It’s possible that the Freemax EVOX is the most heavily tested vaping device in history. In the marketing material for the EVOX, Freemax claims to have tested the device with 2,394 bottles of e-liquid in 178 flavors from 20 brands – all in the pursuit of top-quality flavor. Freemax tested a total of 8,000 EVOX pods with these e-liquids. In the process, they revised the wick 38 times and revised the coil 26 times. It was all done with the goal of creating a refillable vape that would provide better flavor quality than a disposable vape while working with the same high-strength nicotine salts that disposable vapes typically use. To further this goal, Freemax also conducted head-to-head testing in which they compared the EVOX to 466 different disposable vapes.
Suffice it to say that if you’re a flavor chaser who enjoys the high-nicotine experience of using a disposable vape but wish that you could enjoy even higher flavor quality as opposed to the plasticky taste that can sometimes be evident with disposables, you’re probably going to love the Freemax EVOX. This is a vape for people who want top-quality flavor with every puff but still want to keep things as simple as possible. If that sounds like you, you’re probably going to be a big fan of this device. Let’s dig in and learn more with our review.

How Much Does the Freemax EVOX Cost?
The Freemax EVOX kit costs just $7.49, which is a truly remarkable price considering the amount of research and development that went into creating this device. That’s significantly less than the price of most disposable vapes, although you’ll also need to budget the cost of a bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid if this is your first refillable vape. The kit includes the Freemax EVOX device along with one pod and an instruction manual. The kit doesn’t include a charging cable, so you’ll need to provide your own. The Freemax EVOX will charge with any USB-C cable that’s capable of delivering power.
Freemax EVOX pods cost $9.49 per pack of three. We highly recommend adding a box of replacement pods to your order when purchasing this device.

Freemax EVOX: Features
Best Flavor in Its Class
As we discussed in this review’s introduction, the biggest selling point of the Freemax EVOX is the fact that it underwent perhaps the most stringent testing for flavor quality of any vaping device that’s ever been created. This is a device that Freemax tested with dozens of wick and coil combinations against hundreds of disposable vapes until they were absolutely convinced that the flavor was superior – and we’re inclined to agree. The Freemax EVOX definitely trounces any disposable vape and has better flavor quality than most pod systems as well.
You’re not really going to get the kind of flavor quality with the Freemax EVOX that you’d get from a full-sized vape mod, but that isn’t really the point here either. Vape mods are designed to produce huge clouds with low-nicotine e-liquids, and the EVOX is designed for the same type of high-strength e-liquid that you’d get in a disposable vape. If you’re currently using disposables, low-nicotine vape juice most likely doesn’t interest you at all – and in that case, the Freemax EVOX is probably exactly what you want.
Completely New Pod Design
Interoperability has been one of the most prominent recent trends in the world of pod vapes. Manufacturers have focused on releasing devices with stylish new designs and eye-catching features, and those vapes have largely maintained pod compatibility with the devices that came before them. It’s been a while since the last time a company came out with an entirely new pod design, and that’s exactly what Freemax has done with the EVOX. Here are the key features that set the new EVOX pod apart.
- It might be the most heavily tested vape pod that’s ever been created. Freemax tested dozens of combinations of different cotton wick blends and mesh coil designs until they found the one that offered perfect flavor reproduction for high-strength nicotine salt e-liquids.
- Freemax gave the pod a new type of airflow layout that they call a “maze structure.” The long, winding airflow path under the coil helps to ensure that if any vape juice happens to escape the coil assembly, it should be trapped in the maze rather than leaking out of the bottom of the pod.
- The EVOX pod also features a bulky silicone cover that helps to prevent any e-liquid from escaping through the filling port.
Simple and Straightforward Operation
The target market for the Freemax EVOX is clear. Freemax wants to woo people who currently use disposable vapes but want an experience that’s even better from a flavor standpoint. Freemax’s target customer enjoys the convenience of disposable vapes, though, and doesn’t want to give that up in the switch to a refillable device. To that end, Freemax designed the EVOX to be as easy to use as a refillable vape can possibly be. Here’s how Freemax accomplished that goal.
- The EVOX has no controls apart from an airflow adjustment slider, which you’re probably used to already since many disposable vapes now have adjustable airflow. Otherwise, you just need to inhale to vape. The EVOX does offer adjustable power to a certain extent, though, since it’s regulated to a constant power level of 3.4 volts. The regulated power means that the device’s output changes according to the resistance of the pod that’s installed. The 0.6-ohm pod produces the biggest and warmest clouds. On the other end of the spectrum, the 1.2-ohm pod produces smaller and cooler clouds.
- It’s easy to fill. While some pod systems have fairly small filling ports that might be a bit difficult to access, the EVOX has a larger port secured by a heavy silicone cover that’s easy to open and close.
- There’s no need to replace the coil when the flavor changes as is necessary with many pod vapes. When you’re no longer happy with the flavor quality, you’ll simply replace the entire pod and start using a new one.
How to Use the Freemax EVOX
Charging
To charge the Freemax EVOX, connect it to your computer with a USB-C cable. You can also use a wall adapter with an output of 5 volts, 580 mA. During charging, the light on the EVOX illuminates white. The light turns off when the charge cycle is complete.
If the light blinks 10 times when you try to use the EVOX, it means that the battery is dead. Connect the device to your computer to recharge the battery.
Filling
To fill the EVOX, start by removing the pod from the device and discarding the sticker that covers the pod’s metal contacts. You’ll see the silicone cover for the filling port on the side of the pod. Open the port and add e-liquid until the pod is nearly full. Close the cover securely and wait at least five minutes before you begin vaping.
Vaping
To vape, inhale through the mouthpiece as if you were smoking a cigarette. The Freemax EVOX supports both mouth-to-lung inhaling and direct-to-lung hits; you can make the airflow tighter or looser by adjusting the slider on the side of the device.
Freemax EVOX Review: Our Expert Perspective
We gave away most of the story on the Freemax EVOX in the title of this review when we called it the pod vape for flavor chasers because that’s exactly what it is. Freemax obviously worked very hard on this device with the goal of creating a refillable vape that could beat disposable vapes in the flavor department without sacrificing the convenience that users of disposables enjoy. That’s exactly what the EVOX does. If you’re currently using and enjoying disposable vapes but wish that the flavor quality could be even better, the Freemax EVOX is exactly the vape that you want.
Best Points
- Freemax’s research into flavor quality paid off. Most people will find that the EVOX has the best flavor quality of any vape in its size range and that it’s far superior to any disposable vape.
- The EVOX is a very easy device to use and should appeal to those who appreciate the simplicity and convenience of disposable vapes.
- The pod capacity of 5 ml should be more than enough to satisfy people who don’t want to refill their devices more than once a day.
Could Be Improved
- The kit only includes one pod and doesn’t come with a charging cable. Although those things aren’t surprising for a device in this price range, it still would have been nice if the kit had at least included a second pod.
