JNR Gorilla X – Blueberry and Raspberry

JNR Gorilla X Blueberry Raspberry: product overview

The box holds the device, a 15 ml pod already fitted and primed with 2 ml of e-liquid, and two 10 ml JNR bottles in the same flavour. You can start straight away, provided a USB-C cable is within reach.

Priming means the cotton has already absorbed liquid at the factory. That spares you the first dry fire, the one that leaves a persistent burnt taste and shortens coil life from the moment you switch on.

The range works through one separation: the coil is in the cartridge, the battery in the body. The two parts do not wear at the same rate, and the product draws every consequence from that.

Two fruits, two roles

Blueberry lays the base. It is dark, soft, slightly velvety, with quiet sugar that never climbs into the high notes. It gives the blend its depth and its overall colour.

Raspberry sits on top, livelier and tangier, with the faintly sharp edge that stops blueberry from turning soft. This is classic raspberry, not blue raspberry: the result stays on the fruit side rather than the confectionery side.

The distinction is worth making, because the range offers both versions and many vapers confuse them when reading the name. If you want the blue candy profile typical of sodas and slushes, this is not that reference. Here you stay with a credible berry blend, moderately sweet, which holds up well over long sessions.

Replacing the pod rather than the device

Most rechargeable puffs build the coil into the body. The result: a worn coil condemns a battery in perfect condition, and the whole thing ends up in the bin. That design answers a sales logic, not a manufacturing constraint.

On the Gorilla X, a replacement pod at 7.90 euros is enough to carry on. The reference is the same for all twenty one flavours, which simplifies ordering and lets you keep a spare cartridge without wondering which one to pick.

What the 43,000 puffs mean

The 43,000 puffs correspond to the total potential of the device across its full life, successive refills and pod replacements included. It is not the capacity of a filled tank, and the precision heads off misplaced expectations.

In practice, the 2 ml already present and the 20 ml delivered in bottles represent several weeks of regular use, far longer if you vape lightly. The pod is then replaced and the counter starts from zero.

Everyday handling

Charging through a USB-C port, cable not supplied. The high resolution screen shows the exact battery percentage, letting you recharge at the right moment rather than discovering the problem at the wrong one.

Filling through the top of the pod: open, pour, close. Allow a minute before drawing so the cotton can soak. Absolute rule: never vape on an empty tank, dry firing burns the cotton with no way back.

Store the device upright at rest, which limits liquid creeping into the airflow channel. Keep the bottles away from light and heat, both of which degrade the aromas well before any other visible sign.

Double mesh heating

The Dual Mesh Coil uses two meshes instead of one: broader heating surface, more even temperature rise, denser vapour. On a berry duo, that evenness is what keeps both fruits identifiable instead of reducing them to a single sweet note.

Nicotine: 20 mg salts

One strength, 20 mg per millilitre in nicotine salts. Salts give a softer throat passage than freebase nicotine at equivalent level, which makes them the standard choice on devices of this format.

High strength, reserved for people already settled into nicotine use. If you neither smoke nor vape, this product does not concern you. Sold to adults only, not advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

The other berries in the range

The Blueberry Blue Raspberry is the confectionery version of the same duo, sweeter and deliberately more artificial. The Mixed Berries widens to four berries with a tangier reading.

The Forest Fruits offers a darker, rounder blend, while the Strawberry Blueberry Raspberry adds strawberry to the duo. To change family, the Cherry Raspberry Blueberry swings towards cherry. Full catalogue in the rechargeable puffs category.

Regularly asked

What separates it from the Blueberry Blue Raspberry?

The fruit. This one uses classic raspberry, tangier and closer to the real thing. The other rests on blue raspberry, a confectionery aroma with no equivalent in nature, noticeably sweeter. Same family, two opposite intentions.

Is this flavour mentholated?

No, no coolness added. The blend stays entirely on fruit. If you want the same register with cold in it, the Iced Forest Fruits is the closest reference in the range.

Do dark fruits clog the pod faster?

Colour is not the factor, sugar content is. Very sweet liquids caramelise on the cotton and shorten coil life. This blend stays moderate on sugar, so it sits around the range average on that point.
