Aspire Vape - The Vape Industry Innovators
Aspire Vape have been at the forefront of the vaping industry for over a decade, and are considered as one of the "pillar brands" when it comes to vape kits.
The Aspire brand was established in 2010 and founded in Shenzhen, China. This was around the time that vaping and the use of e-cigarettes really started gaining in popularity as people looked for alternatives to tobacco products and Aspire set to work on making their mark on the vaping world.
2012 saw the release of the world's first patented refillable clearomizer, and no guesses who the brains were behind this...you got it, it was Aspire. And the innovations and world firsts just kept coming!
2013 saw the release of an Aspire tank, utilising their BVC coils as well as the world's first adjustable airflow control to be used on a vape tank. And in 2014, Aspire made arguably the most well known sub-ohm vape tank in the form of the Aspire Cleito, that still sells in high volume today...a decade after it's first release!
And now in 2024, Aspire boasts an impressive 2326 global patents, and have created some of the best vape tanks as well as refillable vape kits, always keeping up with current trends and technology with new devices coming out thick and fast such as the Aspire Pixo, which offers an "HD vape experience"
But sandwiched in amongst all of this technology and innovation was a device which proved a huge hit at the time of release in 2017, and today, still remains one of the best selling vape kits for us here at LiQuid every month and that is the Aspire PockeX! Let's take a deep dive into this fantastic device and learn how this helped cement Aspire's place as one of the best vape kit manufacturers in the world!
About The Aspire PockeX
First launched on to the global market in 2017, the Aspire PockeX truely was ahead of it's time and set the standard for pen vape devices. Prior to the release of the Aspire PockeX, pen vapes were marketed as a small slimline battery that had a clearomiser screwed on top of it, that either used a BVC coil or was a disposable clearomiser tank.
The PockeX broke the mold of it's predecessors by being an All in One vape device, meaning no seperate tank and battery, instead it's all connected as one sleek and slimline device. With it being an AIO, this created the most user friendly vape device with no complex features to understand, making it the perfect vape for any beginners seeking their first vape kit.
The PockeX uses replacement coils, which are the only maintenance required to keep up with, and the coils screw into the device and then they're housed within what is essentially the tank part of the device.
And it's powered by a robust 1500mah battery, providing all day use on a full charge, and it's rechargeable via Micro-USB.
How To Use The Aspire PockeX
The Aspire PockeX is one of the most user friendly vape kits on the market today, as it offers a simplistic and easy approach to vaping without the need for advanced vaping knowledge or even any vaping experience!
When you get your PockeX for the first time, you'll get everything you need to get your started in the box; the PockeX device itself, one of each coil, a user manual and a Micro USB charging cable.
When you take your device out of the box, it will already have a coil preinstalled meaning all you have to do is top it up with vape juice...but how do you do that? It's super straight forward, simply unscrew the top cap of the device (the silver part at the top) and this will then give you the ability to fill up the tank part with whatever vape juice you choose to use. The coil normally is attached to the top cap, but don't panic if it's still screwed into the base of the battery, it's perfectly normally!
Once you've topped up your device with your vape juice, simply replace the top cap and screw it back on until it's firmly in place. Be carefully not to over tighten it, as this may ruin the threads of the coil and your device may not recognise it's got a coil in situ.
Leave your device for around 5 minutes so that the vape juice can properly absorb into the cotton of the coil, this is called "priming" and it's an essential part of vaping that you must do whenever you replace the coil. After 5 minutes, it's time to vape!
The device is activated by pushing the fire button, which is almost in the middle of the device. Press and hold down the fire button which will activate the coil and begin ehating up your vape juice, then take a short and smooth inhale, and when finished release the power button and exhale...it's as easy as that!
What Ohms Are The Aspire PockeX Coils?
As we mentioned, the Aspire PockeX uses replacement PockeX coils, which are available in varying ohms resistances to cater to different styles of vaping.
