REVIEW

SPECIFICATIONS :

Integrated 450mAh battery Disposable pod system Leak-free 2 ml e-liquid capacity Averages 550 puffs per kit
BECO MATE DISPOSABLE
Draw-activated
Words : Paul Johnson
The small pocket-sized vape was nice and light , offering a pleasant , slightly restrictive draw and a comfortable mouthpiece .
Overall , the Beco MATE put in a solid performance for me , providing a range of flavours that could appeal to vapers of a variety of different flavour preferences .
On a general note when we talk about disposable devices like this , we mean that they are not rechargeable or refillable .
They cannot be put in the recycling bin as they contain lithium batteries which must be disposed of at your local recycling centre or specialist battery collection points .
The packaging on the Frunk Bar shows a crossed out wheely bin to denote that the device is not to be home recycled and should be taken to your local recycling point . This is a plus point but the labels on the packaging of several other disposables are not as clear .
Alongside the device itself , I reviewed six of the available flavours , ranging from a traditionalist tobacco to fresh and crispy apple .
Premium Menthol
Great minty flavour , not to overpowering on the draw and sweet - much like Polo mints .
Mango Ice
This one I struggled with , as the mango , whilst there , was very thin in flavour . The ice on the inhale was not too strong and lacked any depth .
Lush Ice
In a complete contrast to the Mango Ice , the Lush Ice was bursting with fresh watermelon straight from the get-go and the ice was strong and refreshing , giving it a good throat hit .
Crispy Apple
A nice and fresh apple vape flavour . It was sweet and genuinely juicy , creating a naturally-tasting apple that didn ’ t feel artificial – think Granny Smiths .
Strawberry Burst
Another strong flavour , the Strawberry Burst was jam-packed with that strawberry flavour , all without feeling artificial .
Again , this was somewhat juicy , much like fresh ripe strawberries .
Golden Tobacco
I do like my tobacco vapes and this didn ’ t disappoint . The rich , deep and oaky flavour was smooth and had a slight throat hit . It reminds me of an award-winning vape from Café Racer .
PROS
- Good flavour range to appeal to a wide variety
CONS
- Mango was thin on flavour of vapers . - A solid device
