PockeX Box is the latest device brought to the market by Aspire. The original PockeX was a stick based device with the tank built into the top of it. The designers specifically created this device as an all-in-one option for beginners or those trying to switch to e-cigarettes. With the passage of time the original PockeX has become a bit aged, that’s why they came out with a newer version in that line i-e the Aspire PockeX Box. It’s the same basic concept. Whereas, the original was designed as a stick. This is more in a box shape. But it does have that unique built-in tank which is a part of the whole device.
This device boasts a much better finish and still targets the transitional market. It’s for newer people transitioning, or for people who want a smaller – more stylish and stealthier sort of vape. It’s definitely the best choice for starters.
Inside the Box
Aspire PockeX Box comes in a box that is pretty much the same as of other devices, with a little sticker on the front that tells you the color of the device. Inside the box you will get a user manual containing all the information you need to know i-e specs and details etc. you will also get a USBC charging cable, two Utec coils (1.2 Ohm, rated from 10-12 Watts and 0.6 Ohm coil – 18 to 23 Watts) and the device itself. This device comes with a 0.6 Ohm coil preinstalled. The tank holds 2.6 ml of e-liquid.
Grip-Friendly & Easy to Clean Built
The external finish of PockeX Box is a massive upgrade to the previous PockeX. The original PockeX is a really nice tube device, but that has a very shiny and glossy material, kind of fingerprint magnet but this new one has a rubberized feeling with a firm grip. The thing with this is that if you do get liquid on it, or if it gets wet, it’s going to be very easy to clean. It is not waterproof, dustproof or shockproof but it is very easy to clean.
General Overview of Aspire PockeX Box
You will get a USBC charging port on the side and below that it has a little light for power or any other indicators. Fire button is on the front and on the base it has battery ventilation holes. Other than that it is pretty straightforward.
Built-in Tank On the Top
As mentioned the original PockeX was a stick with the tank built into the top. This device is a box kit and it is the same basic idea. It has the tank built into the device. You can’t unscrew or remove the tank, it won’t come off. The removable glass allows for easy replacement, but the lack of spare glass in the box is surprising. The coil goes in the glass and then screws onto the top and then you are good to go.
Removable 510 Drip Tip
It has a removable 510 drip tip. If you really want to replace it, you can easily remove it. In order to fill, simply give the tip a little slide. There is a little dot there on the top. Pushing it that way exposes the filling port. Fill directly through there and it will come to the tank. When you are done with filling, slide that back over.
Adjustable Airflow
The airflow of this device is adjustable top-airflow, you can adjust it by giving it a turn. You can get that wide open or you can turn it to close down. It is nice and firm, it might seem a little bit difficult to adjust but the good part of it is that it will stay there where you want it to be and won’t move around.
Priming the coil
The coils of PockeX have large wicking ports so this should have no problem wicking-up. While most coils benefit from priming with a few drops of e-liquid in the center, these coils’ unique structure requires a longer sit time of 15-20 minutes for proper saturation.
Getting Started with The Aspire PockeX Box Kit
Grab the coil, slide it in the tank and tight it, just finger tight is good enough. Put the drip tip on top and screw it again, just finger tight. With the drip tip on the tank, it’s going to be a lot easier to adjust your airflow and there is no stopper. It’s going to go all the way around, and you can adjust up to your own preference.
Turning the Aspire PockeX Box Device On & Off
Five clicks to the fire button will turn the device on. The small light will flash there and then when you hit that button and fire, it’s going to light up. When you want to turn it off simply click the fire button 5 times. Always let the brand new coil to saturate for a little while.
Battery Charge Indicator
The little light also works as a battery charge indicator. When the battery is getting low, it will go red when it is under 3.5 Volts or when the battery charge is less than 33 %. The indicator light turns blue when the battery is between 33% and 66% charged. It turns green when fully charged.
Pros and Cons of Aspire PockeX Box
It is a nice looking device. The overall feel of it compared to the original version, it’s less stylish more utilitarian but actually it does look very nice as the finish is outstanding. The original’s slippery, shiny coated metal became difficult to hold with sweat or excess e-liquid on your hands. This one has much more firm grip and is very easy to clean. It’s got that little bit of checkering on both sides that enhances grip, that’s a really nice feature. The button is in the perfect position so you could easily press it while holding the device. If you are a thumb fire, this is going to be perfect.
Performance Overview
Overall it’s a nice looking and nice performing device. It is a very straightforward device. just put your coil in there, adjust your airflow, make sure it’s charged and you are good to vape it. There is no adjustment, there is no power levels, there is no 2 or 3 steps/modes of powers as some of the other devices have. It is one of the best options for beginners, as you don’t need to worry about temperature/wattage settings related to coils. Just pop your coil and vape. If you want more intense, go for a lower resistance coil and if you want a little less intense, less cloudy, go for a higher resistance coil and that’s pretty much how you are going to adjust this device by changing out to different coils.
Some users may find the device as a little bit under-power or weak. If you are used to other vaping devices and the ability to crank up the power, this may feel a little bit weaker to you. You may feel like the output is a bit cool but it’s not as intense as you would like. However, it may actually suit quite a lot of beginners because you have less intensity coming your mouth.
Battery and Charging
This device comes with an internal 2000 mAh battery. It takes around 3-4 hours to fully charge the battery. Charging time may be less if you are using a fast charger. You can vape for a whole day with one full charge.
Various Colors of Aspire PockeX Box Kit
