The Boutiq Switch V4 is like the Tesla of the vaping world – a cutting-edge, technological marvel that is sleek, powerful and engineered specifically for people who will not settle for anything less than the best when it comes to quality, taste and control.
The Boutiq Switch V4 uses a combination of high-end hardware and top-shelf extracts to provide the ultimate in a superior, customized vaping experience right from the very first hit.
Product Intro and Specs: The High-Tech Heart
At its core, the Boutiq Switch V4 is a disposable vape that uses a dual-tank, draw-activated design. Each of the two separate 1 gram tanks within the device contain a different strain, and from my experience, the overall build quality of the device seems to be remarkably strong for a disposable.
The premium extract in each of the two 1 gram tanks is a blend of THCa Liquid Live Diamonds and Live Resin. The premium extract is often lab tested for potency at over 90% Total THC, and in some cases, such as the Yuzu x Ponzu hybrid, the potency can reach as high as 93.63% THCA. To enhance the natural flavor of each strain, the premium extracts include Cannabis-Derived Terpenes (CDT).
You receive 2 grams of oil, a 350 mAh rechargeable battery, a dual mesh coil for great vapor quality and a digital display that allows you to see at a glance how much battery life remains and how much oil you have in the currently selected tank.
Sleek and Discreet Design: Size, Look & Feel
When you pick up the Boutiq Switch V4, you immediately notice its sleek and discreet design. The premium, matte finish of the device is very comfortable to hold in your hand and does not draw attention to itself.
The compact and lightweight design of the Boutiq Switch V4 make it extremely portable. It can fit into almost any pocket or small bag. The Boutiq Switch V4 feels sturdy and is built with quality materials. The V4 also comes in a “Glow Edition” with a glow-in-the-dark body that makes it easy to find at night.
Please take a moment to ensure that the device you purchased is authentic. An authentic V4 will have a matte, semi-opaque housing with no mouth cap and the screen text will appear to be properly aligned. Most counterfeit versions of the V4 will have shiny plastic and packaging issues, so please purchase from a verified retailer.
How to Use & Basic Operations
When you pull the device out of the package, it is already charged and ready to go. Just breathe in from the mouthpiece to turn the device on and start vaping. The single button controls everything on the device. Next to the single button is the digital display that shows the amount of battery life remaining and the "blinker counter" that tracks the length of your longer draws.
Learning the Modes:
- Switch Strains: Click the button once to alternate between the two different strains.
- Blend Mode (Combo): Press the button twice to enable both tanks to fire at the same time, giving you a new hybrid experience of your two favorite strains.
- Preheat Function: Hold down the button to initiate a preheat cycle, which can help cold hits in colder temperatures and improve vapor flow from the first hit.
Performance: Consistency is Key
What sets the Boutiq Switch V4 apart is its consistency and reliability of delivering high performance.
Due to its dual mesh coil design, each draw produces a rich, flavorful and dense vapor from the first draw to the last. During my time with the device, I did not encounter any instances of clogged coils or burnt tastes, which is a major problem for most users of cheaper disposable vapes.
The USB-C rechargeable battery in the Boutiq Switch V4 represents a huge leap forward from traditional disposable batteries. Based upon my experience, the battery lasts the entire 2 grams of oil in a single charge or two charges, eliminating the need to stop mid-session due to a depleted battery.
The intelligent technology used in the device, including the blinker counter, adds an additional layer of control and predictability to your sessions, making it easier to manage your consumption.
How Are the Flavors & Strains?
Yes. The use of Cannabis-Derived Terpenes (CDT) in the premium extracts greatly enhances the bold, authentic, and strain specific flavors available in the Boutiq Switch V4. These flavors far surpass the artificial tasting terpenes used in many budget vapes.
There are several strain combinations that work exceptionally well. Some examples are:
- Sweet & Fruity: Rocket Pop x Sour Apple provides a sweet and fruity, yet balanced experience reminiscent of a childhood treat.
- Citrus: Pineapple Haze x Lemon Freeze combines a bright, zesty citrus profile with a sweet tropical twist.
- Unique: Yuzu x Ponzu provides a sophisticated, savory-sweet citrus experience unlike anything else available.
The flexibility to switch and/or combine these flavors on demand makes the experience exciting and new for the entire time you have the device.
How Long Will They Last?
The longevity of a Boutiq Switch V4 will depend on how frequently and intensely you use it.
- Average Puff Count: Based on normal usage, you should expect to get approximately 500 to 800 total puffs from the full 2 grams of oil.
- Realistic Duration of Use: For the average consumer, this is usually equivalent to 1 to 2 weeks of regular use. The blinker counter and visible oil level indicators in the display are great tools to help you measure your consumption and estimate how much is left.
Boutiq Switch V4 Blinkers Meaning
The LED light and digital display are your guide to understanding the current state of the device.
- Battery Level: The battery icon displayed on the screen will show you how much battery life you have remaining. When the battery life is low or blinking, it is time to recharge the device via the USB-C charging cable.
- Blinker Counter: I believe the blinker counter is a great idea. The display counts the number of seconds you are drawing and displays them as "blinkers." While I think this is mostly a fun feature, it does give you insight to how long you have been taking a draw, helping you to limit your intake for better dosing.
- Oil Level Indicator: The display also generally includes a graphical representation of how much oil is remaining in the currently selected tank.
Conclusion
The Boutiq Switch V4 has earned its premium price tag. By bridging the gap between the convenience of a disposable and the power and customization of a more complex device, the Boutiq Switch V4 is the perfect solution for consumers who want a no-hassle way to enjoy their favorite strains of cannabis, but still want to experience the benefits of a more advanced device.
Although the initial cost may be slightly higher than that of a standard disposable vape, the high-end extract quality, the option to vape multiple strains, the reliable performance, and the rechargeable battery make the Boutiq Switch V4 an exceptional value for the savvy consumer. If you are tired of poor quality, single strain disposable vapes and want a hassle-free device that won’t sacrifice quality, the Boutiq Switch V4 is an excellent option.
