Review of Disposable Turbo MAX. Your personal maximum

Today I hasten to share information about the line of relatively new devices on the vape market. We are talking about disposable 2200 puffs called Turbo MAX.

I express my gratitude to the official representative office and importer in Russia – Turbo-pods LLC – for providing the devices for testing

Features Turbo MAX

Just as theater begins with a wardrobe, any consideration of a device begins with packaging. In the case under consideration, she, like many of her “classmates,” is bright, and even with a pleasant reflection to the eye. vape storage in new zealand The front part of the cardboard box is occupied by the names of the line and the specific flavor in English (with duplication in Russian), some features (more on them below in the text) and a large drawing of the components that we will get to try.

On the left, in the form of embossing, there is an outline of the device itself with brief characteristics, on the right there is a large inscription “Can be charged” (already nice), at the bottom there is a QR code with a function to check for originality. The back of the package contains the composition (PG/VG, American flavors and 19 mg/ml salt nicotine), recommendations and warnings for use, contacts of the manufacturer and importer, production date (mine is 01/2022) and expiration date, links to social networks and product barcode.

Turbo Max 2200 disposable kit

We open the box – it contains a branded bag with the device and a short USB Type-C cable. Let’s print it out and take a closer look.

Appearance of the disposable Turbo Max 2200

The disposable bag itself is made of plastic, covered with a pleasant soft-touch and has an interesting oblong shape with a 12-sided triangle at the base.

The upper part is narrowed for more comfortable use and is closed with a silicone plug. On the “carcass” of the device the taste is duplicated (in text and graphics), a mention of the name of the line and charging markings. At the bottom there is a small sticker with a hint about removing it before use. We do as we are told – under the sticky piece of paper we see a charging port, two holes for air intake and a small LED inside them. It serves as an indicator of the operation and filling process of the battery.

Traditionally, before testing such devices, I connected a charger with a current of 2.0 A to each of them in turn. The charging process took an average of 15 minutes, after which the LED goes out, signaling the end of the process.

Description of Turbo MAX flavors

Disposable Turbo Max 2200

The entire line includes 30 unique flavors. I only got 5 of them for testing, so we can only guess about the rest.

Inside each 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.

Turbo MAX – Strawberry/Pineapple/Orange

Manufacturer’s description: “Tropical fruits mixed with natural aromatic strawberries will give you a sweet and sour, but at the same time juicy taste of pleasure”

The pineapple is definitely caught first. It is juicy, ripe, and quite similar to the taste of the juice of the same name, which everyone has probably tried in their lives. Then comes a very clear, but at the same time unobtrusive sourness of the orange, even with a small amount of flavor from the bright zest. Strawberries as such were not noticed – perhaps they are “background” here, serving as a softening component. However, to clearly state that there is a berry here, I’m speechless.

Turbo MAX – Guava / Passion Fruit / Pineapple

Manufacturer Description: “An excellent combination of sour passion fruit, juicy guava and sweet pineapple. The refreshing tropical taste will pick you up and take you to distant hot countries”

As in the previous taste, there is a very strong pineapple here. And, it seems to me, its dominance is undeniable, because this refreshing and juicy fruit has literally seized the initiative. But this does not mean that he is here alone – no, he is not. Guava and passion fruit are also present, they have slightly merged into one and delight with their sweet and bright juice. If only the proportions could be corrected a little, it would be absolutely gorgeous, although in essence it’s quite good.

Turbo MAX – White Peach / Mineral Water

Manufacturer’s description: “Pleasant sweetness of a delicate juicy peach with the effect of small bursting bubbles”

Mineral water flavored liquid? I didn’t confuse anything: from English mineral water – mineral water. And even with a white variety of peach, the taste of which I had never even dreamed of… In fact, we get the following. The fruit feels more than ordinary, neither white nor black – before us is the simplest ruddy fruit with a very soft and light taste in its own way. As for soda – yes, there is a feeling that there is something like that, only without the “gaziki”. It’s not easy to put it into words, but believe me, it’s as unusual and worthy of attention as possible.

Turbo MAX – Cherry / White Grape / Blue Raspberry

Manufacturer’s description: “The soft taste of ripe cherries combined with forest sweet blackberries and sweet and sour white grapes will definitely make a pleasant impression on you”

Not the most common trio. White grapes (is it like a white peach, only grapes?) and cherries are generally quite rare guests. And here we are together. Let’s figure it out. Blackberries (more like blueberries, but to hell with that) are very cool, literally like real ones, just picked from a small bush in the forest. And, attention, simply high-quality cherries, filled with sun and juice, with pleasant sourness and a sea of ​​taste! Grape? Well, it probably got lost somewhere… But even without it, the taste turned out to be simply excellent!

Turbo MAX – Sakura/Grape

Manufacturer’s description: “An unusual combination of delicate sweet sakura and tart grapes will give an interesting aroma and a pleasant aftertaste”

I don’t undertake to indicate exactly what sakura tastes like. Google says it should resemble a cherry “on steroids.” Let’s check. Well, yes, the one who is always advised to help is not deceiving: a persistent cherry taste, only it is softer in the background, and in terms of its fullness it is somewhat similar to caramel. More than interesting, definitely. Afterwards, the grapes stand out no worse, rather their dark variety, a little tart and slightly sour, but of high quality and well executed. The duo is undoubtedly good-looking.

Conclusions

The guys from Turbo Pods claim in their Telegram channel that the Turbo MAX line is the best thing that happened in 2021. You know, I don’t presume to assert, but I won’t refute either. Judging by the five tastes tested, the devices really turned out very good: decent and pleasant taste, interesting mixes, presentation of goods, ergonomics of the device itself, charging capabilities – all this really allows them to occupy dominant positions on the shelves of vape shops.

And at the end, a small (literally and figuratively) spoiler for some continuation of the history of the Turbo brand…
