Today I’m taking a gander at the MOTI POP disposable vape.
It seems that MOTI are developing a trend. It’s a trend most responsible vapers will be deeply concerned about. Especially so given that (for right or wrong) disposables vapes are extremely popular among certain age groups.
I’ve already expressed my own feelings about novelty shaped vapes with the MOTI Beaker 5000 review so I won’t go into further detail, suffice to say the design I find questionable.
The MOTI POP follows the same path as the MOTI PIIN 2 and MOTI S LITE in that it has TPD compliant variants which are available inside and outside of the EU.
Let’s have a quick look around it then concentrate on the flavour, vapour production, battery life and number of puffs, eh?
What Can We Expect From the MOTI POP Disposable Vape?
As alluded to, MOTI are covering all bases with the MOTI POP disposable. It’s available in 20mg and 50mg salt nicotine strengths.
The POP contains 2ml of e-liquid (TPD) or 5ml (Non EU) and is powered by a 650mAh integrated battery. It’s designed to last for up to 800 puffs with the 2ml version and 1200 for the non EU edition.
The MOTI POP measures 106mm in height, has a width of 38mm and is 15mm thick.
It’s comprised of Poly Carbon (PC) and the ‘stick’ is made from Silicone. A single white LED illuminates behind it when auto drawing. There are two pin hole airflow inlets either side of the stick.
These assist the restrictive mouthpiece opening on top of the ‘lolly’.
A premium polymer cotton is used in conjunction with the round wire coil. It pumps out a constant 8W throughout the life span of the disposable. Unfortunately I was unable to discover the resistance of said coil..
The MOTI POP is currently available in 13 different flavours. These range from desserts, drinks, tobacco, fruits and mint. More are on the way to bring the number up to 20.

I’ve received the 2ml version of the MOTI POP for the purposes of review.
There were no flavour descriptions on the official MOTI site so I’m going in blind folded.
MOTI POP – Arabic Apple
I Say:
I Say:I’ve no idea what Arabic Apple is supposed to taste like. If it’s anything like a delicious ripe green variety then I’m more than happy.
That’s what we’re getting here. The good news is that it’s not overly sweet but it does have a very sharp snap on the exhale. It reminds me of the acidic content of the fruit.
Yes, it does taste juicy and combines with a lot of sourness to provide a pretty good replication of Adam’s favourite fruit.
I would say that the iciness of the inhale is a little overboard. It hits the roof of the mouth and then seems to become more intense after wards.
It’s the ‘stinging’ factor as I refer to it. That includes how long it hangs around. In the case of Arabic Apple I’d give it an 8/10. Unnecessarily intense and does take away some of the enjoyment of the vape.
MOTI POP – Lemon tart
I Say:
I Say:Oh dear! What a crying shame. More Coolada used! It’s not too intense but still ruins what should have been a classic bakery style vape.
What I get instead is a mixture of ice and sweetness. Even the Lemon content has been subdued. There’s a pastry base struggling to get out but it’s never fully realised.
Some of the cause could be put down to the inherent power of the coil. Then again, I’ve had successful recreations of this profile from other disposables. They simply omit the icy cold blast.
It doesn’t even attempt to replicate an ice cream topping and simply interferes with the enjoyment of the vape. The overall taste suffers, I’m afraid.
MOTI POP – Red Storm
I Say:
I Say:I’ve got to be honest. I didn’t like the aroma Red Storm was giving off once released from its vacuum sealed baggie.
The resulting exhale was an altogether different experience and one I liked! This is your classic number one Scottish beverage in all its Irn tasting glory.
So that’s kind of odd, really because I wouldn’t associate the light Blue colour of the ‘lolly’ with this popular beverage.
The flavour is very intense but also highly consistent throughout the exhale. That candy, sweet texture is on show and really makes Red Storm a tasty vape.
The icy sting is in full effect throughout but on this occasion works to keep it refreshing and invigorating.
MOTI POP – Rich Tobacco
I Say:
I Say:Now this one is quite well done. It actually has a slight throat kick on the inhale. It’s also pleasing to note the absence of any cooling effect. (That would be a silly move).
