In for review is the Titan 10K Vape Kit!
Manufactured by the same company that brought the wildly popular Gold Bar disposable vapes to the market, the Titan 10K vape kit promises to offer up to 10,000 puffs over its lifespan!
Alongside the Gold Bar range, they’ve also recently released the Gold Bar Reload Pod Kit which we’ve taken a look at for review. Plus some of the best selling flavours from the disposable Gold Bar range have found their way into the new Gold Bar E-liquid nicotine salts!
Thanks to Vape Club, we’ve got five of the Titan 10K range to look at in this review!
What Can We Expect From The Titan 10K?
10K in the name is a bit of a clue – yes, you’ve guessed it, these promise to deliver up to 10,000 puffs!
We will have a look at that claim in a bit more depth during the review…
So how would these give you 10,000 puffs, when your average disposable vape only promises 600 you might ask?
Well, this is because these come loaded with eight capsules, which are prefilled with 2ml of 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid, which in theory would outlast around 16 disposable vapes.
Capsule Click technology allows you to store three 2ml capsules on the device in reserve, whilst a further 2ml capsule is in use. And it is easy to switch an empty one for a new one. So, you’ve got 8ml of e-liquid on the go in the Titan 10K device there!
You also don’t have to worry about battery life when out and about, as a 1000mAh battery is built into the Titan 10k and this easily recharges via USB-C in under an hour.
Plenty of different flavours are available, with pretty much all the favourite disposable vape flavours featured. Vape Club are stocking 14 of the Titan 10K and they’ve sent us five flavours to have a look at.
So, let’s crack on with the review, and as always, all views are my own!

In terms of a user manual, the instructions on how to use the Titan 10K are printed on a sticker that you’ll find on the device. I will also cover how to use the kit during this review.
Design & Build Quality
On first impressions, I was quite surprised by how light the Titan 10K device feels in the hand. I don’t know why, but when I took my first one out of the box I was expecting it to be heavier…perhaps it was the Titan name having an effect on me!
Size wise, it sits nicely in my hand and is comfortable to hold, with a nice rounded edge that rests in my palm.
You have a fixed mouthpiece at the top and the USB-C charging port is located at the base of the device.
The Titan 10K logo and the flavour are printed quite prominently on the main body of each Titan 10K.
The standout feature is found at the side, where a magnetic door pops off to reveal where the e-liquid capsules are stored on the device.
This actually looks really cool, and definitely something a little different! I’ll cover how this system works a little further on in the review.
Overall, it’s fairly solid but unspectacular….but at the end of the day this is a £13 disposable device so it does the job in that area!
Quick Start Guide
Well, this is an auto draw device…so basically once you’ve got a capsule in place you just take a puff on it!
Obviously, you need to make sure you have a capsule in place, so that brings us to the next section of the review.
Capsule Click Technology
This is a pretty cool little feature and something a little different!
Each Titan 10K has a tank section located at the top of the device, with a built in coil, and this is filled by a pre-filled, 2ml capsule.
You need to take off the magnetic pod enclosure and remove the grey rubber stopper at the top.
Insert a brand new pod and turn it clockwise to lock it into place. After that, pop the magnetic pod enclosure back on and vape away.
Once the capsule is empty, turn it anti-clockwise to remove it, then recycle it.
It’s a very easy system in practice and takes mere seconds to get used to. Just don’t go removing a capsule before it is finished otherwise you’ll end up with e-liquid spilling everywhere!
Charging
You have a 1000mAh battery built into the Titan 10K, which is recharged via USB-C. No USB-C cable is supplied with the device so you will have to source your own!
There’s no LED indicator or anything to give you any idea of how much battery charge you’ve got left. When it’s about to run out the vape will just get quite weak before you can no longer take a puff on the kit.
When this happens, connect a USB-C cable to the charging port at the base of the device and it will charge up in a little under an hour.
How Does The Titan 10K Perform?
Flavours
Vape Club are stocking 14 of the Titan 10K flavours.
These are Pineapple Ice, Blue Raspberry, Cherry Fizz, Fruit Punch, Caribbean Cooler, Blueberry Cherry, Banana Ice, Cool Mint, Strawberry Kiwi, Watermelon Ice, Pink Burst, Strawberry Raspberry Cherry, Lemon Lime and Lemon Ice.
Great selection if you are into your fruity and sweet flavours…not so great if you are a fan of desserts and tobaccos!
That being said, they are targeting the disposable vape market after all, where fruity flavours reign supreme.
As mentioned, Vape Club sent us five from the range for review and here’s my thoughts on them…
Blue Raspberry
A decent combination of Blueberry mixed with a slightly more subtle Raspberry flavour that has a good balance of sweet and sour notes to it as well.
