The Freemax Gemm Starter Kit is the latest release from a brand that have recently produced some top quality tanks and kits. Namely the Freemax Twister and the Freemax Mesh Pro tank.
I received the Gemm Starter Kit in black but the kit does come in four other colours.
Knowing Freemax and how well the original Twister Kit sold (one of the best sub ohm vape pens available), it wouldn’t surprise me at all if you got some of those funky retro designs at a later date.
What Can We Expect From the Freemax Gemm Kit?
The Freemax Gemm 80W Starter Kit comes with a sizeable inbuilt 2900mAh battery in a small and very lightweight body and offers 40W, 60W and 80W output levels. Sitting atop the battery is the Gemm disposable Tank.
It’s an excellent size, lightweight, portable and a great starter kit for vape beginners or a great carry round for established vapers. One things for sure, you certainly don’t need to worry about your tank glass breaking!
All the disposable Tanks you get with the kit, or that you buy later, have a new diamond mesh structure and come with 90% Tea Fiber!
The Freemax Gemm 80W Starter Kit was sent to me for the purposes of review. As always, I will give you my own, honest opinion of this product after a lengthy testing period.

Design and Build Quality
Freemax Gemm 80W Mod
The Gemm is a very simple, tube style vape Mod. It has power settings to suit all types, except off course, the high wattage vaper, but then, this is a starter kit so why would it.
It’s a very simple design and very lightweight for a mod with a 2900mAh battery built in.
Despite the weight, the mod itself certainly doesn’t feel cheap or like it would fall apart with a strong gust of wind.
There is ample battery venting on the bottom of the Mod should anything overheat inside.
The build quality is excellent, the finish is superb. The kit is portable and sits in the hand with ease. The size makes for easy carrying in your pocket or bag.
The device itself is finished very nicely, no sharp corners or awkward protruding edges and not a hint of a rattle anywhere.
Fire Button
The fire button on this device is ideally placed to be used with either the finger or the thumb.
You press the button to instantly fire the device and five quick presses powers on and off the device.
By pressing the fire button three times, you can change the wattage output to either 40W, 60W or 80W depending on which tank you have fitted.
In addition to this, you have the LED intelligent light indicator to notify you of the battery level.
- Green – 65 to 100%
- Yellow – 30 to 65%
- Red – 0 to 30%
Freemax Gemm Tank
Ok, there is one thing that smacks you right in the kisser about this tank, it’s disposable, you simply vape it and throw it away.
Whilst I could go on about the whys and wherefores about climate change and saving the planet, I won’t because this is a vaping review. I’ll leave it upto you to decide if disposables are a yes or no.
For sheer ease of use and no messing, this tank is superb. What with the ease of use and paired with one of the superb Freemax coils, you are on to the flavour train for sure. I said that didn’t I, “flavour train” SMH.
The tank works well, it’s well designed with good airflow. There is nothing you can lose or smash off this tank except for maybe the rubber bung that is used to plug the juice port at the top, but you get spare ones of those.
Tea Fiber Cotton Coils
This is a patented design from Freemax that feature 90% Tea Fiber cotton (not heard of this before) and 10% Organic cotton mix. The coil is a diamond mesh pattern.
They say it’s delivered from 100% natural tea tree leaves, with a clean and healthy tea fragrance to refresh your flavours.
I say, who am I to argue. I mean, everyone loves tea right?
It’s said that this combination has been designed to provide a super smooth vape with and give you a fresher taste.
Well, I certainly wouldn’t argue with that! But more on the performance down below.
First, let’s have a quick look at how we fill the tank.
How To Fill The Freemax Gemm Tank
To fill these tanks up is an absolute breeze
- Lift up the rubber bung
- You will be met by a small ish fill port
- Replace bung and vape away
Freemax Gemm 80W Starter Kit
Freemax Gemm 80W Starter KitSo, the Freemax Gemm 80W Starter Kit is a tube Mod. A tube mod with an inbuilt 2900mAh battery.
Again, just like the Freemax Twister, I can see this being a big winner.
