around with either. Its the usual 5 hits on the button to turn on/off. Its also got the slider instead of a twist to adjust the airflow. Also it comes with a second .23 ohm 20-25W coil. It also utilizes the RPM 3 coil line up and pod tanks.

First impression: its light, pocketable and doesnt bulge your pocket and is discreet too if you want it to be. I did however expect it to smell like actual leather but its more of a pleather smell (at least to me) either way it feels great in my hand. It also doesnt pop like some mods do when you take a hit which is nice. Its just a smooth draw which is very enjoyable. Oh and the flavor is actually on par with the Freemax Maxus Maxx i own which is a dual external battery pod mod which actually surprised me.

Overall: i dont get the SMOK quality control hate as this one is actually pretty good and pretty well built. I give it a solid 8/10 only because i had hoped for genuine leather but should have not expected it. Also maybe it is real leather i just dont smell it but it does feel like leather. I do enjoy it and the flavors on point which is awesome too. I definitely see myself carrying this around as my "out of the house" kit instead of the MAXPOD i reviewed on Reddit.

Oh fun fact: its $27.19 with code: RPM5K

VAPEFLY LINDWURM RTA REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

Once again I say hello and welcome back for another review, today I will be reviewing the Lindwurm RTA from Vapefly and another collaboration with the German 103 team. The Lindwurm RTA was sent to me from Healthcabin for review. This RTA is a little over 25mm in size and uses a straight glass only that sits inside a decorative and protective cage. Because there no bubble glass it might appear to be tall and it is by a very small margin compared to other 25mm atomizers. Airflow options are the main features with the Lindwurm because there is bottom and side airflow that can be separated or combined and then adjusted to your liking. There's a lot to cover on this RTA and I'll give you my thoughts on it's performance later in my review but first let's find out what the Lindwurm RTA from Vapefly and the German 103 team is all about.

LINDWURM RTA BREAKDOWN

FEATURES

1. Laser engraving & corrosion processing's

2. 25.2mm diameter, 810 drip tip

3. Top filling system, 5ml capacity

4. Precise bottom & side airflow

5. Concealed airflow adjustment

6. Designed with single coil deck

7. Excellent DL vaping experience

8. 6 interchangeable airflow pins as those of Brunhilde MTL RTA




FIRST IMPRESSIONS


The packaging is a basic box in a outer sleeve, lifting the top off reveals the Lindwurm and spare glass tube sitting side by side with the 5 airflow pin screws in a cardboard strip, each pin screw has a different sized diameter starting with the pre-installed 0.9mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.8mm, 2.1mm, and 2.5mm. Also included and packaged in a separate baggie are the spare O-rings, spare grub screws, a tri-tool, allen driver, 510 adapter, 2 coils, 2 pieces of shoelace cotton, a card with tutorials on the different airflow options, warranty card and the user manual all laying underneath the Lindwurm RTA.

At first glance I thought it was rather tall which it is having no bubble glass, but after screwing it on a few mods and comparing the size with other atomizers the difference is not that much. I like the protective outer cage with a single claw scraping in 2 locations, this protective and bold looking cage can be removed and used showing just the glass but the cage is what gives the Lindwurm that bold look, I took the cage off to see how it would look but quickly put it back on as it's appearance without the cage is not a good look.

It's always nice when a atomizer can be disassembled completely down to it's individual pieces so when cleaning you know your atomizer is the most sanitary it can be. I'm happy to report that the Lindwurm RTA can be as well, as I always do I disassembled the Lindwurm down to it's 7 pieces including the 810 drip tip and prepared a hot bath of soapy water for it to have a long soak. A atomizer may look, feel and smell clean but residual oil from the machining process during manufacturing can still be on parts of the atomizer so why take a chance ( JUST CLEAN IT )


20220710_112304.jpg



I don't know if everyone is familiar with the Brunhilde MTL atomizer from Vpefly but it uses the same pin screws for bottom airflow as the Lindwurm does and you could use it as a MTL atomizer but you would be defeating the purpose of the side airflow and the different combinations of airflow that can achieved using all 3 together. The airflow is stealthy as you cannot see any airflow holes on the atomizer itself when assembled but there are side and bottom airflow control markings printed on it. Vapefly included a tutorial card in the kit to help you refine your airflow settings.


20220710_055847.jpg


20220710_060936.jpg



Looking at the build deck you see how the German 103 team designed the side airflow to have 1 single hole that hits the one side of the coil directly in the center of it with the other side having a upward slope consisting of 3 smaller airflow holes that hit the coil at the top portion with the bottom airflow screw in pin hitting the coil from the bottom up completely surrounding the coil with airflow that can be tailored to each users liking. Pre-installed is the 0.9mm that I think is way to small for a RDL or DL vape but can work for MTL but I don't recommend using the Lindwurm RTA as a MTL RTA. I ended up liking the 2.1mm bottom airflow screw the best.


20220710_084542 (1).jpg


20220710_084018.jpg



The Lindwurm uses a series of White dots and White lines to use as reference points for your airflow, the White lines are for the bottom airflow and the White dots are for the side airflow. When the airflow control ring is pulled off 4 separate airflow holes are visible. 2 for the bottom pin and 2 for the side airflow.


