The Aspire PockeX is a compact all-in-one vape pen that measures only 11.77cm by 1.97cm — allowing for great portability as it could be stored into literally any pocket, enclosure, or bag. The vape is one of the shortest tube mod in the market that offers dense vapor production and superb flavor.

The Aspire PockeX is extremely easy to use and makes use of the tried and tested one button operation. Two things could be done with the fire button — firing and locking the vape pen. The PockeX features pass-through mode and a 10-second automatic cutoff time which basically stops it from firing for more than 10 seconds at a time.

Aspire PockeX Review

A sleek and small all-in-one vape mod that is shorter than most smartphones, the Aspire PockeX is simple to use and will appeal to people who are looking for a no-nonsense mod. With its small size and weight of only 86 grams, handling it is pleasant.

The PockeX vape pen is well-built and its design makes it really easy and not stressful to use; there is also little maintenance needed. Its build is the first rate with silky-smooth connections. The vape feels premium and classy to the touch, it really is a very nice looking vape kit. All in all, the mod’s aesthetics are really great.

Its stainless steel body gives it a rugged and durable feel and the sheath cutouts help improve the overall look of the device. The Aspire PockeX’s tank has a 2mL capacity, is TPD compliant, and is leak-proof. Its coil screws are located at the top of its battery and the tank and mouthpiece fitting is on top.

The device has a non-adjustable airflow which helps on making it super compact. The airflow holes are located under the top cap and the airflow is nice and is suitable for DTL vaping or lose MTL vaping.

The PockeX vape mod also has a non-variable voltage of 4.2 volts and non-adjustable temperature, making it convenient starter kit for beginners. It supports pass-through vaping and the micro USB for charging is located at the bottom. It produces a remarkable taste profile while also providing a strong throat hit.

The vapor production is nice and the device’s coils are versatile, and they last a long time if one doesn’t let it dry out. The battery life is pretty solid too. With its functionality, it is definitely a bang for the buck as it provides almost as much vapor and a really satisfying flavor as some bigger box mods in the market.

Aspire PockeX Kit

The kit comes with the device itself with a 0.6ohm atomizer pre-installed, a replacement 1.2ohm atomizer, a micro-USB cable for charging, a user manual, and a warranty card.

Battery

The Aspire PockeX has made use of a bult-in 1500mAh battery with a bypass output. The battery comes with a 30-day warranty from the date of purchase.

There is also a battery charge level indicator in the form of the fire button’s color changing depending on how much battery life is left. The color blue means that there is more than 30% power remaining and the color red means that there is less than 30% power remaining.

Aspire PockeX Tank

The tank that comes with the Aspire PockeX is a 2mL one and is made of Pyrex and metal. It is available in multiple color options: black, stainless steel, white, blue, rainbow, and rose gold. To care for and maintain the tank, one just needs to clean it with water and let it dry or wipe the inside down with a paper towel.

Aspire PockeX Coils

Two different coils come in the basic kit — a 0.6ohm one and a 1.2ohm one. The 0.6ohm coil (stainless steel) is for sub-ohm vaping and produces what one needs while not eating up the device’s battery life.

The 1.2ohm coil (Kanthal coil), on the other hand, is great for mouth-to-lung hits and helps double the device’s battery life. The coils of Aspire PockeX are a combination of stainless steel wires (SS316L) and organic cotton paired with Aspire’s innovative U-Tech coil technology — diverting the airflow inside the coil head and allowing for the recycling of the drawn air twice past the coil for a layered, stronger taste and superbly dense vapor.

This technology creates a coil that produces unparalleled flavor in its class. The coils have a recommended operational range of 18 to 23 watts and provide a familiarly cool flavor-focused draw for beginner vapers, expert vapers, and everyone in between. These coils come in packs of five and are also compatible with Aspire’s Nautilus X tank.

How to Clean the Coils

Cleaning the coils could be done by boiling them for a good to 3 minutes and then rinsing it with cold water and letting them dry for at least three days. Another way to clean it is by using pipe cleaners with metal bristles or by swishing them in distilled water, vodka, or rubbing alcohol and allowing it to dry for about a day.

How long do the Coils Last

Coils generally last between 1 to 4 weeks but could be extended if the coil is broke in properly and when good care and maintenance procedures are practiced. One thing to monitor is when the coil heats up and there is a noticeable burnt taste to the vapor that the PockeX produces when it is used. This is when a change of coil is to be done.

How to Use the Vape Mod Aspire PockeX

With the PockeX’ battery charged and its tank filled, the device is ready to use. To unlock the device and turn it on, simply press the fire button five times in succession (same goes with turning it off). The indicator light will then flash three times, indicating that it is ready for vaping. To take a hit, just hold the fire button and once you’re done, just release the fire button. One must also pay attention to the tank’s window located on the tank’s side as the e-liquid level in the tank should at all times cover the exposed cotton of the atomizer coil because if the e-liquid is below the cotton, the wick could go dry and burn.

How to Fill the Aspire PockeX

The PockeX is a top-filling device — allowing you to drop, drip, or pour the e-liquid of your choice into its tank that has a capacity of 2mL. Filling it is simple, one just has to unscrew and remove the device’s top cap, fill the tank with e-liquid (there is a line that serves as a guide so as to not overfill it), and then screw the top cap back into the tank.

Aspire PockeX’s place on the E-cigarettes Market

Aspire PockeX vs Vision Spinner 2

For a beginner, the Vision Spinner 2 is a good battery to start with. Its stylish and sleek look is similar to other mid-sized batteries. It features a more convenient and comfortable voltage dial, improved PCB circuitry, and longer-lasting battery. One can pair it up with a tank of their choice.

The Vision Spinner 2 has a battery life of 1600mAh and a variable voltage dial that ranges from 3.3 to 4.8 volts. The device is comfortable to hold and use and also looks beautiful. The Vision Spinner 2 vapes really well — giving one a smooth draw and a ton of vapor. The battery comes in a variety of colors, ranging from stainless steel to rich forest green. It comes with features such as short-circuit protection, overcharge protection, and battery monitoring to name a few. The Vision Spinner 2 is equipped with both eGo and 510 threading and has a cut-off time of 10 seconds.

Aspire PockeX vs Smok Stick V8

The Smok Stick V8 has a 3000mAh battery paired with the TFV8 Big Baby tank which is top-filling and has an adjustable airflow. The device comes with two different coil options — one that is rated at 0.15ohm and one that is rated at 0.25ohm. What the 0.25ohm coil lacks in clouds, the 0.15ohm makes up for, but the 0.25ohm gives a slightly better flavor.

The voltage on this device is not adjustable and it only delivers voltage based on the battery’s charge state. The Smok Stick V8 is single button operated and its pen-style design makes its portability good — one can easily toss it in their pocket. Its slim design comfortably fits in one’s hand and is easy to hold during a session. The V8 comes in a variety of colors, too, ranging from black to rainbow. The device also comes with a suite of safety features such as its eight-second puff timer to prevent accidental firing and overheating, short-circuit protection, and much more.

My way of understanding the significance of vaping came not only through the disruption of smoking but its effects on society as a whole. Now I bring people to vaping and bring vaping to people. I love using new gear, writing in-depth reviews and generally nerding out about vaping to like-minded people.
