Read our in-depth review of the 30K puff Boost pod kit - a TPD-compliant, rechargeable vape with 24ml e-liquid capacity, interchangeable flavours, and a sleek magnetic pod design. A top disposable vape alternative for UK vapers.
The UK vaping market has been undergoing rapid change. With the disposable vape ban in place and a shift toward sustainable, compliant alternatives, many vapers are now looking for devices that balance convenience with legality. Enter the Solobar Boost 30K, a bold new entry designed to fill the gap left behind by disposable favourites like the Vapeman Solo, Elf Bar 600, and Lost Mary BM600.
On paper, the Solobar Boost 30K promises a staggering 30,000 puffs, interchangeable flavours, and a magnetic prefilled pod system that blends simplicity with performance. But how does it hold up in practice? We've put it through its paces to see whether this pod kit lives up to the hype.
To understand why the Solobar Boost 30K is already making waves, it's worth looking back. The Vapeman Solo Bar was once a staple of the UK disposable vape scene, competing toe-to-toe with brands like Elf Bar and Lost Mary. With bold flavours and strong performance, it gained a loyal following.
However, after issues with UK authorities over paperwork, Vapeman devices were pulled from the shelves. Even after they were reintroduced legally, they never quite regained their dominant market position.
Fast forward to 2025, with the UK disposable ban reshaping the industry, and Vapeman's legacy has been reborn in the form of the Solobar Boost 30K. It takes inspiration from the old Solo Bars but reimagines the format as a prefilled pod system that is rechargeable, refill-compatible, and compliant with UK vaping laws.
The Solobar Boost 30K kit arrives in compact packaging with everything you need to get started (except a USB-C cable, which you'll need to source separately). Inside, you'll find:
Together, the pods and refill containers deliver a 24ml e-liquid capacity, which is how the device claims up to 30,000 puffs. While that number is debatable (we'll get to that later), it certainly makes the Boost 30K one of the longest-lasting prefilled pod kits available today.
The Solobar Boost 30K is distinctive in its look. The battery segment features exposed-circuit aesthetics, which contribute to a slightly industrial, modern look. The pods are colour-coded by flavour so the user can quickly change between the flavours at a glance.
The device is small but is very solid; it has a boxy, stocky feel and fits comfortably in the hand. There is a small rubber loop on the top for a lanyard, though most probably will not have one.
The best feature is the magnetic connection, which allows users to quickly and cinveniently snap both pods onto and onto the battery section. The magnets feel secure and there is no wobble or looseness, which contributes to the overall premium feel.
The Solobar Boost 30K is designed with simplicity in mind. The single button on the front handles everything:
| Feature | Functionality |
|---|---|
| Two clicks | switch between Normal and Boost modes |
| Display screen | shows battery percentage and wattage mode |
| Rainbow light effect | illuminates both the button and the screen when active |
This is where things get a little counterintuitive. Normal mode runs at 20W, while Boost mode actually drops the power to 10W. The logic here is that “Boost” extends the lifespan of your pods by reducing wattage, essentially boosting your puff count rather than your power output.
While the terminologies may confuse users who are new to pods, you can definitely tell the performance difference. At 20W, the vapour is denser, the flavour hits harder, and the throat hit feels stronger. At 10W, the draw is smoother and more mellow, and the pods will last longer before the need to refill.
The device comes equipped with a rechargeable battery at 800mAh which is fairly standard for pod systems of this size. It charges via the USB-C port located at the bottom, with the only frustrating part of the user experience the fact that there is no USB-C cable in the kit.
The battery will comfortably last a full day of use at moderate levels, although a heavy user may require a charge at least once and possibly twice, depending on wattage mode. However, a nice touch is that the screen shows you what percentage of battery you have, rather than vague LED indicators.
Getting started with the Solobar Boost 30K is refreshingly straightforward:
Within minutes, you're good to go. For beginners moving away from disposables, this system feels familiar yet more robust, offering the convenience of prefilled pods without the waste of single-use devices.
The draw on the Solobar Boost 30K feels a little tighter than you'd expect, and is ultimately closer to a traditional disposable vape than a looser MTL pod kit. Some vapers might appreciate this feature particularly those coming from disposables. If there was adjustable airflow, this may have appealed to a broader range of vapers.
Flavor quality on the Boost 30K is on point too. The Yellow Edition Lemon Lime is crisp, zesty and vibrant while the Pineapple Ice is a smooth tropical fruity blast with a cooling finish. Flavor production is consistent with every refill but durability will depend on wattage mode.
Vapor production is modest and discreet which will suit the majority of vapers in the UK market who often favor flavor and nicotine satisfaction rather than huge clouds.
The short answer is: no. As with all advertised puff counts, the 30K claim is based on machine testing using ultra-short puffs. In real-world use, where most people take 1-2 second pulls, the actual puff count is closer to 15,000 puffs.
That said, even at half the advertised figure, the Solobar Boost 30K still offers outstanding longevity compared to traditional disposables, which typically max out at 600 puffs. For vapers seeking value and fewer trips to the shop, this is a strong selling point.
The Solobar Boost 30K is one of the most impressive prefilled pod kits to land in the UK market since the disposable ban. It successfully combines the convenience of disposables with the sustainability and compliance of pod systems, offering both flavour flexibility and exceptional longevity.
While it isn't perfect, the lack of adjustable airflow and the confusing mode names hold it back slightly, the overall package is excellent. For vapers missing the ease of disposables but looking for something legal, cost-effective, and satisfying, the Boost 30K is a top contender.
At VapeSuite UK, we expect demand for this device to be huge, especially among ex-Solo Bar fans eager to relive the magic in a new format. If you're ready to make the switch to a modern prefilled pod system, the Solobar Boost 30K deserves a spot on your shortlist.
