ICEWAVE X8500 Disposable Kit Review
Ooh this one is pretty exciting and unique! Courtesy of ICEWAVE, today we will be looking at their X8500 Disposable Kit!
ICEWAVE are a new brand that’s hit the disposable vape scene, although they are under the ICCPP company which I believe also owns Voopoo and Zovoo. Per their website, www.icewave.com , it appears that the X8500 is their launch product, and it is a beauty!
Quick specs:
The comfortable mouthpiece is flat and tapers towards the top. The device gives off a nice, medium to loose MTL vape that is decently warm. There is no airflow control; air comes into the device through a small hole at the base, which is also where the USB-C port is located.
There are no buttons for operation for simplicity. Simply take a drag and vape, using the device’s quick-fire auto-draw feature. Now, the star of the show for me is the LED screen in front of the device, as this is the first time I’ve seen such a thing on disposable vape kits. The screen lights up to show information when vaping and also when charging. Battery life is displayed in percentage, and e-liquid level is shown within a drop-shaped section of the screen. Within this section, there are different colours as indicators that goes from green, to blue, to red (the latter being low on e-liquid).
I really love the way ICEWAVE have designed this feature and how vaping information is displayed. It’s simple, yet informative and intuitive to understand. Now I don’t have to guess when I need to recharge or when e-liquid will run out!
My only wish would be (and this is me being cheeky) is if the screen had a puff counter as well. Maybe it’s a bit of an overkill since the e-liquid level is already displayed, but I do wonder with high-puff devices as to how close actual use is versus manufacturer information.
The ICEWAVE X8500 comes in 16 flavours, with the following sent to me for this review: Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Banana, Fresh Mint, Vanilla Casta Tobacco, and Blackberry Ice.
Surprisingly, the fruit flavours didn’t really come with a lot of cooling, which is great for the kind of flavour I like in disposable vapes. The fruit notes come sweet and fresh to the tongue, and makes for a pleasant vape. The Vanilla Casta Tobacco is a sweet tobacco with cooling, which actually did remind me a little of the menthol cigarettes I used to smoke.
Recharging the device was very quick, and because of the digital display, I can more or less estimate when my device will finish charging. Saying that, the 600 mAh was more than enough to last me a day with my typical use.
Final Thoughts:
Without a doubt, the ICEWAVE X8500 is an excellent and progressive disposable kit. Flavours are strong and sweet from the mesh coil, and the device is very easy to use. I highly recommend this kit for vapers of disposable devices out there, especially with it having a large coloured screen.
My sincerest thanks again to ICEWAVE for allowing me to review these products!

Quick specs:
- Dimensions at around 100 x 40 x 23 mm. It is quite tall but slim, so is still very ergonomic.
- 600 mAh battery.
- Having an upgraded mesh coil with a resistance of 1.0 ohm.
- 18 mL of e-liquid capacity, for up to 8500 puffs.
- Has a USB-C port at the bottom for charging.
- And, what clearly sets itself apart from most disposable kits in the market, is that is has a big digital screen that displays battery life and remaining e-liquid capacity. How cool is that!
