Aspire Favostix Mini Review: 700mAh Slim MTL Pod Kit

The Aspire Favostix Mini is a slim, pen-style pod kit built for simplicity. A 700mAh battery and refillable Favostix pods with a built-in coil keep it easy, while a choice of MTL or RDL pods lets you set the draw without any menus.

It suits vapers who want a lightweight, affordable device that still gives a real choice between a tight and a looser draw.

• Battery: 700mAh built-in
• Output: up to 15W, auto-set to the fitted pod
• Pods: refillable Favostix pods, 3mL (2mL TPD), PCTG
• Coils: integrated Kanthal AF mesh — 1.0Ω pod (MTL) and 0.6Ω pod (RDL), non-replaceable
• Charging: USB Type-C (1A, about 40 minutes)
• Build: zinc alloy

The Favostix Mini keeps a slim, lightweight zinc-alloy body that is easy to pocket. The pod refills by unplugging the seal, and with the coil built into the pod there is nothing else to assemble.

Output is automatic up to 15W, setting itself to whichever pod you fit, so there are no buttons or menus. The 1.0Ω pod gives a tight MTL draw; the 0.6Ω pod runs warmer for a looser RDL draw. The 700mAh battery covers a day of light use and charges in about 40 minutes over USB Type-C.

What fits the Favostix Mini: pods

• Pods with integrated coil. The Favostix Mini uses refillable Aspire Favostix pods with the Kanthal AF mesh coil built in — a 1.0Ω pod for MTL and a 0.6Ω pod for RDL. The coil is not replaceable on its own, so you swap the whole pod.
• Compatibility. It takes the Favostix pod range and works with nicotine salts and freebase e-liquid.

Pros: slim, light and affordable; auto output with no menus; choice of MTL or RDL pods; fast ~40-minute USB-C charge; zinc-alloy build.

Cons: small 700mAh battery; integrated coil means replacing the whole pod; output capped at 15W.

Pairing: the 1.0Ω MTL pod suits Black Note nicotine salts and 50/50 blends; the 0.6Ω pod takes a higher-VG blend. Explore the full Black Note e-liquid range.
