The DOJO PIXEL 25000 is a compact disposable vape that grabs—and keeps—your attention. It’s the world’s first disposable with a dual-pixel screen and gravity sensor, styled in a retro-futuristic aesthetic that feels both familiar and space-age. But the PIXEL 25000 isn’t just about looks.
Powered by VAPORESSO, the DOJO PIXEL 25000 is designed to tap into more than just your taste buds. The DOJO website says the PIXEL 25000 is a “feast for your senses.” With flavor, ergonomics, and two interactive interfaces operated by the gravity sensor, the PIXEL 25000 is designed to keep your eyes, hands, and mouth entertained.
Other features of the PIXEL 25000 are an 800 mAh battery, 16 mL capacity, and a bite-friendly mouthpiece. Additionally, there’s VAPORESSO’s COREX 2.0 coil technology (which is used in all of the company’s latest pod vapes,) status indicators, and two power modes with their own dedicated airflow configurations.
Let’s get into the details and see what the PIXEL 25000 is all about and how they make use of this interesting gravity feature.
The PIXEL 25000 measures 93.2 mm x 50 mm x 27.7 mm and weighs about 90 grams. It’s got a rounded back with a flat front side, which gives them a hand-feel reminiscent of a small flip phone.
Because the PIXEL has a gravity sensor, giving the device a shake will put it into one of its UIs. One UI is an emoji that moves from screen to screen, and in whatever way you tilt the device. The other UI is falling sand through an hourglass (pixels and the two screens) that works similarly to the emoji UI but is much more fun. These two UIs aren’t games per se, but more like a fidgeting activity.
As an aside, the lighting of the screens isn’t overdone. While the status indicators are large and remarkably easy to read, just positioning the screens toward your palm will eliminate almost all the light emitted. In that respect, I give DOJO props for not going overboard by adding lighting on the back or sides of the device. So, while I wouldn’t call the PIXEL a stealth device, it’s surprising how discreet it can be in the dark if you need it to be.
Getting started with the PIXEL 25000 is a breeze. On the bottom of the device is a slider switch that turns on the device and selects the different power modes. As mentioned, each power mode has its own dedicated airflow.
Eco (first setting): With two small airflow holes, the airflow of Eco mode is best suited for a loose MTL draw. Eco mode is more of a soothing, slightly cooler vape, while still being capable of satisfying. This mode saves battery life and provides you with more hits per battery charge.
PWR (second setting): With three small airflow holes, PWR mode is best suited for a looser MTL. It may seem like a minor distinction between the two modes, but this looser MTL draw provides a fuller, warmer, more intense hit.
The two status indicators (for battery life and ejuice remaining) are contained within their own screen. When you take a hit, the bottom screen displays pixels pulsing up and down, like an old-school equalizer, and then the status indicators display. The top screen will show your ejuice remaining, and the bottom screen is for your battery. Both indicators are numerical percentages and labeled with their respective icons.
A note on the screens: Although the screens show indicator icons (a drop for ejuice and a lightning bolt for the battery), they scroll across the screen first, then the percentages. Sometimes, when I look to see my statuses, the icons have already scrolled past, and I’m left with a number on the top screen and a number on the bottom screen. I must remind myself that the bottom (B) is for the battery. (That’s how I remember it.) Also, while I do like the screens and playing with the UIs, I wish I could see my status quicker. The way to check your ejuice or battery status is by taking a hit or moving the power switch. The issue is that you have to wait about seven seconds for the screen animations to scroll past. That’s too long!
The PIXEL 25000 has a quick, free-flowing hit. It’s smooth and (in PWR mode), almost effortless. Just a slight inhale activates the coil. That said, a more forceful draw in PWR mode will give you a better hit.
In ECO, which is a loose MTL (the tighter draw of the two modes), you must take a more forceful hit, or it won’t activate. In PWR mode, you barely have to breathe in, and the COREX 2.0 heating element activates. It’s a minor detail but one that really helps to make the two modes unique, not just a lighter and stronger version of the other.
