In this review we are taking a look at the latest prefilled pod kit from Fumot, the Fumot T9000 Pro Max!
Prefilled pod system specialists Fumot Technology are based in China, and boast a vast global reach for their products, which have garnered high praise for their innovative design, top quality and fantastic flavour technology.
The Fumot T9000 Pro Max follows on from the Ultra T32000 and Mate Pod kits, both of which we have recently reviewed!
What Can We Expect From The Fumot T9000 Pro Max?
Fumot’s new T9000 Pro Max is a prefilled pod system that is fully compliant with TPD standards, adopting a 2+10 modular design to deliver up to a huge 9000 puffs from a single kit!
These type of kits are entering the UK vape market as an alternative to disposable vapes.
The 2+10 modular system was developed by Fumot to meet current TPD vaping regulations, with the ‘2’ referring to the prefilled 2ml e-liquid pod and the ’10’ is the prefilled refill container.
Interestingly, the modular design allows for compliance and convenience in a single device, as the 2ml pod can be used on its own by connecting it directly to the device, or it can be installed into the 10ml refill container before being inserted.
Fumot have ensured that there is plenty of choice when it comes to flavours, as there are a whopping 36 different ones to pick from!
A cutting-edge mesh coil system maximises the surface area, ensuring consistent and even heating of the e-liquid, to really get the best out of the flavours.
You can vape away on this all day without any worries, due to the 1300mAh battery with Type-C charging capabilities.
And, in order to make the T9000 Pro Max really stand out, a bright RGB shines whilst vaping, displaying an array of different colours!
Many thanks to Fumot for sending the Fumot T9000 Pro Max in for review, let’s have a look at what these pod systems have to offer!
And as always, all views are my own…

Design & Build Quality
No beating around the bush here, the Fumot T9000 Pro Max is an absolute beast of a device, this thing really is huge (for a prefilled pod system)!
It has dimensions of 135mm x 32mm, I couldn’t see a listing for the weight from the manufacturer so I weighed one myself and it came out at 118g…making it a pretty heavyweight bit of kit and definitely not one of the most pocket friendly ones out there.
In fact, I got some pretty strange looks out in public when I had this in the pocket of my skinny jeans…
Anyway, it has a cylindrical design and the shape and weight reminded me somewhat of some of my old sub-ohm mechanical mods from back in the day. It does seem like some design inspiration has been taken from those!
On the base of the T9000 Pro Max is an RGB light display that flashes whenever you take a puff, and let me tell you…this thing is BRIGHT! I mean really bright, and it can’t be turned off either, which I wasn’t best pleased with.
Nevermind standing out in the crowd, you are probably visible from altitude with this, if I was lost at sea I would just puff away on one of these to make myself visible!
Quick Start Guide
With the Fumot T9000 Pro Max adhering to the latest TPD guidelines, you need to assemble the 2ml pod and 10ml refill container before you vape.
Or, thanks to the modular design, you can just go right ahead and get vaping on the pre-installed prefilled 2ml pod!
But we know the majority of you won’t do that and will want to utilize the 10ml refill container…
So, take the silicone mouthpiece off of the 2ml pod, align it with the 10ml refill container and push the two together. This might need a little bit of force applied, I certainly had to give it some!
After that, remove the insulating sticker from the base of the cartridge, insert the assembled pod and refill container into the top of the device and just take a puff on the mouthpiece to vape.
Charging
The Type-C charging port is located on the base of the device, so you won’t be able to stand the device up whilst charging, just plug a Type-C charging cable in and use a suitable power source to charge the Fumot T9000 Pro Max..
Flavours
In terms of flavour choice, you won’t find a prefilled pod kit range offering many more options than the Fumot T9000 Pro Max range does, with a huge 36 different options to choose from! 
These are-
Black Dragon Ice, Black Ice, Blue Razz Ice, Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, Blueberry On Ice, Blueberry Raspberry, Cherry Berry, Cherry Cola, Cherry Ice, Cherry Peach Lemonade, Cool Mint, Dr Blue, Fizzy Cherry, Grape Ice, Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, Lemon & Lime, Mixed Berries, Peach Berry, Peach Lemonade, Peachy Mango Pineapple, Raspberry Watermelon, Straw Mango, Strawberry Banana, Strawberry Ice, Strawberry Pom (Pomegranate), Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice, Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry Watermelon Bubblegum, Summer Peach Ice, Tiger Blood, Watermelon Ice, Banana Custard, Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Skittles and Strawberry Ice Cream.
Fumot sent me eight different T9000 Pro Max kits to try out, and here are my thoughts on them-
Peach Berry
On the inhale, I get a very syrupy sweet peach flavouring that reminded me of the syrup present in canned peaches (don’t ask me how I know how that tastes!).
A mixed berry blend rounds off the syrupy peach, delivering a blast of berries to contrast against the syrupy peach.
It’s a little on the sweet side, appealing to vapers who have a sweet tooth, but it goes well with the disposable-style vibe of the blend.
Dr Blue
Dr Blue gave me a blue raspberry slushie vibe, I got a strong hit of blue raspberry to start things off with a chilly undertone to it. And of course there is a very sweet finish to this too!
Other than that, there wasn’t much else to it!
