Thoughts On The Sxmini Puremax

[DMAN]

Fingers crossed it's ok.

Mine had the 0.6 pod from Avalanche Vapes and it leaks like a sieve even with 70/30 juice.

Apparently filling the pod detached from the mod can cause this which seems illogical, but this morning I filled up while it was installed in the device, started puffing right away and its gurgling and coming out the drip tip and seeping through the bottom of the pod.

A chap on Reddit had same issue and said to blow through the mouthpiece with a tissue underneath helps so did that but for a pod system I have never known one to be such a pain in the ass in such a short amount of time.

Have I got a dud lol as everyone else seems to be loving them.

I've not had that at all with 2 pods. Wife opened hers today so I'll keep an eye out. I did, however, get a bit of gurgling when I charged mine on it's side with the pod in. Wasn't bad or for long but it was there.

Do you fill with the pod installed on the device?

If the device has to be kept upright then they put the charger port in a stupid position didn't they

It could be that Avalanche has a large stock of the V1 pods, and that's why the device is so well priced. SXMini have release a revision of the pods that fixes the leaking issues.

That is very possible.

I will see if I can find a photo comparison.

At the moment I am tempted to order the Luxe XR Max and chalk this one off to a bad experience.

No, I take the pod out. Also using 70/30 juice in one and 50/50 in another. both 0.6 and both fine so far.

Maybe I have been unlucky here.

Just pinged Avalanche a mail to confirm if they are gen 1 or gen 2 pods.

If they are gen 1 they should be making it clearer on the product page.

Is the front fill an indication of the new pods? Because the ones I got from avalanche are front fill. Both the one that came with the device and the spares.

Not experienced any leaking, fwiw.

I haven't measured, but I feel like the ones I have are 2ml though, either that or it gets through the juice like billy-o.

Just found an old review and the V1s seem to be side filling so I think the front fill is the newer one. Seems like you might just have a dud @Mr.Motivapr
