STLTH 8K Pro Review: A Hard-Hitting Disposable for Canadians

Design & Build Quality

STLTH’s 8K Pro disposables are nice little devices and they’re especially small compared to what I’m used to. They’re only 84mm tall, 45.7mm wide, and 26mm thick and this makes them very compact and portable. This is more or less what I would expect from a device that only offers 8000 puffs so no surprises here.

I’ve become so used to large, 20,000+ puff disposables that the STLTH 8K Pro feels like a miniature device to me. It’s a nice change though and I’ve been happily taking these little guys with me everywhere I go – and often forgetting that I have so many different flavors on me.

The body is all plastic but it feels durable enough. It’s finished with a soft touch coating that enhances the feel of the device and which makes them look more complete. The coating also adds grip to what would otherwise be a slippery device.

There’s a large STLTH logo on the front of the device, while the back of the device has the flavor. There’s also a small, circular display on the front which shows battery life and ejuice levels.

Finally, the bottom of the device has a Type-C charging port and an adjustable airflow slider. The airflow slider is very stiff so it is a pain to adjust if you have short nails. On the bright side, it stays where it is adjusted to and won’t move accidentally.

Overall, the STLTH 8K Pro has a very simple design but it’s not ugly and it doesn’t feel cheap. I like the simplicity and small size as it’s a nice change from larger, high-puff disposables; especially if portability is a main concern.

Features

The STLTH 8K Pro doesn’t have too many features so this section is going to be relatively short. Each one offers up to 8,000 puffs from 14ml of nicotine salt ejuice. This ejuice is a 20mg/ml nicotine strength, which is the highest available in Canada.

The main feature is the LED display, which is pretty simple overall. It’s a small circular screen with a battery percentage readout, along with a very, very small droplet icon for ejuice levels.

As the ejuice gets used up, the droplet will change colors. The droplet is honestly so small that it’s difficult for me to see it, let alone for someone with vision issues. Come on STLTH, if you’re going to include an ejuice indicator on your device, at least make it large enough to be easily viewed!

Battery life & Charging

The STLTH 8K Pro is a small device but considering the size, it still has a reasonably large 800mAh battery. I’ve had a good experience with using these, usually getting through about two days of vaping before having to recharge.

These are rated for 8000 puffs and I expect that they’ll last for at least close to that number of puffs. Only after my second full use of a charge did the ejuice indicator drop down, and I vape rather heavily throughout the day.

Recharging takes an hour using a standard Type-C charging cable plugged into a wall charger. These do not support pass-thru charging so they cannot be used while they recharge.

Flavors

The number of flavors available for the STLTH 8K Pro is one of the most attractive selling-points for this product. There are over 30 flavors available and there’s even a tobacco flavor, which is rare to see. 

For this review, I was sent five flavors to test out. These flavors are Quad Berry, Kiwi Dragon Berry Ice, White Grape Ice, Peach Blue Razz Ice, and Blood Orange Ice.

What I really like about the STLTH 8K Pro is the flavor page on STLTH’s website. It shows a description of the flavor, the key flavors, and a rating of the flavor intensity, sweetness, and ice level. It’s way more in-depth than the majority of disposables out there and it can give you a general idea of what a flavor is going to be like before you use it.

For this section of this review, I’m going to describe how five flavors taste to me and what I think of them. However, keep in mind that just because I like a flavor that does not mean that you will like it. Similarly, if I don’t like a flavor this does not mean that you will not like it. This is solely my subjective opinion.

Quad Berry

This mix of blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry is a hit. The blueberry notes are strong, while the other fruit flavors are more subtle and in the background. This flavor is very strong and wet. It’s also very sweet. STLTH rates the sweetness as a three out of five but I think it’s more of a four out of five. There’s also supposed to be some ice here but I don’t taste it at all.

Blood Orange Ice

An orange soda flavor with a hint of ice. This is not as sweet as quad berry but there’s noticeable cooling. It’s also a little tangy, which is nice. I’m rating the sweetness as a three out of five and the cooling as a two.

White Grape Ice

This flavor is wet and sweet, like Quad Berry. Due to the sweetness, it tastes artificial but not completely in a bad way. I’m rating the sweetness in this flavor as a four out of five. The level of cooling is a two out of five. 

Peach Blue Razz Ice

I don’t think that I’ve had this flavor combination before but I’m glad that I tried it now. The peach flavor comes through first, followed by a nice blue razz flavor. Altogether, this flavor isn’t very sweet and I rate it as somewhere around a 2-3 out of five. The ice is almost unnoticeable and I rate it as a one out of five.

Kiwi Dragon Berry Ice

I’m getting a Jolly Rancher type of flavor and I like it. The kiwi flavor is there but it’s very mixed in with the candy jolly rancher taste, which I’m guessing is the mix of dragon fruit and berries. I give the sweetness a three out of five and the cooling a three.

How do they vape?

The STLTH 8K Pro has a surprisingly dense draw with a really good throat hit. It’s not what I was expecting from a 20mg/ml vape and I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

The nicotine limits in Canada can feel restricting for some vapers who need just a bit more from their vape to feel satisfied. Well, for those vapers, the STLTH 8K Pro could be what they need. It hits more like a 35mg/ml nicotine vape than a 20mg/ml one.

The airflow control provides a nice range of adjustment. It can go from a slightly loose mouth-to-lung vape down to a tight mouth-to-lung draw so there’s a lot of possibility with how you want to set the airflow. I didn’t find that the flavor was affected at all by closing the airflow down but it does get a little loud.

Verdict

This is a vape that I’ve been reaching for and looking forward to using every time. STLTH did a great job with making the draw much more satisfying than you would expect for a 20mg/ml vape, all without making them too strong overall. Anyone looking for a little more oomph from their draw should try these out; I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the draw that they provide.

The flavors are great too, with a nice spread of sweetness and cooling between them. Whether you like your vape sweet or a little more subtle, with noticeable cooling or barely any, there’s a flavor that fits those criteria.

I have a few minor complaints but nothing major. The ejuice indicator icon is so small that it’s barely visible, which makes it frustrating to use. It might as well not be there at all if you have poor eyesight. 8000 puffs is also not very much these days but the STLTH 8K Pro makes up for the lack of puffs with portability, which is something that is quickly fading from disposables as they get larger and larger.

Recommended.
