Viho Turbos are available in every imaginable configuration. They all promise huge clouds, great flavor, and a long life. It's hard to believe them. I had tested dozens of these devices when I got my hands on the extremely popular Viho Turbo. I wasn't merely going to tell you how much I liked it – I was going to demonstrate why I thought the Viho Turbo was a cut above the rest, and for whom it could be the ideal product.
Specs:
- Puff Count: 5000 puffs.
- E-Liquid Capacity: 12 mL of e-liquid (in virtually every market).
- Nicotine Strength: 50 mg (5 %) salt nicotine.
- Battery: An 850 mAh internal battery is used to power the device.
Viho Turbo Performance & Vapor Production
First of all, the first thing you notice about the Viho Turbo isn't the style, but the way it feels to draw on it. The Viho Turbo has a dual-mode airflow system, which is unusual in disposables.
- Open Airflow Mode: When using the device normally, the airflow is quite open and smooth. It's not a tight, cigarette-like draw. Instead, it's a DTL (direct-to-lung) inhale that feels similar to a premium pod mod. The amount of vapor produced by the device is quite a lot. The clouds are large and thick, and the vapor is pleasantly warm, but not unpleasantly harsh.
- "Tight" Secret Draw: Many users discover the following pro tip: if you cover the small airflow holes on the side of the device with your fingers, the draw instantly becomes MTL (mouth-to-lung), and it feels like drawing on a traditional cigarette. The fact that it allows you to choose your experience, depending on your mood, is a big advantage.
The 50mg nicotine strength gives a strong and quick-hitting kick, but the smoothness of the vapor makes the hit not too harsh overall. From the first puff to the last, the device performs consistently well, and there is no noticeable drop off in vapor production until the battery or juice is almost completely depleted.
The Viho Turbo is simply not just another disposable, it is a performance-based device. If you like large clouds and a smooth, open draw, the performance of the Viho Turbo may be best in class.
Viho Turbo Flavor Profile & Authenticity
I tested a number of flavors, including Strawberry Ice, White Gummy Ice, and Glacier Oasis, to give me a broad perspective.
The flavors are very rich and bold. The Strawberry Ice isn't a faint hint of strawberry; it's a sweet, ripe and authentic-tasting explosion. The "Ice" (menthol) is present, but perfectly balanced to give a cooling finish without freezing your airways. This is indicative of quality e-liquid development.
It's no secret that Viho Turbos are sweet. This is a double edged sword. At first, the flavors are so vivid and delicious. But, for many users, this high sweetness can lead to something called "vaper's tongue", where your taste buds lose their sensitivity to the flavor over time. I found that switching between two different Viho flavors helped to minimize this.
Although the sweet e-liquids, the mesh coil performed exceptionally well. I did not experience a burnt hit before the juice ran out, a common failure point for many sweet disposables. The flavor remained consistent throughout the life of the device, only slightly diminishing towards the end.
If you are a sweet-toothed flavor lover and enjoy bold, sweet, and loud flavors, the Viho Turbo will feel like a dream come true. The flavor quality is excellent. However, if you prefer more subtle, nuanced, or less sweet flavors, the intensity may overwhelm you.
Battery Life & Longevity: Does It Live Up to the 5000-Puff Claim?
The most important question for any disposable consumer: "Will it last?"
Let's face it, no disposable will ever reach its listed puff count. It depends entirely on your draw length and frequency. However, the Viho Turbo is closer than most. As a moderate to heavy vaper, I found that the device lasted me for approximately 4-5 days of normal vaping. That is a lot longer than devices that advertise 3000 puffs.
The balance between the 850 mAh battery and the 12 mL of e-liquid is the key here. In many cases, either the battery or the e-liquid runs out first. In the case of the Viho Turbo, I found that the battery and e-liquid were depleting at a roughly equal rate. The USB-C rechargeability is a critical component, as it ensures that the large battery is not wasted if you are a light user and take a week to complete the device.
I never came across a situation where the battery was fully charged, but the coil burned out because of a lack of e-liquid. The wicking system works efficiently, allowing the coil to stay saturated until the very end.
The 5000-puff claim is a reliable measure of its category-leading lifespan. Your money is literally getting its value in terms of usage time. The inclusion of USB-C charging provides for future-proofing the device, and eliminates the problem of having a dead battery with a half-full tank.
The Final Verdict & Who Should Buy This Device?
After using the Viho Turbo extensively, I am not just saying the Viho Turbo is a good disposable vape, I am saying it sets the bar for what a high-quality disposable vape should be.
Buy the Viho Turbo if:
- You are a cloud chaser and love a smooth, airy draw.
- You have a preference for bold, sweet and vibrant flavors.
- You want a device that will last.
- You want to be able to adjust the airflow (open and closed).
- If none of these apply, you may want to consider alternatives.
Who May Not Want to Buy This Device:
- You prefer tight, cigarette-like draws (if you don't mind closing the airflow holes).
- You do not like sweet vapes or are sensitive to excessive sweetener content.
- You are looking for a discreet, low-vapor device.
The Viho Turbo offers a powerful, flavorful and lasting experience that effectively bridges the gap between disposable and refillable pod systems. Its vapor production and battery life performance are objectively among the best in the industry, while its sweet flavor profile is subjectively loved by many, and may be a dream come true for others. The Viho Turbo is certainly a leading player in the disposable vape space.
