I'm Beth, a UK-based vape reviewer with experience across pod kits, disposables, and advanced mods. This hands-on review covers the device’s design, setup, charging, pod functionality, flavour profiles, and how it compares with other vape kits available on Haypp UK.
Here are my practical insights backed by testing — on all areas from puff count and flavour consistency to charging speed and build materials of this new Vuse Vape.
The Vuse Ultra offers several technical and design enhancements compared to basic pod systems:
The design includes a metal frame, tactile buttons, and smart pod detection — offering functionality that goes beyond lower-cost kits.
Unboxing & Setup:
Includes the device, pod, removable battery, and USB-C cable. The device powers on with pod and battery insertion, displaying real-time info on the screen.
Battery Life & Charging:
Testing showed up to ~1,000 puffs per charge on Low intensity. Charging reached 80 % in ~18 minutes and full charge in ~38. Qi wireless charging worked reliably with compatible pads.
Controls & App Features:
The MyVuse app allows wattage adjustment and usage tracking. Pairing is done via five quick clicks. Pods default to recommended settings via Flavour Autotune, but users can adjust output manually.
Pod Insertion & Detection:
Pods insert magnetically and remain secure. The system detects liquid levels and pod compatibility, aiding reliability and ease of use.
Build Quality:
The device has a sturdy, matte-finished metal shell and responsive controls. It feels durable and solid in hand — distinct from slimmer, plastic-bodied budget kits.

Rather than competing on price, the Vuse Ultra focuses on offering features not typically found in lower-cost pod systems — including wireless charging, smart pods, and wattage adjustment.
All six launch flavours were tested using Flavour Autotune defaults and manual intensity adjustments. Each pod contains 2 ml nic salt liquid and delivered consistent flavour throughout its use. Here's a flavour-by-flavour breakdown from my favourite to least favourite:
