In this short review we will look at “long-lasting” disposable 3500 puffs with the ability to charge from the young Chinese brand AOKPRO.
Thanks to the manufacturer AOKPRO for providing the devices for review.
AHTUNG! All text below is only an expression of private and subjective opinion; your idea of tastes may differ greatly from what is described below. e-cigarettes online boutique in canada Remember that depending on the atomizer, the blowing direction, the winding used and the astringency of the grapes, the impression of the mixes can vary greatly.
Although, according to the words of the manufacturer itself, Shenzhen Aoke Technology Co.,LTD is a company with seven years of experience, previously engaged primarily in development and production within the framework of OEM and ODM. According to the manager, a couple of the company’s engineers, among other things, own Tesla Spider (no, not the famous electric car, but a small “Egoshka” with voltage regulation from Taslacig), Tesla Sidewinder, Sikary Spod, Sikary Spark (the same Nanostix for the manufacturer of Fantasi liquid from Malaysia) . And so, the company decided to enter the market under its own brand AOKPRO and, to begin with, introduced three disposable devices: AOKPRO 600, AOKPRO 800 and AOKPRO 3500. It is with the largest that we will get acquainted in this review.
APKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod Packaging
Each disposable is in an individual cardboard box, which has its own color characteristic of the taste, an illustration of the mix and an image of the device on the left side wall. Naturally, there is the manufacturer’s logo, and a large inscription 3500, and the name of the taste, and the strength (5%, i.e. 50 mg/ml), as well as the volume (10ML) and the type of coil – MESH COIL. The manufacturer in its marketing materials especially emphasizes the main advantage of the device: First puff to last puff same taste – “the same taste from the first to the last puff.” On the back, the characteristics are listed in sufficient detail (this is the first time I have encountered such a meticulous disposable liquid), the composition of the liquid (for some reason they forgot to mention nicotine), warnings, company details and the standard Made in China.
Inside the box, each device is sealed in a sealed bag with a warning label on one side and the manufacturer’s logo on the other. What’s nice is that not a single device leaked; everything inside was completely dry. There are cuts for easy opening, so you don’t have to look for scissors.
Appearance and features of APKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod
Here, I admit, I even find it difficult to describe the appearance of the device and think of what it can be compared with. Probably, the AOKPRO 3500 disposable bottles are most similar to bottles with a high neck. The body is made of plastic: the upper part is translucent and heavily darkened, the lower part is black, but between them there is a metal tube painted in one of the same colors as the box. The weight is pleasantly heavy (but difficult to hold in your teeth without hands), the coating has a pleasant soft-touch effect, it lies comfortably in the hand and does not slip. At the top of the metal jacket there is a cutout in the shape of a thermometer (really similar?), through which you can control the level of the remaining liquid. Or you can simply tilt the device – the container continues to the mouthpiece.
Aokpro’s Instagram boasts a dozen flavors, and the Ice console dazzles the eyes in 7 out of 10 cases. However, there is nothing unusual here; this is a completely standard picture for almost any manufacturer of disposable devices with strong nicotine. True, there was a slight embarrassment, and for some reason I had a Blackberry Lemon in the box labeled as Pink Lemon. The taste is not stated anywhere at all.

In the new device, the mouthpiece is covered with a silicone plug, the air intake holes are covered with a sticker, all together this protects the device from leaks during transportation. I’ll warn you right away that you shouldn’t throw away the white plug; it will help protect the device from dust and your pockets from possible condensation. The mouthpiece is quite wide and thick, has a round shape and a decent internal hole, as if its diameter immediately hints at a semi-hookah puff. At the bottom, next to the air intake holes, there is a micro USB charging connector. Probably, this could be included in the complaint, because almost all manufacturers of both mobile phones (except Apple) and vaping devices switched to Type-C long ago, and there is no cable included with the device.
Charging the AOKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod
When tightened, a white LED becomes visible through one of the holes; it is not bright and can be easily covered with the palm of your hand. The device arrives already charged, but since the battery is extremely small (only 600 mAh), the device will have to be charged several times before you finish the entire volume of filled liquid. But this will have to be done for a long time and slowly – when connected to the charger, the current consumption was only 0.4A. But the electronics in the AOKPRO 3500 support the paste mode, i.e. You don’t have to wait for the full charge to finish.
APKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod Flavors
The manufacturer Aokpro “generously” provided me with four out of ten flavors (or is it already eleven?), I will tell you about them below. Since the strength of the filled liquid is very high, even these four had to be tested in several “approaches”.
Inside each disposable device there is a battery containing a reactive alkali metal – lithium. Such batteries should not be thrown away with household waste, but should be taken for recycling or special disposal.
APKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod APPLE ICE
When you open the bag, the disposable smells of green apple pulp, slightly tinged with cider. When paired, the taste is more reminiscent of not just green and sour, but also an unripe apple with a distinct taste of skin and sweet-tasting but sour-smelling pulp. And, of course, with an impressive portion of cold on the exhale, which freezes not so much the throat as the palate and tongue. And so, very tasty.
APKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod GRAPE ICE
The taste is of sweet grape pulp with a slight hint of astringent skin in the background and somewhere in the aftertaste. Yes, this is the same easily recognizable Isabella, who is always and everywhere perceived perfectly. With a slight alcoholic tint and a decent portion of cooler on the exhale, which freezes your brain in the back of your head by the third puff. The aftertaste is cold-sweet, like a classic Malaysian cooler, so it would be possible to write Nasty Juice Asap Grape and sell it as such.
APKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod PEACH ICE
The smell is pure peach compote, fresh, cold and very sweet. The pairing tastes like peach skin, practically without pulp, green and with a tart aftertaste, aromatic and sweet, so much so that it’s more like jam. And, of course, terribly cold, as if the skin had been scraped off a frozen fruit, sprinkled with frosted sugar and served to you as a dessert. I must admit that it is very tasty. And cold!
APKPRO 3500 Disposable Pod BLACKBERRY LEMON
“Nezhdanchik” in the form of a flavor that is not in the manufacturer’s assortment is actually not very different from “pink lemonade.” The pair is dominated by lemon with zest, which has the taste of candied fruit, but without losing the acidity of fresh citrus. The berry is felt very faintly, and even then mainly the sweetness of the jam, and which one exactly is quite difficult to make out due to the lemon and cold. Yes, there is no Ice in the name, which does not mean that the cooler was spared here. Here it is weaker than in previous mixes (or am I just used to it?), but also punchy. Lemon with berries, very good.
Impression
I will try to briefly outline comments, thoughts and suggestions to the manufacturer. Let’s start with the last ones. The connector should be changed to the current Type-C, the charging current should be increased, the tightening should be made tighter (in my opinion, of course) and control over what the packer puts in the box should be strengthened. Although maybe it was intended that way? What if the manufacturer decided to please me with a new taste, but I just don’t know and whine in vain? I don’t know.
The puff is “semi-hookah-MTL”, the device does not spit, condensation does not leak. Although sometimes after a long break, on the first breath, you get the feeling that something is gurgling inside. But already with the second puff everything goes away. Judging by the tastes, I can say that they are all bright, terribly cold and wildly reminiscent of mixes from Nasty Juice or Fantasi (these are generally thermonuclear!). Moreover, not only the cooler, but also the flavors used. At least this is true for the samples sent to me. In general, it’s very good! There are no complaints about the strength, the promised 5% is perfectly felt, although there is a slight bitterness. Which is quite expected with such a concentration of nicotine.
In general, I found this disposable format convenient. Due to the small battery, the size is small, but there is a charger, and a volume of 10 ml can be enough for many users for a couple of weeks of leisurely vaping (you won’t be able to rush with 50 mg/ml).
