JNR Falcon X - Cherry, Raspberry, Blueberry

JNR Falcon X 28000 Cherry Raspberry Blueberry: the three-fruit blend

Three fruits in one flavour is either a success or a disaster. There is no middle ground. Either each keeps its place and you get something rich, or everything merges into an indistinct sweet mush you abandon within a week. The JNR Falcon X 28000 Cherry Raspberry Blueberry lands firmly on the right side.

It is carried by a technical base that holds up: 950 mAh battery charging over USB-C, 1.2 ohm dual mesh coil, auto-draw, percentage screen, and a claimed lifespan of up to 28,000 puffs. JNR has spent years making hardware for parties, meaning hardware that has to take a beating. It shows.

All for 19.90 €. For a three-part blend supplied with 22 ml of e-liquid, this is a long way from a dishonest entry price.

What you taste, layer by layer

Cherry on the attack

Cherry opens and takes all the space at first. Full, fleshy, frankly sweet, with a lightly candied edge that reads as ripe fruit rather than pharmacy lozenge. It gives the blend its body and acts as the base for the other two.

It is also the most recognisable of the three, the one that tells you immediately what you are vaping on the very first draw.

Raspberry wakes it, blueberry softens it

Raspberry arrives mid-draw with its bright, slightly prickly acidity. It stops the cherry settling in too comfortably and gives the blend relief. Without it, the whole thing would be flat.

Blueberry closes, rounder, softer, faintly floral. It lengthens the finish and smooths what the raspberry made nervous. The result is dense and complete, with real progression from the start of the inhale to the end. That progression is precisely what saves you from fatigue over time.

The 1.2 ohm dual mesh and vapour density

On a three-fruit blend, heating quality is not cosmetic, it is the deciding factor. A coil that heats unevenly creates hot spots, and hot spots crush nuance. You end up with generic sweetness where nothing is distinguishable any more.

The 1.2 ohm dual mesh answers exactly that problem. Two heating grids instead of one, an almost doubled vaporisation surface, a lower peak temperature at any point. Result: dense, warm vapour, and above all three fruits that stay separately identifiable.

Auto-draw completes it. No button, no activation sequence, no settings. You inhale, the coil heats. As simple as that, and on this kind of product simplicity is part of the argument.

28,000 puffs: what that actually represents

The 28,000 puff figure covers the total lifespan of the device, not its range between charges. The 950 mAh battery generally lasts one to two days before you plug it back in.

Take it for what it is: a theoretical ceiling measured with short, regular draws. Your actual habits will move the total, as will how generously you lend your puff at parties, which remains the leading uncontrolled consumption factor.

The comparison needs no dressing up. A disposable is 600 to 900 puffs, then everything goes in the bin, lithium cell included. Here, one device at 19.90 € replaces several dozen units.

Charge, fill, repeat

Charging is over USB-C, and the cable is not included. That is the current standard: everyone owns several already, and adding one to every box would only clutter an already saturated drawer.

The screen shows the remaining battery percentage. Tiny, unspectacular, and yet it is the difference between anticipating a charge and being stranded at the wrong moment.

Filling is done from the top: lift the lid, pour, close. The box holds 2 ml already loaded and two 10 ml bottles of the same flavour. One warning though: the coil is fixed and not replaceable, so never vape an empty tank or you will burn the cotton permanently.

20 mg nicotine salts: the right user profile

Strength is 20 mg/ml in nicotine salts. Salts stand out through fast absorption and a markedly softer throat hit than equivalent freebase nicotine, which makes a high strength perfectly bearable.

This product addresses smokers and ex-smokers. For a non-smoker the strength is unsuitable and there is no reason to start with it.

Mandatory notices: not for sale to under-18s. Contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Neighbours in the Falcon X 28K range

For the same cherry in a chilled version there is the Falcon X Iced Cherry. For a different red blend, the Falcon X Cherry Strawberry Blackberry swaps raspberry and blueberry for strawberry and blackberry. The Falcon X Raspberry Blueberry removes the cherry and keeps the tart pair.

For a complete change of register, the Falcon X Mango Passion takes you tropical. The full range sits on the rechargeable puffs page.