We’ve got a Virginian tobacco of sorts and if the colour of the disposable is anything to go by it’s likely to be the Brown variety as opposed to Gold or Red.
Rich Tobacco isn’t the strongest of flavours but I had enjoyment with quick successive pulls. They were satisfying and took me back to my early days of vaping.
It’s a rather dry vaping experience and does lack some of the sweeter elements of other Tobacco strains but it gets the job done.
So it’s a flavour I could recommend to any new vaper. I’d like to think Rich Tobacco is the kind of vape that helps to make that all important transition.
MOTI POP – Strawberry Ice Cream
I Say:
I Say:I more or less knew what to expect from the smell of the mouthpiece. The aroma was quite strong.
Some might think the sweetener is overdone but I would disagree. Everything comes together quite brilliantly with Strawberry Ice Cream.
The icy cold blast that introduces the vape is just what’s needed to replicate the experience of a brow cooling Ice Cream mid Summer. It’s accompanied by a rich, creamy Strawberry that while not entirely natural tasting seems to fit the bill here to a tee.
It’s not creamy enough to create a yoghurt style vape but more in keeping with Strawberry Pavlova. No bad thing since I’m partial to a spoonful or four!
The sugar lips effect after the exhale is just the ‘icing’ on this particular vape. I’m impressed – it has a bit more complexity than others in the range.
MOTI POP – Tropical Mango
I Say:
I Say:This is certainly a tropical inspired vape, without doubt. The Mango is very refreshing and tasty. The only thing missing is the juicier element of the fruit.
More emphasis has been placed on the sweeter properties but that’s not say Tropical Mango is sickly in any way. The flavour is bright and popping, acting as a worthy thirst quencher for the long, hot Summer months.
This is a no nonsense kind of vape. A single fruity, tropical taste to stimulate the taste buds. It does that quite well, I found.
The cooling agent also helps to liven the vape. It will remain dominant but doesn’t destroy any of the enjoyment.
Tropical Mango is a vape that’s sure to appeal to the masses. It’s not pretending to be something it isn’t.
MOTI POP – Cola Fizz
I Say:
I Say:It’s as much about the icy cold blast as it is the flavour with Cola Fizz.
It’s a fifty-fifty split – straight down the line and it creates a well balanced vape in this respect. The vape is light, cool and refreshing as a result.
The Cola, rather understandably under such wattage constraints is rather flat. So don’t expect any of the fizz mentioned in the name. It’s not there. In all honesty I’ve yet to experience a fizz from any vape. At least not in the kind generally associated from the canned beverage variety.
So think Cola Cube instead. The reason I say this is because it contains the same syrupy sweetness. However, and rather thankfully it’s not of the sickly, face pulling variety.
I’m not once reminded of a beverage style vape – it’s more in keeping with the sweets category.
If that’s more your bag then I’m sure you’ll find Cola Fizz enjoyable.
Battery Performance and Number of Puffs
I vaped the MOTI POP disposable for 11 hours continuous. Based on my own vaping habits this meant I achieved a grand total of 792 puffs.
More or less precisely what MOTI claims. Good work!
The battery will fail before the 2ml of juice runs out so there’s no worry of dry hitting to contend with.
Overall the disposable was extremely reliable, delivering a consistently good vape throughout the test period.
MOTI POP – Final Review Verdict
One thing I have to note about the disposables is that although they arrived in vacuum sealed bags there were no stickers covering the airflow inlets. The silicone plug usually inserted into the mouthpiece was also absent.
The MOTI POP gives off a very good MTL vape. The auto draw is flawless and vapour production is suitably stealthy so expect to be able to throw out a few inconspicuous vapes now and then.
Flavour holds up well although it will degrade as the battery reaches its last hour or so. I think that’s par for the course, to be honest.
As far as vaping on a day to day basis? No real issues at all. It’s lightweight and slim enough for a trouser or shirt pocket. It can also be concealed by most of the hand for those slightly embarrassed by the form factor.
Let’s face it. It is going to be a talking point!
..Now if I can only stop accidentally vaping from the ‘stick’ end.