Strawberry Watermelon
This is a blend of candied strawberry and watermelon flavourings, both of which tasted pretty strong and there was a sharp aftertaste as a result.
There’s a lot of sweetener here as expected, but even that didn’t cut through the sharp aftertaste.
Fizzy Cherry
Whilst vaping Fizzy Cherry, I noticed I had an odd throat hit like sensation at the back of my throat with each puff, it made my throat tickle and occasionally made me cough, which isn’t something I have noticed with a fizzy cherry blend before!
I’m not sure what it was but it was definitely an odd sensation! Perhaps I was reacting to an ingredient in the e-liquid blend, as this wouldn’t be the first time, but I’m not certain on this!
Aside from the weird throat sensation, Fumot have developed a pretty solid fizzy cherry blend. The cherry flavouring is quite candied and sweet tasting, and I can definitely pick up on the fizz in the blend.
Straw Mango
Straw Mango is a blend of strawberry and mango, just in case you hadn’t guessed already from the name!
It’s a nicely blended one from Fumot too, though it doesn’t do anything too special.
The strawberry tastes like a candied strawberry flavour, and the mango could have been a little bit stronger. That being said, it is a pleasant enough and easy going blend.
Raspberry Watermelon
I expected a lot more from this if I’m going to be honest, especially from the raspberry note!
I wasn’t getting much in the way of raspberry flavouring at all in this blend, it just seemed to be dominated by a strong and sharp watermelon flavour and plenty of sweetener too.
Not my cup of tea if I’m honest!
Blueberry Raspberry
A bold blueberry flavour takes the lead on the inhale, accented by a subtle floral undertone. The exhale brings a new dimension with the bright, slightly tart taste of raspberry, creating a well-balanced and harmonious blend.
While the flavours are nicely intertwined, the blueberry has a slight edge in intensity over the raspberry.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the floral notes that I was picking up on though!
Blueberry Cherry Cranberry
The flavour notes in the this blend don’t so much contrast as they clash.
The blueberry is overpowering- a syrupy, artificial sweetness that dominates everything else. It completely smothers the subtle tartness of the cherry, leaving you with a muddled, indistinct berry taste.
Any potential for a sharp, sour finish from the cranberry is lost entirely, drowned out by the excessive sweetness.
It’s an unbalanced and disappointing mix that promises complexity but delivers only a sugary, one-note experience.
How Does The Fumot T9000 Pro Max Perform?
As expected from a device like this, the wattage output and airflow is fixed. I couldn’t find the resistance of the coil on Fumot’s website, but I do know that it features ‘cutting-edge’ mesh coil technology with a ‘low-resistance’ coil.
Fumot have bucked the trend of ‘duck-bill’ styled or flat mouthpieces, commonly featured on the majority of prefilled pod systems, and they’ve gone with an ‘old-fashioned’ cylindrical shaped one.
As it’s been so long since I vaped a device featuring a cylindrical mouthpiece, I found it kind of weird to begin with!
The end result is a pretty tight mouth to lung vape, that definitely appeals to beginner vapers and those switching from disposables, with a satisfying level of vapour produced that isn’t on the anti-social side.
Battery Life
Battery life is a big plus point with the Fumot T9000 Pro Max. You’ve got a 1300mAh battery and just straightforward vaping with no bells and whistles sucking the life out of it…aside from the multi-coloured searchlight at the base.
This thing goes on and on from a full charge, I could easily get more than a day out of it, reducing battery anxiety big time.
How Many Puffs Do You Get From A Fumot T9000 Pro Max?
As with any pre-filled device, I wouldn’t read too much into any claims made around how many puffs you will get.
This is always variable, and will depend on factors such as how frequently you vape, the output power and coil resistance of the device, and how long you draw on the kit for!
Many manufacturer puff counts are obtained in laboratory settings by measuring puffs that last for less than one second, so this is often not reflective of how people vape in reality.
Anyway, I measured how many puffs I got from a single Fumot T9000 Pro Max (which took me almost a week!) and I got a total of 3,420 puffs.
Pros
- Set up for beginners
- Lots of different flavour options
- Long battery life
- Plenty of puffs
Cons
- Pretty mahoosive, weighty bit of kit
- Cylindrical mouthpiece might feel odd for some users
- Pod and refill container needed a fair bit of pressure to fit them together
- Flavours I tried were a bit hit and miss
- I wasn’t a big fan of the bright RGB display at the base and it can’t be turned off!
Final Verdict
With the T9000 Pro Max, there’s aspects I liked here, and there’s also some that I didn’t either.
There’s no getting away from it, this is a BIG device! It is tall and weighty, so definitely not one for those that like a stealthy kit. Also, some of the flavours I tried were a bit hit and miss, but I only tried out a small sample of the 36 flavours that are on offer.
And I definitely was not a fan of the bright RGB light at the base either!
Plus points here are that this is a kit that will be easy to get to grips with if you are a beginner. Battery life is good enough to get you through a full day and you’ll get a lot of puffs from each kit.
There’s a lot of flavours to pick from too!
Finally, these seem to be quite well priced in the UK. For under £9 you are getting a kit that provides a lot of puffs and good battery life, so this kit will be a good option for the budget-conscious, as you can get about a weeks worth of vaping from one T9000 Pro Max!
