FreeMax Starre Pure Beast Sub-Ohm Tank Preview

A little over a year ago, the FreeMax Starre Pure Sub-Ohm Tank crossed our desks and blew our minds, (review here) with its unbelievable combination of flavor, airflow and cloud production. At the time, we made some bold claims – claims that are backed up by the sheer number of us still using the Starre Pure, even with countless other tanks waiting to be used.

Well, FreeMax has just unleashed the stainless steel Starre Pure Beast to the world. Naming conventions aside (I suppose “Beast” is just a desirable vaping term), FreeMax’s latest is an interesting, somewhat confusing new entry to a crowded market.

Most interesting is how the FreeMax Starre Pure Beast is noticeably smaller and narrower than the original Pure, with a conservative 22mm width. Perhaps this is to help the tank deliver on FreeMax’s promises of no dry hits, and what it calls, “full-frontal flavor.”

Also interesting is the Starre Pure Beast’s relatively limited (but TPD-compliant) 2mL e-liquid capacity. Given the massive cloud performance of previous entries, it seems feasible that this tank will spend a considerable amount of time being refilled through its threaded top-fill cap.

In fact, with the company’s claims of outstanding flavor and vapor at high wattages, it’s hard to get too excited about a pair of Kanthal coils – 0.25 and 0.5 ohm-rated, respectively – that max out at 60 watts. And it’s hard to imagine how this comparatively small, more restrained specs will somehow lead to an improvement over the 25mm Pure from a year ago.

So, with all of these seemingly underwhelming specs, why are we so intrigued by the Starre Pure Beast? Because the company’s pedigree speaks volumes. And if they claim the Starre Pure Beast will offer a flavorful, productive, leak-proof vape experience in a 22mm, 2mL, lower-wattage setup, then we’re inclined to believe them.

Perhaps this more compact form factor is a direct response to its competitors continually increasing device sizes and ratings, or maybe it’s a reflection of a simpler time. But none of this speculation will matter until we put the Starre Pure Beast through its paces in the next week or so.
