Acrohm are newcomers to the hardware market but have already
made a splash in the vaping community with their FUSH mod, an
unconventional direct output tube device that was equal parts semi-
mech and glowstick. It’s 2019, so naturally a pod system variant was
inevitable, but is the FUSH Nano a compelling choice, or a flashy
gimmick?
Construction, fi t and fi nish are among the best in class for pod
systems. With a combination of thick polycarbonate and stainless
steel, the Nano is light and robust. Finishing throughout the chassis
is immaculate and smooth, resulting in an end product that feels
more premium than many of its competitors.
User experience is very simplistic, with some additional LED
functionality, as you would expect from an Acrohm product. You can
either use the FUSH Nano as a draw-activated device at 7W or press
the bottom-mounted fi ring button to bump the power up to 10W.
Aside from this, you can press the button three times to power the
huge array of LEDs on/off and shake the device to switch between
colours. Refi lling the 1.5ml pods is easy and mess-free with the
bottom-mounted valve mechanism, though I am told the fi nal retail
model will do away with this method in favour of threaded top-fi ll. In
any case, I’ve not experienced a single drop of leaking from my pods
during testing and they keep up with 50/50 e-liquids without issue,
though I would be hesitant to use more viscous blends since there’s
not much room for wicking.
What about vape quality, though? When using the FUSH Nano
as a draw-activated device at 7W, expect to get a cool vape
with a loose MTL draw and moderate flavour production. I feel
this output is best suited to markets that allow for 20+mg/ml
e-liquids. Firing the device with the bottom-mounted button
provides much warmer vapour at 10W, with superior flavour.
PROS
- Great build quality
- Impressive run time

CONS
Filled with 20mg/ml salt nicotine e-liquids, I found this method to
produce a satisfying throat hit and, as a result, I did not fi nd myself
going back to the draw-activated power setting. I wouldn’t say this
is one of the top performing systems in terms of flavour, but it’s no
slouch either.
The 550mAh cell lasts a touch longer than I would usually expect,
likely owing to the conservative power output of the device. I found
the FUSH Nano to last just shy of a full day’s vaping on a charge
when fi lled with 20mg/ml e-liquids and the device charges from flat
to full in just over half an hour, which is perfectly fi ne considering the
run time.
In summary, the FUSH Nano is a competent, if slightly novel, pod
system. I’m not personally a fan of the LED light show functionality
but fortunately that can be disabled rather easily. The construction,
combined with vape quality, make for a competent stealth vape that I
can see becoming quite popular. This is a good option for those who
want to try something a little different to the standard fare.
