The Hellvape Drop Dead 2 RDA makes some fairly large, and welcome, changes to the original Drop Dead

The Veepon Tita-X RBA hasn’t made a lot of noise in the industry, yet, based on performance, it’s up there with some of the industry giants.

The Vapefly Jester II aims to simplify, and improve on the highly successful, but pretty terrible Jester from 2019.

The Steam Crave Meson POD offers nothing special, it’s an average device at best that solely relies on its design to attract customers and nothing else.

The Uwell Caliburn G3 is everything you would expect from a Uwell pod system. Great construction, flavour and longevity.

The Voopoo Drag 4 marks a return to Voopoo’s golden years with less gimmicky non-sense and more functionality. The Drag 4 is the perfect mod for those looking to switch to high power devices or even seasoned vapers looking for a rock solid mod to run daily.

The Geekvape Z200 is everything that makes the T200 good, but there’s something odd about this device.

The Geekvape T200 is another homerun by Geekvape, a large touchscreen display, dual battery device that’s rock solid and performs as good as anything out there

In this comprehensive guide, we explore the various types of vape coils and materials available and help you understand which coil best suits your vaping style

The Geekvape Aegis U Pod system has great flavour in a nifty form factor, but sadly that’s where the good news stops.

The Vandy Vape Kylin M Boro bridge is a perfect fit for boro style devices. A weird airflow adapter, but superb flavour and leak free make this a serious top 5 contender for cheap boro devices. Vandy Vape Kylin M Bridge Verdict – 81% There’s not many a mesh bridge available to those that enjoy…

The BP Mods Pioneer Insider bridge far outperforms it’s price, not only in performance and looks, but build quality as well. The only thing separating the BP Mods Pioneer Insider from high-end bridges is the false sense of quality attributed to paying over inflated prices for “premium” gear. BP Mods Pioneer Insider Verdict – 91%…

The Vapelustion Hannya Airtok pod system suffers from poor quality control and shoddy build quality, but performs as good as some of the best systems we’ve used. Vapelustion Hannya Airtok Verdict – 62% In an attempt to be hip and trending, Vapelustion brings us a device that is obviously inspired by Ed Hardys’ wildest imagination.…

All aside, the Hellvape Hellbeast 2 Sub Ohm Tank is just another tank. There’s nothing new, unique or exciting about it, but what it does, it does well; perfectly average in all aspects without being a disappointing experience.

It’s not technically snus, but it is damn close. So are Nordic Sprit nicotine pouches any good? Or are you better off with a vape – or real snus? You might have seen Nordic Sprit advertising in the tele. The company is currently offering free samples to its UK customers. All you have to do…

The Dovpo Riva proves that there’s still place for large dual battery DNA devices, but it’s not without fault. It’s bulky, power hungry and awkward to carry, but it performs absolutely flawlessly. Dovpo Riva DNA 250C Verdict – 79% It feels as if DNA mods have become less relevant after the sudden influx of AIOs,…

The Netherlands flavour prohibition is set to take place on July 2023, killing off 80% of the Netherlands e-liquid market. It’s not all doom and gloom, but certainly terrible news for Dutch vapers. The Dutch government has announced it will carry out its plan to prohibit all flavours bar tobacco flavours with only a very…

Water based systems are nothing new, but the Innokin Innobar C1 is the first system that looks to get the technology far enough for mass adoption. The technology makes disposables even cheaper and more accessible to those looking to quit smoking. What is Water Based Vaping? Water based devices add 30% water content along with…

The Hellvape Dead Rabbit Max is a fresh take on an old classic, a real dose of nostalgia

Is there still space for a pure mechanical mod these days? The Bushido Squonk Mod makes a strong case as to why

The Caliburn has long been detroned, is the Oxva Xlim the new king?

Does Wotofo have what it takes to compete in the overly saturated disposable market?

The Atmizoo Vapesnail is touted as the only Billet Box accessory you will ever need. Nearly perfect in every way, it’s easy to see why it is held in such high regard . Atmizoo Vapesnail Verdict – 98% Atmizoo Vapesnail Pros: An all in one solution that replaces the somewhat finicky boro tank The best…

The Voopoo Vinci POD, the newest iteration of the successful Vinci AIO, has just landed and I’m not convinced that Voopoo is heading in the right direction. No matter how good this pod device is, dropping the PNP system for POD devices makes little sense and is the Vinci POD kits’ biggest letdown.  Voopoo Vinci…

