Vaporesso Dojo Blast 10K

Twenty-six flavours, all at 20mg: cold fruits, sodas, a menthol and a tobacco, the usual big-puff spread done with Vaporesso flavour. The iced fruits are the bestsellers. A sample:

There is almost nothing to set up. The device arrives prefilled with a pod already seated, so you charge it if it needs it, take it out of the box and inhale. It is draw-activated, so there are no buttons to learn, though there is a boost setting if you want a slightly warmer, punchier hit. The first few draws on a fresh pod can taste a touch faint while the coil wicks fully, so give it a minute and a couple of gentle puffs and the flavour comes up to strength.

Day to day, the transparent pod is the feature you end up using most. A glance tells you how much liquid is left, so you can plan a swap rather than being caught out, and because the device recharges over USB-C you are never throwing away a working battery when the liquid runs low. Keep it out of a hot car or direct sun and store spare pods upright in their packaging, and the prefilled liquid holds its flavour right down to the last of the 10ml. When a pod tastes faint or a touch burnt and looks empty, that is the cue to swap it rather than push on, since vaping a dry coil is where harsh notes come from.

The Dojo Blast makes its case on cost and waste. At 5 kits for £28.99 it is about £5.80 a device, and each does the work of several single-use bars before you even swap the pod. Once you own one, you only buy replacement pods at around £3.40 each, so the running cost drops well below a disposable habit where every device is a few pounds and lasts a day or two.

There is an environmental angle too. A disposable is a battery and a circuit board in the bin every couple of days, whereas the Dojo Blast is one rechargeable device you keep, with only the small pod as a consumable. If you are moving off single-use bars for cost or conscience, a rechargeable prefilled kit like this is the natural halfway house between a disposable and a full refillable setup.

If you want a disposable-style vape without the disposable waste or cost, yes. It keeps the no-effort feel, prefilled and draw-activated, but recharges and takes replacement pods, so the cost per puff drops well below a run of single-use bars. At 5 kits for £28.99 it is about £5.80 each, and Vaporesso's coil makes the flavour a cut above many big-puffs.

It is prefilled, so you are tied to the 26 Dojo flavours and 20mg, with no option to fill your own or step down the strength. If you want that freedom, a refillable XROS 5 is the way, and the matching Dojoliq bottles let you keep the same flavours in a fillable kit. For sheer ease at a low price though, the Dojo Blast does the job well. For even longer runs, the IVG XL 35K does 35,000 puffs.