Mixing balance is pretty bang on, though I would have preferred a touch more Raspberry in this one!
Pineapple Ice
One of my favourite disposable flavours and this one is pretty bang on. A zingy and tangy Pineapple with a nice cooling nip at the end of it. The Pineapple flavour doesn’t boast loads of depth to it, but it does exactly what it needs to here.
Blueberry Cherry Cranberry
My pick of the range, and I didn’t expect it to be either!
Though I was pleasantly surprised by the blend of three flavours present here. You’ve got sweetness from the Blueberry, richness from the Cherry rounded off with sourness from the Cranberry. Plenty of tasty flavour to be found here!
Fruit Punch
I just found this one a bit odd to be honest, not offensively so, it was just a bit strange! Probably because it is very sweet and in my opinion it was the sweetest one out of the five that I got to try.
It’s supposed to be a mixed fruit Gummy Bear flavour, but any discernible flavours just get washed away in a multi-flavoured blend, topped off with a lot of sweetener. Weirdly, it did actually grow on me, so maybe I have got a hidden sweet tooth after all!
Caribbean Cooler
This is your typical exotic Caribbean fruit blend and again much like Fruit Punch there are a lot of different flavours at play here.
The most prominent flavour notes I got were Pineapple, Mango and Passionfruit. I’m pretty sure I was picking up on some citrus notes in the mix too!
It’s quite a tangy and punchy flavour and leaves a sweet coating in my mouth afterwards.
Device Performance
These are designed for mouth to lung vapers, so if you are a restricted lung hitter these won’t be for you.
Airflow is fixed, coming from a small hole at the base of the kit next to the USB-C charging port and gets drawn up through the device to the coil. There’s no way of adjusting the airflow, nor the wattage, this is a straight up MTL auto draw kit.
And it delivers a mouth to lung hit, that is slightly on the looser side. Definitely not a cheek-puckeringly tight mouth to lung draw, nor what you would expect to get from a cigarette!
There’s also a reasonable amount of vapour produced for a mouth to lung kit too.
Battery life is good enough to get you through a full day before needing to pop the device on for a charge. Although I definitely wouldn’t go away anywhere for a few days or to a weekend festival for example without access to power or a backup device or two!
It has been designed to last a full day, and that is pretty much exactly what it will do.
Do You Really Get 10,000 Puffs?
To sum it up quickly, no you don’t. It’s a pretty outlandish claim that you’ll get 10,000 puffs out of one of these and these do fall someway short!
I have yet to come across any device featuring a pod/capsule/cartridge with a 2ml capacity that will offer 1,000 or more puffs from each pod/capsule/cartridge. Most of them struggle to hit 500 and this is no different.
For example, when using the Fruit Punch kit, my first capsule managed 327 puffs before it ran out and needed to be switched over for the next one. And I wasn’t taking particularly long draws on it either.
So, if you took that figure and multiplied it by 8, that would give you 2,616 puffs in total.
Not even close to 10,000!
Perhaps they mean the device itself will go on for 10,000 puffs before the battery gives in?
(Editor note: also is the coil fixed? If so that might die before the battery?)
I’m not sure, and there’s no way of purchasing the capsules separately from what I can see. Which is a bit of a disappointment as once you’ve used up the pods, the whole device needs disposing of. Which is a lot of waste.
Pros
- Capsule Click cartridge design is easy to use and works great
- Auto draw, fuss free kit
- Very convenient vaping option
- Rechargeable battery
- Flavours are pretty decent
- Nice mouth to lung vape
- Good for beginners
Cons
- This doesn’t get close to 10,000 puffs!
- Whole kit needs disposing of when finished, lots of waste
- No option to just purchase the capsules on their own
- No adjustable airflow
- Full range is basically all fruit flavours
- No battery life indicator
Final Verdict
I must say, the capsule technology was something I absolutely loved on the Titan 10K devices, not only is it practical, I think it looks absolutely awesome as well!
These devices are a good option if you are in the market for an easy to use vaping kit, that comes with plenty of e-liquid, will last you through the day and offers a solid mouth to lung vape.
The most disappointing aspect for me is the waste aspect from these, as you can’t seem to purchase replacement capsules separately you are left with having to dispose of the entire device once you have finished with it.
It’s great that the battery can be recharged, but realistically you are only going to have to do that around 8-10 times throughout the lifespan of the capsules. Once the capsules are empty you’ve got a pretty useless device left in your hands.
I would like to see capsules available to purchase separately, if that is a possibility in the future!
Though at £13 a pop, these are a much better option than disposable devices, as you’ll get longer lifespan out of one of these and better value for your money.
