REVIEW BY JAMES PARNELL
Device Specifications:
Ultra slim, micro-engineered stainless-steel blade
Slide and lock mechanism
Three-button power control
Micro USB charge
MyVype App (Available on Google Play)
This new pod system from Vype
uses custom closed-pod cartridges.
It is a slightly larger variant of the
iSwitch, featuring a bigger battery and
three power settings.
It looks and feels clean and corporate, making
it perfect for work and smart occasions, and is
available in either silver, black or blue. The construction
is solid, finished with a soft-touch matte coating and is
notably larger than many similar devices on the market.
The ergonomic pebble shape is comfortable in-hand and features
a discreet fire button on the outer edge. The base of the battery is
angled which lends a certain visual appeal, but it does make it easy to
knock the device over when standing it on a surface.
- Great MTL experience
The MAXX features the same slide-and-lock pod chamber and pods as the
iSwitch. The pods are long and sleek, each containing 2ml of Fresh Mint, Forest
Berries or Virginia Tobacco e-liquid. They include built-in overfill protection which
prevents juice from entering the mouth, ensuring a smooth and mess-free vape.
- Unsteady base, doesn’t stand
up too well
As for functionality, this device is straight-to-the-point, featuring three power levels, all of which
impact the hit and vapour production. The hit from either of the nicotine strengths is impressive
in respect to its specified milligram content. For example, the 3mg e-liquid gives a punchy throat-
hit that is much smoother and with a more satisfying nicotine delivery than its competitors.
The MyVype App acts as a diary and smoking-cessation aid, giving the user guidance and progress
reports. This is a nice feature allowing people to track their use well beyond what a puff-counter alone could
provide.
This is a sturdy and easy-to-use pod device that will appeal to those wanting a vape that closely replicates the
smoking experience. With each pod lasting around a day and a straight-forward app that tracks use, the iSwitch MAXX
is primed for anyone making the switch.
