Two weeks changes the conversation. When I first opened the DOJO BLAST10K Fresh, I liked the slimmer shape and the clever separated-liquid setup, but I had not spent enough time with it to give the flavours a fair verdict. I have now tested the device for two full weeks, rotating through Berry Lemonade, Matcha Strawberry and Pina Colada at 20mg/ml during normal daily use.
The short version? The overall experience has been good, the flavour delivery has stayed clean and accurate, and all three profiles have a genuinely refreshing finish. Most importantly, I found no leakage around the pod or refill connection during my test. That matters more to me than a giant number printed on a box.
Two Weeks Later, It Still Feels Sensible 💧
The BLAST10K Fresh uses what DOJO calls INSTA-JUICED technology. The package keeps the 10ml refill container separate from the 2ml empty pod until activation. Push the parts together and the liquid feeds into the pod, so the coil is not sitting saturated throughout storage and shipping.
That is the clearest connection to the larger PUREX 60K. The older device uses a 0+16ml freshness-locking system, while BLAST10K Fresh brings the same basic idea to a UK-oriented 0+10ml format.
DOJO says this structure retains more than 70% better freshness after 365 days than competing products. That remains a manufacturer claim, not something a two-week review can prove. What my testing can support is much more practical: the assembly remained neat, the flavour stayed consistent, and the pod connection did not become messy with daily handling.
The Setup Is Simple, But Give It 15 Seconds 🌬️
The supplied card shows three basic steps:
- Remove the red silicone seal.
- Insert the 10ml refill container into the empty pod until it is fully assembled.
- Remove the protective sticker.
The box tells you to wait 15 seconds before the first puff. Do it. I know 15 seconds sounds trivial, but rushing a fresh coil is an easy way to create a bad first impression. Once assembled and allowed to soak, each sample started cleanly for me.
Compact in the Hand, Clear Where It Counts 👀
BLAST10K Fresh measures 36.5 × 25.1 × 103.3mm and uses a 1000mAh rechargeable battery. The tall, narrow body feels much more natural in my hand than the PUREX 60K. My fingers wrap around it easily, and it slips into a pocket without the oversized, top-heavy feeling that some high-puff devices carry.
The transparent pod is the practical win. You can see where the liquid is sitting without shaking the device or holding it against a lamp. Four small battery lights near the base are also easy to read at a glance. It feels less like an oversized disposable and more like a straightforward compact pod kit.
DOJO lists COREX BLAST heating and SSS leak-resistant technology. After two weeks, I did not find e-liquid escaping around the pod, the refill connection or into my pocket. That does not guarantee every unit will behave identically, but my sample set passed the real-world leak test.
How the Three Flavours Actually Taste 🍓
The pastel boxes look related, but the flavours go in three very different directions. I rotated all three rather than finishing one and moving to the next, which made their differences much easier to notice.
Berry Lemonade: The Easiest All-Day Pick 🍋
Berry Lemonade opens with juicy strawberry and raspberry, then the Meyer lemon comes through with a brighter edge. The berries give it body, while the lemon keeps the sweetness from becoming heavy. On the exhale, the gentle honeyed cooling leaves the mouth feeling fresh without turning the flavour into an ice blast.
This was the one I kept reaching for without thinking. It is familiar, lively and very easy to enjoy across a full day. If you want the most obviously refreshing option of the three, Berry Lemonade is my first recommendation.
Pina Colada: Smooth, Sunny and Creamy 🥥
Pina Colada starts with ripe pineapple rather than a sharp sour candy note. Coconut milk rounds out the middle of the puff, and a soft vanilla sweetness appears toward the finish. The result is creamy without feeling thick, with enough cooling to keep the tropical profile bright.
I liked the balance here. Pineapple can easily dominate a blend, but this one gives the coconut and vanilla enough room to create that familiar Pina Colada character. It is the relaxed option in the set… sweet, smooth and still refreshing.
