The ICEWAVE X8500 is a 600 mAh disposable vape with several icy tastes. The device is built like a little box mod with a large LED screen for the e-liquid and battery status.
The X8500 uses a 1.0 ohm mesh coil and holds 18 mL of 5% nic salt. Obviously, it’s rated for 8500 times, hence the “8500” in the name. The question remains; is this a disposable you’d want to take that many puffs from? Let’s find out.

Size, look, and feel
The ICEWAVE X8500 is a box mod styled disposable. It’s reminiscent of a simplified Orian Bar 7500. Like the Orion Bar and many other disposables, the ICEWAVE X8500 exterior is a transparent plastic, with the battery and internals encased in a graphic-designed wrap. The device feels solid in the hand and measures 100 mm x 40 mm x 23 mm. The whole thing has a glossy feeling, which makes this disposable a lot less prone to drops.
The mouthpiece is a flattened or whistle-style tip. Although this is not my preferred mouthpiece normally (I like the Ming style), the mouthpiece is super comfortable to use, and I wouldn’t change a thing about it.
On the bottom of the X8500, there is a decal of what looks like touch-sensor buttons, but that’s where the LED screen illuminates once you take a hit.
Getting started
Besides removing the ICEWAVE X8500 from the packaging and plugs, there’s nothing to stop you from vaping immediately. I’d just point out that there’s no airflow control or buttons, and the USB-C charge port is on the bottom. As for the LED screen…
The LED screen is easy on the eyes and, frankly, fun to look at. Of course, it’s very useful. No more guessing about juice levels! The size is large enough to read at a comfortable distance, and it stays on just long enough for you to read it (about three seconds). I recently reviewed the UTBAR, and those lights cut off almost as quickly as they come on. I appreciate this detail with the ICEWAVE.
The LED screen shows the battery life indicated by a percentage, and the juice indicator is a meter in the shape of a drop.
How does it hit?
The ICEWAVE X8500 has a 1.0-ohm quick-activating mesh coil, just like a lot of other disposables. But anyone who’s ever used a disposable knows that specs don’t tell the tale.
ICEWAVE X8500 best:
The tastes in the ICEWAVE X8500 run the gamut of fruits, drinks, desserts, to even a tobacco taste. Again, all these tastes have an icy blast, evident in the name “ICEWAVE.”
Sakura grape: Dense taste of sweet purple grapes with that X-factor of Sakura. It’s just a grape vape, but kinda elevated.
Strawberry banana: Highly aromatic, rich, and sweet. The banana and strawberry are both identifiable and taste perfect together. No candy taste here. The fruit tastes are legit.
Cherry Cola: Very accurate cola taste with an icy blast that’s almost like carbonation.
Blackberry ice: Natural tasting and tart. Surprisingly good. Blackberry is notoriously hard to pull off in eliquid, but it’s done nicely in the X8500.
Clear: An unflavored vape with a heavy dose of cooling. Although it’s unflavored, it’s refreshing and enjoyable.
How long do they last?
The ICEWAVE X8500 has a battery capacity of 600 mAh. Considering its quick-activating mesh coil, I thought the juice would get drained quickly, but the juice supply has lasted well into the first charge and is not yet at red (in the LED juice indicator).
Pros
- Nice hand feel
- Comfortable mouthpiece
- Robust taste
- Quality MTL draw
- Easy to read juice indicator
- Large print for battery percentage
- Provides a robust hit
