What To Expect With the Freemax Galex Nano Pod Kit?

This pod kit is equipped with a fantastic lighting design with Multicolour and Unicolour options. You can also turn off the light show if it is not “your thing”!

The ISO 8317 pod is child-resistant and utilises the new GX mesh coils, what’s more, the pod is clear so it’s easy to see when you need to fill up!

The battery at 800mAh is easily large enough to keep you going all day with the pods ultra mouth-to-lung vaping experience!

The Freemax Galex Nano Kit is available in 5 gorgeous colour designs : Gunmetal, Black, Blue, Pink Purple & Red Gold.

This sample kit was sent to me directly by Freemax for the purpose of review.

As always my thoughts and views are my own after considerable playtime!

Design and Build Quality

I was sent a Blue sample of this kit, the outer packaging of the kit is a card box with paper over sleeve.

Included with the kit is a spare coil and a USB Type C charge cable.

*I must add that this sample kit did not include a user manual!

This is an auto-draw (MTL and RDL) device that has a height of 76.9mm with the pod installed and is 53.1mm in width. 

Freemax Galex Nano Kit From the top

The pod bay contains 2 spring-loaded gold contact points as well as 2 fairly strong magnets that match those of the pod keeping the pod stable within the bay.

Next to the pod bay is advertising “Galex Nano” and a lanyard cable slot (lanyard is not included).

Freemax Galex Nano Chassis

The metal body of the Galex Nano is made of a Zinc Alloy material that has been well-sculpted and rounded for a comfortable grip!

On one of the edges of the device, you will see the metal action (fire) button and above this is a tiny airflow hole.

This device has a screen that is for displaying the light show and for visual display of one of the 3 voltage options, I’ll cover the lights and the operation later in this review.

You will see printed on the screen very faintly “Galex Nano”, also you are able to see the main board.

Directly under the pod bay, but above the screen is more advertising “Freemax” and the back side of the device is plain!

Freemax Galex Nano Base

On the bottom of the mod is a USB Type C charge port for charging the 800mah battery, along with the normal safety marks.

Freemax Galex Nano (Child resistant) Pod

This GX Pod is rated ISO 8317 child resistant and has a 2ml capacity.

It is also stated that these pods don’t leak, due to the structure of the GX coils and a cotton pad installed inside the base of the pod connection.

The pod has 2 small air valves on the bottom for airflow.

Constructed from plastic, the main part of the pod is clear, which makes it easy to see when you need to top up your e-liquid.

This pod has a top fill port and it is covered by a black plastic cap/mouthpiece.

The two push-fit coils included with the kit are both FM SaltCoilTech 4.0 technology – SS904L mesh GX coils.

• GX 0.8Ω mesh coil – restricted direct-to-lung vaping
• GX 1.0Ω mesh coil – mouth-to-lung vaping

In the info I have gleaned, Freemax say these coils are good for 10 refills each. The added FM Maze structure of the coil extends the path of the liquid.

The mod has good manufacturing quality with a really nice design! The pod I feel could use some work – more about this later!

Quick Start Guide

Freemax GX Pod

• Prime your coil – do this by adding a few drops of liquid onto all exposed cotton!
• Push the coil into the GX Pod.
• Remove the black plastic cap/mouthpiece and fill it with e-liquid.
• Replace the cap and leave the device and pod alone for 3 minutes or so before vaping for the 1st time – this is so the cotton can soak up more liquid.

Freemax Galex Nano Device

• Ensure the device is fully charged before first use!
• The battery is charged via the type C USB port, utilizing a PC or a dedicated wall plug.

Galex Nano Operation

• Click the fire button x5 rapidly to turn the device on and off

Visual battery indicator lights:

• Green 100-70%
• Blue 70-35%
• Red 35-0%

Press the fire button x3 fast, to change the voltage output:

• Green 4.2V
• Blue 3.5V
• Red 3.3V

FYI – the output wattage for this device is between 11 and 22W.

Click the action button x2 fast to switch between lighting options:

• Unicolour
• Multicolour lights
• Turn the lights off

This is an auto draw device – meaning you suck for your vapour.

I was unable to find any safety information on the Freemax website!

How Does the Freemax Galex Nano Pod Kit Perform?

For this example I will be using the 1.0Ω coil within the Pod and filling it with Liberty Flights, 18mg freebase liquid, 50/50 “British Tobacco”.

While the FM SaltCoilTech 4.0 coils are good to go with Nic Salt Liquids, I try to avoid them as I personally suffer from dehydration and sleep deprivation while using Nic Salts!

Freemax Galex Nano – In Use

I have said in the past – I think that devices with lights are tacky and a waste of battery power and that I tend to turn LEDs off at the first opportunity LOL!

However with the Galex Nano I have not seen any appreciable drop in power as opposed to turning the lights completely off!

Let’s talk about the GX Pod!

In the time I have been testing this device I have experienced no leaking, apart from a little condensation residue in the pod bay, which is normal!

Earlier in the review, I said the GX Pod needs more work, this is concerning the black plastic cap!

It is extremely hard to remove from the pod device as I suffer from arthritis in my hands and fingers.

The pod cap/mouthpiece is very smooth so pulling it off is not an option for me, even trying to get a nail under the pod resulted in my fingers cramping up!

As you can see, I did manage to remove the cap, by placing the pod in the device and pushing it so the cap snapped off!

I am slightly worried by this as I can see the plastic cap might at some point crack due to the thinness of the plastic!

A simple nail notch or projection on the cap would have saved worry.

Freemax Galex Nano – Voltage and Draw

I have been using the Blue 3.5V setting with the 1.0Ω coil in place, this has given me a smooth flavourful MTL vaping experience with acceptable vapour production.

I know – I’m not much of a mouth-to-lung vaper but while the draw is on the tighter side I have felt very comfortable using this kit!

Battery life

I have been impressed with the longevity of the internal battery, while quite small (800mAh) it has lasted me on average 6 hours.

I am entering my 2nd week with this coil, only now am I starting to experience a slight drop of flavour.

The pod holds 2ml of e-liquid, as a mouth-to-lung vape I can live with this, although a bigger liquid capacity would have been nice for restricted direct-to-lung.

Charging is a little longer than I expected for such a small battery just under 50 minutes via my PC’s USB 2 port.

Pros

Galex Nano device

• Great Quality
• Good Design
• Good battery life (MTL)
• LED lights

GX Pod

• Good flavour
• Acceptable vapour production
• Good quality
• Great coil life (1.0Ω)

Cons

I have no concerns with the Galex Nano Device itself but with the pod…

• Hard to remove pod cap

Final Review Verdict

This is a fun little kit to own, and putting it up alongside the other light-up devices I own by Freemax I have my own mini disco-tec LOL.

The only thing that put a slight dampener on my enthusiasm was the pod cap! Seriously being the idiot I am it took me quite a while to figure out how to snap the cap off without giving myself hand cramps LOL.

Would I recommend the Freemax Galex Nano Pod Kit?

This is a great fun kit, perfect for all levels of vapers, so “Yes” I’d recommend it, but I’d also add a warning about the pod cap!

Would I buy this device again due to loss or damage?

I would consider buying this kit again.