Matcha Strawberry: The Most Distinctive of the Three 🍵
Matcha Strawberry gives you ripe strawberry first, then a mellow green-tea note develops through the middle. The soft milky finish pulls the two sides together and makes it feel closer to a café-style strawberry matcha than a standard fruit disposable.
This is the least conventional flavour, and probably the one that will divide opinion. The matcha adds a gentle earthy depth that you will not find in Berry Lemonade or Pina Colada. I needed a little more time with it, but that is exactly why it became interesting. It is not trying to be another simple strawberry ice.
Which Flavour Should You Choose? 🤔
- Choose Berry Lemonade if you want the brightest and most refreshing all-day flavour.
- Choose Pina Colada if you prefer smooth tropical sweetness with a creamy finish.
- Choose Matcha Strawberry if you want something more unusual, mellow and café-inspired.
All three tasted good throughout my two-week test. Berry Lemonade is my easiest recommendation, Pina Colada is the smoothest, and Matcha Strawberry has the most personality. There was no unpleasant drop in flavour that made me want to abandon any of them.
DOJO BLAST10K Fresh vs DOJO PUREX 60K ⚖️
| Feature | BLAST10K Fresh | PUREX 60K |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Slim UK replaceable-pod system | High-capacity US disposable |
| Freshness structure | 0+10ml | 0+16ml |
| Claimed puff count | Up to 10,000 | Up to 60,000 |
| Battery | 1000mAh, rechargeable | 1000mAh, rechargeable |
| Nicotine | 20mg/ml in the supplied samples | 50mg/ml on the official US listing |
| Selectable modes | – | ECO and SMART |
| Liquid visibility | Transparent replaceable pod | Clear integrated capsule |
| Main advantage | Compact size, pod compatibility and broad flavour choice | Higher claimed puff count and dual-mode control |
PUREX 60K is still the more dramatic device. Its claimed capacity, display, visible e-liquid and ECO/SMART modes are built to grab attention. BLAST10K Fresh is more restrained, but that is part of its appeal. After carrying it for two weeks, I would choose the Fresh for ordinary daily use because it is easier in the hand, less bulky and simpler to check at a glance.
Compatibility Is a Useful Upgrade 🔄
The new 0+10ml pod is made for the BLAST10K Fresh device. The supplied launch brief also lists existing 2+8ml pods for the original BLAST10K, BLAST10K PRO and BLAST30K PRO, while DOJO’s current product page explicitly lists only the original BLAST10K and BLAST30K PRO. BLAST10K PRO owners should therefore confirm compatibility with DOJO before buying.
Instead of locking the hardware to one refill format, DOJO is building useful compatibility across the BLAST line. For a regular user, that can matter more than chasing another large puff-count number.
What Held Up, and What Still Needs Perspective ✅
The strongest part of the BLAST10K Fresh is not the printed 10,000-puff claim. It is the lack of fuss. The pod is easy to assemble, the liquid is visible, the body is comfortable to carry, and my samples stayed leak-free during two weeks of use. The three flavours also remained enjoyable and refreshing rather than becoming harsh or tiring.
The cautions are simple. Puff count is a manufacturer estimate, and real use varies with draw length and power demand. The 70% freshness-retention figure and DOJO’s charging and usage estimates should also be read as brand claims. My hands-on experience supports the day-to-day flavour and leak-resistance performance of these samples, not every laboratory or lifespan claim on the packaging.
Verdict: A Good Two Weeks With All Three Flavours 🏁
After two weeks, the DOJO BLAST10K Fresh has moved beyond a promising first impression. The overall experience has been consistently good. The flavour is clean, the cooling feels refreshing, and I found no leakage. It does not reinvent the wheel, but it executes the everyday details that matter.
If you only try one, start with Berry Lemonade for the freshest all-day experience. Choose Pina Colada when you want something smoother and more tropical. Pick Matcha Strawberry when you are ready for the most unusual and interesting profile of the three.
Note: This product contains nicotine and is intended only for adults. Product performance and puff counts vary by usage.
