this is a compromise to achieve such an inconspicuous
weight and form factor. As a device that is clearly aimed
at smokers, the choice to favour a lightweight design
makes sense.

could not be simpler. This draw-activated device has no adjustable

the day.
The full 2ml capacity is a nice consumer-friendly touch. Each pod lasted me just more than
a day as a primary device.
The hardware is certainly up to scratch, but flavour selection is just as important with pre-filled
pods. We sampled the following:
Raspberry Frost: A moderately sweet candy, with an icy finish and soothing throat hit.
Menthol: Mildly sweet with a strong cooling finish.
Blueberry: A mellow candy blueberry, with hints of earthy sweetness and some sticky body.
Tobacco: Light and smoky with moderate sweetness and some mild nutty notes.
Mango: A pungent and sweet beverage-style mango with great throat hit.
All the flavours were well-executed and make for a well-rounded line-up. There are many more flavours still to come.
The HEXA V2.0 is a great all-round closed pod system, with good vape quality and a nice selection of flavours. It’s a
great option for new vapers but also for veterans who need a hassle-free backup device. The Hybrid Nicotine formula
works well and will likely be a big hit with those making the transition from traditional cigarettes.
