First Impressions

On first unboxing the Maxus 100W kit you can tell the build quality is definitely there. The device feels very sturdy yet compact with its 269.5g weight behind it. Although the device isn't the most ergonomic sub-ohm kit I've held, it's up there with Geekvape devices for it's strong build. Regarding strength and robustness, the buttons on this device are something that I really do like, they feel extremely strong and require a heavier than normal pressure to click them which is something I'm sure would require a lot to do accidentally. All three buttons on the device have a very appealing clicky feel once pressed and the brushed finish ensures your fingers do not slip.

Aesthetically, the non-matching resin panel is definitely out there! I personally think this will be deciding point for people regarding the Maxus 100W device. I personally really like the Black-Red colour, the one I'm reviewing although I would have preferred solid basic colours. Talking of the resin panel, this is also removable to reveal the battery compartment. This panel is held on very securely with two strong magnets located on the top and bottom of the panel.

Moving further into the battery section of the Maxus 100W, there are some amazing perks... The device features 'SmartLoad' technology for full battery polarity, this means that it doesn't matter which way the battery is inserted as the Maxus 100W will automatically alter! In addition, Freemax have included an 18650 battery connector which means the device takes the full spectrum of rechargeable batteries including 18650, 20700 and 21700. The battery connector works alongside the SmartLoad technology meaning it doesn't matter which way you input your battery across the board.

Although the maximum 100W is selectable on all batteries inserted, it's always important to check your battery output to ensure you do not over drain your battery!.. Especially if using an 18650 battery.

As it now seems the industry norm, the Maxus 100W has implemented USB-C charging, which for a single battery mod is definitely something great to see as it will obviously not last as long in comparison to dual battery devices. Which means that you now have full choice between changing your battery or charging directly through USB-C.

Another area that Freemax have created perfectly is the latest OLED screen on the Maxus 100W. The layout creates a very easy to follow navigation whilst also showing clear and clean readouts across the board. It would have been nice to have brightness adjustment but all these amazing benefits do already come on a single battery device!

Overall it's clear to see that Freemax have really created a solid and sturdy single battery sub-ohm device, but the next important question your going to surely have is how does it vape and what's new with the Fireluke 3 tank?....

Tank & How It Vapes

On first inspection you can feel the build quality straight away. Built with a combination of stainless steel and resin, with the top of the tank and drip tip utilising smooth buffed type resin the whole tank has a solid and smooth feel. I really think this is definitely created to last, just like my Fireluke Mesh still going strong to date!

The tank glass is obviously TPD compliant which breaks my heart every time as the bubble glass looks gorgeous! However saying this, the TPD tank glass provided feels just as strong as the the rest of the tank alongside a diamond cut style.

The biggest improvement and selling point for the Fireluke 3 is the top sliding fill port. I, for one, had problems on the original Fireluke Mesh design with this due to it sliding open in my pocket on occasions. This was also a problem reported on the Fireluke 2. It looks like Freemax have finally fixed this problem this time round by incorporating stiffer ball bearings ensuring it stays closed. I purposely tested this numerous times and I have to say there were no problems.. finally! Although the ball bearings are stiffer, the ability to slide the top open is not hindered and can be done so with ease.

With an 810 widebore drip tip, this tank has the bulk feel throughout and with the 510 threaded connection you'll be sure to find the device you want to attach it to, although it was made with the Freemax Maxus 100W kit in mind.

As highlighted earlier, the tank comes with both the SS904L X2 Coil (0.2ohm) and the SS904L X1 Coil (0.15ohm). I tested both coils throughout their lifespan and I have to say both were fantastic and from what I remember from their original, this latest instalment runs rings around it!

SS904L X2 Coil (0.2ohm)

The X2 coil comes pre-installed with recommended use at 40W-80W. I personally found that the best was around 70W. To say the flavour was excellent and well above average is an understatement. I tested the coils with Bubblegum by Solid Vape and the sweetness of the juice came through excellent, in fact it somewhat amplified it in comparison to newer tanks out there at present! The airflow was just right and ploughed it's way through the higher VG liquid with ease. Dual mesh coils are always something I've personally enjoyed and this is definitely up there in the best I've tried. What was quite significant was that I wouldn't particularity say there was a break in period with this coil. I obviously started at a lower wattage and worked up, but once I hit the sweet spot of 70W the flavour was there, and it stayed all the way through til the end!

SS904L X1 Coil (0.15ohm)

The X1 coil also comes with recommended use at 40W-80W. I feel this has a similar style to the nexMESH, with the SS904 strip with circular holes punched throughout. It's a single cylinder type coil with noticeably more airflow in total. Unlike mentioned with the X2 coil, this one required more of a break in period. With the cotton/tea fibre formula wrapped around this coil, the absorption of liquid was still quick however. Although the flavour on this coil matched the same great levels of intensity of the X2, I still prefer the inhale from a mesh coil. I personally think the difference between the two stock coils is totally down to preference of inhale more than anything.

Refilling the Pod

• Pull Plastic Pod Section From 510 Base
• Remove Rubber Plug at Base of Pod
• Add Your Favourite E-Liquid From Royal Flush Vape
• Wait Around 5 Minutes For Adequate Saturation

Final Thoughts

Overall the Maxus 100W from Freemax is an excellent single battery sub-ohm kit that performed so well I even picked one up myself!

The device is strong and sturdy throughout and the battery capabilities and latest screen layout make it one of the easiest sub-ohm devices I've played around with in years, it's by far an amazing pick up and vape kit. Freemax have thought about everything and implemented it. I personally have never reviewed anything that performs as great so far. Although I wish there were additional colours available, I'm happy with the Black-Red resin colour I got myself.

In addition to the well performing Maxus 100W, the Fireluke 3 tank is a definite improvement over the predecessors. Freemax have for sure taken on board any problems from previous renditions, such as the flimsy sliding refill port and increased the production quality throughout. Honestly, this review may be slightly one sided as my love for the Fireluke series is apparent and to be completely fair, it deserves to be! If you're looking for a new sub-ohm kit then I can't recommend this enough.
