ANYX are back with the GM 25000 disposables, which we will take a look at in this review!
These follow on from the ANYX Polo, Iron and Cobra pod kits, which we reviewed back in 2024. They are also responsible for products such as the Pro, Go, Max and Max Plus, developed by an R&D team consisting of over 120 engineers.
ANYX benefit from having Aspire, one of the leaders and most recognisable names in the vaping industry, provide their expertise when it comes to developing new ANYX products.
Please note, the ANYX GM 25000 device is only available for non-TPD regulated vaping markets, this is not available for purchase within the UK.
What Can We Expect From The ANYX GM 25000?
‘Detachable, Dopamine, Delightful’ is the tagline for the ANYX GM 25000!
‘Detachable’ comes from the 1.9inch detachable screen that provides real-time vaping data, making it easy to stay on top of battery life and your vaping habits, whilst boasting an eye-catching modern look.
‘Dopamine’ is drawn from the ten different colour and flavour options, that promise to bring energy and fun to every puff that you take.
And ‘Delightful’ comes from the experience that you get when using an ANYX GM 25000 vape!
ANYX’s patented G-Mesh technology is utilised with the 1.4ohm mesh coil, ensuring that smooth vapour and bold flavours are delivered in every puff, with a coil that lasts you all the way through the 12ml capacity- delivering up to 25,000 puffs!
You can seamlessly switch between mouth to lung or direct to lung vaping for a smooth inhale thanks to the sliding airflow control that is conveniently located on the side of the ANYX GM 25000.
A 550mAh battery keeps you powered-up and stress free, with a battery percentage displayed on the detachable screen allowing you to keep track of when your device needs to be recharged via USB-C.
Six different safety protections are built in too, allowing you to vape free of worries!
Kit Contents
There’s not really much here to speak of, you get the ANYX GM 25000 device inside the box, but that is it really- not even an instruction manual/warnings booklet.
With a disposable device like this, an instruction manual isn’t really needed, but if you do need any pointers then our ‘Quick Start Guide’ below will help you out!

Design & Build Quality
The ANYX GM 25000 is a palm sized device constructed from PC & ABS & PCTG, that measures in at 28mm x 54mm x 110mm, and it has a bit of weight to it as well at 84.2g.
At the top of the GM 25000 is a large, prefilled 12ml pod that is fixed to the device, the transparent design allows you to see the full e-liquid capacity.
Inside the pod is a 1.4ohm G Mesh coil, and at the top is a duckbilled shaped mouthpiece that sits in the mouth comfortably.
A unique feature found on the GM 25000 is the detachable screen, it’s certainly the first device that I have used that has one!
Essentially, the screen attaches to the device magnetically, allowing you to take it off.
It’s a fairly handy option to have in practice, as the screen itself lights up quite brightly so if you find that you need to vape stealthily, you can remove it and be left with a discreet four LED option to indicate battery life.
Now, a downside that I found with the detachable screen was that I found myself inadvertently fiddling with it, but also I had a couple of issues where the screen came off with minimal pressure applied, which was a bit of a pain when it happened in the car and ended up lodged under my seat!
The screen itself features a smart, futuristic design that shows the ANYX logo, battery percentage and a puff counter in seconds and milliseconds (for those that are really precise about their vaping habits), this goes completely black a few seconds after you have had a puff.
Quick Start Guide
All you need to do here to get vaping is to remove the silicone stopper that is poking out of the mouthpiece and you are ready to vape. An auto draw system is used here so just take a puff to get going!
You can adjust the airflow by using the slider on the side of the device, this gives you the option of vaping either mouth to lung or direct to lung.
Charging
A USB-C charging port is present at the base of the device, but no charging cable is included in the box, so you will need to supply your own.
The GM 25000 charges up pretty rapidly as well, you can check on the percentage in real time on screen, so there’s no real waiting around to get vaping again!
Safety Features
- Over voltage protection
- Over current protection
- Overtime protection
- Short Circuit Protection
- Low battery protection
- Child lock protection- take 5 puffs in quick succession to activate
Flavours
At launch, there are ten different flavours, with plans for two more to release in the future.
Interestingly, five of these are available in 20mg nicotine salt strength, and five are available in 30mg.
The five 20mg strength ones are Blueberry Ice, Grape Kiwi Ice, Triple Mango, Blackcurrant Lychee and Blueberry Passionfruit, these are also the five that I received for review.
In 30mg strength you have Sea Salt Lemon, Mint Ice, Watermelon Ice, Aloe Grape and the fantastically-named Power Swater!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with the five I got for review, but I would have loved to have tried out Sea Salt Lemon and Power Swater!
