Some vapes arrive with a manual thicker than a phone book, a companion app and enough jargon to unsettle an engineer. The JNR Falcon X went the other way. It is a rechargeable puff you take out of the box, lift to your lips, and use. No menu to explore, no settings to decode on a forum at eleven at night.
It is rated for up to 28,000 puffs, it costs €19.90 whichever flavour you pick, and there are seventeen of them. Seventeen is enough for everyone to find a favourite, and more than enough for some people to spend twenty minutes frozen in front of the screen, finger hovering over the basket. What follows should shorten that moment.
JNR Falcon X: a rechargeable puff built for simplicity
On paper, the Falcon X 28000 ticks every box you would expect from a modern device without ever asking you to understand them. Its 950 mAh battery refills through USB-C, and a small screen shows how much charge is left as a percentage. The coil, a 1.2 ohm dual mesh, is built in for good. The draw is automatic: you inhale, it heats, and nobody has to fumble for a button in the dark.
Refilling happens from the top, through a small cap you lift and then press back into place. Open the box and the device is already pre-filled, joined by two 10 ml bottles matching its flavour. Everything comes at 20 mg nicotine salts.
One detail photos rarely capture: each flavour has its own colour, and the falcon printed on the front changes angle or pose from one model to the next. It is more useful than it sounds. The day three Falcon X devices end up on the same coffee table, you will spot yours without playing flavour roulette.
Who is it for? People who want a dependable device without becoming hardware experts, and who would rather spend their free time on anything other than maintaining an e-cigarette. Its entry-level price and the lack of spare parts to order also make it a very sensible place to start.
28,000 puffs: what the figure actually covers
Nobody counts their puffs. Manufacturers do it for you, with machines that inhale at perfectly regular intervals and have never had a rough day. The 28,000 puffs quoted for the Falcon X are therefore a maximum measured under standardised conditions, not a promise carved in stone.
In real life, the total depends mostly on how long your puffs are and how often you reach for the device. Someone taking long draws every ten minutes will not hit the same count as an evening-only vaper. How regularly you charge the battery and top up the e-liquid plays its part too.
What matters most is understanding how the device is designed. The Falcon X coil is integrated and cannot be replaced: it is a one-piece design, where everything is made to work together without you ever stepping in. You charge it, you refill it, and when the coil finally reaches the end of the road, the device has done what it was built to do. A few simple habits push that day further back.
Everyday use: charging, refilling and drawing
Charging happens on a USB-C port, with no cable in the box, which should worry nobody: statistically, you already own a dozen, eleven of which are sleeping at the bottom of a drawer nobody in the house dares to open anymore. The screen shows the remaining battery percentage, so you see a flat battery coming instead of finding out at the worst possible moment.
To refill, lift the cap, pour the e-liquid in gently without filling right to the brim, then close it. After every refill, give it a few minutes before the first puff: the cotton around the coil needs time to soak. Skip that step and you risk a burnt-tasting puff, the kind of lesson most people only need once before discovering the virtues of patience.
The automatic draw handles the rest. Breathe in normally, without forcing: a long, steady puff brings out the flavour better than a sharp pull. And keep the device away from heat. A car dashboard in the middle of August has never done a battery any favours.
The 17 JNR Falcon X flavours by family
The range splits into four families, which is the easiest way to find your bearings: start with the family that tempts you, then choose within it.
Cherry flavours
With five options, cherry is the largest family. Cerise Cola starts from a ripe black cherry bordering on candied, rounded off by a cola with a hint of spice. Cerise Fraise Mûre is the most indulgent of the five: cherry and strawberry bring the sweetness, blackberry darkens the end of each puff. Cerise Framboise Myrtille takes the blend further, with raspberry acting as a tart bridge between cherry and blueberry. Cerise Glacée keeps the sweet fruit in the foreground and lets the chill settle in at the finish, while Cerise Pastèque opts for simplicity, a fleshy cherry freshened up by thirst-quenching watermelon.
Strawberry and watermelon flavours
Fraise Kiwi owes its balance to the kiwi, whose sharpness pulls the strawberry back just as it is about to tip over into confectionery. Fraise Pastèque Glacée tastes like a summer holiday: strawberry for sweetness, watermelon for juiciness, and a cool finish bringing up the rear. Bubble Gum Pastèque makes no attempt to look serious, with pink bubblegum out in front and juicy watermelon to soften it. And if you are after the lightest flavour in the whole range, look no further than Pastèque Glacée, a barely sweet watermelon stretched out by the cold.
