One of the latest releases from Horizon Tech is the Horizon Tech Micco N16000! A disposable vaping device that has a large range of different flavours and up to 16000 puffs from each device!

Please Note: The N16000 is not available to purchase in the UK.

Horizon Tech (or simply just Horizon) made a name for themselves with some popular sub ohm tanks. Going back to the Arctic Turbo and the Falcon, then more recently they have scored some big hits with the Aquila Sub Ohm tank and the Falcon Legend.

Not only have they specialised in sub ohm tanks, Horizon Tech have already had a foray into the disposables market, with the Binaries range of disposable vapes. Plus they have also released some pod kits such as the Talons and the Adamats.

Before I start this review I need to make you aware that this product is not available in the UK or other TPD regulated countries. The Horizon Micco N16000 will only be available in non-TPD markets such as North America.

What Can We Expect From The Horizon Tech Micco N16000?

Up to a whopping 16,000 puffs for starters if Horizon Tech’s claims are correct! And one of the most striking aspects that you will notice at first is the design of each one, with a range of different colours and lighting patterns.

20ml worth of e-liquid is contained within each one, with a range of 15 different flavours to pick from. You also have the ability to adjust the wattage from 10-20W. Also the airflow can be adjusted via a slider located at the base of the device.

The e-liquids contained in the Horizon Tech Micco N16000 are blended with 50mg nicotine salt. This means that you get a quicker and more satisfying nicotine hit than traditional freebase nicotine, as it is absorbed into the bloodstream faster.

Nicotine salt offers smooth flavour delivery too, so you can vape stronger nicotine strengths without a nasty harsh throat hit.

Alternating dual mesh 0.8ohm coils are used in order to provide the smoothest possible vaping experience with no burnt taste. And Horizon Tech know how to do coils, judging by the performance of previous tanks and kits that they have released!

Another feature of the Micco N16000 devices is the smart screen. This displays the selected wattage level, how much e-liquid is left in the device and how much battery charge remains. Pretty cool for a disposable!

In this review, I’ll be covering the function and performance of the Horizon Tech Micco N16000 disposable vapes, as well as my own personal thoughts on the e-liquid flavours. I couldn’t actually find flavour descriptions for each flavour at the time of writing, so I’ll be going off my experiences from the flavours! As with any e-liquid, your experiences may differ.

Horizon Tech kindly sent through the full range of all 15 of the Micco N16000 disposable vape flavours, so there is a lot to cover in this review!

With that in mind let’s see how these perform!

Design and Build Quality

Upon getting this out of the box and holding it, my first impression was that this is a big old beast when it comes to a disposable.

With measurements of 42mm x 25mm x 101mm it is bigger than some pod systems and vaping kits that I own. Not surprising when you consider how much is packed into this!

horizon-micco-in-hand

Micco N16000’s are constructed out of Polycarbonate and seem to be well made, they are quite robust and don’t actually feel too heavy in hand.

Quite nice to hold too, with the rounded edges sitting nicely in the palm of my hand. Although they feel robust, the large smart screen on the front is an absolute magnet for fingerprints as well as scratches.

The smart screen displays a pattern when lit up, which will happen when you take a puff on the device, adjust the power setting or put it onto charge whereby it will pulsate until it has finished charging.

micco-n16000-vape

On top of the device you’ll find a fixed mouthpiece with a pretty large bore for a disposable. At the base of the Micco N16000 is the airflow adjustment slider and a USB-C charging port.

Inside the device is 20ml worth of 50mg nicotine salt-based e-liquid as well as a rechargeable 650mah battery.

micco battery

Overall I think the Horizon Tech Micco N16000’s look awesome, they definitely stand out from the rest of the disposable crowd. The cool pattern and lighting on the smart screen definitely helps in this regard!

Quick Start Guide

You can just get on and start vaping these right out of the box without messing about if you so wish! Just remove the protective cap from the mouthpiece and the stickers from the screen and the base of the device.

Each Micco N16000 had between 85-90% battery charge straight out of the box.

Power can be adjusted by pressing the plus and minus buttons from 10-20W in 1W increments.

micco output

This will be displayed on the smart screen as you are adjusting it. When you’ve finished, the current battery level will be displayed as a percentage. Next to this, you can see the juice level displayed as three bars within a drop of liquid, so you can keep a track of how much juice you have got left inside.

micco screen

If the pattern on the smart screen isn’t to your taste, simply hold down both the plus and minus buttons to switch it off.

