The "snap" mechanism on these new disposables is actually kinda smart

Look, I know. Disposables are e-waste. I’ve been squonking since the Pulse 80w came out and I build my own coils. I get the hate. But I travel for work and honestly, sometimes I just don't wanna deal with re-wicking in a hotel room or risking my glass tank cracking in my bag.

Grabbed this Nexa Ultra II at a shop yesterday cause the guy swore it wouldn't leak. The weird part is you have to physically snap the battery part into the pod part to actually open the juice flow. It kinda keeps the coil and the juice apart so the cotton doesn’t get all soggy and gross over time.

Tbh it solves my biggest gripe with these things (besides the waste). Usually you buy "new" stock but it's been sitting on a shelf marinating the coil for 6 months until it tastes like a wet sock. This was actually crisp immediately cause the juice hadn't touched the cotton yet.

Also, finally a clear tank. I’m so over these stupid digital screens lying about juice levels. Just let me see the liquid ffs.

That said, the thing is a total brick. Definitely not stealthy in the pocket, feels kinda like holding a bar of soap. If you’ve used squonks you know 900mAh ain’t much, but it’s been holding up alright for my first day of use. And yeah, it actually got a power-save mode. You can just turn the screen off when the battery’s low.

Not giving up my squonk, but for a travel backup, the mechanics are actually decent. want to know anyone else seen these "snap" style ones popping up