The PockeX is predominantly a Mouth to Lung/MTL vape kit as it uses coils that are 1.2ohm resistance, giving a tighter draw and can mimic the effects of when you inhale a cigarette which is what many new vapers who convert from smoking want to mimic.
However, there are also 0.6ohm coils available for the PockeX and using these can give a less MTL style vape, and more of a restricted direct to lung style vape.
What Vape Juice Can I Use In The Aspire PockeX?
What vape juice to use in the PockeX ultimately does come down to what coil is being used in the device. Below are some of our top recommended vape juices from our ranges that you can use in the Aspire PockeX for the ultimate vape experience!
1.2 Ohm PockeX Coil
As this is a higher ohm coil, it'll provide a tighter mouth to lung draw, which will give a punchier throat hit. Therefore the best vape juice to use with the 1.0ohm coil would be that which is mixed at a 50%VG to 50%PG ratio. We have several ranges of 50/50 vape juice to from our online vape shop. Our Original £1 range is available in tapered nicotine strengths to suit your needs as well as over 40 different flavours to choose from!
And we also have nicotine salts available in our Bar Salts range, priced at just £2 per 10ml. These are slightly more expensive as they have been carefully created using double the amount of flavour concentrates to make the mouth watering flavours! We've just launched our Bar Salts Sodas range, as well as our Bar Salts Desserts alongside the original 20 flavours of Bar Salts, available in tapered nicotine strengths also.
0.6 Ohm PockeX Coil
The 0.6ohm PockeX coil is classed as a sub-ohm coil, as it is below 1.0ohm, therefore you can use thicker vape juice in your PockeX if you're using this coil. Whilst it's still on the higher end of the ohms chart, it will not give a true direct to lung/sub-ohm vape experience, but instead more of a restricted direct to lung vape, meaning you won't have to properly inhale your vapour, instead taking it down to the lung and exhaling.
High VG vape juice is more associated with this style of vaping, and we have a fantastic range of High VG vape juices both in our 10ml HVG range, which comes in 3 different nicotine strengths or we also have High VG shortfills in both 50ml and 100ml size bottles. These are sold as nicotine free to adhere to TPD regulations, but you get free nicotine shots with every shortfill which you can add yourself to reach your desire nicotine strength.

Frequently Asked Question About Aspire PockeX
We wanted to use this section of our guide to the Aspire PockeX to answer some of the frequently asked questions regarding the device so that you have a clear understanding of the in's and out's of this superb device!
How Much Vape Juice Can I Put In The Aspire PockeX?
The Aspire PockeX has a 2ml vape juice capacity. This is to adhere to the TPD regulations set out in 2017 that stated that any vape tank or vape device must not exceed 2ml in capacity.
Can I Change The Wattage On The Aspire PockeX?
No, the PockeX does not have any variable wattage features. Instead, the device automatically sets the output based on what coil is used inside the device. The approximate output for the 1.2ohm coil is around 10-12 watts and the 0.6ohm coil is around 15-18 watts
How Long Do PockeX Coils Last For?
The average life expectancy for a PockeX replacement coil is around 7-10 days. But this estimated range can change due to different variables such as frequency of use as well as what vape juice is being used.
Sweeter vape juice flavours can cause the coils lifespan to slightly shorten, and if you use your device fairly regularly, the cotton in the coil will deteroriate quicker thus leading to your coil burning out.
Why Does My PockeX Have A Flashing Orange Light?
You may notice when using your PockeX that the light around the fire button of the device is flashing orange. Don't panic as this is perfectly normal, and it's actually your battery life indicator!
The light will be blue when in use, meaning you have a good battery life remaining, then it will flash orange meaning your device needs to go on charge. And finally, if you see a red light, that means you really don't have much battery left so it's definitely time to put it on charge!
We recommend using the Micro USB cable which comes in the box to charge your PockeX safely.
How Long Does It Take To Charge The PockeX?
It'll take approximately one hour for the PockeX to fully charge using the cable which comes with the kit. The light around the fire button will illuminate green when it's fully charged meaning you can take it off charge and vape away!