The wattage/power level and e-liquid level will still display on the device however whenever pressing any of the buttons and taking a draw.

Adjustable airflow is present and this can be adjusted by using the slider at the base of the device.

You also get USB-C fast charging and to charge the Micco N16000 you simply plug a USB-C cable into the charging port at the base and plug the cable into a power source.

Flavours

Triple Berries

triple-berriesThere’s unmistakably a huge whiff of Blackcurrant coming out of this one when I open it. And I love Blackcurrant, so this had me keen to dive in!

I don’t know if it was the smell that affected my palate, but I felt that the most dominant flavour was definitely Blackcurrant. It coated my tastebuds right from the inhale and was the only flavour note I could detect in my mouth afterwards.

I’m thinking there might be an undertone of Raspberry, but as for a third berry I’m totally lost here. I couldn’t pick up on anything else!

The sweetness level is pretty spot on. It’s sweet enough to get my mouth watering, but not so sweet that I couldn’t enjoy vaping it.

I couldn’t help but think that this tasted like a Blackcurrant Chewit, with a similar mouthfeel at the end. And I really didn’t mind that, as it was one of my favourites as a child, so I very much enjoyed vaping this one!

Strawberry Banana

strawberry-bananaThere’s a good blend between the two flavours here.

The Strawberry comes in first and tastes nice and authentic, then I pick up on an undertone of Banana. I didn’t find to be overly sweet, with the sweetness of the Strawberry being cut through by the ripe Banana undertone.

It’s pretty tasty and a straightforward flavour combination!

Cherry Peach

cherry-peachThis is a bit of an intriguing flavour combo!

I found it works quite well too! An authentic tasting Red Cherry flavour that offers a rich element to the flavour experience, mixed in with a sweet and juicy Peach flavour. I get the Cherry flavour first, with the Peach coming in towards the exhale and I found that it is the most predominant aftertaste for me.

The Peach isn’t too sweet either and blends in well with the Cherry offering a good contrast of rich and sweet flavour notes. Tasty stuff!

Sour Apple Ice

sour-apple-iceWow, this definitely hit the spot. I absolutely loved this one right from the very first puff.

There’s a sharp and sour Red Apple flavour that is followed up with a very pleasing cooling sensation. Though I’m still left with a sour taste on my tongue afterwards, though that isn’t wholly unpleasant!

It is quite like the aftertaste from a sour sweet, but not overpoweringly so.

Blending is absolutely fantastic, with this being a delightful and flavoursome vape. One I really enjoyed and used every single day since I started it. Sour Apple Ice is my pick of this range!

I enjoyed the flavour that much I am going to award it a rare 10/10!

Cotton Candy

cotton-candyI’m not really getting it with this one. In fact, I’m not really getting much flavour at all out of it.

I did try adjusting the wattage settings and having a play with the airflow, opening and closing it down, but flavour wise it just wasn’t there for me. It felt like the concentrates could have been cranked up a fair notch.

I didn’t get a lot apart from some sweetness and hint of candy flavouring, that was about it. I know Cotton Candy itself isn’t exactly bursting with flavour but I have tried other Cotton Candy flavoured disposables that packed a lot more flavour than this one did!

Gum Mint

gun-mintHmmm, couldn’t help but think of Spearmint Chewing Gum whilst I was vaping on this!

Gum Mint has a similar vibe and mouthfeel to chewing on a piece of Spearmint Chewing Gum in my opinion. The mint flavouring is right there, it seems like there’s a slight cooling sensation and there’s a texture of gum left in my mouth afterwards.

It isn’t a bad little vape if I’m going to be honest, it certainly wasn’t one of my favourites out of the range but it does the job and lives up to the name!

Cool Mint

cool-mintCool Mint is crisp mint flavouring, with a breezy cooling undertone present.

Authentic mint flavouring is present and correct on the inhale, tasting much like a mint leaf itself. With a cooling undertone coming in quite quickly and leaving a chill at the back of my throat. And that is about it, there’s not too much else to report on this one!

Saying that it did serve as a pretty good palate cleanser when I have been trying out multiple different flavours, so it did have its uses.

Cool Mint isn’t the most exciting or enticing flavour option in the Micco N16000 range but it will have its fans, that is for sure.

Watermelon Bubblegum

watermelon-bubblegumAh good, two of my least favourite flavours when it comes to vaping, so can’t say that I was hugely enthused about giving this one a go!

