Hello and welcome. Recently I was contacted by my Oxva rep asking if I would consider reviewing a disposable e-cig made by a division of their company named Oxbar. I never used to really want to review disposables but I know they are flooding the market and thought perhaps that I may be able to help sort out some of the good from the bad for those that like to use disposables. I’m not sure how popular they are here on ECF but most of the major manufacturers are now selling disposables through divisions of their main companies. Anyway, Oxva sent me the Oxbar RRD disposable. It’s really more of a hybrid between a pod and a disposable. RRD stands for Refillable, Rechargeable, and Disposable. The few disposables I have tried are moving more in this direction where they are rechargeable. Some are refillable while others use pre-filled pods. The RRD is in fact disposable and will hold 5.5ml of liquid while having an internal battery of 550mah and is rated to last through 20ml of liquid or approximately 10,000 puffs. The RRD is made of aluminum alloy and PCTG for durability.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

The packaging shown on the website says that liquid is included but I believe that the U.S. version like I received will not include e-liquid due to regulations and would guess that is why the one I received is different from what is advertised. I was however sent a 30ml bottle of a different salt nic liquid at 24mg for the review. Also the specifications in the promotional material are slightly different from what I received.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Size: (L) 34mm x (W) 13.5mm x (H) 76.5mm
Battery Capacity: 550mAh
Puffs: approx. 10000
E-Liquid Capacity: 5.5mL
Refillable Lifespan: Up to 20mL
Fill System: Side Refilling
Material: Aluminum Alloy, PCTG
Charging: Type-C 5V/1A
Weight: 33g
FEATURES:
Rechargeable: Fast-Charging USB-C
Refillable: Up to 4x Refills
Capacity: 5mL
Battery: 550mAh
INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The package that I received had one Oxbar RRD in silver and one bottle or MRKT PLCE salt nic but they were not packaged in the same box. The RRD arrived in a simple box with the Oxbar name on the front along with some features listed and a picture of the device. The back of the box clearly states that it is for sale only in the United States. Along with a long warning, it also states again that it is rated for 20ml/ 10,000 puffs of use.
The sides of the box have a QR code, use instructions, Oxbar company information, and once again the 20ml/ 10,000 puff rating. The box is opened from either end and inside is found the RRD unit and user instructions. The RRD is all one piece. The tank/pod section does not separate from the battery portion. The RRD comes in a sealed plastic pouch that is easily torn open.
Once opened, there is a yellow and black sticker on the side of the RRD that tells you again how to use it. The RRD has a side fill port with a rubber plug that seems pretty good quality as far as rubber pod plugs go. Once filled then you need to press the red button on the bottom of the unit to activate it. Of course like any pod type device, you want to let it sit for 5-10 minutes so the coil can get saturated with liquid before taking the first puff. You really don’t want to make the mistake of taking a puff before letting it saturate with a disposable or you’ll be either vaping 20ml of burnt tasting liquid or will throw away the disposable.
The bottom of the RRD has a red button that must be pushed the first time you are going to use it. It does not need to be pressed again. Also on the bottom is a white indicator light in the shape of an X that illuminates when you take a puff or plug into the USB-C charging port to recharge the battery. In the second picture below you can see that there is a hole in the bottom that allows airflow in for the pod. I had a few times where I wasn’t holding it correctly and blocked that hole with my hand basically shutting off the airflow.
The tank portion of the RRD is fixed and not removable. It is slightly tinted but the liquid level is easily visible. The RRD uses a 1.0 ohm mesh coil to deliver a good amount of flavor and vapor for a disposable. I experienced no leaking or spit back while using it.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
As I mentioned earlier, I had not had much interest in disposables in the past but have to admit that I’m kind of starting to enjoy testing them. One thing that goes through my mind is that it’s a lot of waste once you are finished with it and have to dispose of it. The RRD is similar in size to some of the square pod devices on the market that are not disposable.
I am not really a fan of nic salts but really liked the bottle of 24mg salts that was sent with the RRD. It has a really pleasant fruit flavor and most importantly it has no menthol or cooling agent. The RRD was really a pleasant device to sit and chain vape. I had no issues with dry hits. The flavor produced was pretty good and vapor amount was respectable. I could get through 1-2ml of liquid before I detected a decline in the battery power output so would go ahead and recharge it before continuing use. The 5.5ml capacity seemed to last a very long time but the 550mah does not last through a tank for me. I needed two charges on the battery before I was ready to refill the tank with a little bit left in it. At the time of writing this review, I have gone through about 15ml of liquid and the RRD is still working very well. I don’t see any problem with being able to go through the rated 20ml of liquid and possibly more than that. I did notice that the viscosity of the liquid I received for the review is much thinner than the normal 70vg/30pg liquid that I normally vape so don’t know how the RRD would do with a thicker liquid. I had hoped to get two of them for review so I could try freebase nic in one and the included salt in the other but did not so felt obligated to use the included liquid for the test period.
I’d like to thank Oxbar and Jocelyn for sending the Oxbar RRD disposable and MRKT PLCE salt nic for this review. Thanks to the readers. I don’t know how much interest there is in disposable units on ECF but this is a pretty good one in my opinion and if you needed a disposable then I would recommend trying this one. Below is a link to the Oxbar website where you can see the RRD and other disposable units that they offer. At the time of writing this review the website had not been updated to the US version so I have done a little editing. I have also added a second link since I was told that Mipod is now selling the RRD.
