I have had the amazing opportunity of reviewing the Maxpod, sent to me by Freemax. This is my first review and I hope I can share some relevant information and my personal opinions with our vaping community.
First some information taken from Freemax website. Picture attached.

Maxpod Kit | Freemax - Taste the Clouds, Feel the Flavors!
Inside the Box
The colour around my Maxpod is a dark metallic black with a shiny blue and like a clear layer over it, a bit of fingerprint magnet but not too bad.
With every draw the LED light will light up, colours will indicate battery level, white, then blue and finally red. In my experience when it shows red pretty much next draw it will not fire. Not much warning if I wanted to charge it before it stopped working.
The micro USB port is located on the one side of the device and I had no issues with this at all. Using the micro USB cable provided is just plug it to the micro USB port on the side of the Maxpod and the battery will charge. LED light stays red while charging and once is fully charge the LED light will go off. Charge from completely depleted battery to full took around 35 to 40 mins.
The coils provided in the box are:
Always remember to prime the coils, press fit the coil in the pod, fill with juice of your choice and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Just to make sure the coil is fully saturated.
On the device there are two airflow holes one of each side to give a MTL experience.
This is a very solid device, nice feel on the hand with more weight to it than I expected, which is not a bad thing.
The pod can hold 2 ml of juice, it has a clear marking with a minimum line, when reached, the pod should be refilled to avoid burning the coil. The pod is tinted, slightly lesser under the mouthpiece, during the day is easier to see the juice level, not so much when it is dark.
The pod connects to the device using two strong magnets, I can lift the device just by holding the mouthpiece and I did get a slight movement of the pod once inside the device, almost not noticeable.
The pod has a side rubber plug, easy to open and hold while refilling, I had to tilt the pod to make the juice go around to fill completely. I used a 10 ml and 100 ml bottle, no issues with either to refill. Something to note here it is if I fill the pod to max capacity or leave it on it side, I do get a bit of juice in my tongue for the first few puffs.
The firing time of the Maxpod is fast which is a tick in my book, both coils are rated for MTL.
I started with the NS Mesh 1ohm coil (light blue), for me a loose MTL but I can happily do both MTL or a very restricted DL which is what I personally prefer, flavour is amazing, I get to taste different notes of my usual juice.
With the NS Mesh 1.5ohm (red) is a tighter draw, flavoursome, more MTL and a slightly more restricted DL for me.
If someone wanted a tighter MTL one could close one of the two airflow holes with the lanyard or a finger. I did try but a bit too tight for my liking.
Both coils are great, but I prefer the NS Mesh 1 ohm, not to tight and more flavour, not that I mind using the 1.5 ohms. I am a very versatile vaper.
The Maxpod has taken the top spot for my daily carry around device because it packs a punch in flavour and all around is solid device.
Positives
In conclusion, I would really recommend the Freemax Maxpod to any pod user and beginner vaper, even big cloud chasers could use a small carry around device for those stealth puffs. I love mine and the flavour is phenomenal. Overall a great pod system.
I want to thank @Freemax_Jerry and Tina for the opportunity to try their products and do this review.