It’s faultless in it’s mere basicness (is that even a word?). This is mainly aimed at a vaper who is at the beginning of their vaping journey. That being said, I would see this being used by even the most seasoned vapers that want something small, light and portable.
You aren’t going to smash the tank and I can imagine the main body of the device will stand up to a bit of a battering.
You will get people who won’t even consider this device because of the disposable tank “think of the planet”. But it is what it is and does it’s job superbly.
How does the Freemax Gemm 80 Starter Kit Perform?
The kit performs very well indeed. No messy settings to trawl through, three wattage settings to suit most vapers needs and no temperature control or other menu settings.
As you would expect, you get all the regular protections you need.
Battery Life
I got around four hours of vape time from the 2900mAh battery using the highest setting at 80W. Now I don’t think that is bad at all.
Super super easy to use, no messing about changing coils. Just use your tank and wait until the flavour drops off, unscrew, throw away and get another tank. As easy as that.
Flavour and Vapour Production
Again, Freemax have knocked this out of the park with flavour. Both tanks used have been top quality, they really have.
Now they have thrown these tea leaves into the equation, they seem to have stretched the ceiling when it comes to flavour that little bit more.
Again, testing the Gemm Tank against some of my favourite RTA tanks it matches some and in some cases, beats them.
Cloud production isn’t bad if that’s your bag. You can, if your lungs are big enough, throw out some pretty big cloudage.
The main tank I used for testing was the G2 Mesh Coil 0.2ohm 40-80W. It’s coming up to two weeks now, vaping daily and I am still getting excellent flavour from it.
G1 Mesh Coil 0.15ohm 40-80W
As you can see, the G1 coil is the single coil from the Freemax Gemm Tank range.
I vaped Lemonz Cloudy Mutha in this at 60 VG 40PG. The flavour is as good now as when I started nearly two weeks ago though I admit, I have used the G2 coil more, as you will see from the pictures.
There is no hint of a dry hit when chain vaping. The coil head remains moist all the time without a problem.
G2 Mesh Coil 0.2ohm 40-80W
As you can see, the G2 coil is a dual coil tank from the Freemax Gemm range.
This one is certainly looking a little worse for wear but I have really hammered it throughout my two weeks testing. The flavour is still the same now as when I first started.
How long it remains, we shall see.
I used a Flavour Boss (DIY Liquid) Super Manchee Black Edition mixed at 80VG 20PG.
Again, no dry hits after chain vaping. It really has been a pleasure to vape.
Below you can see the full range of Freemax Gemm Tanks that will be available. I certainly can’t wait to try the triple mesh coil G3 Gemm Tank.
Pros
Pros- Great build quality
- First class Flavour
- Easy to use
- Quick firing Mod
- Small tube Size
- Good Battery Life
Cons
- Small fill port
Final Review Verdict
I’ve loved testing the Freemax Gemm 80W Starter Kit, I really have. On receiving this I thought, oh, it’s another starter kit but I can honestly say it’s been a pleasure.
The kit has pretty decent battery life and adequate settings for a new vaper or as an out and about carry.
Although the Gemm Tanks are throw away plastic, I could not have been happier with them, the flavour really is top notch and the only way for you to find out would be to buy some, but, take my word for it, top notch!
Did you buy the Freemax Gemm kit? What did you think? disposable your thing? Let us know in the comments below.
My Gemm won’t charge, or fire. No matter what tank is on it. Only flashes red 3x when trying to fire. Charging, it turns on red, then turns off.
The only downside to the Gemm is the opacity of the tank. I have the purple version, and the only way to see the level of the oil in the tank is to shine a bright light behind it. The tank is too opaque, and while it looks good, this is problematic when both checking to see if it’s time to refill it and actually refilling it, which becomes a bit messy.
The tanks need to be much clearer, so it’s easy to check the oil level and not so messy to refill.
Hi would you reccomend the single coil or the dual for flavour? Usually vape around 40w
If you are vaping at a low wattage of 40W which is the lowest setting, I don’t think there would be a lot of difference between the two. If you were vaping on the highest setting, I would say the G2 coils but only just.
