Maskking Apex 8000 review: quick verdict and who it suits
The Apex 8000 is a budget-priced rechargeable disposable. Its listing shows an 18ml pre-filled tank, a 600mAh battery with Type-C charging, a mesh coil and two nicotine strengths, 20mg and 50mg. At AED 30 for a single unit it is the lowest-priced device in the comparison table further down this page. That price is the main reason to consider it, because the headline specifications sit close to those of dearer disposables on our site.
It suits an adult who already uses nicotine, wants a device with nothing to refill, and is happy to go without a screen. It does not suit anyone who has never used nicotine, anyone who wants a display for battery or liquid level, or anyone who wants a long list of modes. The listing describes no screen, no modes and no adjustable airflow. If those gaps matter to you, the Nasty Bar 8500 review covers a disposable with an LED screen, and our disposable vape buying guide explains how to weigh features against price.
In short: a sensible low-cost choice on paper for existing adult nicotine users, with the usual limits of any specification-based review. The puff rating is a maker figure, and nobody can tell you from a listing how long one unit will last for you.
Specifications from the listing
Here is what the product listing states about the device. The brand is Maskking and the product is the Apex Disposable 8000 Puffs Rechargeable Vape. The puff capacity is shown as 8,000+ puffs, the e-liquid volume is 18ml, and the battery is a 600mAh rechargeable cell that charges over Type-C. Nicotine strength is 20mg or 50mg, and the coil is a mesh coil. The longer description adds that the body uses an aluminium alloy frame, that the size is compact, that the device is draw-activated with no button, and that the airflow slot is fixed.
What the listing does not give is just as useful to know. It states no wattage, no coil resistance, no method for the puff rating and no charge-cycle figure. It does not say whether the nicotine is a salt or a freebase formula, and it lists no screen. When a listing leaves a detail out, we leave it out as well rather than guess. If you need a specific detail before you buy, ask the shop through the product page, and treat any answer as more reliable than a figure repeated on a review site.
One more point on reading specifications: a bigger number is not automatically better. An 18ml tank only matters if the battery and coil can use the liquid, and a 600mAh cell only matters if you charge it. Read the numbers as a set, not one at a time.
Nicotine strength: 20mg or 50mg
The listing offers two strengths, 20mg and 50mg. Nicotine is addictive at any strength, and the higher option is a high strength that is not a sensible starting point for anyone who does not already use nicotine. The lower option is the more moderate of the two. If you are unsure, do not begin with 50mg, and do not treat the puff rating as a target to reach.
A practical note: the variation selector on the product page shows flavour and pack size only. It does not show a strength choice, so confirm with the shop how the strength is assigned before you pay, and check the pack when it arrives. Rules on nicotine strength, flavours and device size for disposable products have changed over time in the UAE, and we cannot confirm that every strength is permitted at any given moment. Check current limits with MoIAT, not with a blog post.
If you would rather compare strengths across devices, the Pod Salt Pearl Pro 10000 review and the Smooth 10000 review cover two disposables that list a single 20mg strength.
Airflow, mesh coil and build
The listing describes a mesh coil, which it says spreads heat across a wider surface than a plain wire coil. Mesh coils are common on current disposables, and the idea is a steadier draw. We cannot confirm the effect without a hands-on trial, so read it as the maker intent, not a measured result.
The airflow is a fixed slot, which gives a tighter, more restricted draw. Some adults prefer this because it sits closer to the feel of a cigarette; others find it too tight. Because the slot is fixed, you cannot open it up. A device with adjustable airflow, such as the one in the ZGAR Sorna Boost review, lets you change the draw, though that device is larger and costs more.
The body is described as an aluminium alloy frame and compact enough for a pocket or small bag. Activation is by drawing on the mouthpiece, so there is no button to press. For a closer look at the maker, see the full Maskking range, which also includes the larger Maskking Spirit 25000 review if you want a bigger puff rating.
Battery, charging and the low-battery signal
The listing gives a 600mAh rechargeable battery with Type-C charging. The longer description says a full charge takes about one hour and that an LED flashes blue ten times when the battery runs low. That is the only indicator mentioned; there is no screen, so you will not see the remaining liquid level.
The listing gives no figure for how many charges the 18ml of liquid will need, and we will not invent one. How long a charge lasts depends on how often and how long you draw. The honest reading is that you should expect to recharge more than once before the liquid runs out, and that you should watch for the blue flashes.
A disposable holds a lithium battery and a large amount of liquid. Charge it only with a suitable Type-C cable and charger, never leave it charging unattended or overnight, and keep it out of direct sun and out of a parked car, because Dubai heat is hard on lithium cells. When the device is finished, do not put it in household rubbish; take it to an electronic-waste collection point. Keep it away from children and pets at all times.
Flavours and pack options
The product page lists ten flavours: Blue Razz Lemonade, Fanta, Frosted Berries, Grape Ice, Ice Strawberry Lychee, Kiwi Dragon Fruit Berry, Skittles, Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Raspberry and Watermelon Ice. Several are fruit and ice blends, and two (Fanta and Skittles) are named after soft drinks and sweets. The long description gives a one-line taste note for each, but those notes come from the maker and we have not tasted them, so treat them as descriptions, not verdicts.