I found it to have quite a strong element of Watermelon present and the Bubblegum flavour is quite strong too. Generally I haven’t found the Micco N16000 range to be too over-flavoured, but I felt that this one was.

I found both the flavour elements were too strong, even with the wattage turned down.

Definitely not one for me I am afraid.

Watermelon Ice

watermelon-iceAnother one that is packing a bit too much flavour concentrate for me. I’ll still never understand how Watermelon flavours do so well but hey ho! (Editor Note: I totally agree!!)

There’s a strong hit of Watermelon from the get go, that tastes quite artificial and had a strange chemical taste in the background that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It wasn’t pleasant that is for sure.

Thankfully the cooling element is quite strong too which helps to cleanse my palate of the artificial Watermelon taste.

Again, not another one for me unfortunately!

Peach Ice

peach-iceThis could be a really great Peach flavour if only the Peach flavouring was turned up just a notch!

The Peach flavouring is nice and authentic, but just a touch too subtle especially when I compare it to other Peach ice disposables that I have tried. It also seems to be lacking in the sweetness and juiciness departments and the ice element is pretty subtle too, with just a slight cooling nip whereas I would have preferred this to be a bit stronger.

I also got a bit of a weird floral aftertaste as well, but that could well just be my palate!

Peach Ice isn’t a bad vape by any stretch, it could just do with being a touch stronger in the flavour department.

Strawberry Kiwi

strawberry-kiwiI’m enjoying the authentic tasting Strawberry and Kiwi present in this.

I felt that the Strawberry and Kiwi flavour notes tasted almost like an authentic replication of the actual fruits themselves and the two flavours are a tried and tested winning combination when blended well together.

And thankfully Horizon Tech have got the blending spot on, with the two flavour notes individually detectable rather than having one overpowering the other. It’s a pleasing flavour combination that my tastebuds enjoyed!

Lemon Lime

lemon-limeLemon and Lime is a favourite of mine when vaping a disposable. You can’t really go wrong with vaping this age old tried and tested combination.

I’m pleased to report that this is an enjoyable Lemon and Lime vape, the two citrus elements really pleasing my tastebuds.

Both of them taste quite authentic and there’s a nice zing to this vape, as well as a decent sugary hit.

Lemon and Lime disposables seem to fall into two camps for me, they either taste like a Lemon Lime Ice Lolly or like a drink. The Micco N16000 version falls into the Ice Lolly camp in my opinion.

Frozen Raspberry Lemonade

frozen-raspberry-lemonadeFrozen Raspberry Lemonade ran Sour Apple Ice very close for my pick of the range!

The citrus Lemonade flavour is the most dominant flavour on the inhale and it is very tangy too, nice and sharp with some sweetness to it!

Raspberry is more of a subtle undertone and there is koolada present at the end to represent the frozen element of this flavour. It’s not too much of a cooling element though, but this blends in very nicely with the Lemonade and Raspberry flavour notes.

Honestly if this had lower strength nicotine I would have vaped through the whole thing in no time at all.

Blue Slurpee

blue-slurpeeThere’s Blueberries, Raspberries and koolada that combine to give off the authentic vibe of a Blue Slushie fresh out of the machine. The Blueberry and Raspberry taste quite candied and the level of koolada isn’t too overpowering but rather pleasant instead, blending in well with the fruits.

The only element is lacking from an actual Blue Slushie is the brain freeze you get from overdoing it too quickly!

Which is replaced with nicotine sickness if you hit this 50mg vape too hard and too often.

Blue Razz

blue-razzThis one kind of felt like the Blue Slurpee flavour minus the koolada.

In fact, the Blueberry and Raspberry were near enough identical to the Blue Slurpee flavour. Not a bad thing, as I did enjoy vaping the Blue Slurpee!

Instead of a cooling breeze at the end, you get a tang of sharp sweetness that lingers around in my mouth long after.

I guess this is an option for people who like their Blue Raspberry flavour without any koolada present!

How Do The Horizon Tech Micco N16000 Disposable Vapes Perform?

This is the only disposable vape that I have used that features both adjustable wattage and airflow, allowing you to really tailor your device. The 650mah battery is also rechargeable, which is handy, because I dread to think how big a non-rechargeable disposable with a 20ml juice capacity would be!

