Chillax is a disposable vape brand with a unique approach to design. The original Chillax vape had a partially transparent design that resembled a CD jewel case in a clear nod to the Gen-X crowd, and the new Chillax Psylo takes things a step further with an overall look that isn’t quite like anything we’ve ever seen before.
The Psylo doesn’t just look different from others for the sake of being different, though, because the form follows the function to a certain extent. The Psylo stores its e-liquid in a clear tank, but it has a unique locking system that makes it more leak resistant than other tank-based disposable vapes. It also has a new social feature that’s an industry first as far as we can tell.
The Chillax Psylo is guaranteed to stand out from the crowd, and it seems to be setting Chillax up as the go-to brand for people who want other vapers to stop them and ask, “Hey, what’s that?” We love a vape that’s designed for maximum uniqueness, and we’ll explain everything you need to know about the Chillax Psylo in this review.

How Much Does the Chillax Psylo Cost?
The Chillax Psylo costs $14.95 at the time of writing, which is an unusually good deal for a device that contains 15 ml of vape juice and lasts up to 35,000 puffs. The Psylo has 10 flavors available at launch, and we’re certain that more will be added in the future if this device turns out to be a hit with the public. For now, the initial selection of flavors should be more than enough to please just about anyone who enjoys fruity offerings.

Chillax Psylo Features
Clear E-Liquid Tank with Locking System
From a functional standpoint, the most notable feature of the Chillax Psylo is the fact that it uses a clear tank for e-liquid storage. That’s a popular trend these days, and you’ve seen it before if you’re used a recent device from a brand like Foger Vape or Nexa Vape.
The Psylo, however, does things a bit differently because the tank section is essentially designed to look and work like a traditional vape tank. That’s great for flavor and airflow. It's different from other vapes with clear e-liquid storage because in most vapes with clear “tanks,” the tank actually feeds a traditional saturated wick. You get some of the benefits of tank-based storage, but you also get some of the drawbacks of traditional wick-based storage as well.
You’ll understand what makes the Psylo different as soon as you use it for the first time. Without the large wick holding a portion of the e-liquid and impeding airflow, you get a much purer flavor and a smoother draw than with many other disposable vapes.
That, however, isn’t where the differences end. Without the large wick for storage, there’s never any question as to how much e-liquid you have left because it’s right there in front of you. When the tank is empty, you only have a few puffs remaining – it’s that easy.
One potential drawback when you use a tank-based disposable vape is the fact that e-liquid can potentially leak from the mouthpiece, particularly if the device is placed on its side for long periods. You don’t have to worry about that issue with the Chillax Psylo because this device has a unique locking feature that prevents leaks. To engage the lock, all that you need to do is pull the mouthpiece, which seals the tank. Push the mouthpiece back in to resume vaping.
The fact that it enables the leak prevention system isn’t the only thing that makes the Chillax Psylo’s mouthpiece unique. The mouthpiece also has a narrow cylindrical shape, like a cigarette filter. Many recent disposable vapes, in contrast, have whistle-tip mouthpieces that recent converts to vaping sometimes find awkward. If you switched to vaping recently, you might appreciate the more familiar feel of the Psylo.
Interactive Social Feature
Although the unique features of the Chillax Psylo are mainly functional, there’s also another interesting feature that doesn’t exist for any reason except to increase the device’s fun factor. The Psylo has an interactive social feature that causes special icons on the screen to blink when someone else is using the Psylo or certain other Chillax vapes within a 10-meter radius.
Although it’s difficult to say how much the Psylo’s social feature will actually get used in practice, it’s great to see that manufacturers like Chillax are still working hard to develop new features that the members of the vaping community haven’t seen before. If the Psylo is a hit, it’s entirely possible that some users will end up making new friends. That would certainly be a lot of fun.
Whether the social feature interests you or not, it’s worth mentioning that the Chillax Psylo has a very attractive display. The icons only appear when you’re actually using the device. When you’re not vaping, the display essentially disappears and blends into the device’s finish.
What Are the Best Chillax Psylo Flavors?
The Chillax Psylo has 10 fruity flavors available at launch. Some people might regret the lack of any traditional flavors like clear, menthol or tobacco. If you typically buy vapes with sweeter flavors, though, you’ll find plenty to like here because the Psylo has pretty much all of the major fruity flavor profiles. Here’s what’s available at launch.
- Berry Burst: Berry Burst is a classic flavor profile that many of the best disposable vape brands are offering these days, and Chillax’s rendition tastes exactly the way you want it to. You’ll get a bold blend of mixed berries with every puff, and you’ll really enjoy the nice balance between sweet and tart.
- Blue Raspberry: Everybody loves some great blue razz vapes, right? The Blue Raspberry flavor for the Chillax Psylo has the authentic “blue slush” flavor that you love, and it’ll always keep you coming back.
- Grape Ice: Bold, sweet grape combines with a chilly menthol finish to give you an orchard-style experience with a twist. There’s plenty of sweetness here, but there’s also a good amount of complexity.
- Green Apple Ice: If you’re a fan of sour vapes, a good green apple flavor always hits the mark. Chillax’s Green Apple Ice flavor delivers the sour apple candy experience that you love, and the menthol finish adds an extra burst of refreshment that never gets old.
- Lemon Iced Tea: Lemon Iced Tea is probably the most unique flavor in the Chillax Psylo lineup, and it’s always in very high demand. Disposable vapes with tea flavors aren’t very common, which is a shame because a tea note adds a nice savory element that goes great with lots of other flavors.
- Melon Cac-Orange: Chillax doesn’t just have some vapes with very unique designs – they’ve also come up with several flavor ideas that we haven’t seen elsewhere, and Melon Cac-Orange is one of them. Combining sweet melon and juicy orange with a slightly tangy note of cactus fruit, this flavor blends tropical notes with a desert vibe to create an experience you haven’t had before.
- Peach Ice: Bold, juicy peach combines with a finishing touch of menthol to deliver the ultimate in refreshment. You’ll really love this one when you’re looking for a summer pick-me-up.
- Rich Blueberry: Blueberry is often used as a mixer in the vaping world, but it’s definitely delicious enough to stand on its own. That’s exactly what you’ll get with this flavor, and “bold” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
- Strawberry Kiwi: Tastes just like the kiwi-strawberry juice that you buy at the supermarket. Sweet, crisp and very refreshing.
- Watermelon Ice: A dash of menthol adds some welcome complexity to this sweet, fruity flavor.
Having trouble choosing which Psylo flavor to buy first? We’d have to give the nod to Lemon Iced Tea because it’s so unique. Between the savory-and-sweet tea base, the tart lemon note and the chilly menthol, it’s truly a flavor that hits the entire palate at once.
Chillax Psylo Review: Our Expert Perspective
Chillax gained its initial attention from the vaping community by creating vapes that looked out of the ordinary. With the Psylo, though, they’ve taken the next step and developed a device that doesn’t just look different from the rest but also works differently as well. We’ve seen vapes with clear e-liquid storage in the past, but the Psylo is different because it actually has the same airflow and flavor quality as a traditional refillable vape with a full-sized tank. Between that, the unique appearance and the fun social feature, we think that Chillax has a real hit on their hands with this device.