Blueberry Ice
This was probably the most mundane flavour out of the five that I got to try out, it is a Blueberry Ice flavour that doesn’t really do much different to the hundreds of others that I have tried.
It offers an authentic tasting blueberry flavour, tasting quite bold and thick, though the icy menthol finish could do with being turned up a notch as I did feel that it was a little bit on the weak side.
Triple Mango
Well stone me, this offers an absolute ton of mango flavour, this is mango flavouring turned up to the max!
And this is delivered without a load of artificial sweetener too, the natural mango flavouring is allowed to shine through and take centre stage, and this really does taste like biting into fresh mango fruit.
My pick of the five that I got to review!
Blackcurrant Lychee
This is a really interesting combination, and one that I haven’t tried out before. I enjoy blackcurrant and lychee flavours, and these two together were a real winner!
The blackcurrant comes in at the start and is more subtle than I expected it to be, and the lychee was by far the more dominant flavour out of the two.
I found this to be quite a refreshing combination, especially as there seems to be a hint of a cooling element on the exhale.
Blueberry Passion Fruit
On the inhale I get plenty of thick blueberry flavouring, this actually felt more pronounced than the flavouring present in the blueberry ice version, before a sweet and authentic tasting passionfruit comes in.
Again, this is something a bit different from ANYX, they have taken two fruit vape flavours and combined them to provide an almost exotic cocktail like flavour!
Grape Kiwi Ice
Hmmm I can’t think of a time that I have tried these flavours in combination, and it is nice to try out something a little different!
A tangy grape pairs very nicely with the exotic kiwi flavouring and the cooling element finishes this off nicely, providing a refreshing chill at the end.
How Does The ANYX GM 25000 Perform?
Each ANYX GM 25000 device features a 1.4ohm G Mesh coil, with a fixed power output delivered to it. This seems to be quite consistent during use, with the performance only starting to drop off when the battery reaches 25% and under.
I was quite impressed with just how smoothly these vape as well, really allowing me to savour the flavour notes.
Airflow
On the side of the GM 25000 is an airflow adjustment slider that offers the option to vape mouth to lung, restricted direct lung and I can also just about get an unrestricted lung hit off of it with the airflow fully open- though it isn’t my preferred way to vape one of these as I feel the flavour takes a bit of a hit!
I found the restricted lung hit option was just about perfect for me, with a good mix of tasty flavour and dense vapour.
Battery Life
This is one area where the GM 25000 could do with improving, as the built in 550mAh battery cannot quite keep up.
I certainly wasn’t getting a whole day out of a single charge, that is for sure! One of these would last me around six hours from a full charge, and that would deplete the battery right down to zero.
I did find that if I removed the screen that I got a slight improvement in battery life, but this only gave me about an extra hour’s worth of vaping.
How Many Puffs Do You Get From An ANYX GM 25000?
ANYX reckon that you can get up to 25000 puffs from the pre-filled 12ml pod, but figures such as these are usually obtained in laboratory settings by testing a device using less than one second puffs, which doesn’t really reflect real life usage where most people will puff for 2-3 seconds.
Total puff counts can also vary depending on your own vaping habits, such as how long you take a puff for and how frequently you vape on your device. If you take frequent, long puffs then your puff count will reduce accordingly.
I tallied how many puffs I got from the Triple Mango ANYX GM 25000, and I got 8,021 puffs before the pod had run out of juice. That was taking puffs that were quite frequent, and consistently in the 2-3 second region.
Pros
- Some really great flavours here
- Adjustable airflow allows for different vaping options
- Recharges quickly
- Very easy to use
- Vapes very smoothly
Cons
- It’s a fully disposable vape, so a lot of waste here
- No instruction manual in the box
- Detachable screen has a tendency to come off easily
- Battery doesn’t last the whole day
Final Verdict
One thing I was most impressed with here was just how fresh and clean tasting the five flavours I got to try out were, none of them tasted too artificial or over-sweetened. Triple Mango was a particular highlight!
On the whole the flavours that make up the range are what sets the ANYX GM 25000 apart from many other disposables, with some very interesting and different blends on offer compared to your usual ones that have flooded the market.
ANYX have calibrated the power output almost to perfection here too, ensuring that I got a smooth vape each and every time I took a puff on my GM 25000.
I can’t help but think that surely the design of the device could be easily adapted for the UK market, as it stands it will not be compliant with the incoming regulations on disposable vapes due to the fixed 12ml pre-filled pod. And I believe these flavours would do pretty well over here.
Maybe ANYX could adapt the design to make these great flavours accessible to UK based vapers? Time will tell!
