The Full Apollo Vape Review (V Tube 5.0, Solare, & More!)

Solare Evolv DNA 75 – Is It Worth the Wait? Find Out First in Our Exclusive Review

The Solare Evolv DNA 75 is an advanced, handcrafted vaping device. Apollo has gained a reputation for exceptional design, and this is clearly seen in the fact that each vape mod has a special resin-stabilized wood exterior – no two models are the same. Find out more about this exciting device by checking out our Solare Evolv Vape Review.

Features of the Solare Evolv DNA 75

The Solare features the famous Evolv DNA 75 chip, which has been declared the ‘pinnacle of vaping technology’ by some experts in the field. The DNA 75 chip is the successor to the DNA 200, and as you can probably guess, the DNA 75 runs to a maximum of 75 watts.

While you can purchase the device for $99.95, you must pay extra if you want an add-on Sub-Ohm tank or a premium 18650 battery. We love the enormous temperature range, which runs from 200 degrees Fahrenheit to a maximum of 600 degrees. (Check out this article on why it’s crucial to understand which temp to vape at).

As well as having Temperature Control, you also have a TCR + Wattage mode with the DNA 75 vape (and for the record, the variable wattage range is 1-75 Watts). The Solare’s maximum firing time is 20 seconds ,so you can enjoy a quick and easy vaping experience as compared with most other options in this price range.

Moreover, the ergonomic design ensures that the Solare is easy to hold, and you can add either an 18650 or a 26650 battery (neither is included with the package). Construction materials include stainless-steel, brass, aluminum, and resin or stablewood. As a result, you have full confidence that if you drop the vaporizer, it won’t break — or even get damaged.

Using the Solare DNA 75 Vape

With the precision of the DNA 75 chip at your fingertips, you won’t be surprised to learn that the Solare allows you to enjoy a personalized vaping experience. With variable power and Temp Control options, you can choose the precise temperature you wish to vape at. Also, the chip reads the atomizer resistance precisely and the built-in protection prevents you from enduring dry hits. Vapor quality is excellent, and there is also a 5-click lock to ensure that you don’t switch the device on accidentally.

Overall Thoughts on the Solare Evolv DNA 75

Apollo promised a unique vaping experience with the Solare Evolv DNA 75, and it has delivered. From the full Temperature Control right down to the specialized and one-of-a-kind design, you can purchase the Solare and ensure you get to vape the way YOU want – rather than being limited to the specifications and capabilities of the device.

Verdict: 9/10

Solare Pros

Unique and one-of-a-kind design.
Complete Temperature Control with a maximum temperature of 600 degrees.
Compatible with atomizers as low as 0.06 ohm.
Adjustment lock and various safety features.
Stealth mode for discreet vaping.

Solar Cons

Possibly too advanced and complicated for a new user.

Apollo V Tube V4.0 – Read This Review Before Buying!

When it was initially released, Apollo’s VTube V4.0 was hailed as being close to perfection. Even today, it is still an advanced sub ohm e-cigarette with outstanding customization opportunities and an enviable power source. Now that it has fallen in price, check out our Apollo VTube review to find out if it’s worth splashing out on, or if it would be better to pay the little extra for the V5.0.

Features of the Apollo V Tube 4.0

The full V Tube 4.0 kit includes the vape mod, Phazer Sub Ohm tank, user’s manual, 18650 battery, carrying case, external charger, and a 30 mL bottle of e-liquid. The stainless-steel design guarantees durability, and it offers discreet vaping thanks to its simple yet elegant appearance. It is a fairly heavy device, though, and is certainly capable of surviving a few minor accidents.

Apollo has clearly decided that simpler is better when it comes to the design of the VTube, and with that in mind, the top part of the two-piece design includes a typical 510 connection with spring-loaded pins that are capable of accommodating practically any atomizer. It also has an LED display and a control panel with three buttons, and the bottom part is a detachable battery which fits flat cap 18650 batteries.

The battery that accompanies the V Tube 4.0 vape holds 2900 aMH of power, but the level of wattage and voltage chosen dictates the overall battery life – after all, it is a variable wattage mod. While a lot of mods don’t work when paired with atomizers that have a resistance below one ohm, the V Tube V4.0 works with atomizers all the way down to 0.2 ohms.

Also, there is a ‘vaping power chart’ included with the device that tells you the right wattage for various coil resistance values. Sadly, though, the chart doesn’t go below 1.2 ohms. There are, however, safety features if you make a mess of things; low voltage and short circuit protection are excellent additions to this mod. This basically means if the V4 detects a short or detects that your battery voltage has gone below the safety limit, it won’t power up.

