FreeMax Autopod 50W Kit Review

Spread the love

The Autopod50 was sent to me by Freemax for the purpose of this review. According to Freemax, the Autopod50 is the world’s first double mesh coil pod mod kit. It uses Freemax’s latest FM COILTECH 4.0 coils which are made with military-grade SS904L mesh and tea fiber cotton. The Autopod50 has a nice form factor, variable wattage up to 50W, and a 2000mAh battery. It also has adjustable airflow. The pod will hold 4ml of ejuice and takes replaceable coils. Lets see how it vapes in this review.

Design & Quality

Overall, the Autopod50 is not a small pod kit like SMOK Novo 2 or Vaporesso XTRA, but it is still a portable kit. I can put it in my pockets easily. I love the rounded design, which fits my hands and it feels pretty comfortable.

The small OLED display is black and white. It’s clear and bright even when I’m outdoors in the sun. The buttons have a chrome finish that holds fingerprints but they’re nice buttons overall. They’re firm but responsive and make an audible click when pressed.

The pod magnetically attaches to the battery and sits securely in place. There’s absolutely no wiggle at all when the pod is seated. Even shaking the device around doesn’t move the pod.

In a word, nice design and quality.

Autopod50 Device

The Autpod50 came with a 2000mAh built-in battery with a maximum wattage output of 50W and works by button-activated firing. Getting it set up to vape with is easy and straightforward. When you first take it out of the box, the 0.25ohm coil will be preinstalled in the pod. There’s a little sticker on the bottom of the coil that has to be removed before use so remove the pod and take that off. Here are some easy operations:

  • Power ON/OFF: Press the fire button five times.
  • Lock adjustment buttons: Hold both adjustment buttons together. The screen will display “KEY LOCK”. Do the same to unlock.
  • Flip screen orientation: Hold the fire button and down adjustment button together.
  • Open the menu: Press the fire button three times. The “SET” menu lets you change your screen timeout, clear your puff counter, or clear your puff time. “INFO” allows you to view your battery voltage, board temperature, and firmware version.

Pod & Coils

The pod is able to hold 4ml juice, which is enough for my whole day vaping. The drip tip on the Autopod50 is built into the pod and non-removable. Personally, I like this drip tip. But the pod is too dark to check the ejuice level easily. The fill port is just wide enough for thick, pointy tip nozzles but I would have liked it to be wider.

The Autopod50 uses FM COILTECH 4.0 coils. These are similar to the coils released for the M Pro 2 and Fireluke 3 but they’re NOT cross-compatible. Freemax claims that these coils should last for 30-40 refills which is absolutely nuts!

These coils screw into a coil base and then screw into the bottom of the pod. This coil base has dual-slot adjustable airflow control. There’s knurling around the coil base to make adjusting the airflow easier. The AFC ring turns smoothly and with little effort but has enough resistance to stay wherever it’s set.

The Autopod50 comes with two coils:

  • A 0.25ohm AX2 Mesh Coil, Rated for 30-50W (Best at 40W).
  • A 0.5ohm AX2 Mesh Coil, Rated for 15-35W (Best at 30W).

Performance

The 0.25ohm coil: Freemax stated that this coil is best at 40W and I found it to perform optimally at 38W which is quite close. Flavor is extraordinary and the vapor production is huge, while the airflow was only slightly closed.

The 0.5ohm coil is a more spaced out mesh than the other coil and as a result, the flavor isn’t quite as good. 30W is the best wattge for flavor and vapor production, just like what Freemax stated. Overall, flavor is very good but not quite as good as the 0.25ohm coil.

The vapor production is very good for both coils, that is a good news for DL vapers who want a pod mod.

FreeMax also promoted the coils are able to support 30-40 fills, which is an unbelievable result if you did not test it. Honestly, I did not believe that at first. While when I had 10 fills, I did not feel any decrease on flavor, it worked just like a new coil. Then 15, 20 fills, ok there was a slight difference…I believe it is able to support at least 27 fills.

For the battery life, based on my experience, the fully charged battery is able to support 250-300 puffs when the wattage is around 38W. That means a whole day vaping support for me. Of course, if you are a heavey vaper, you may charge it twice a day. Thanks for the type C fast charging port, you can get it fully charged in around 80 minutes.

Pros & Cons
