Puff Starbuzz Ultra Max 25K 6 mg/ml nicotine

The Puff Starbuzz Ultra Max 25K is an electronic cigarette with a rechargeable battery from the American brand Starbuzz. In a body of aluminium and stainless steel it brings together an 850 mAh battery, a built-in 2 ml tank and two 10 ml e-liquid refills, so 22 ml dosed at 6 mg/ml of nicotine. The manufacturer states up to 25,000 puffs for all of that liquid.

Layout: 2 ml + 2 x 10 ml

The Ultra Max 25K splits the liquid across two levels. The built-in tank, with a capacity of 2 ml (the ceiling set in France for a tank of nicotine-containing liquid), feeds the coil. The two 10 ml refills, supplied prefilled and clipped onto the device, in turn feed that tank. The display lets you follow the liquid level remaining.

The 25,000 puffs stated relate to the 22 ml supplied, and not to the tank capacity alone or to one battery charge. That figure, provided by the manufacturer, varies in practice with how long each inhale lasts and how far the airflow is open.

850 mAh battery and LED display

The built-in 850 mAh battery charges via USB-C port; the cable is not included in the box. The LED display shows the battery level and the liquid level. No button is needed to vape: the device fires on inhale.

0.6 ohm dual mesh coil and direct draw

Heating is handled by a 0.6 ohm double mesh coil (dual mesh). This type of coil, combined with a wide air intake, corresponds to a direct draw (DL): the vapour is inhaled straight to the lungs. An adjustable airflow ring lets you reduce or increase the air intake.

The nicotine strength is 6 mg/ml. On a direct-draw device, which produces a larger volume of vapour than a tight-draw device, manufacturers use lower strengths, since the amount of nicotine inhaled depends on both the concentration and the volume of vapour.

How to use

1. Charge the battery via the USB-C port before first use.
2. Fit the two 10 ml refills until they lock into place.
3. Wait a few minutes so the wick can soak up the liquid before the first inhale.
4. Set the airflow ring to the air intake you want.
5. Follow the battery and liquid levels on the display, and recharge the battery before it runs flat.

Other rechargeable models are grouped in the puff category.

Storage and recycling
