    Hello again and welcome to today's review that comes to me from Freemax and is on the new ONNIX 2. This newer version of the ONNIX differs from the original version in many ways that I'll describe later on in the review, I'm a little stumped with the changes made on the ONNIX 2. Now that I peaked your interest a bit more lets see some information on the new Freemax ONNIX 2 Pod Kit.

    BREAKDOWN OF ONNIX 2


    Freemax_Onnix_2_Kit_Components.jpg



    FIRST IMPRESSIONS


    Packaging was done very nice with a slide out tray having the ONNIX 2 resting in a form fitted cutout with all other kit contents in a box under the device. The ONNIX 2 comes with the 0.8Ω coil pre-installed.


    20210801_150827.jpg



    When you pull the pod out of the device you will notice a sticker that covers the coil to prevent a accidental firing during the shipping process, as the sticker says peel it off, prime the coil with a couple drops of juice, reinstall the coil and fill the pod. The pod attaches as most do using 2 magnets that are strong, they actually pull the pod out of your fingers when attaching back on the device.


    20210801_153845.jpg



    Filling to pod is done as most are by pulling the beefy plug out of the pod to reveal a very large fill port for your juice, I have a nit picking thing to say about it's location, I think it should have been positioned on the side of the pod for a little bit easier fill. Having the fill port in the position I mentioned would allow more air to escape when filling. Remember to fill slowly and on a angle when filling the 2ml pod and stop before overfilling.


    20210801_160332.jpg



    Type-C 2A charging is located on the very bottom of the device which usually I dislike but I leave the ONNIX 2 on it's side anyway because it's a very thin device, when standing upright a bump of the desk usually sends it falling down so better safe than take a chance over and over of something happening to it from falls, it's tough because I have knocked it over many times before realizing it's better to lay it down. After many falls it still works like day 1.


    20210801_154212.jpg



    I know very well and absolutely love Freemax coils because of the amazing flavor that they produce along with great coil life. The ONNIX 2 carry's the same positioning of the coil as the original ONNIX and that further intensifies the flavor of the coils. Having a clear pod detracts nothing from a device and I'm glad Freemax made the pod clear on the ONNIX 2, just look how close the coil is to the end of the pod mouthpiece, no heat is felt when vaping. This is one of the more comfortable duckbill mouthpieces because of the tapper of it from it's base to tip.


    20210801_152415.jpg



    Having a small bore of the mouthpiece also adds to the many factors of why the ONNIX 2 puts out such great flavor. Being a MTL pod styled device you are not going to fill a room with vapor and that's another plus for the device, also it's not intended to do so.


    20210801_153250.jpg



    Branding is located on both sides of the device and is tastefully done with FREEMAX on one side and ONNIX 2 on the other. The ONNIX 2 gets it's air supply from 2 small holes, each side of the device has a air feed small hole that is placed in a good location so a inadvertent blocking of such is highly unlikely.

    I would have to classify the vape as a semi loose MTL, I prefer a tad bit tighter of a draw but found the intake of the draw worked out alright, I even tried the old trick or blocking one of the air inlet holes with a tiny piece of clear scotch tape and that really tightened up the draw but it was to tight for my liking so I ended up removing it and quickly got used to a bit more air intake on my inhale.

    Freemax gave the user a choice of either a button activated draw or a auto draw feature and both work great, I'm a button guy but in using the ONNIX 2 I found myself preferring the auto draw because it fires immediately with pretty smooth airflow that didn't cut out on me in mid draw as many devices with that feature do. I'm assuming that Freemax didn't put adjustable airflow on the ONNIX 2 to keep the size thinner. Being made out of aluminum alloy really keeps the weight down to only 47.6 grams which makes it a shirt pocket carry device.



    20210801_153047.jpg


    20210801_153145.jpg



    The ONNIX 2 has no wattage or voltage adjustment feature which means no buttons other than the fire/power button. There is no display screen as well but a series of lights located on on side of the device at the bottom.

    There are 3 white lights that are your battery meter and light up when the device is activated or charging, 3 lights indicate 71-100%, 2 lights indicate 36-70% and 1 light indicates 0-35% battery capacity, below the 3 white lights is a blue light that illuminates when the device is activated or vaped.

    During the charging process the 3 white lights breathe and as it gets more power a new light will illuminate.


    20210801_160903.jpg



    There are many colors to choose from and being that blue is my favorite color I was very happy to have received the blue colored one for testing. On mine there is a crisscrossing pattern of lines at the top and bottom face and back of the device with diagonal lines in the center.

    As light reflects off the device in the sunlight outdoors you sometimes get a shimmer of different colors reflecting off the device that makes it look even better than it does. I know it it really has no bearing on performance but the blue O-rings also add to it's appearance.


    20210801_152745.jpg



    FINAL IMPESSIONS


    Having used this over 10 days and continuing to use it I can say that I have had no performance issues with the device or the coils, the 0.8Ω coil is my preferred coil of the 2 because it gives more warmth than the 1.0Ω does, however the 1.0Ω coil tightens the airflow up a smidge more but isn't as warm.

    When I took my first vape on the ONNIX 2 I new immediately that I was using a Freemax coil, flavor is intensified with the TEA FIBER COTTON and whatever other magic that Freemax uses to bring out the flavor notes in juice. There is 0 break in time with both coils.

    I know Freemax wanted to keep the ONNIX 2 small but wish the pod capacity was larger because I have to fill it very frequently mostly because when using I hardly take it out of my hand, with flavor this good chain vaping becomes automatic.

    Function wise it's performed flawlessly and will stay in use of my daily rotation of devices. So in closing do I think the Freemax ONNIX 2 deserves a recommendation, WHOLEHEARTEDLY YES I DO. I have been vaping a certain juice that has many flavor notes to it and it's a MTL juice with a nicotine content of 12% for many years and often try it in a pod device to see if it's flavor notes can come through and some do a good job as others fail, but the ONNIX 2 has brought out some new notes I never had before.

    The Tea Fiber Cotton must be what's doing it for the flavor increase. I haven't dropped the device but have knocked it over a quite a few times and no issue has arisen so build quality must be good, feel like it is . Pick one up folks because it's a winner for sure.

    I would like to thank Tina and Freemax for providing the ONNIX 2 for the purpose of this review, hopefully this review has helped anyone looking to purchase the ONNIX 2.

    THANK YOU

    Thanks NolaMel, I know you will really enjoy it, flavor is so good but it's a Freemax device and coils so I do expect that. The auto draw works very well and the battery last a good long time, with no puff counter onboard I can't give you a total but a all day device is possible.

    Bonus! I wasn’t expecting to get a day out of it. And I’m glad they nailed the autodraw. I have one from a different company where the autodraw is spotty. Fingers crossed that it’s available shortly!!

    Great review Bob! I couldn't remember if you reviewed the first version of the Onnix or not. If so, how about a link? I'd like to read that one too.
    I own the Green Limited Edition but never reviewed it, I actually won it in a contest and love it equally as well. The original ONNIX is wider because of having a 1100mAh internal battery, airflow hole is larger and the original has a airflow selector and is a RDL mainly. Here's a couple of photos next to each other.

    To me the 2 is almost too loose for mtl and I like an airy mtl.
    That's kind of the way I felt at first but after trying the old trick of putting a tiny piece of clear scotch tape over one of the airflow inlet holes I went back to both holes open after using for a couple of days preferring it more and I like more of a tighter MTL vape.
