    Hello once again everyone and welcome to today's review of 3 disposables from Freemax who is known for the great flavor banging coils using their FM Coil Tech Mesh and Tea Fiber Cotton as well as great vape gear (tanks, Pods, Pod Systems, Mods), and now has a line of flavors of Disposable vape devices called Friobar 500. I was sent 3 out of the 10 flavors the Friobar 500 has to offer for review, but before my review of them lets get to know the Friobar 500 a little.

    UNWRAPPING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


    The devices are housed in a sealed plastic tube with a rubber end cap top & bottom, ingredients, specification and flavor inside the device in printed on a plastic wrap covering the tube, The plastic wrapping can be removed and the container tube that the came in can be reused for storing other vape gear such as coils or whatever fits inside. the 3 flavors I received are Apple Pie, Peach Ice and Watermelon.

    Empty tube in the center, use it for storage of something ( coils, cotton, etc. ) Get creative!

    Before using the device a small protective sicker saying PEEL covering the airflow inlet must be removed, there are no buttons as the device is auto-draw only that is a semi-loose draw, more tight than loose.

    The other end of the device Is the mouthpiece that has a bullet shape to it, and also has protection of accidental vape that has to be removed, a small clear rubber plug is inserted into the mouthpiece opening and needs to be removed by just pulling out.

    The auto-draw works very well and is a semi-loose one, The Friobar 500 fires pretty quick with no delay, flavor comes through immediately and gets better with each vape until the 3th or 4th vape as it starts to mute.

    Letting the device sit idle for a minute or so after it comes right back.

    I didn't think the mouthpiece would be a good performer although the bullet shape looks good, but it is comfortable with the right sized bore diameter. The bottom must be unobstructed because of the airflow inlet.

    The Bottom also has a Red LED that lights up when you vape but goes out very quickly after you stop the vape, when the device is either out of juice or the battery is depleted the Red light begins to flash letting you know it's time to discard it.

    FLAVORS SENT TO ME


    APPLE PIE

    The Apple Pie flavor that comes through is of a candy apple rather than a real Apple and although not mentioned in the description or printed on the packaging this really a Apple Ice flavor.

    On the first draw you get a light candied Apple and menthol taste, the 2nd quick vape some pie crust comes through and the menthol ice begins to ramp up more, on your 3rd vape it hit's the peek of flavor and flavor begins to mute. I recommend only 3 vapes then let the device sit idle for a minute or so and the flavor will rebound for another session of vapes.


    PEACH ICE

    The Peach Ice flavor does actually taste like a Peach with very little Ice flavor although not as sweet and powerful as I thought it would be. The light flavor of this one is actually better than the Apple Pie in my opinion.

    The same intensity drop happens as it does with the Apple Pie after the 3rd vape and rebounds back with flavor after paused for 1 minute or 2.


    WATERMELON

    Out of the 3 flavors the Watermelon has the most flavor to it, even unwrapping the package you could smell the Watermelon coming through. This also has a Ice flavoring blended in as all 3 of these do.

    Watermelon is not a flavor that I gravitate to normally but this one is the best out of the trio of flavors that I tested. The Watermelon flavor is very good and it's probably because it has smaller amounts of Ice than the others.

    With the Watermelon it's threshold is 5 vapes before starting to loose flavor and just like the Apple Pie and Peach Ice after some Idle time the flavor pops right back.


    FINAL THOUGHTS

    I really liked the Watermelon because it had a taste of real Watermelon and not a candied one, however the Ice although being refreshing to some didn't go well for my taste buds but I don't care for a menthol or Ice vape.

    All 3 have Ice included in the flavoring but only the Peach states that on it's label. Being a salt vape 3 vapes should do you for a quick Nic hit so waiting a minute or so for the flavor to return is not to bad I guess.


    I would like to thank Tina and Freemax for providing the 3 Friobar 500 disposable vape devices for the purpose of this review.

    THANK YOU

    Good review Bob. I really don’t like disposables but it was a good read. Good thing you didn’t review the VapX pods. Every flavor had menthol so strong it hurt my throat after a few puffs. Not every flavor on a prefilled pod needs menthol.

    I agree with you and company's need to state if the flavor that your buying has menthol or ice in it.