Battery life is decent enough to last me right up until the end of the day, which could also be down to the strength of the e-liquid inside.

mouthpiece

I usually vape 20mg nicotine salt-based e-liquids, so with these being 50mg I vape far less than I usually would as I get my hit pretty quickly. These charge up fast too, so you aren’t waiting around once the battery has run out.

Adjusting the wattage allows you to weaken or strengthen the vape according to your tastes. I can’t handle vaping 50mg nicotine at 20W for too long, as this delivers a really powerful hit! I found that the sweet spot for me was 14-16W, but this will be different for other people depending on how strong you like your nicotine hit.

Adjustable airflow offers the option of a mouth to lung (MTL) vape when closed right down and a restricted lung (RDL) hit when opened right up. When closed down, I found that the flavour is more intense and the draw is more akin to a cigarette. We tell you what the terms MTL and RDL mean in our Guide To Vaping Styles.

usb-charge-port

Opening it right up makes for an airier vape with bigger clouds, but I felt that the flavour takes quite a hit and becomes quite washed out. Setting it in the middle was ideal for my style.

One of the big claims from Horizon Tech is that these deliver 16,000 puffs. Honestly if I did a puff count on every single one of these devices I wouldn’t be getting this review written until the middle of the year!

So what I did was measure how many puffs I had taken before one of the bars on the e-liquid level present on the smart display disappeared, using the Triple Berries flavour. I counted 4,257 puffs before noticing that the first bar out of three had blinked out. So, I multiplied that by three to get 12,771 puffs- some way short of the 16,000 puff claim but still a sizeable amount of puffs.

I got nearly a massive two weeks of use out of a single one of these! Mileage is going to vary depending on your vaping style, how long you take a puff for, the selected power level and the airflow setting.

I can say that on the ones that I have finished, the battery hasn’t run out before the e-liquid has and I’ve not had a single dry hit. I have noticed that the performance of the vape does weaken the closer you get to having an empty battery, which is pretty standard for a disposable. Charging it brings it back up to full performance in no time.

Once the e-liquid has run out, you dispose of the whole device. No part of it is reusable, it is a fully closed system, so this is quite a lot of waste if you don’t have a vape recycling scheme nearby.

Pros

  • Some great looking designs
  • Adjustable wattage and airflow to tailor your vape
  • 50mg nicotine definitely satisfies a craving
  • Rechargeable battery
  • Fast charging
  • Long lifespan with 20ml of e-liquid
  • Some extremely tasty flavours in the range
  • Smooth vape
  • Restricted direct lung hit and mouth to lung hit options

Cons

  • No part of the Horizon Micco N16000 is reusable, so this is a lot of waste
  • Lack of flavour when having the airflow fully open
  • Battery can run down fairly quickly when vaping above 15W
  • Hits pretty hard at high wattage
  • Fruit heavy range, could do with some dessert and tobacco flavours

Final Verdict

Disposables are pretty well known for kicking out very concentrated flavours and the Micco N16000’s are no different. But these offer strong tasting flavours, that have been mixed very well and didn’t taste too overpowering for the most part with a pleasantly smooth vape present.

Lifespan is a huge plus point with these devices. 20ml worth of 50mg nicotine will last most people an absolute age, the nicotine hits quickly meaning you definitely don’t need to keep puffing away constantly on one of these.

Having the ability to customise your vape with adjustable wattage and airflow is great too, you can really tailor the vape on these to suit your vaping style. And with 15 different flavours available, most people are going to be able to find a flavour they love in this range.

They look outstanding too. The design of the Micco N16000 devices really sets them apart from the rest of the pack in the disposables game and I’m sure they will get heads turning and questions asked thanks to their eye-catching looks.

Many thanks to Horizon Tech for sending in the Micco N16000 range for review, I’m sure that I’m going to be vaping all of these well into the middle of 2024!

Vaping full time since 2012, started on cigalikes for a while then curiosity got the better of me and I moved onto an vape pens, a month or two later I was seeing people walking around with these interesting shiny tubes and I thought 'I gotta get one of those'. Before I knew it a trip down to my local B&M got me my first VW mod, an Innokin SVD, paired with an iClear 30, and I was hooked. Soon after that I was jumping to VW mods both box and tube shaped, before I then made the jump to rebuilding and thus sub ohming, with my first RDA and mech mod. These days I've come back to convenience and mainly use pods, disposables and the VOOPOO Drag H40. Most importantly I am still loving vaping!
