INTRO
The Aspire Flexus Blok Pod Kit is a matchbox-shaped MTL and RDTL gadget with an enormous 1200mAh battery that is incredibly durable. It will soon replace your current favourite pod kit! Let’s look at the device’s specifications. Another new Flexus gadget, with all the same durability and build quality as the Flexus Q Pod Kit and a tonne of brand-new updates and enhancements, was just unveiled by Aspire. The Flexus Blok has several qualities and safety features to brag about, including its enormous internal battery capacity. Additionally, the new box-style design gives the gadget a completely new vibe without sacrificing its mobility! Aspire appears to have taken consumer criticism of the Flexus Q into account and made adjustments. After writing the evaluation for the prior kit, I was quite eager to try this item.

DESIGN & APPEARANCE
As a vape reviewer, I’ve had a lot of vaporizers, but the Flexus Blok is one of the most durable items I’ve ever owned. Everything seems to have been taken into account while building the gadget, from the placement and operation of the fill port to the way the pod is connected to the battery (after customers complained about the previous model’s pod connection). Even the button itself is made with skill. I can’t in any way downplay the design or construction quality of this kit. The Flexus Blok is short, rectangular, and has a smooth metallic surface with curved edges. The colour I got is called graphite, and it has a lovely pattern on the battery and stippling underneath the pod to make it easier to hold. The Blok feels wonderful in the hand overall. The fact that this block-shaped device is so comfy to carry shocked me as I’m not typically a big admirer of them.
INTERFACE
The Flexus Blok offers a straightforward user interface with just one well-made button for operation. The user may choose between the three available power settings and turn the gadget on and off by pushing this button five times (by pressing it 3 times). The letter “A” in the Aspire logo will flash twice to indicate the current output level when changing power settings. The colours will either be green for high, blue for medium, or red for low. The same light will shine in normal operation to indicate the battery status of the device. It will either flash green (60%-100%), blue (30%-60%), or red (30%). I found it to be quite simple to use because this method is popular with kits with single buttons that are identical. Additionally, even though the device has a button for fire, it also includes automatic draw activation, so all you need to do to start vaping is inhale onto the drip tip. I find that when I’m holding it, my thumb or index finger naturally rests on the button, but if you’d like just vape without hitting a button, this kit has both alternatives.
BATTERY & PERFORMANCE
This device’s internal battery, which has a massive 1200mAh capacity, is one of its main advantages. Regardless of its size, I didn’t anticipate the battery to last me very long because I vape frequently (read: constantly). Even so, I discovered that the Flexus Blok (with a full battery) gave me two full days of usage despite my frequent use. With the exception of the sub-ohm kits I use, which have enormous external batteries, I can’t claim that about any other vape kit I’ve tried. This will undoubtedly change the game for anyone seeking a pod kit with a large battery. The USB Type-C charging connector is situated below the button on the side of the smartphone and is used to power the gadget. A USB-C charger is provided with it. The device’s 1A charging rate is a little bit slower than the majority of 2A charging pod kits now available. Even so, the enormous battery can be fully recharged from a dead battery to 100% in just over an hour, which isn’t too awful. Just a little bit baffled as to why Aspire only allowed 1A of charging for the gadget. I was once more really delighted with the performance. I haven’t experienced even the slightest glitch while using the auto-draw or the button-firing. The device’s auto-draw isn’t particularly sensitive when the airflow is fully opened, so if you’re hoping for an RDTL draw, you’ll need to either inhale more forcefully than I do (as an MTL vaper) or use the button to preheat the coil just before inhaling. This is the only minor drawback I can find with it. This is a very minor drawback in my perspective because, as I previously indicated, while holding the button, your finger tends to move toward it.
POD & COILS
Friends, buckle up because I have a lot to say. Excellent construction went into the pod. This gadget offers no room for mistake, in contrast to the Flexus Q, the previous generation, which had problems with pod connections that caused the pod to pop out and prevent it from connecting to the battery. The pod will never fall out because of its extremely strong magnetic connection and the fact that it slides into position on the battery. In essence, my biggest (and maybe only) complaint about the prior model has been fully addressed, and I’m really glad about it. From the side-fill port to the top airflow switch, the Flexus Blok pod offers a tonne of useful features. Additionally, it has a thin, cylindrical mouthpiece that mimics the sensation of a cigarette while yet enabling MTL and RDTL draws. On the top of the pod, just next to the mouthpiece, is a little airflow switch. Since there isn’t much opportunity for customization due to the switch’s size, your options basically come down to closed airflow (useless), MTL airflow (middle), and RDTL airflow (open). However, I believe that the airflow settings are appropriate for the device’s intended function, therefore I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a drawback. Please refrain from making crude remarks about how difficult it is to accidentally cover the airflow hole unless you have a tendency to insert the mouthpiece very deeply.

CONCLUSION
The Flexus Blok is an amazing little gadget that is palm-sized, portable, and very powerful. This adorable little gadget redefines what pod kit vaping can be: it can be simple and low-maintenance while still being exceptionally sturdy and well-built, which is a significant advance over the previous model. Given the construction quality and the sale price of £29.99, I’d place this among the toughest, least breakable pod kits now available. Therefore, the Flexus Blok is the way to go whether you’re clumsy like me or you simply want to upgrade from your cheap pod kit model. With this excellent small package, Aspire has truly excelled.
