Hi there.. I am a bit of a MTL fan, splitting my vaping, on average, I reckon 50/50 with DL.
This new year for my B day, my friend actually bought me one of these in white, as he swears by it and is solely a mouth to lung guy.
I can recommend it highly. I know the topic is a few months old, but I was going to start a topic raving about the pockex anyway, so this seemed like the right place to do it.
Caveats are few:
-only the 0.6 ohm coils work well in it
-Drip tip with the 0.6's gets a little too hot, and that's my biggest bugbear.
@thunder kiss, so yes, indeed, that's it's biggest flaw, the drip tip heat. I would love to take a 5 second pull on this but can't as it would totally burn my lips, and i am surprised it's not mentioned often. Luckily, even with 2 seconds you get a real kick.
-No manual airflow control.
On the other end, the airflow is tuned so well with the 0.6 for MTL, it really would only be hardcore DL vapers that dislike it. You know when you vape on a tank that is so tight that it almost feels like you are not moving any air, but then there are others so loose, it makes MTL very difficult? Well aspire have nailed the balance perfectly.
Don't worry about using the 0.6 coils with high nic juice, particularly if you are tolerant of high nicotine and crave throat hit. DL sub ohm coils give you such a nic hit because of the airflow mostly, the way it all rushes into your bloodstream so quickly. Because of the way the airflow of the 0.6 pockex is set up, you don't get any of that issue. .In fact, i even tried halo tribeca 24mg in it, and did a bit of a chain vape, and i didn't get dizzy even once, not at all. To give some perspective, I smoked analogs every day for 20 years, highest strength, so I always thought I was tolerant, but when I first vaped 12mg juice in an aspire atlantis 1.0 ohm coil at 40 watts, i almost blacked out! (yes, the aspire atlantis mega with the 1.0 ohm coil really does work without dry hits up to 50 watts, it vapes like a big airflow sub ohm coil.. quite an achievement for 1.0 ohm, but I digress). When i use big airflow coils at high watts, I can only do 6mg or even 3.
I used the pockex exclusively today with the tribeca24, and didn't feel sick or dizzy once.
I feel the absolute sweet spot for the device is 18mg if you want good throat hit/nic balance.
It's so easy to fill, i love how it has a clearly marked max fill line (and aspire have been rightfully conservative there, even a spec over the line gives no overflow), it really doesn't leak, at all, and it's one of the few devices on the market that give that "oomph" in the back of your throat.
The device really is small, i can almost completely cover it in my wrapped, average sized hand, from top to bottom.
Therefore I think an identical device, with top airflow control and a 4ml tank, and say a 2200 battery, would be a killer option for aspire to bring out.. Basically their version of the joyetech aio pro. I can tell you, the pockex is a better MTL vape than any of the joyetech ego one based products I have tried, and i have tried all of them I think. I remember the first ego one used to drive me crazy with dry hits and gurgling. I guess this is why they are still in stock at many places, and pockex is sold out at so many places.
You literally get *ZERO* burnt hits with this device. even chain vaping. I can't recommend it enough for MTL guys or gals.
It really is one of the few devices I can get a TH with, which is the only thing I miss from cigs.
I heard juul is the holy grail of MTL throat hit, but I can't find a single store that ships it OS. So the aspire is a really decent option, and at least you can use any flavour you like.
I am going to start experimenting with the various nicotine bases out there now specifically tailored for high throat hit, and see if it makes a difference.. There's also a salt one out there with a smooth or kick option.
BTW, my friend got me the white as he said it was the only one in stock, and it looks much better in person, as it's a metallic white.. looks great actually. I think in the pockex though, the silver is the snazziest option.
You can also buy the tank replacements quite cheap at the official aspire store, so you can in effect create colour combos. I will order a black tank to put on the white body, when I order some batteries from aspire next month. It's only $2.
