Fill JOY Pod Cartridges
Let’s start getting acquainted with Fill JOY Pod cartridges with their remarkable packaging. The front of the cartons is designed in the PIXL packaging style to show that these two products are made for each other. On the front there is a logo, a color designation for each flavor, as well as its name in encrypted form, in accordance with the law. There was also a large inscription on the front warning about the dangers of nicotine. On the other sides of the box there is more detailed information about the product: the composition of the liquid inside the cartridges, its strength and volume, production date and expiration date, saturation and cold, as well as packaging, storage conditions and precautions.

Fill JOY Pod Flavors
The Fill JOY Pod line of pre-filled cartridges currently includes ten flavors, the names of which are not so easy to understand. Thus, the first letter in the designation will correspond to one or another flavor line: N – drinks, F – fruits or berries, T – tobacco and D – desserts. In this review we will not try all of them, but only five, but we will be able to get a general picture of all the fragrances.
N.56 (Vanilla latte). The taste of the liquid in the cartridge is quite mild, not at all sharp, and moderately sweet. On the inhale, coffee notes with a fair amount of creaminess and sugar are clearly felt, and on the exhale, the same pleasant coffee aftertaste remains, but with a hint of vanilla. We can safely recommend this invigorating drink to lovers.
F.47 (Berry mix). As is usually the case with berry mixes, figuring out exactly what fruits are there is quite difficult. When vaping, the liquid gives off something quite sweet, without the slightest sourness, but with obvious berry notes. There is a slight, completely unobtrusive chill. Quite a good composition.
F.48 (Blueberry). The next flavor can be considered a mono aroma, since there is nothing else in it except blueberries. At the moment of inhaling, a bright, very rich and sweet berry aroma with a moderate dose of chill hits the taste buds. The taste can hardly be called reliable, because in its essence the liquid is more reminiscent of blueberry candies than a natural berry. Quite interesting, despite the discrepancies with real blueberries.
T.07 (Tobacco). Here is a cartridge that lovers of tobacco flavors will not be able to pass by. The first thing that is felt when inhaling is the sharp and strong taste of dry tobacco leaf, which is replaced on the exhale by a light honey tint, which does not add any sweetness to the liquid – the tobacco remains just as harsh. The puff is accompanied by a decent hit to the throat, so this is definitely not an option for soft tobacco lovers. But connoisseurs of “stronger” drinks will definitely be satisfied.
F.51 (Aloe, grape). In this cartridge, in addition to the usual grape taste of liquids, the aroma of aloe was added, which is not so easy to catch during vaping. But the notes of grapes are recognizable without problems, and these are dark varieties with a characteristic sweetness, a familiar taste, albeit slightly candy, and also with a slight coolness on the inhale. Pleasant and unobtrusive composition.
Impressions and conclusions
Impressions and conclusions
The PIXL electronic smoking system and Fill JOY Pod cartridges are a good product, aimed primarily at undemanding users or people who value their comfort and time. The device is also suitable for fans of disposable dispensers, because, unlike the latter, after using up the liquid in the cartridge, you do not need to throw away the entire device, and the cartridge will cost less than a full-fledged disposable disposable.
The advantages of PIXL include a pleasant-to-touch body, a capacious battery and ease of use.
The disadvantages are a small charge current and the LED at the bottom is too bright. There are no special complaints about the cartridges: sufficient volume, good and rich taste, variety of liquids, balanced strength.