The kit also contains the Apollo Phazer, which has a 0.5-ohm resistance coil plus a reserve 0.2-ohm resistance coil. Swap the resistance coil in the tank with the 0.2 ohms one to utilize it. Please note that there is no metal sheet with the spare, so you’ll need to reuse the metal on the 0.5-ohm coil.

How to Use the Apollo V Tube V4.0

We have zero complaints about the display on the Apollo V Tube vape screen, which is the ideal size and is even easy to read in direct sunlight. You can see the wattage settings, resistance level, voltage output and even the puff count! Also, with just three buttons it becomes very easy to figure out what you have to do with them. And thanks to the voltage value reading on the screen, calculating the watts-ohm ratio is super simple.

Once you insert the battery and screw the V4 vape together, you will see the LED screen start to light up. If you don’t have an atomizer connected, though, you will find that the voltage and resistance levels are 0. After connecting the atomizer, the device checks the resistance when you press the firing button, and you can see the relevant information on the screen. The + and – buttons then enable you to increase or decrease the wattage in 0.1-watt increments.

And finally, the spring-loaded pin ensures that there is an excellent connection between the tube and tank, so there is no need to worry about leakage. The spring-loaded copper contact for the battery provides additional tension and guarantees that the battery always remains in place.

Apollo V Tube 4.0 – Vapor Quality

The V4 vape has an adjustable airflow which essentially allows you to decide how thick you want the vapor to be. If you want enormous clouds of vapor, the V4 will spoil you! The 0.2-ohm coil in the Phazer produces a beautifully-flavored and warm vaping experience at 50 Watts, and you can produce even more clouds at 60 Watts with the 0.2-ohm coil. Also, while the 70-watt maximum setting caused the vapor and tank to become hot, it does produce an extraordinary amount of vapor – reminiscent of the scene from Cheech and Chong’s “Up in Smoke” where they’re driving down the highway and you can’t even see their faces through the window!

Overall Thoughts on the Apollo V Tube Vaporizer

Apollo has developed an excellent reputation in the world of e-cigarettes, and the V Tube 4.0 vape is no doubt one of the reasons why. When it was first released, the V Tube price was $139.95 and for the full 4.0 kit, it offered unbeatable value. Even though the V Tube 5.0 is now on sale, the V4 is still one of the finest advanced regulated mods on the market. If you love vapor and big, thick-ass clouds, the V4.0 will take you to heaven and back.

Verdict: 9/10

Apollo V Tube 4.0 Pros

The screen is easy to read.
Extremely well-built device.
Stunning design.
Batteries are easy to swap.
Fantastic vapor production.

Apollo V Tube 4.0 Cons

It is 140 mm long which means it isn’t the most portable vape mod on the market.
The width of 23 mm is also a lot for a portable so it makes quite a bulge in your pocket.

Apollo V Tube 5.0 – Is it a Viable Upgrade?

Apollo is back with a sleek and stylish new design for its V Tube 5.0 vape mod. This is an affordable start-up kit available from the official website for just $99.95. Although it is technically a ‘starter’ kit, the brand is confident that it is ideal for both novices and enthusiasts alike. If you’re interested in learning more, continue reading our review on the Apollo V Tube 5.0.

Features of the Apollo V Tube 5.0 Vaporizer

The Apollo V Tube 5.0 has a stainless-steel brushed metal finish that is frankly gorgeous – and extremely durable. The LCD is large and makes it easy to read data (such as the temperature and wattage). Also, once you have the feedback you need, you can decide on the wattage and resistance where the atomizers can fire. We also like the fact that you can see the battery level at a glance.

If you like experimenting, you may fall in love with the temperature control mode of the V 5.0. There are two buttons near the bottom of the device and you can play with them and watch the current output change on the screen – pretty cool if you’re a tech lover. Moreover, having this level of control over the temperature provides you with a standard of customization that all new mods have to match, or risk being viewed as obsolete in the present-day world of customizing your high. You can control the temperature from its minimum level of 212 degrees Fahrenheit to the maximum of 572 degrees, but you have to use Ni200 Nickel Coils if you want to experience that max-temp setting and take off on a ride to the moon and back.

Like the Apollo V4.0, the new V5 vape allows atomizers to fire as low as 0.2 ohms. We loved the fact that when we changed tanks, the device remembered our settings preferences, meaning we did not have to reset every time we filled up.

