SXmini PureMax V2 Pod Vape Kit

SXmini PureMax V2 Pod Vape Kit

The SXmini PureMax V2 is a refillable kit built around YiHi's SX304J chipset, a 0.96" TFT colour screen and a 1300mAh battery, and it covers both mouth-to-lung and restricted direct lung vaping from one device.

It ships with a 0.6ohm PX Cartridge Pro 2 pod holding 2ml, tuned for nic salts or 50/50 juice. This is one of the more capable Refillable Pod Kits SXmini has released, and it pairs neatly with the Nic Salt Range at Pirate Vapes. Over 18s only.

Why vapers choose this:

• A proper wattage range in a pod-sized body. Very few refillable pods reach 35W, and fewer still let you fine-tune in 0.5W increments across the whole range, so you can dial a pod in rather than settle for the nearest preset.

• PURE anti-dry-hit tech reads the cotton and holds the fire back when the pod runs dry, which keeps burnt hits off the menu.

• One kit, two vaping styles. MTL for tight cigarette-style draws, restricted direct lung for something warmer and airier.

• 1300mAh with 5V/2A charging. Flat to full in well under an hour.

• A full colour screen showing wattage, battery, resistance and a puff counter, with wallpapers you can swap.

SXmini PureMax V2 Features

SX304J Chip and PURE Protection

YiHi has been making chipsets for other brands for years, and the SX304J inside the V2 is their own. It runs the PURE temperature-control system that detects a dry wick before it scorches, holds power steady from a full battery down to the last few percent, and drives the whole 0.5W-step 5W to 35W output. Feels closer to a mod than a pod.

Adjustable Airflow and Dual Drip Tips

Want a tight mouth-to-lung pull one day and a looser restricted lung hit the next? The adjustable airflow slider on the side handles both, and the kit includes two mouthpieces to match. A narrow bore drip tip for MTL and a wide bore for RDL, both on a standard 510 fitting so your own drip tips work too. Swap the Drip Tips And Mouthpieces to suit the session.

0.96-Inch TFT Colour Screen

The 0.96" TFT display is bright and genuinely useful. Wattage, battery percentage, coil resistance and a puff counter all sit on screen, and you can change the wallpaper from the built-in themes. One quirk worth knowing: the puff counter resets every time you charge, and there is no way to turn that off.

Leak-Control Pod

The PX Cartridge Pro 2 adds a juice flow control system. You twist the mouthpiece to shut the liquid off before filling or before a flight, then open it back up to vape. Reviewers running this device for weeks reported no leaks and barely any condensation, which is not something you can say about most refillable pods.

Side-Fill Pod and Low-Liquid Alert

Filling is done from a port on the side of the pod, sized for nic salts or 50/50 juice through the mesh coil. A low-liquid pre-alert buzzes a short vibration when you are getting close to empty, so you top up before the flavour drops rather than after. Small thing, but it saves pulling the pod to check. Pair it with a 50/50 E-Liquid for the smoothest wick.

How to Set Up the SXmini PureMax V2

First fill takes a couple of minutes. Do not rush the soak.

1. Charge the device fully over USB-C before first use. The screen shows a live battery percentage while it tops up.

2. Twist the mouthpiece to lock the juice flow on the pod before you fill. This shuts liquid off from the coil.

3. Slide open the side fill port and add your nic salt or 50/50 e-liquid, keeping the level below the max mark.

4. Close the port and rotate the flow control back open so liquid can reach the cotton.

5. Seat the pod on the magnetic prongs and leave it standing for five to ten minutes, filled to the top, so the thick mesh cotton swells and creates a seal. Vaping before it saturates will scorch the coil.

6. Press the fire button 4 times to unlock the wattage adjustment. Set the power to suit your pod and start low, building up until the flavour and warmth feel right.

What's in the SXmini PureMax V2 Box

Inside you get:

• The PureMax V2 device with its 1300mAh battery,

• One 0.6ohm PX Cartridge Pro 2 pod,

• A wide-bore drip tip,

• A narrow bore drip tip,

• A USB-C charging cable,

• Plus the user manual

• And warranty card.

No e-liquid is included, and there are no spare pods beyond the one fitted, so it is worth adding juice and a backup pod to your order.

Runs Every PX Cartridge SXmini Has Made

The V2 accepts the full PX family: the original PX, the PX Pro, and the newer PX Pro 2 cartridges. If you owned the first Puremax and have older PX pods lying around, they will fire on this device, though the redesigned Pro 2 pods wick and seal better.

Across the range, you can pick a 0.4ohm pod for restricted lung at 25W to 35W, the included 0.6ohm at 18W to 25W, a 0.8ohm for lighter MTL around 15W to 20W, or a 1.2ohm for a tight, cigarette-style draw at 12W to 15W.

Note the 0.4ohm is restricted lung only and will not run on the first-generation Puremax. Pods from other brands do not fit. Keep spares in stock from the Replacement Pods collection.

About SXmini

SXmini is the consumer hardware name behind YiHi, a manufacturer that supplies chipsets to a long list of other vape brands. The Puremax line is where that engineering shows most clearly.

The original Puremax earned a strong following for its sine-wave power delivery and dry-hit protection, and the V2 pushes both further with the SX304J chip, a colour screen and firmware you can update over the SX-Link dongle. 

It sits at the premium end of pod hardware, closer in feel to the MTL Vape Kits that enthusiasts reach for than to a basic starter pod.

Stock Up and Save

A device like this earns its keep over months, not weeks, so set yourself up properly from the start. Grab a couple of spare PX Pro 2 pods and a bottle of your usual juice alongside the kit, and you are sorted for a good while.

Every order from Pirate Vapes ships same day when placed before 4 pm, packed to keep that screen and finish safe in transit. All stock is TPD compliant with an age-verified checkout, over 18s only. Free Pirate Post on orders over £40.

Conclusion

The SXmini PureMax V2 is a refillable pod kit that behaves like something more advanced: a real 5W to 35W range in half-watt steps, YiHi's PURE dry-hit protection, a genuinely useful colour screen, and pods that hold both MTL and restricted lung styles without leaking.

If you have outgrown simple starter pods but do not want to carry a full mod, this is a strong middle ground, and it takes the whole PX pod family so you are not locked into one draw. Browse more Vape Accessories and pick one up at Pirate Vapes.

FAQs

Which pods fit the PureMax V2?

The full PX cartridge family: PX, PX Pro and PX Pro 2. The kit comes with a 0.6ohm PX Cartridge Pro 2. The 0.4ohm RDL pod is exclusive to the V2 and won't run on the original PureMax.

Does the PureMax V2 do MTL and direct lung?

Both. Adjust the side airflow slider and switch drip tips. Higher-resistance pods suit MTL; the 0.4ohm suits restricted direct lung.

What e-liquid should I use with the PureMax V2?

Nic salts or a 50/50 blend at 10mg or 20mg. It also wicks higher-VG juice fine, but 50/50 gives the cleanest MTL flavour.

How long does the PureMax V2’s battery last?

The 1300mAh cell gets most vapers through a day on the higher-resistance pods. Heavy use on the 0.4ohm at 30W to 35W drains faster. USB-C at 5V/2A refills it quickly.

Is the PureMax V2 pod refillable or replaceable?

Both. You refill it through the side port until the coil tires, then fit a fresh PX Pro 2. Keep the drip tip when you bin an old pod, since replacement pod packs don't include one.

Why does the PureMax V2 puff counter keep resetting?

Charging the device resets it, and there is no setting to stop that. If you don't track puffs, you'll never notice.