Two pack options are listed. A single piece costs AED 30 and a full box of 10 devices costs AED 250. The box works out at AED 25 per device, which is a saving on paper if you know you will use that many. Disposables do not improve with storage, so buy a box only if you genuinely have a use for ten devices, and store them somewhere cool.
A small listing note: the description names a flavour as Strawberry Lychee while the selector shows Ice Strawberry Lychee. Check the exact name at checkout so you receive the one you expect.
How it compares with other disposables
This Maskking Apex 8000 review compares the device with three other disposables on our site, using only the figures each listing states. Puff ratings are maker claims and are not measured by us, so compare them loosely.
| Disposable | Puffs (maker claim) | E-liquid | Nicotine | Battery | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maskking Apex 8000 (this review) | 8,000+ | 18ml | 20mg or 50mg | 600mAh, Type-C | 30 |
| Nasty Bar 8500 | 8,500 | 13ml to 17ml (varies) | 20mg or 50mg | 500mAh to 650mAh, Type-C | 40 |
| Pod Salt Pearl Pro 10000 | Up to 10,000 | 12ml | 20mg (2%) | 650mAh, Type-C | 45 |
| Smooth 10000 | 10,000 normal, 7,000 turbo | 16ml | 20mg (2%) | 600mAh, USB-C | 45 |
Reading the table: the Apex has the lowest price and the largest stated tank, but it also lists the lowest puff rating of the group. The Nasty Bar 8500 adds an LED screen for battery and liquid levels. The Pearl Pro and the Smooth list a single 20mg strength, which may suit you better if you do not want the 50mg option on offer here. Browse all disposable vapes to compare further.
Pros and cons
Here is the balance in one place. Every point below comes from the listing, not from a hands-on trial, and the cons matter as much as the pros.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 18ml tank and 600mAh rechargeable battery stated | No screen for battery or liquid level |
| Two strengths, 20mg and 50mg | 50mg is a high strength; strength choice unclear on the page |
| Mesh coil, fixed airflow slot and draw activation | Airflow cannot be adjusted |
| AED 30 is the lowest price in the table | Puff figure is a maker claim, not measured |
| Ten flavours and a box of 10 at AED 250 | Single AED 30 unit is below the AED 100 minimum order |
The biggest strength is value on paper: a stated 18ml tank and rechargeable battery at AED 30. The biggest limit is how little the listing tells you, with no screen, no charge-cycle figure and a strength choice that is unclear from the product page. If you want to know more before you buy, ask the shop.
UAE rules, age limit and safe use
Electronic nicotine products sold in the UAE fall under a national standard, which you can read as the UAE.S 5030:2018 standard (MoIAT). Products are expected to meet UAE.S 5030:2018 and the ECAS conformity scheme, so look for the relevant marks on the pack, and see the MoIAT website for current information. Rules can change, so confirm current limits there rather than relying on this page.
This product contains nicotine, which is addictive. It is for adults aged 21 and over only, and UAE law may set a higher age limit in some cases, so check your own position before you order. Our age verification page sets out the rule for orders on this site, and we may ask for ID on delivery.
The NHS says vaping is less harmful than smoking but not risk-free, and that it is not for people who do not smoke or for children. Keep devices away from children and pets, and do not use them where vaping is not allowed. This page is general product information, not medical or legal advice, and we make no claim that vaping helps anyone quit smoking.
Price, delivery and final verdict
The listed price is AED 30 for one device and AED 250 for a box of 10. Prices and stock can change, so check the Maskking Apex 8000 listing for the current figure before you order.
Delivery terms are on our delivery and payment page and our Dubai delivery page. Delivery is free above AED 350, and an order of exactly AED 350 pays AED 30; below that, delivery is a flat AED 30. The minimum order is AED 100, so a single AED 30 device falls below it and you would need to add more items. Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman orders arrive in about 2 hours, from 10am to 11pm, 7 days a week, and you can pay by cash, card or bank transfer. Other emirates are served by courier within 24 hours, Monday to Saturday, with cash on delivery or bank transfer.
Our verdict: this Maskking Apex 8000 review ends where it began. On paper it is a low-cost rechargeable disposable with a stated 18ml tank, a 600mAh battery and two strengths, suited to existing adult nicotine users who do not need a screen. If you have never used nicotine, do not start.
FAQ
Is the Maskking Apex 8000 rechargeable?
Yes. The listing states a 600mAh rechargeable battery with Type-C charging, and the description says a full charge takes about one hour. It does not give a figure for the number of charges per device.
Which nicotine strengths does it come in?
The listing shows 20mg and 50mg. The 50mg option is a high strength and not suitable for anyone new to nicotine. Confirm with the shop how the strength is chosen, because the variation selector does not show it.
How much does it cost in Dubai?
One device is AED 30 and a box of 10 is AED 250. The minimum order is AED 100, so a single device on its own falls below it. Delivery is free above AED 350 and AED 30 below that.
Can I order if I am under 21?
No. Orders are for adults aged 21 and over only, and UAE law may set a higher age limit, so check before you order.