The Voopoo Vinci X 2 brings the original Vinci series, which was easily the best AIO of its time, in line with Voopoos’ current design philosophy. While technically there’s not much new here, the update makes the Vinci feel even more relevant than it already was. Voopoo Vinci X 2 Verdict – 82% Voopoo Vinci…

When it comes to small, portable vapes most people tend to think JUUL or RELX. But there are better options available – like the MOTI S-Lite Quick Verdict – Is The MOTI S-Lite Pod Worth It? If you’re looking for a solid, reliable vape pen-style device with great battery life and a nice, pleasing design the…

The Vapefly Manners POD tries to hit the spot with their latest addition, but just barely misses the mark. A sleek and elegant device offering great flavour is let down by lower than average pod life. Vapefly Manners POD Verdict – 64% Vapefly Manners POD Pros: Sleek looking device Great flavour USB C charging 650mAh…

The Atmizoo Tripod is the definition of high-end gear. It’s expensive and not without its quirks but it performs like nothing else on the market. The Tripod is a fantastically machined RTA that is not only versatile but performs flawlessly in both MTL and RDL modes. If you’ve got cash to burn and looking for…

Aspire, an old hand at the vaping game has gone with a new approach and the results are magnificent. Moving on from the POD and AIO market, the Aspire Paradox and 9nth MTL tank deliver a vaping experience rivalled by few. If Aspire can nail this level of quality consistently, we may just have a…

Vampire Vape is a UK ejuice company that makes a huge range of flavors. In this guide, I’ll detail what I think are the best Vampire Vape flavors you should try… Whether you’re using pod mods, an MTL tank, or a sub-ohm vape tank, Vampire Vape has an ejuice for you – from nic salts to…

Voopoo have invested heavily in their PNP ecosystem, not just on the atomizer side, but so too on hardware. It seems like not a month passes without a new PNP device from Voopoo. The Drag Max is the newest release in this lineup and falls neatly between the Drag X and Argus GT. Dropping the…

The Geekvape Wenax Stylus is Geekvape’s entry into the pen styled POD vape market. They are ridiculously late to the party and the Wenax doesn’t offer anything new or innovative to the market, so why should we care? Well, it’s Geekvape and they are known to take their time to properly research and develop a…

The Scar series is the newest in Smok’s lineup, taking a stab at the Aegis line from Geekvape. IP67 rated devices, being water, dust and shockproof, they aim to provide durable devices for users that are a bit harder on their hardware. Unfortunately, they just don’t quite get there, even if they are on average…

Freemax is known for their durable, flavorful coil design. This past year Freemax has started to branch out into making small mods and starter kits to go with their coils and tanks. Today we check out the new Freemax Gemm starter kit. Freemax Gemm Is The New Pod System The new Freemax Gemm system is…

In the fast-moving world of vape hardware, companies are allowed to have one, maybe two missteps. For Wotofo, this was the COG RTA. An RTA that’s airflow was so bad, it may as well not have had any. The Profile RDTA may not be related to the COG RTA in any way, but it’s so…

Ever look at your 30mm atomizers and thing “Man, I sure could use some extra girth”? Me neither. Never-the-less, here’s the Steamcrave Ragnar, a 35mm monstrosity of an RTA that has more bells and whistles than a bell and whistle shop. Steamcrave Ragnar RDTA Review Verdict – 89% (View Latest Prices) Steamcrave Ragnar Pros: Wide…

Smok/OFRF and Nexmesh have teamed up to make the ultimate regulated pod system. These two popular companies have brought their A-game to a new concept. We take a look at why this device is different from your run of the mill pod mod… A Collaborative Design Between Smok and OFRF Smok is probably the most…

It’s no secret that Freemax has been a leader in subohm tank innovation. Their Fireluke and Mesh Plus tanks have been popular with vapers everywhere. But what about it’s foray into the more modern Pod vape? We take a look at the new Freemax Maxpod. Freemax Joins The Pod Club It seems like every company…

A little over a year ago, Uwell launched it’s first real pod device with The Caliburn. How do you follow up such a successful and popular product? Today we take a look at their newest device, The Zumwalt. Named By Aliens? Let’s address the elephant in the room before we get started here. What is…

Cybervape impressed us immensely with their first device, the Cyber X. An AIO that was well ahead of it’s time. Solidly built, performed flawlessly and with looks to boot, it was one of our favourite devices of 2019. Now, almost a year later, they welcome their second product to the market and it feels a…

This week, Geekvape celebrates 3 years of The Aegis line of mods with the reveal of the Aegis Boost Plus. Does their new offering hold up to the legacy?

