Today I’m looking at a vape product with a difference. It’s the FEELM MAX disposable vape.
It does seem hard to believe but FEELM have been busy beavering away with ceramic coil tech since 2014. Under the umbrella of SMOORE, parent company of Vaporesso they’re committed to providing smokers with a much healthier and safer alternative to cigarettes.
So its taken years of painstaking research and development for FEELM to come up with a vaping solution capable of improving upon traditional materials commonly associated with heating E-liquid.
In 2021 the FEELM AIR was released. Its replaceable pods featured the worlds first ceramic coil technology and came with a host of original features, totally new to the vape market.
Time never stands still in the world of vaping and FEELM are fully aware of the impact of disposable vapes. Especially on the newer vaper.
FEELM products are only for sale to global vape brands, not for direct sale to consumers.
Vape brands can design and launch their disposable products based on the FEELM Max technology solution, and FEELM will provide OEM services to the brands.
Numerous world-leading vape brands have launched disposable products loaded with FEELM Max technology (such as RELX and NJOY).
It’s time we took a look at the FEELM MAX disposable vape.
The world’s first ceramic coil disposable vape.
What Can We Expect From the FEELM MAX Disposable Vapes?
FEELM are using these disposables to showcase their updated ceramic coil tech. They won’t be available to the general public. It’s important to mention this.
They’re actively encouraging manufacturers to make use of their ceramic coils. RELX, NJOY and HEXA among others have already jumped on board. In fact FEELM Inside was created for just such a reason, now reaching out across 50 countries worldwide.
The latest FEELM MAX disposables come in three designs. Cylindrical, box and flat.
I’ll go over the features of the latest S1 ceramic coil. Needless to say, FEELM have already improved upon their own statistics with this ground breaking tech.
More Puffs
Ceramic absorbs less E-liquid than cotton so there’s less wasted. This means the number of puffs is increased by 30% with the new S1 ceramic coil.
Cleaner taste, less impurities
After vaping, impurities are reduced by 78%, providing a cleaner, tastier vape in comparison to traditional cotton based disposable pods.
Ultimately cleaner
Moisture and sweetness often builds up on the lining of the tongue when using traditional cotton based vaping products. The FEELM MAX S1 coil leaves only a freshness on the tongue.
A smoother inhale
Vapour is comprised of fine particulates or aerosol. The larger the particulates, the harsher the effects on the throat.
The fineness of particle size is increased by 35% with the S1 ceramic coil, leading to a silky smooth inhale.
Flavour and vapour consistency
Who doesn’t crave that?
A 35% increase in taste consistency guarantees a reliable and enjoyable vape every time. This consistency is extended to vapour production. Expect a whopping 95% improvement over standard disposable vapes featuring cotton as their wicking material.
Transparent design
Finally, the FEELM MAX comes with a transparent viewing window so all the remaining E-liquid can be seen.
.. Always a plus, in my opinion.
Appearance and Presentation
I must admit I was pretty gobsmacked by the presentation box the FEELM Max Disposable Vapes arrived in.
At first I was pulling on the carry handle in my efforts to slide the contents out!
.. What a numpty!
The cylindrical shaped packaging, a clear nod to the cylindrical design of the disposable, opens out to reveal three samples carefully placed inside a foam stand.
The presentation is awesome so full kudos to FEELM for such thoughtful presentation here.
The disposables themselves are also encased inside a plastic vial with rubber stoppers each end to seal them for flavour freshness.
There’s not much to fault when it comes to design and build quality, either. This is your classic looking disposable vape.
What I like about them is the colour tinting on the mouthpiece/viewing window and underside. Orange, Green or Blue. Perfectly matching the colours of the disposables themselves.
It’s a simple idea but an effective one where it comes to appearance.

Ok it’s time for the acid test. Well, the vaping test actually. Not overly keen on vaping acid, me!
There are no flavour descriptions to work from so I’m going in blind folded. It’s going to be interesting how ceramic actually compares to traditional cotton wicking material in a disposable.
