Design and Build Quality
There’s no mistaking the Max Air MA8500 as anything but a disposable vape. Its pen-shaped silhouette measures 105mm tall by 32mm wide, with a hefty weight of 66g. The plastic resin exterior gives each device a unique marbled finish and color matching the e-liquid flavor inside.
Compared to slimmer disposables, the MA8500 feels chunky and substantial. The mouthpiece section accounts for nearly a third of the total height, providing a wide yet comfortable drip tip. A layer of TPU silicone makes it soft and squishy to the touch.
An adjustable airflow ring separates the mouthpiece and body, offering full 360 degree rotation. The airflow slot itself remains fairly small at 6mm by 1mm, but adjustments range from wide open to fully closed off.
Bold branding dominates much of the exterior, with logos and markings spanning nearly the whole length. Some lettering started chipping early, but overall construction feels sturdy. And the included matching lanyard comes handy for portability.
Features and Controls
The MA8500 comes filled with 17mL of 50mg nicotine salt e-liquid, powered by a built-in 600mAh battery. Charging via USB-C, it provides an estimated 8,500 puffs per charge.
The adjustable top airflow can tailor draws from direct lung to a looser mouth-to-lung inhale when nearly closed down. But the airflow leaning towards DL combined with 50mg nic strength makes for an intense experience best suited to seasoned users.
Beyond the variable airflow and USB-C charging, the MA8500 offers no other features or settings to speak of. It’s a straightforward high-capacity disposable by design.
Review of the Mr Fog Max Air MA8500 Flavors
My biggest disappointment stems from the MA8500’s paltry flavor selection – just eight options, mostly fruits:
Top 5 Flavors Reviewed
The “Double” branding remains vague – perhaps double flavor strength or two flavor varieties blended. In any case, highlights for me included:
Double Razz
Familiarly saccharine sweetness resembling timeless old-fashioned candies electrifies initial inhales before second waves emerge mirroring first intensifying candy raspberry zing through doubled dosage without doubling down excessive cloyingness marring legitimacy. Admirable restraint allows replicated sensations skipping syrupy sabotage or overly effervescent eruptions turning each dense haul enjoyably smoker-friendly beyond mere novelty.
Double Peach
Both inhales and elongated exhales find themselves awash serene nectars strongly suggesting freshly harvested peaches at the very precipice of perfectly ripened greatness rather than unnatural post-harvest preservations sullying ambrosial essence through interfering chemicals correcting inadequacies. Each successive haul unveils further untainted juice intermingling sweet yet masterfully skipping candy store perversions allowing wonderfully multidimensional juiciness shining proudly unadorned by frivolity.
Double Apple
Tantalizingly crisp and exhilaratingly fresh, initial contacts optimally capture Macintosh apples ripely picked that very morning rather than weeks ago through thoughtful minimalism pronouncing star fruit actors without unnecessary supporting frills. Notably skipping almost alchemical sweetness marring comparable options seemingly engineering amplified orchard harvests through scientific sabotage, quiet confidence shines allowing double scoops of natural goodness delightedly dancing across fortunate palates.
Double Berry
While the principal players behind onboard berries escape easy identification, their unified chorus certainly soars through irrepressible sweetness strongly suggesting at least traces of fructose speaking towards overt strawberry Fascinations without fully revealing itself. Yet despite detectable candying evidencing itself consistently from first inhales onwards, admirable balancing mitigates approaching edges of overwhelmingness allowing sugars slowly meander delivering decisively satisfying results during momentary tasting sessions for those periodically seeking sweet reprieves escaping ubiquity elsewhere.
Double Espresso
Utterly uncompromising and ambitiously authentic, these intensely concentrated Arabica coffee extractions prove instantly recognizable through slightly smoky almost alkaline astringency true aficionados proudly display as badges of honor. Stripped of all sweetness or lighter roasted milkiness softening such potency, devotees seeking hardest hits find wishes granted through harsh magic daring doubled dosage that fewer fainter hearts endure by second successive inhales. Consider yourself warned around scalding intensity rarely resolving towards gentler decaffeinated or vanilla bean mollifications – this blend stays cranked towards eleven without apologies!
Hopefully Mr Fog rapidly expands the selection. But the focus on “unsweetened” natural flavors impressed me overall.
Performance and Vaping Experience
Considering the 50mg strength, I found the MA8500 optimally satisfying when used as a loose MTL device. The adjustable airflow enabled dialing in a tightness just right for me.
The 1.0-ohm coil delivers dense, potent hits. I easily got 2+ days of moderate use per charge. And the battery performance remained consistent even when low.
The MA8500 produces ample vapor when opened up for a direct lung draw. But at 50mg strength, I can’t advise it. Stick to a loose MTL to avoid getting nic sick.
Ultimately, the MA8500 provides a robust yet smooth nic hit. But the loose draw proved a touch too airy for my preferences. Still, I enjoyed the natural fruit flavors as all-day carries.
Verdict: A Solid High-Capacity Disposable Vape
The Mr Fog Max Air MA8500 performs admirably as a supersized disposable optimized for longevity. While still portable, its chunky size burdens pockets more than slimmer options.
Airflow tailored towards direct lung use seems an odd choice given the 50mg juice strength – I’d steer clear of that approach. But with the airflow closed down, it delivers ample dense flavor suitable for seasoned vapers.
More nic levels and tighter draw options would make the MA8500 more versatile. And the flavor lineup desperately needs expansion. But overall, Mr Fog’s beastly disposable provides quality and convenience expected of the category.
For those seeking a high-capacity disposable delivering 8,500+ puffs per charge, the Max Air MA8500 warrants consideration. Just be ready for its imposing physical footprint.
