The new Mr Fog MA8500 disposable vape boasts an impressive 17ml e-juice capacity and huge 8,500 puff battery. But does it live up to the hype and earn a spot as one of the best disposables of 2022?
In this detailed hands-on review, we’ll take an in-depth look at the features, performance, flavor options and overall value of the MA8500 to see if it deserves the title of longest lasting disposable vape.
Overview of the Mr Fog Brand
Mr Fog are a Canadian vape company founded in 2018 and based in Alberta. While best known for their premium e-juice range, Mr Fog have also released several popular disposable vapes like the Mr Fog Switch, Max Air3000.
The MA8500 is only the second disposable we’ve tested from Mr Fog, but initial reviews have been extremely positive. Naturally, my expectations were high to see if the hype was justified!
Mr Fog MA8500 Disposable Vape Features
- 17ml e-juice capacity – much larger than most disposables
- 8,500 puff capacity – one of the longest lasting disposables
- Rechargeable 600mAh battery – charges in under 1 hour via USB-C
- 50mg nicotine salt nicotine – high strength for heavy smokers
- Adjustable airflow – unique for a disposable vape
- 8 flavors – mostly fruit and mint options
Despite the high capacity, the MA8500 isn’t significantly bigger than average disposables at 105mm x 32mm. It uses a marble-style polycarbonate plastic body with a soft, comfortable mouthpiece.
It’s an auto-draw device, so just puff to vape. There’s a single LED light to indicate firing and battery status. The proprietary chipset provides consistent, smooth performance.
But the highlight is definitely the adjustable airflow, controlled by rotating the gold ring near the mouthpiece. This allows customization of the draw to your preference.
Unboxing the Mr Fog MA8500
The review units arrived in a fancy Mr Fog display case, but retail packaging is simple and effective. The disposable comes sealed in a foil pouch inside a color-coded cardboard sleeve.
It’s pre-charged so you just remove the mouthpiece plug and peel off the base sticker to start vaping. A lanyard matching the flavor color is a nice bonus.
The packaging clearly displays the key info like e-juice volume, nicotine content and authenticity codes. The only omission is the PG/VG ratio which would be nice to know.
Appearance and Design
The MA8500 is definitely on the larger size for a disposable vape. I personally enjoy the chunky, premium feel in the hand, but more compact options like the Fifty Bar or Puffmi MeshBox Mini are great alternatives if portability is priority.
Despite the size, the MA8500 remains comfortable and manageable. The tapered mouthpiece is ergonomic and the smooth finish won’t snag when removing from a pocket or bag.
Branding is subtle, with simple ‘Mr Fog’ text on one side and the name on the reverse. The bright colors and marble-style finish give the MA8500 visual pop.
Performance and Vape Experience
In testing, the MA8500 delivered consistently smooth, satisfying performance just as a premium disposable should. The auto-draw activation is quick and reliable. Nicotine delivery feels robust at 50mg strength.
Vapor production is plentiful, especially with the airflow open. The adjustable ring provides a range from a tight MTL draw up to a loose DTL. Take care when opening it fully due to the high nicotine level.
Flavor intensity is high across all options. The flavors taste clean and accurate to descriptions. Vaping experience remains consistent until the very last drop of e-juice.
But the real highlight of the MA8500 is the exceptional battery life and longevity. Life span exceeded 2 weeks of frequent daily use. I easily got a full day of vaping before needing to recharge.
By my estimate, the MA8500 falls within the advertised 8,500 puff rating. Less frequent users could stretch a single disposable to over a month!
The MA8500 recharges rapidly in under an hour thanks to the USB-C port. Pass-through vaping allows use while charging if you can’t wait.
Mr Fog MA8500 Flavors
The MA8500 comes in 8 flavors, all named “Double” to indicate the high intensity. The current options are:
- Double Strawberry
- Double Razz
- Double Apple
- Double Grape
- Double Spearmint
- Double Espresso
- Double Peach
- Double Berry
The fruity flavors are sweet and juicy. I particularly enjoyed the Strawberry, Razz and Berry options. Spearmint and Espresso provide non-fruit choices.
All flavors taste fresh and authentic. More tobacco and dessert profiles would increase the range, but Mr Fog suggests more flavors are coming.
Cost of the Mr Fog MA8500
The MA8500 sells for around $18 USD on the official Mr Fog site. At some online vape retailers, prices are as low as $13.99.
Given the large e-juice volume and long-lasting battery, the MA8500 provides excellent value compared to other disposables. The cost per day of use is very competitive.
Final Verdict on the Mr Fog MA8500
Based on my extensive testing, the MA8500 absolutely lives up to its reputation as one of the longest lasting disposable vapes available today.
The outstanding battery performance and massive e-juice capacity provide weeks of use from a single disposable. Plus the adjustable airflow and robust flavor gives an experience similar to more expensive vapes.
Minor drawbacks are the limited nicotine options and small flavor selection currently. But overall the MA8500 delivers premium performance at an affordable price point.
If you’re looking for the longest lasting disposable vape that will last days without a recharge, the impressive new Mr Fog MA8500 is easily a top contender.
