Fifty thousand puffs. Two modes. A screen that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. The Remit Solar 50K is making some bold promises for what is, at its core, a prefilled disposable vape.
But after spending proper time with it, I can tell you this: some of those promises land better than others.
So let’s get into it.
What Is the Remit Solar 50K?
The Solar 50K is Remit’s entry into the increasingly competitive “smart disposable” space, a category that’s basically trying to give you pod-system convenience without the faff of refilling or coil changes.
You get a single prefilled unit with a built-in 900 mAh battery, a 3D curved display with planet-themed light effects, two output modes, and adjustable airflow, all in a draw-activated package that works straight out of the box.
It runs on 5% (50mg/ml) nicotine salts exclusively, which tells you exactly who this is aimed at: heavy nicotine users who want long-lasting, high-satisfaction vaping without managing a whole setup.

Norm vs. Turbo: The Feature That Actually Matters
Right, here’s where the Solar 50K earns its stripes. Most disposables at this puff count give you one fixed output and that’s your lot.
Remit gives you a choice:
Norm mode stretches the device to around 50,000 puffs at standard output, while Turbo mode cranks up the power and flavour intensity at the cost of halving the rated count to around 25,000.
In practice, I spent most of my time switching between the two depending on the situation.
- Norm mode for casual, long-session vaping where I just wanted something consistent in the background.
- Turbo mode after meals or when I genuinely wanted to notice the flavour.
It’s a blunt instrument compared to proper wattage control, but for a prefilled device, it’s exactly the right amount of choice.
The important thing to understand is that Turbo mode does noticeably increase the intensity of the 50mg nicotine, so if you’re chain-vaping in that mode, you’ll feel it.
This isn’t a device you want to blast on Turbo all day every day unless you have a high tolerance.
That Screen and the 30-Minute Fast Charge
Look, the 3D curved display with its planet-style light effects is genuinely fun.
It’s not subtle, but it’s not trying to be. You get real-time battery level, mode indicators, and animations that make the Solar 50K feel more like a gadget than a disposable vape.
Practically speaking, the screen earns its place because you always know your battery status, which matters a lot on a long-life device where running out unexpectedly is genuinely annoying.
The 30-minute fast charge claim is the spec I was most curious about. I’ll say this: top-ups are noticeably quick.
Whether it’s hitting the full 30-minute target from completely flat will depend on your USB-C charger, but the charging experience is fast enough that it changes your relationship with the device.
You can plug in for a short break and come back ready to go, rather than planning around a 90-minute charge window like you do with older 50K devices.
Fun Fact: Fast charging in disposable vapes uses the same core principle as fast charging in smartphones: higher amperage delivery in the early charge phase when the battery can absorb it quickly. The 900 mAh cell in the Solar 50K is small enough that even a modest fast-charge rate gets it topped up rapidly compared to the larger cells found in box mods.
Flavour, Draw, and the Transparent Pod
The MTL draw on the Solar 50K is well-tuned for 50mg salts. It’s tight enough to deliver a proper mouth-to-lung hit that you feel, without being restrictive to the point of being unpleasant.
The two-stage airflow lets you open it up slightly if you prefer something a touch less restricted, and I found the looser setting worked better in Turbo mode while the tighter setting suited Norm.
Flavour consistency was solid across the testing period.
The coil held up well, with no noticeable degradation in taste or vapour production through the majority of the device’s life.
At 50mg in Norm mode especially, each puff delivers a clean, satisfying nicotine hit without the harshness you sometimes get on cheaper high-puff devices.
One genuinely useful design detail: the transparent pod lets you see your remaining e-liquid at a glance.
On a device that can last weeks, that’s more useful than it sounds. No guessing whether you’re running low. You can actually see it.
Fun Fact: Nicotine salt e-liquid, like the 50mg formula in the Solar 50K, uses benzoic acid to lower the pH of nicotine, which dramatically smooths out the throat hit at high concentrations. That’s why 50mg salts vape comfortably in an MTL device when 50mg freebase nicotine would be almost unvapeable.
What’s Missing
The Solar 50K does its job well, but it’s working with a simpler feature set than some of its direct competition.
There’s no ice level adjustment. No sweetness dial. No nic intensity preset. You get Norm or Turbo, and your two airflow positions, and that’s the extent of your control.