20220710_091852.jpg


20220710_091756.jpg



This build deck is pretty easy to build and wick on, the post that you slide your coil legs into has 1 side with just a hole for a opening with the other post hole having the outer portion cut for sliding the coil leg into, start with the first coil leg going into the the post with the hole drilled into it then pull out the other coil leg slightly and slide the leg through the post opening after the post screws are unscrewed then tighten the screws and adjust height and centering of the coil, I like the height to be very close to the pin screw without touching it of course.

For wicking cut the cotton at the end of the build deck and do a slight comb out and place the tails into the wicking slots, you don't want the tails to touch the deck although a few stands wont matter. Because this is a floating deck you can easily trim off any excess cotton from the tail before applying juice on it if it looks too long, you don't want to pack the cotton in the slots, if it feels tight then trim until it fills the slot without a lot of resistance.

On my build I used 1 of the coils provided in the box but used Rayon as my wicking material, Rayon shrinks over time as juice saturates it so as you can see in my build I wicked it a little long knowing in a few days the Rayon would shrink, I could have trimmed the tails a smidgen more but everything worked out and performed great. I tested the Lindwurm RTA sitting on top of the Gaur-18. One thing that I forgot to mention earlier is that the protective cage with the 2 claw scrapes can be rotated a whole bunch so your claw scrape mark will end up wherever you want it to be facing on your mod.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS


First things first I want to give a big thumbs up to Vapefly and the German 103 team on designing the Lindwurm RTA's unique airflow system, really innovative and way to go. Airflow is what makes or breaks any atomizer and the Lindwurm gives you any style you want, there may be a bit of a learning curve to tailor the airflow to your particular liking.

And the bottom airflow pins further open your options in the airflow department, I can safely say that the Lindwurm will satisfy everyone's individual airflow preference. For myself I like the airflow fully open both bottom and side with the 2.1mm pin installed but sometimes liking the 2.5mm pin as well and I'm not a big air guy but I can adjust the flow of air to any setting I prefer at that time then later dial down or up depending on my mood and craving of more air or not. I'm a kind of crazy vaper that likes different airflow at different times of the day.

When talking flavor the Lindwurm is pretty good not the best but pretty darn good giving a well saturated vape and in testing I chain vaped it quite a lot never getting a dry hit. On the noise factor fully open it can be heard quite well with a swirling of air rushing through the atomizer.

Building on the deck is pretty easy and the floating deck makes wicking it a easy process as well. If I was told to describe the Vapefly Lindwurm RTA in one word it would be (OPTIONS)
I would like to thank Sue and Healthcabin for providing the Lindwurm RTA for this review and I hope that I answered all your questions about the Lindwurm RTA by Vapefly.

THANK YOU

Newest Freemax Twister 2 80W Compared With Twister 80W

Freemax Twister 80W was released in 2018, which are well-known by many vapers. However, here comes another Twister vape pen kit - Freemax Twister 2 80W Kit, which is the upgraded version of Twister 80W.

h8aJYng.png


And do you know what is the difference between Freemax Twister 80W and Twister 2 80W Kit?

The new Twister 2 80W Kit consists of Fireluke 4 Tank equipped and Twister 2 80W Tube Mod, while Twister 80W Kit contains Fireluke 2 Tank and Twister 80W Tube Mod.

As for the Fireluke 4 Tank, it adopts industry-leading FM COILTECH5.0/Double-D Mesh coil technology(Parallel Mesh Structure & Tea Fiber Cotton Formula & Military Grade Mesh Structure) for a 50% improvement in the flavors and heating speed. And the Fireluke 2 Sub Ohm Tank applies the FM COILTECH3.0(Diamond mesh with 90% Tea Fiber Cotton and 10% Japanese Organic Cotton Formula).

What’s more, Freemax Fireluke 4 is designed with a top filling system and is ISO 8317 Child Resistant Certified. All you have to do is simply lift and slide the top cap and then fill the tank, super easy and convenient.

But the X Mesh Coils series, TX Mesh Coils series, and 904L X Mesh Coils series can support both Freemax Fireluke 2 and Fireluke 4 Tank.

As for the Twister 2 80W Tube Mod, it is a variable wattage mod powered by a large 3000mAh built-in battery and charged with a 5V/1.5A USB Type-C cable for 2 hours to charge from 1% to 100%. However, Twister 80W Mod utilizes a 2300mAh built-in battery for about 3-4 hours fully charged.

You can adjust the wattage of the Twister 2 mod by a simple twist of the base between 15 and 80 watts like the Twister 80W Mod with the output wattage from 5- 80 watts. But Twister 2 mod is not only the adjustable wattage dial at the bottom, but also can be turned fully anticlockwise to lock the device and prevent accidental operation.

Another difference is that Twister 2 80W Mod is also equipped with FM CHIP 2.0 to provide all-around protection. And most importantly, it has a cool appearance with a 3D embossed effect that will attract a lot of attention and is really textured to touch.