Berry and forest fruit flavours
Framboise Mûre turns its back on candy: raspberry brings just enough bite, blackberry supplies the dark base. Framboise Myrtille is calmer, with a soft, almost floral blueberry taming the raspberry's tartness. Myrtille Grenade stands out for its dryness: pomegranate gives it a slightly tannic edge that makes it one of the least sugary flavours in the catalogue. As for Fruit des Bois Pêche, it wraps wild berries in the softness of peach, a rounded profile you can happily keep from morning to night.
Exotic flavours
Agrume Fruit de la Passion is the liveliest of the range: citrus strikes first, then passion fruit takes over with its fragrant tang. It will win over anyone who eventually tires of red fruit. At the other end of the scale, Fruit du Dragon keeps a low profile, with a floral, almost milky softness and very little acidity; it is the most subtle of the seventeen. Mangue Passion revisits a tropical classic, with a fully ripe mango lifted by passion fruit. Finally, Mangue Pastèque Pêche is the most generous of the lot, a summer fruit basket in which peach gets the last word.
How to choose your Falcon X flavour
Start with one question: sweet or tart? If you like round, indulgent profiles, the cherry family and the peach blends are waiting for you. If you prefer a bit of bite, head towards pomegranate, kiwi or citrus.
Next question: chilled or not? Iced versions appeal to heavy vapers, because the coolness keeps flavour fatigue at bay. The others stay closer to the taste of the actual fruit. There is no right answer, which does not stop some people defending theirs with alarming conviction.
A more down-to-earth piece of advice: you are going to spend a lot of time with this flavour, longer than some people keep their New Year's resolutions. For a first Falcon X, a balanced profile such as strawberry kiwi or cherry watermelon is a safe bet. Save the boldest flavours for the second one, once you know what you like.
One last point that rarely gets mentioned: as a general rule, very sweet e-liquids clog a coil faster than cool or tart profiles. If you vape a lot, it is worth bearing in mind.
Falcon X or Gorilla X: two ranges, two ways of vaping
JNR makes a second rechargeable range, the Gorilla X, and the question comes up regularly: which one should you go for? The answer depends less on taste than on the way you vape.
The Falcon X is the simple answer. Everything is integrated, nothing comes apart, and its entry price of €19.90 makes it ideal for anyone who wants a device that just works. The Gorilla X follows a different logic: its coil sits inside a removable cartridge, replaced with a pod sold at €7.90 while the battery stays put. It costs €23.90 and is aimed more at daily vapers who think long term.
The two ranges even share a few flavours. Strawberry kiwi, for instance, exists in the Falcon X as well as in the Gorilla X Fraise Kiwi: the same craving, two ways of living it. Neither one is better than the other; they simply meet different needs.
JNR Falcon X: frequently asked questions
Is the JNR Falcon X rechargeable?
Yes, on both counts. The battery charges over USB-C, and the e-liquid goes in through the cap on top. That is what allows it to reach a rated total of 28,000 puffs.
How long does a Falcon X 28000 last?
It all depends on how much you vape. The 28,000-puff figure is a manufacturer's maximum: an occasional vaper will get far more time out of it than a heavy user. Its real lifespan depends mainly on the wear of the built-in coil.
Can the Falcon X coil be replaced?
No. The 1.2 ohm dual mesh coil is part of the device and cannot be swapped. It is a design choice that goes hand in hand with ease of use. If a replaceable coil matters to you, that is exactly how the Gorilla X works.
Which cable charges the Falcon X?
Any USB-C cable will do. None comes in the box, but there is a good chance the one you use for your phone will fit perfectly.
What nicotine strength is the Falcon X?
Every flavour contains 20 mg nicotine salts. This is a high strength, meant only for adults who already use nicotine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should keep away from it.
Our JNR Falcon X review
The Falcon X makes no effort to impress hardware enthusiasts, and that is precisely its strength. It does what you expect of it, without friction, with a flavour range wide enough to keep things interesting and a price that stays firmly entry-level. Its limits are known and owned: the cable is not in the box, and the coil cannot be changed.
If you are looking for a device that fades into the background, the Falcon X is an excellent choice. It also has one quality plenty of human relationships lack: it warns you before it lets you down. To compare it with the rest of our selection, browse all our rechargeable puffs.
