Vaporesso Gen Max and Gen SE Review

Disposable vapes have become very popular in vaping, due to their convenience and ease of use. One of the latest entries into the market is the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro, a device designed for convenience, flavor, and extended use. As an experienced vaper, I had the chance to put the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro through its paces, and here is my detailed review covering everything you need to know about this disposable vape kit.
First Impressions
From the outset, the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro makes a strong impression with its minimalist yet robust design. It’s clear this isn’t just another ordinary disposable vape. The device is relatively large for a disposable, measuring 102mm x 43.7mm x 25.1mm, which makes it bulkier than some users might expect. However, this extra size hints at its increased capacity and advanced features compared to traditional disposables.
The transparent outer casing immediately caught my attention, allowing a clear view of the internal components, including the 650mAh battery and the refillable container. This gives the device a modern, almost industrial aesthetic, which sets it apart from other disposable vapes that typically opt for sleek and opaque designs. Overall, it’s a sturdy-looking device, and the design screams quality.
Features and Functions
The Juicy Pod 6000 Pro is packed with a variety of features that elevate it above the basic disposable vape. The headline feature is the dual mesh coil system, which is designed to enhance the flavor and vapor production. Unlike single-coil setups, the dual coils heat the e-liquid more evenly, resulting in a more consistent and intense vaping experience. In practice, this leads to denser clouds and a more full-bodied flavor.
Additionally, the device offers adjustable wattage, a feature not commonly found in disposable vapes. With the wattage ranging from 17W to 22W, users can tailor the power output according to their preferences. The ability to adjust wattage helps customize the intensity of the vapor and flavor, making the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro versatile for different vaping styles. This, combined with its airflow, provides a satisfying restricted direct lung (RDL) hit.
Another standout feature is its capacity for up to 6000 puffs. This is achieved through its innovative 2ml pre-filled tank combined with a 10ml refillable container. Once the initial 2ml tank is depleted, simply insert the refillable container for an extended vaping session. This setup offers much more value for money compared to traditional disposables that may only last a fraction of the time.
Basic Operations
One of the things I appreciate about the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro is its simplicity of use. Although it comes with some advanced features, it doesn’t overwhelm users with complexity. The device utilizes a single-button operation, with the button located at the top of the device, just above the screen.
- Adjusting wattage: To change the wattage, you simply press the button repeatedly until you reach your desired power level, with adjustments made in 1W increments between 17W and 22W.
- Auto-draw: Unlike traditional mods that require manual firing, the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro is an auto-draw device, meaning you just need to inhale to activate it. This feature makes it feel more like smoking a cigarette, which can be appealing to users transitioning from smoking to vaping.
One minor issue I encountered was the stiffness of the refillable container when first inserting it into the device. While some slid in effortlessly, a couple required more force than I would have liked. However, once properly inserted, the containers worked perfectly with no leaks.
Performance
When it comes to performance, the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro delivers a solid experience, especially for a disposable vape. The dual mesh coil system lives up to the hype, providing rich and consistent flavors with every puff. Even at lower wattage levels, I found that the vapor production was excellent, and the flavor came through strong and clear.
Flavor Experience
The Juicy Pod 6000 Pro offers a wide variety of flavors—15 in total. Here’s my experience with a few of the most popular ones:
- Lemon Lime: This flavor is refreshingly tart, with the lime taking the spotlight. It’s a sharp, citrusy profile reminiscent of a summer ice lolly, with just a touch of cooling on the exhale. While the lime dominates, the lemon is present enough to balance out the flavor.
- Triple Mango: The name implies an intense mango experience, but I found the flavor to be somewhat muted. It has the taste of an unripe mango, which might not be as juicy or sweet as some would prefer. Despite turning up the wattage, it remained on the milder side.
- Blueberry Sour Raspberry: This flavor was a highlight. The blueberry was vibrant and sweet, while the raspberry added a tart edge that kept things interesting. A subtle sour note at the end with a light cooling effect made it particularly satisfying.
- Watermelon Ice: Unfortunately, the watermelon flavor was weak and artificial. While the cooling effect was strong, it overshadowed the watermelon, resulting in a flavor that felt imbalanced.
- Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice: This one had potential but ultimately fell short. The strawberry and raspberry were noticeable but quite weak, and the cherry flavor was almost non-existent. The cooling sensation also felt underwhelming compared to other “ice” flavors.
Puff Count
Juicy Pod claims up to 6000 puffs per device, but based on my experience, it didn’t quite reach that number. While vaping the Triple Mango flavor, I managed to get around 2800 puffs, significantly short of the 6000-mark. However, I was vaping at a higher wattage, which likely caused the e-liquid to deplete faster. Those vaping at lower wattage may get more mileage out of their device.
Battery Life
The 650mAh battery included in the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro is sufficient for most users. However, in my case, when vaping at the higher wattage settings (20-22W), the battery didn’t last an entire day. Luckily, the USB-C fast charging is a real lifesaver. In about 40 minutes, the battery was fully charged and ready to go again.
What’s in the Kit?
The Juicy Pod 6000 Pro kit comes with everything you need to start vaping:
- Juicy Pod 6000 Pro device
- Pre-filled 2ml tank (already installed)
- Refillable 10ml container (separate in the packaging)
- User manual
The absence of a charging cable in the kit is a small drawback, especially for those who may not already own a USB-C charger. Including one would have been a nice touch, given that this is a premium-priced disposable vape.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Adjustable wattage (17-22W) for customizable vaping experience
- Dual mesh coils for enhanced flavor and vapor production
- Long-lasting puff count (up to 6000 puffs)
- 15 flavors to choose from, offering a wide variety
- 650mAh battery with USB-C fast charging (fully charges in 40 minutes)
- Transparent, modern design with a clear view of internal components
- Pre-filled 2ml tank and 10ml refillable container for extended use
- Leak-free design and auto-draw function for convenience
Cons:
- No adjustable airflow, limiting appeal for tighter draw preferences
- Battery may not last an entire day at higher wattages (20-22W)
- Some refillable containers are difficult to insert into the device
- Puff count may fall short of 6000, especially at higher wattages
- No USB-C charging cable included in the kit
- Refillable containers are not available separately, leading to waste
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro is a commendable entry into the disposable vape market, offering more functionality than most disposables, thanks to its adjustable wattage, dual mesh coils, and extended puff count. The device is easy to use and provides solid performance, especially for those who prefer a restricted lung hit with substantial vapor production.
However, it’s not without its flaws. The lack of adjustable airflow limits its appeal to users who might prefer a tighter draw. Additionally, the flavor consistency across the range could use some improvement, with some flavors falling short in terms of intensity. Furthermore, the inability to purchase refill containers separately results in unnecessary waste.
For vapers looking for a longer-lasting, higher-performance disposable vape with some customizable features, the Juicy Pod 6000 Pro is a worthy option. If the company addresses the few issues mentioned in future versions, it could potentially dominate this niche of the market.
