5 min read
Key Takeaways
- The SMOK Lyco Mini Box 50K reached the channel in late July, rated by its maker at 50,000 puffs from 20 mL of e-liquid.
- Its battery is rated at 1000mAh, the same figure as the Geek Bar Pulse X 2 50K, which carries 18 mL.
- It arrived in ten flavors, with a dual mesh coil, adjustable airflow, a screen and USB-C charging.
- It sits on the 50,000 puffs shelf with the Pulse X 2 as its closest neighbour by rating and battery.
The SMOK Lyco Mini Box 50K landed on the channel in the second half of July, a 50,000-puff disposable that pairs a 1000mAh battery with 20 mL of e-liquid. It suits anyone already shopping the 50,000 puffs shelf who wants more liquid under the same battery rating.
What Arrived
The Lyco Mini Box 50K is a box-shaped disposable under the SMOK name. The maker rates it at 50,000 puffs, and the e-liquid behind that number holds 20 mL. The cell is rated at 1000mAh and recharges over USB-C, which is how a rating that high is reached: the battery cycles many times while the one fill of liquid runs down.
Under the hood it carries a dual mesh coil and adjustable airflow, so the draw can be opened or tightened on the device itself. A screen on the body reports the state of the device. The body is a box rather than a slim bar, which is where the Mini Box name comes from. It arrived in ten flavors, listed on the product page.
The Numbers
| Spec | SMOK Lyco Mini Box 50K | Geek Bar Pulse X 2 50K |
|---|---|---|
| Puff rating (maker's) | 50,000 | 50,000 |
| E-liquid | 20 mL | 18 mL |
| Battery | 1000mAh | 1000mAh |
| Coil | Dual mesh | Dual mesh |
| Airflow | Adjustable | Adjustable |
| Screen | Yes | Yes |
| Charging | USB-C | USB-C |
Set beside the Geek Bar Pulse X 2 50K, a 50,000-puff device we also list, the two match line for line on rating, battery, coil, airflow, screen and charging. The one line that differs is the e-liquid: 20 mL in the Lyco Mini Box against 18 mL in the Pulse X 2.
What It Means for You
If you shop by liquid, the Lyco Mini Box 50K is the larger e-liquid capacity of the two: 20 mL where the Pulse X 2 holds 18 mL, under the same 1000mAh cell. If you shop by puff rating alone, the two read the same, and the choice comes down to the shape in your hand and the flavor list. The box form is the visible difference; the Pulse X 2 is the slimmer device of the two.
Either way the device is a rechargeable disposable, so plan on charging it over USB-C more than once across the 20 mL. The rating assumes the battery is kept topped up as the liquid runs down; the screen is there so you can see where the battery stands before the device stops firing.
How to Read a 50,000-Puff Rating
A puff rating is the maker's figure, and SMOK's 50,000 is read here from the catalog listing, nothing bench-tested. The number describes the liquid: 20 mL drawn in the maker's short, measured puffs. Longer draws use more liquid per puff, and a wide airflow setting uses more than a tight one, so the count you reach depends on how you draw.
Two things on this device move that count. The adjustable airflow lets you close the draw, which stretches the 20 mL; and the dual mesh coil heats a broad surface, which is how the device is built to deliver flavor across this much e-liquid. Neither changes the rating on the box, which is why the number to compare between devices is the mL and the mAh, both of which are fixed.
Where It Sits
The Lyco Mini Box 50K is listed under SMOK and on the 50,000 puffs shelf, part of the disposables range. Its ten flavors are on the product page, each in the same 20 mL body with the same 1000mAh cell, so the flavor is the only thing that changes from one listing to the next.
The Lyco Mini Box carries the SMOK name onto the disposables shelf at a 50,000-puff rating, the same rating Geek Bar put on its Pulse X 2. It arrived in late July, which makes it one of the newer listings on that shelf as of this writing.
Pick It or Pass
Pick the Lyco Mini Box 50K if you want 20 mL at a 50,000-puff rating and a box shape suits you. Pick the Pulse X 2 50K if you want the same rating and battery in a slimmer body and 18 mL is enough. Pass on both if you would rather not recharge a disposable, because a 1000mAh cell at this rating is charged many times.
