A DL pod, but not only
The Pixo Max pod is supplied with a cartridge fitted with a sealed 0.4 ohm coil for restricted direct inhaling. Fans of a tighter draw can rely on compatibility with Pixo cartridges up to 1.2 ohm. The range of available coils is sufficient for most vapers.
Easy to get to grips with, the Pixo Max offers three power levels to vary the vaping experience.

A well-finished pod that is easy to use
The Pixo Max inspires confidence with its brushed metal appearance and detailed finish. A display is hidden beneath the pod’s casing and mainly shows the coil value and battery level. It is discreet, but not the most visible, especially when used outdoors in sunlight. The pod is supplied without a charging cable. Although most users probably already have several USB-C cables, it is always nice to have a dedicated one.
On one side of the Pixo Max, a USB-C port allows the integrated 2600 mAh battery to be recharged. This is battery life worthy of an 18650-format cell in a compact device. Right next to it, a fire button produces vapour. It is also used to adjust the power and the vapour activation mode.
Three power levels are available and are represented by an LED strip on the front that changes colour. With the 0.4 ohm coil, the highest level delivers 28 W, followed by 26 W at the intermediate level and 22 W at the lowest level.
Vapour is produced by inhaling and/or by pressing the fire button. This setting can be adjusted to choose a specific mode.
On the other side, a slider adjusts the volume of air that cools the coil in the cartridge. The more open this area is, the airier the draw becomes, allowing for a dynamic direct vape. Conversely, the more the opening is obstructed by leaving fewer holes open, the tighter the draw becomes, without ever moving beyond a very restricted direct inhale. The slider is firm enough to stay in position.
One cartridge is supplied with the device: a 0.4 ohm Pixo Dual Mesh cartridge. Its capacity is 3 ml, a standard value for this format. As usual, the soft silicone plug is lifted to access the filling port.
The coil is sealed inside the tank. The cartridge must therefore be replaced as soon as the first signs of flavour degradation appear.
In terms of flavour, it is a complete success. Aspire no longer needs to prove its expertise in coil manufacturing. Flavours are precise and particularly detailed. The finesse of the aromatic spectrum is remarkable.
