Freemax Fireluke Mesh Tank Review

When it comes to atomizers, we have to say that Freemax is an underestimated brand. The Starre Pure and OG Fireluke atomizers previously launched by Freemax both offer excellent user experiences and outstanding craftsmanship. For me, both are on par with the popular Uwell Crown III in terms of performance. If there is a downside, it is that the recognition of these two products is not as loud as that of the Crown III.

The Fireluke Mesh is the latest atomizer product from Freemax. I must say, the Mesh is a commendable 24mm sub-ohm tank that features a pre-made mesh coil structure. The atomizer comes in three different styles — stainless steel, carbon fiber, and resin, each with different color options. The stainless steel version of the atomizer and coil features a unique knurled design.

The Mesh has a visually appealing design. While the appearance does not affect the product's performance, this design style is sure to be appreciated by some users. The stainless steel version of the Mesh features a unique knurled design that evokes the Old School style of Gus Lord mechanical mods. In addition to the knurled design on the outside of the atomizer, the coil also adopts a knurled process, and the color of the coil matches that of the atomizer.

The atomizer is equipped with an 810 drip tip. The purple resin version looks stunning; although it lacks a knurled design, the smooth appearance of the resin is already pleasing to the eye. The resin version also comes with a resin 810 drip tip and a stainless steel heating core.

The Mesh uses a shorter 810 drip tip, so you can replace it with other Goon-style 810 drip tips. The bottom of the atomizer features two large airflow holes, with a moderate tightness that is easy to adjust. The airflow adjustment ring of the Mesh does not adopt a 360-degree rotation design; when the airflow holes are fully open, the adjustment ring will be fixed.

By rotating the bottom cap, users can refill the tank through the two large fill ports at the top. The fill ports occupy 95% of the top area and are compatible with any type of dropper. If you prefer, you can even pour e-liquid directly from the bottle into the tank without using a dropper. The atomizer can be disassembled into four parts: the top cap, fill cap, glass tank, and base.

However, to replace the coil, you must first empty the tank of e-liquid, as the coil is directly connected to the top of the atomizer. Although the base diameter of the atomizer is specified as 24mm, in practice, it is closer to 24.5mm. The 24.5mm base diameter does not pose any issues when paired with most new mods, as most newly launched mods are compatible with 25mm base diameter atomizers.

So, how is the user experience with the Mesh? Currently, the Mesh only offers a Kanthal mesh coil with a resistance of 0.15 ohms, and the core is filled with organic cotton. The coil is filled with a lot of cotton, so users must ensure to saturate the coil before use. After filling with e-liquid, the atomizer needs to sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the cotton to fully saturate. Before firing, take a few gentle puffs, then start using it. Although the atomizer is rated for a power output of 50-75W, it can be observed that a power output of 65-75W provides a great experience.

Overall, the vapor production and flavor performance of the atomizer are quite satisfactory. Notably, the 0.15 ohm resistance only requires 70W or lower power to operate effectively. This is likely due to the larger heating area of the mesh coil compared to standard coils, which significantly contributes to vapor production and flavor performance. It also indicates that the Mesh is not suitable for mechanical devices with unregulated output.

The lifespan of the Mesh coil is above average; the tested coil showed no noticeable flavor degradation after two weeks of use. Due to the unique design of the mesh coil, the Mesh coil theoretically has a longer lifespan than most other coils.

With one-fifth of the airflow open, the overall vapor intake is very full, but the flavor is not very strong, although the e-liquid flavor is still present. With one-half of the airflow open, the increased airflow noticeably reduces the fullness in the mouth, but the smoothness of the vapor intake improves significantly. With the airflow fully open, the flavor is quite light, and there is not much e-liquid flavor left. The vapor intake feels decent, not too airy, with a slight resistance, and the vapor performance is quite perfect.

The Fireluke Mesh leaves a very deep impression on users, with excellent design combined with a variety of materials and colors, ensuring there is a style that suits your preference. For a sub-ohm tank, the Mesh's performance is hard to beat by other products, and its lower power requirements also help extend the battery life of the mod. The top-fill operation of the atomizer is also very simple and does not result in leaking. So, what do you think of the Fireluke Mesh atomizer from Freemax? Will pre-made mesh coils become a trend in the future? Feel free to leave your comments.
