Why Vapers Love the Geekvape Wenax M: An In-Depth Review
The Geekvape Wenax M Starter Kit is a beginner-friendly 2-in-1 device, pairing a 400 mAh vape pen with a 2500 mAh power bank for extended use. It features 2 mL refillable pods with 0.8 ohm and 1.2 ohm coils for MTL vaping. The compact Wenax M1 Mini adds haptic feedback and USB-C charging for added convenience.
The Geekvape Wenax M Starter Kit enters the growing category of compact pod vapes paired with magnetic chargers, inspired by heated tobacco devices. Competing with options like the Aspire Vilter Pro and VOOPOO Doric Galaxy, the Wenax M stands out by combining a 400 mAh Wenax M1 Mini vape pen with a 2500 mAh power bank that can also charge small devices. It includes two pods: a 1.2-ohm pod with a built-in mouthpiece and a 0.8-ohm pod compatible with a Delrin drip tip or paper filter tips. But does it truly shine in this niche? Let’s find out!

Build quality and design
The Wenax M kit excels in build quality, featuring a 2900 mAh capacity in a compact, ergonomic design with a premium leathery finish and satisfying magnetic connections. The Earth Art colorway is classy, while the Avocado Green option leans more greenish-grey.
Unique haptic feedback, originating from the pod rather than the power bank, enhances the experience during charging and pod insertion. The Wenax M1 Mini vape pen is lightweight yet sturdy, with transparent pods that firmly click into place, making e-liquid monitoring effortless.
Getting started
Designed for beginners, the Wenax M kit is effortless to use with no buttons, settings, or airflow adjustments—just fill and vape. The side-filling port on the pod requires removal from the battery, though the thin silicone plug can make filling slightly tricky. Allow the pod to sit for five minutes after filling for proper wick saturation. The 0.8-ohm pod supports a replaceable paper filter option, while the M1 Mini charges via USB-C or the magnetic power bank connection.
Performance
The Wenax M1 Mini uses the same pods as the original Wenax M1, with the 0.8-ohm pod offering warmer, more flavorful vapor than the 1.2-ohm version. It works well with mid-strength juices like 9 mg freebase or 20 mg nicotine salts, delivering an impressive throat hit. While the paper filters are an option, they may feel mushy and attract gunk.
However, the 0.8-ohm pod can feel overpowered when fully charged, potentially shortening coil life with less clean nicotine salts. Cleaner e-liquids prolong pod life, making calibration to slightly lower wattage a potential improvement.
Battery life and charging
The Wenax M1 Mini’s 400 mAh battery lasts around 2 mL per charge, making the 2500 mAh power bank essential for all-day use. The power bank can charge USB-C devices, though compatibility varies—it worked with some disposables, earbuds, and a phone, but not all devices. While it’s best reserved for the Wenax M1 Mini, it can be a handy backup in emergencies.
Since this device can be charged in various ways, here’s some charging time info:
One hour 40 minutes to charge the power bank using a 2A charger
One hour 20 minutes to charge the pod using the power bank
Around 25 minutes to charge the Wenax M1 Mini using a 2A charger
The power bank provides around five full charges, offering closer to 2000 mAh usable capacity. Charging is slower than advertised at roughly 0.6A, but since the M1 Mini stays connected to the power bank most of the time, the slower charge rate isn’t a major issue.
Finally, both devices have color-coded LEDs for battery charge levels:
Green: 71-100%
Blue: 31-70%
White: <30%
Red: 0%