I am waiting for release so I can buy the triple mesh coil tank
I have a box of 2 atomisers, It says read the leaflet b4 u use but there’s no leaflet. In the box So mine leaked from the bung have I over filled it?
Ok,
I’ll take your advice & try 1 out at 6ml & see how I go with that.
These 2 haha “Machines” I call them I can use Nic Salts with. Haven’t tried any yet, but I’ll get some at some point to sample.
I checked out your Youtube last night & watched a load of videos. Good stuff! No prima donna, I’m a superstar shit like most. I’ll subscribe & whatever else, also.
Will take a look at the Falcon preview.
Thanks for the information & taking the time to reply.
Haha…one more thing. Any Milkshake flavours you’d recommend?
Thank you.
Uhm, milkshake flavours, I couldn’t really recommend any tbh as that’s not really my thing and I don’t ever recall having any for review, sorry 🤔
Hiya,
Thanks very much for your reply.
Yep, It was the 1 thing I wasn’t sure about. How I juggle the nicotine level. The shortfills only ever allow you to go to 6MG. As I mentioned, the 12Mg just doesn’t give me the hit I’m after, but, the 18mg is decent enough with a longer draw.
I’ll do as suggested & get the empty bottle & mix my own to make the 18Mg. How many 10ml shots would I need to make the 18Mg with 50 ml of juice?
I got the Aspire Breeze 2 about 6 weeks ago & then the Uwell Caliburn 2 weeks ago. The Breeze is a piece of junk compared & when I tried the Caliburn, I knew I could stop smoking. I do still like a dirty fag when I get up with Coffee, though. Standing outside when it’s wet is no fun, so I will pack it in eventually. Smoked 20 or more a day for around 20 years & I’ve bought 60 in the last fortnight. Getting there!!
You see all the other liquids available & I’m restricted with these pod systems I have using the higher PG. If I can use anything in this, It’s more or less perfect. I don’t want the hassle of changing coils, charging batteries separately & certainly don’t have the patience or eyesight to be building my own coils etc.
On the other hand, this is addictive in it’s own way. I have seen good things about the Falcon King Tank. They have a stick kit on the way…HORIZONTECH FALCON PEN KIT…can you do a review?
Cheers!
Hi,
Well, you could add the required nicotine to a 50ml shortfill but you would be diluting down the flavour considerably. In my opinion, shortfills are basically designed to have a maximum of 6mg nicotine strength. Thats where nicotine salts come in with 20mg nicotine content. Personaly, I would suggest something like the Aspire AVP which I have done a review on, you can vape Nic Salts, 20mg in there with great flavour and longevity of the pod life.
We have the Falcon Pen Kit review here.
Hiya,
You could certainly use 50/50 or 60/40 liquids in this tank.
As for 12MG, it could be a little harsh if you are using freebase nicotine. If you were using Nic Salts, then I don’t think there would be a problem.
The best way to make your required higher nicotine strength is to maybe buy an empty 100ml bottle, put your desired strength nicotine into it then pour your 50ml shortfill into that, that way you can get a higher nicotine strength. Don’t forget though, the more nicoting you are putting into your liquid, you dilute the flavour down a little.
I hope I helped a little. If you have any more questions, there are some great beginner guides on ecigclick or you can just reply here and I would be happy to help.
Congratulations on being a new vaper, I will say it’s not easy but stick with it and you will get there
Been looking to buy this since I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Still only pre-order worldwide.
It looks absolutely perfect for what I want. Unfortunately I’m in the U.K. so we get the smaller tanks.
Could I use 50/50 or 60/40 PG liquids with this? I’ve just recently started vaping & don’t think I could manage without less than 18MG Nicotine. I had a few bottles of 12MG juices that were free with the pod I bought, but, it’s like puffing on fresh air. I know I could buy the high VG shortfill bottles & add Nictotine shots, but you only get 6MG max.
Great site by the way!