Battery life was also pretty good, as we were able to vape into the following morning even after a day of heavy usage (this comes down to the powerful 18650 battery). The V5.0 can go up to 50 Watts, but you should get maximum flavor from about 20. It was a bit of a shocker to discover that there was no USB port, but the TrustFire Dual Battery Charger is a fine substitute.

How to Use the V Tube V5.0

Admittedly, we are all experienced vapers so no team member took longer than five minutes to put the device together out of the box. As we already mentioned, there is no need to go above 20 Watts and we recommend staying at that Wattage for the sake of preserving your battery.

We wish the scrolling speed was a little better when it came to adjusting the temperature, but at least the easy to read screen enables you to see where you are at any given moment. With just three buttons, operating the V5.0 is not rocket science and the lock feature ensures you don’t have to worry about accidentally switching it on.

Apollo V Tube 5.0: Vapor Quality

We could not find fault with either the quality of the flavor or the quantity of the vapor on the Apollo V Tube 5.0. Apollo has really set the bar high with this unit, and what’s most impressive about the it is its excellent performance at 20 Watts with 0.2-ohm resistance – this is a lot of power, and it handles it pretty darn well, all things considered.

Overall Thoughts on the Apollo V Tube 5.0 Vape

We have to agree with Apollo that the V5.0 mod is the right choice whether you are a newbie or a grizzled veteran. It is extremely easy to put together, and most users will be able to start vaping within five minutes of opening the box. And of course, the advanced temperature control will keep experienced vapers happy and the flavor and vapor production will be pleasing to everyone, whether you’re a connoisseur or a total rookie.

Verdict: 9.5/10

Apollo V Tube 5 Pros

Excellent battery life.
Outstanding vapor quantity and flavor quality.
Durable with a stunning design.
The carrying case is a nice touch.
Total temperature control.
Customizable resistance.

Apollo VTube 5 Cons

The mod is a bit heavy because of the stainless-steel production.
The battery indicator is inaccurate for the first few days of use.

Reliant 75W TC Pro – Read Our Vape Experts’ Review

In this brief Reliant 75W TC Pro review, we take a look at one of Apollo’s top mods which is an upgrade on the 60W model. You can purchase it on the official website for as little as $69.95, so if it performs like its predecessor, it will prove a bargain. Let’s find out if that’s the case.

Features of the Reliant 75W TC Pro Vaporizer

As the name suggests, the Reliant 75W TC Pro vaporizer enables you to use a maximum Wattage of 75. There are two firing modes which offer you supreme vapor quality and quantity. Practically every vape mod these days has full temperature control, and the Reliant 75W is no different. You can control your temperature within a 200 – 600 degrees Fahrenheit range.

Apollo has tried its best to ensure the Reliant is as convenient and versatile as possible, which is why it is compatible with stainless steel, nickel, and titanium wires. Also, the Temperature Control functions ensure the mod is quickly heated up by the atomizer. The Reliant also has a safety feature whereby it prevents the device from firing if the coil is dry, which is also good because it means no burnt hits or blown-out coils.

The second firing option on the Reliant 75W is the Wattage Mode. If you use this option, you’ll find that the device is compatible with any wire that isn’t Temperature Control compatible (such as kanthal coils). With a range of 5 – 75 Watts, you genuinely have full control over the quantity of vapor and flavor quality, which is a coup for a vaporizer in this price range.

Moreover, the LCD screen is easy to read and contains all the information you need. You can view puff length, number of puffs and the Wattage among other things. The Reliant is compatible with atomizers as low as 0.05 ohm if you use a Nickel coil, which is an absolutely incredible number.

And finally, the USB pass-through charging feature allows you to charge and vape at the same time. Battery life depends on the mAh rating, with the general rule of thumb being that the higher the reading, the longer your battery will last between charges (typically, 100 mAh equates to about an hour of charge). In any case, the Reliant 75W uses 18650 batteries, which are known for their long lifespan.

Using the Reliant 75W & Performance

We found it easy to put together the kit, and ease of use is pretty spot on: you just have to press the power button five times to switch it on, and five more times to switch it off. Also there are several built-in safety features such as overcharge & low voltage protection, reverse battery and temperature protection, so the Reliant 75W is one of the safest mods on the market.

The vapor production on this device is outstanding, and it produces large clouds of vapor and an intense throat hit at 40 Watts. To tell you the truth, there is no need to go beyond this power level because the performance doesn’t increase greatly and you only tend to burn out your battery faster.