Compared to devices like the Vabeen Cyber Beast 50K, which layered ice and nicotine presets on top of its power options, the Solar 50K feels more stripped back in the customisation department.
Whether that bothers you depends entirely on what you want.
If you want simplicity and a device that just works, the Solar 50K’s approach is actually a strength. If you like dialling things in throughout the day, you may find yourself wanting more.
The fixed 5% nic is also worth flagging.
There’s no lower strength option, so if you’re sensitive to nicotine or looking to step your intake down, this isn’t the device for that journey. At full Turbo, the hit is pretty damn substantial.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Norm/Turbo dual mode is genuinely useful and easy to switch between
- 900 mAh battery with fast charging makes daily use realistic
- 3D curved display delivers real battery and mode info, not just decoration
- Transparent pod means you can always see how much juice is left
- MTL draw is well-matched to 50mg nic salt delivery
- Draw-activated: zero learning curve, works immediately out of the box
- Up to ~50,000 puffs in Norm mode makes it one of the longer-lasting options at this price point
Cons
- No ice, sweetness, or nic intensity adjustment: customisation is limited to mode and airflow
- 5% nic only, no lower-strength options available
- Still a single-use prefilled disposable: once it’s done, the whole unit goes
- Turbo mode halves the rated puff count, so heavy Turbo users get closer to 25K
- Chain-vaping in Turbo at 50mg will hit hard: not for the nicotine-sensitive
- No pod-swapping or flavour switching like multi-tank competitors offer
Who Is the Remit Solar 50K For?
This is a device with a clear target audience, and if you’re in it, you’ll be happy with it.
The Solar 50K is built for vapers who want a long-lasting, high-nic, low-effort device with a bit more personality than a plain disposable bar.
If you’re coming from cigarettes, want an all-day device you can forget about between charges, and don’t need to be tweaking settings constantly, this lands really well.
If you want multi-flavour switching, adjustable ice levels, or anything approaching open-system flexibility, look at something like the Cyber Beast 50K or explore our full disposable alternatives range.
And if you’re thinking about moving away from disposables altogether, you’ll want to get a pod vape and right now these are the best options in the business. I use this one, if that helps – it’s been my go-to for 9+ months now.
Wrapping Up
The Remit Solar 50K is a well-executed, no-nonsense high-puff disposable that does most of what it promises.
The dual output modes and fast-charging battery are its strongest arguments, and the MTL draw is genuinely well-suited to its 50mg nic salt formula.
It’s not trying to be the most feature-rich device in the category, and that restraint actually works in its favour for the right type of vaper.
Just don’t expect the customisation flexibility of pricier multi-tank competitors.
FAQ
Does the Remit Solar 50K actually last 50,000 puffs? In Norm mode, that’s the advertised figure. Real-world usage will vary depending on how long your draws are and how often you vape, but the juice capacity is substantial. Be aware that switching to Turbo mode cuts the rated count to around 25,000 puffs, so your actual lifespan depends heavily on which mode you use most.
What’s the difference between Norm and Turbo mode? Norm mode runs at standard output and maximises the puff count to around 50,000. Turbo mode increases power output for stronger flavour and denser vapour, but roughly halves the puff count. You switch between them on the device itself. There’s no granular wattage control beyond these two options.
Is 5% nicotine too strong for casual vapers? It depends on your tolerance, but 5% (50mg/ml) is on the higher end of nic salt strengths. If you’re a light vaper or someone who’s been gradually reducing nicotine, this may be more than you need. In Turbo mode especially, the hit is noticeable. There’s no lower-strength version available for the Solar 50K.
How fast does it actually charge? Remit claims 30 minutes from flat. In practice, the charge speed is genuinely fast compared to standard 50K devices, which often take 60 to 90 minutes. Your actual time will depend on your USB-C charger, but even with a standard adapter the turnaround is quick enough to fit into a short break.
Can I adjust the flavour intensity or cooling on the Solar 50K? No. Unlike some competitors that offer ice level or sweetness presets, the Solar 50K’s adjustments are limited to Norm/Turbo mode and two-stage airflow. What you get is the flavour as it comes in the pod. If in-depth flavour customisation is a priority, check our disposable vape features section for options with more on-device tuning.
