Unboxing and first impressions:
Hard to believe that such a beast of a kit fits into this tiny box.
Once removed the sleeve i open the box and bam!! first look at the mod...looks beautiful!!
Putting the mod aside i remove the foam tray and the rest of the contents are neatly organized at the bottom.
Once i made sure it was all these it was time to get a good look at the mod.
I got the Silver version and even thou i don't really like the color but the mod fits nicely in my hand and the aesthetics are simple yet classy.
The pod? well i have to be honest...not a fan of the design or material of the pod,not this one specifically more like the general design that seems be a trend these days.
I prefer a solid metal atomizer,unscrew the bottom,insert pod...screw back in again,fill the tank and you are ready to go.
Even thou i do not like the looks i hold my judgement to see how it performs.
Vaping time:
Ok so i got everything i need laid out on my desk,time to put it all together.
I decided to start with the coil that was preinstalled,the MX2 0.2ohm Dual Mesh Coil (60-90W) Best 80W.
I carefully prime the coil and just push it in the pod,easy peasy.
Then time to refill this bad boy,problem is there is no marking on the rubber tab to indicate which side to pull off so before i go on messing with it i have to watch a youtube review of this device so i pull off the correct side.
Not a big con but a little arrow or marking on the rubber tab would have been a nice touch.
This is a big and wide coil so you just can't jam your bottle in there and you can't refill it fast either,you gotta take your time.
Personally i thought that removing the pod from the mod and tilting the bottle made it easier to refill.
Ok so pod filled up and while i let it soak the sweet nectar of the gods i take the time to look more closely at the mod.
I turn the mod upside down since it's time to put the batteries in,pretty simple just push a bit down then forward and voila battery compartment open.
No markings on the inside for battery polarity but no problem since it is clearly marked on the door.
I insert both batteries and close it up,pretty easy actually,just gotta apply pressure down then puss and there you go mod is all powered up.
Keep in mind that the device turns on automatically once you have the batteries in and have closed the door.
You need to know this since the firing mechanism is on the side of the mod,just a heads up so you don't keep your hand pressed against the button.
Now with batteries in the mod and the door closed i run my little test to check for how well the battery door is fit into the mod.
Place a mouse pad on my desk and gently tap and slide the mod across it,after doing so the battery door is still firmly into place,good job Freemax.
I hold the mod again in my hand and shake it a bit,no rattle,clicks,clacks,thumps,tics or tacs.
It feels good and solid,perfect size for my hand...comfortable as a mod should feel.
Major points Freemax on the screen,i am loving it.
As a 46 year old who needs glasses to read ingredients off products i buy in the supermarket or to read instruction manuals this is one cool looking screen.
A large 1.3 inch IML colour screen makes it really easy for me to fiddle around without having to put on my glasses,this screen in particular has four colour schemes to choose from.
I like the screen,the way the info is displayed,its layout and size of the numbers and text but the colors feel a bit off...that is just a personal preference thou,doesn't really count as a con.
The fire button,what can i say about the fire button apart from the fact that it seems to be designed specifically for me and the way i vape and hold my mod,perfection is all i can say.
I hold the mod in my palm,i can hit the fire button and still see all the info on the screen without having to move the mod around...this mod is going up in ranks towards being one of my favorites.
Ok coil primed and ready,i drop in the pod in the mod (powerful magnets),this beast of a pod goes in without a hitch.
With drop in coils i like to break them in really slowly so i start at a measly 30 watts even thou the specs of the coil are 60-90W.
Couple of puffs and then up by 5 watts,couple more puff then up another 5 watts.
Not until i got to 55/60 watts is when i really got the scope of the quality of this coil,color me impressed.
I did dabble in wattage even at 90 watts but for those that know me i am not a warm vape type of guy,i settled at 60 watts and that right there was my sweet spot.
Keep in mind that is double than i am used to,my normal vaping is around 30'ish watts with my RTA coil which ranges between 24 to 38 sometimes 30 ohms.
I liked this coil so much that i found it hard to put it down and use my usual daily RTA.
Since i liked this coil so much i only used it for 2 days,wanted to save for ''special'' occasions hehe.
Went on to try the other coil included in the kit which is the MX1 0.15ohm mesh coil.
With this coil being much thinner filling the tank was much easier since there was more room for the tip of the e-liquid bottle.
After the usual priming the coil and letting it sit i gave it a go.
Meh...i guess it was ok,just felt to airy for me and didn't deliver as good as a performance as the MX 2 coil.
Tried working with the airflow and the wattage but still i found no sweet spot,shame really but you can't like them all.
Freemax was also kind enough to send me a box of the MX3 coils so after 2 days of using the MX1 i decided to give the MX3 a try.
The MX3's are as big and massive as the MX2's,bug chunky coil that chugs juice like a camel in the Sahara desert.
The MX3 0.15 coils 80-110 watts (recommended 100 watts) were pretty impressive,i mean for someone that likes this sort of warm vape this coil delivers.
Personally it is not for me,tried it at 80 watts and i even used it at 100 watts but darn that is just way way i mean way to hot for me.
I settled at 60 watts but i could sense that the coil needed more power,at 60 watts i got better flavor with the MX2 coils.
While using all 3 of the coils i paid attention to see if there was any leaking going on,checked about 3 or 4 times a day and happy to report there was no leaking whatsoever.
There was some minor moisture but that is to be expected,apart from that no leaking which is a huge plus in my book.
If i were to say something negative of this kit it would have to be the pod itself and well maybe the choice of coils.
Starting with the pod,i am just not a fan of these type of pods.
As i mentioned earlier i much prefer a solid metal atomizer on top but again this is just a personal preference,performance wise this coil delivered.
Coil wise well wish i would have got a chance to try out the MX1 SS316L Mesh Coil 0.12 ohm,40-80 watts (best 70 watts).
Think these coils would have been better suited for me but even so the other MX2 coils i enjoyed immensely.
Truth be told i vape a lot,low nic thou a merely 3mg so if i could afford the cost of the coils and the extra juice consumption i would gladly use them MX2 coils day in and day out.
For now i will just save some money and then order some MX2 coils and save them for special occasions and when i feel the need to pamper myself
Freemax is also going to be releasing MX4 and MX5 coils in the near future,so i will keep my eyes open for those.
Apart from those 2 new coils Freemax is also going to be releasing the Maxus DTL Pod Tank.
Pros:
-Shape,design and aesthetics of the mod make it one of my favorites
-MX2 coils are out this world,extremely gratifying to use
-Large screen,no need for glasses to operate the menu
-Leak free (major pro)
Cons:
-Not a fan of the design,shape or material of the pod (personal taste,others may differ)
-Coils i tried don't really suit my style of vaping,yes the MX2 is awesome but i know it is telling me it needs more power.
Maybe the MX1 SS316L Mesh Coil 0.12 ohm will be better suited for me,will try to get my hands on one of those and see how it goes.
-No 510 connection,gotta be honest i love the mod...it just feels right when i hold it,nice and sturdy and i would love to be able to slap one of my RTA on top of it.
Would i recommend this kit:
My answer is a resounding YES.
Now keep in mind i am not a warm vape type of guy so for me to say this is not a simple matter.
But i did enjoy a lot the performance of the MX2 coil and i love the aesthetics of the mod,it feels sturdy and solid.
So if you think these high wattage coils are for you and you're into this style of vaping i gotta recommend this kit.
Thanks to my friends at Firemax for sending me this kit along with a box of MX3 coils (hoping i can try the MX4 and MX5 when they are released).