Overall Thoughts on the Reliant 75W Vaporizer

The Apollo Reliant 75W is a well-made device that offers excellent vapor quality, and the safety features mean you don’t have to worry about accidents causing damage to you or the device! The Temperature Control mode is also a joy to use, and it is available at a competitive price.

Verdict: 8.5/10

Apollo Endeavor Starter Kit

The Endeavor Kit from Apollo is an ideal starter kit for rookies who are new to the vaporizing game. It offers excellent value for the money, and contains a USB charger, wall charger, two bottles of e-liquid, two EVOD Clearomizers, and two 900 mAh batteries.

Features of the Apollo Endeavor Starter Kit

One of the best things about the Apollo vaporizer is the sheer level of customization options. While it is ostensibly designed for newcomers, experienced vapers can have a lot of fun by choosing between the various e-liquid flavors, nicotine strengths and even the different colors.

Also, there are an incredible 29 flavors to choose from – so you’re certain to find a few that you like. Triple Nickel is one of our favorites as the full nutty flavor awakens the senses, and watermelon flavor is very refreshing because it tastes like fruit rather than some nasty chemical concoction. There is even an “All-Nighter” flavor that contains a shot of caffeine.

The 1.6 mL Clearomizers on the Apollo Endeavor vape are dual-coil, and we found that it allowed 400 puffs before you have to refill. The 900 mAh battery offers 3.3 – 4.2 volts, and a full charge enables you to get up to 1,000 puffs or at least two full tanks. The 510 threaded batteries are compatible with different cartomizer and clearomizer units, so we have to thank Apollo for the versatility of the Endeavor. We also found that the battery took about four hours to charge all the way up from 0%.

Speaking of charging, the luminous batteries have three colors on the LCD screen and they tell you how much battery life is left. There are several safety mechanisms in place to protect against excessive charging, short circuits and low battery operation. Also, if you make the mistake of over-tightening the clearomizer, the center pin bounces back before anything gets damaged.

How to Use the Apollo Endeavor Starter Kit & Performance

You have to press the firing button five times to switch the device on, and the same number of clicks turns it off. The replaceable coil heads ensure that you don’t have to replace the entire clearomizer when the coil head dies (spares sold on the official website have a 1.5-ohm resistance, and we found it pretty easy to fill the tanks). Apollo supplies two x 10 mL bottles of e-liquid.

When filling the tank, simply unscrew the clearomizer’s base, turn it upside down, and fill up the side of the tank. Make sure you avoid the center tube during the filling process. The EVOD tanks perform well for a small device, and the vapor production is more than adequate. The flavor depends on the e-liquid you buy but when you find the right one, you will enjoy the experience. You should get around five refills from each coil before replacement, although this could be a lot more depending on the aggressiveness of your pulls.

There are several nicotine strengths to choose from in the Apollo Endeavor vape kit:

0 mg (no nicotine)
6 mg
12 mg
18 mg
24 mg

Overall Thoughts on the Apollo Endeavor Starter Kit

Apollo cigs have done it again. We feel that the Endeavor is an excellent starting point for newcomers to vaping; the performance of the tanks is excellent, the 900 mAh battery ensures you don’t have to recharge too often, and the device is small, compact and fits in your pocket for total discreetness.

Verdict: 8/10

Apollo Endeavor Pros

Affordable.
Ideal for new vapers.
Decent battery life.
Limited lifetime warranty.

Apollo Endeavor Cons

Vapor quality is good for the size of the device, but experienced vapers will expect more.
The e-liquid capacity of 1.6ml is on the low side.

Final Thoughts About Apollo Vapes

Here are a few reasons why we recommend trying out at least one Apollo vaporizer: the company offers a 30-day money back guarantee (and a limited lifetime warranty on several of their products), they sell starter vape kits for newbies and professionals alike, and their vaporizers are typically affordable for vapers on a budget. Also, the variety of products on sale on the Apollo website is exceedingly impressive – whether you want a starter kit as a vaping neophyte or an e-cigar because you demand more power and vapor, this brand has you covered.

If you enjoy vaping in style, there are kits with different color options and with over 400 e-juice options, you are spoiled for choice in terms of flavor. It is also an excellent brand when trying to wean off nicotine because you can begin with the ultra-strong 24 mg e-liquids, and work your way down to the nicotine-free versions which, coincidentally, are bursting with flavor. We recommend buying from the Apollo official store if you want a new vape device; with affordability, quality and flexibility at your fingertips, Apollo e-cigs is the vendor for you.