The AIO market is so saturated that manufacturers are grabbing at straws to get their market share. We’ve seen pretty much everything that’s on offer, but Ultroner has thought outside the box and created the first (that we know of) lipo, stabwood all in one device. It’s not perfect by any means, but it certainly…

The Drag X and the Drag S from Voopoo are the newest versions of the Drag family. Apart from the namesake, the devices have nothing in common with the legendary Drag series, however, for all in one device, these things are pretty solid and worth a look. Voopoo Drag X & VooPoo Drag S Verdict…

I love when new companies throw caution to the wind and come up with an idea that’s just so wild, no one dares follow them. The Nevoks Angus is one such device. It’s a POD system, but it’s also an RDA and it takes both mesh and regular coils. It’s both DL and MTL and…

The Wotofo COG MTL RTA was set to be the biggest thing in MTL vaping this year. With a unique cog styled airflow setup, it promised to be precise, configurable, and an all perfect MTL RTA. Instead, what we got, was none of those things. Wotofo COG RTA Verdict – 67% Wotofo COG RTA Pros:…

You’ve heard of YiHi and SX mods. But did you know you can now get a YiHi-powered SX Mini? I’ve just spent an entire month testing it, here’s what happened… SX Auto Squonk– Verdict (92%) TL;DR Version – The SX Auto Squonk is a YiHi powered AIO (all in one vape) that comes with a range of…

Red takes the SMOK RPM80 & RPM80 Pro out for a test drive in order to see how these AIO vapes compare and which, out of these two vapes, is the best overall vape device… Love them or hate them, SMOK has been responsible for many users switching from combustible tobacco to electronic cigarettes. Sure,…

I’m crazy about pod systems. I have to have them all. If there’s a new one on the horizon, I will try everything in my ability to get hold of it, even if that means selling my dignity. There was one system I had a hell of a time getting my mitts on, the Lusty…

I’ve been tinkering around with what is probably the weirdest vape mod I’ve used to date. It’s called the Ultroner Mini Stick and it is one of the smallest and stubbiest mods I’ve ever encountered Ultroner Mini Stick Review | Verdict | 90% It looks totally badass, though, and is an ideal setup for anyone…

The Smoant Charon Baby is a simple, breath-activated pod mod (just like the UWELL Caliburn). It has a large battery, solid design, and picks up where the Smoant Pasito left off. But is it any good?  Smoant Charon Baby Verdict – 72% Smoant Charon Baby Pros: Simple to use Top-notch build quality and designs Great…

I’ve been tinkering around with this awesome new pod vape all week and the damn thing has impressed me no-end! It’s called the iPV V3 Mini Auto-Squonk pod and it runs on the immensely powerful YiHi SX635J Chipset. Keep in mind that the YiHi SX635J Chipset is usually found in $200+ vape mods. With the iPV…

Usually, I’m not a big fan of SMOK. I’ve had plenty to say about its products over the years and most of it wasn’t particularly positive. I do like its pod systems though. And its latest, the SMOK Fetch Pro, pretty much just blew my socks off (and it only costs $36). This is an…

The Ultroner x Asmodus Thor II is an easy foray into the world of DNA devices. It’s cheap enough not make your eyes water, but not cheap enough to embarrass you at Vapecon. A wonderful device at the price, even if it’s a little older… Ultroner Thor II Verdict – 89% Ultroner Thor II Pros:…

The Wismec Reuleaux RX200 box-mod is easily one the best and cheapest ways of hitting 200W with a box-mod UPDATE: 25/03/2019 The Wismec Reuleaux RX200 is now very old. Like really old. In vape years, it’s basically ancient and while it is still a decent option, there are plenty of other, newer models that are…

NAKED E Juice Review – simple names, massive flavors, awesome E Juice. In this review, I detail my personal favorite Naked E Juice flavors as well as what I like from the company’s NKD 100 Salt E-Liquid line… Naked E Juice is very well known throughout the USA and UK. You can find it in…

MyFreedomSmokes is a US-based vape retailer that sells a range of vaping products from RDAs to Mech Mods and Starter Kits and sub-ohm vape tanks – but is it worth your time? In the US, there is no shortage of online vape and e-cig stores. Off the top of my head, I can think of at…

If you’re rocking a box-mod with removable batteries you NEED a recharging device, and the NITECORE DigiCharger D4 is EASILY the best vape battery charger in the business right now. Nothing else comes close for performance, safety features, and reliability… The NITECORE DigiCharger D4 is a fairly unassuming piece of kit and it comes in…