Please note: The scores represent my opinion of the flavours. In no way are they an indication of how well the disposable functions.
Berry Ice
I Say:
I Say:A veritable cocktail of fruits is delivered on the exhale accompanied by copious amounts of sweetness.
The sweetness of the vape tends to linger longer than the actual flavour properties. It hits the taste buds and lingers on the tongue – but in a rather pleasant way.
It doesn’t interfere with those mixed berries and actually compliments the mix.
I think Strawberry and Raspberry are the key players here. There may even be a dash of Blueberry thrown in there but generally this is a concoction of Summer fruits.
They all combine to create a nice fruity fusion and the Ice content is up there with any other self respecting disposable vape.
That’s to say it hits quite hard on the inhale.
Kyoho Grape
I Say:
I Say:Uh Oh! Some of you may be aware that I’m not the biggest fan of Grape vapes.
Unfortunately my opinion hasn’t changed today, whether Kyoho Grape or not.
But there does seem to be a difference and it’s significant enough. This version is nowhere near as sickly or sweet as I was expecting. Sure, there’s enough sweetness drawn into the inhale but it’s dispersed more effectively during the vape itself.
I’m not entirely sure if that has anything to do with aerosol and particulates but as much as I despise Grape vapes, Kyoho Grape certainly has a much cleaner taste.
You could also call it a refined taste yet not subtle in any way.
There does seem to be cursory levels of Koolada included but it’s quite low key. I honestly wish more manufacturers toned down the intensity of Ice in their vapes. But that’s just me.
I think if anything, Kyoho Grape demonstrates how well the S1 ceramic coil functions.
Lemon Lime
I Say:
I Say:Knock out!
This one steals the show and I’ll tell you why.
It’s incredibly refreshing. From the opening inhale and its cooling effect on the throat to the pure cleanliness of flavour on the way out.
Lemon Lime is a showcase for the effectiveness of the S1 ceramic coil. The sourness of the Lemon and tartness of the Lime are the lynchpin here, binding both fruits together.
Those fruits jump out of the vape in a way I don’t often experience. Again, neither is over saturated and there’s a perfect balance during exhale.
You would have to consider this a beverage style vape over a fruit inspired creation, in my opinion. The Koolada makes certain of that but I can be a picky sod by suggesting it tasers the tonsils a bit.
I’d definitely cool the engines on that score but it is what it is.
I’ve tried a few Lemon and Lime vapes in my time and I’m here to tell you.
This is definitely one of the most refreshing and natural tasting versions going.
Coil Performance
I’m highly impressed.
Every vape was as consistent for flavour as the last, I experienced no spit back or leaking of E-liquid into the mouth. There was no throat irritation and my tongue and mouth did actually feel more refreshed. Even after extensive vaping.
The S1 ceramic coil responded reliably right up to the last puff.
Battery Performance
It’s a 400mAh integrated battery so we can’t really expect miracles. Seven hours seems a fair duration given there were times I was chain vaping.
Number of Puffs
FEELM hasn’t stated the number of puffs but it’s safe to say you can expect anywhere in the region of 500.
Final Review Verdict
Flavour quality was awesome! I particularly liked the way in which sweetener was used. Not too intense while leaving a satisfactory mark on the ‘ole taste buds.
And oh how those flavours tasted clean. It’s hard to describe but they tasted more refined and consistent. It didn’t seem to taper off in the way standard disposables can.
The palate did always seem to retain a freshness instead of a stickiness, if that makes any sense.
Vapour production definitely needs a special mention.
The S1 ceramic coil certainly has the edge over standard cotton wicking. Not only was the inhale silky smooth but the cloud production was fantastic. Much more volume than I was expecting.
Flavour freshness instead of flavour intensity. That’s probably one way to describe the FEELM Max disposable vapes.
And if you ask me, I honestly think the S1 ceramic coil should be featuring in many, many more disposables vapes as we move forwards. Simply because the cleanliness of the exhale offers something completely new.
Incredible tech!
