These SW9000 disposables were sent to me for review from Off-Stamp. This is a unique disposable pod device with a feature called dual mode, which means it comes in two parts; a disposable pod and a charging device.
Design
Off-Stamp is a company that cares about design. They also have a unique brand voice that I believe caters to the cool, hip, and trendy crowd. They speak a lot about vibes on their website; upbeat vibes, and vibes of adventure, and expression of uniqueness. I actually really like this because it gives them a personality that most vape companies don’t have. And what’s great is that these company values translate to the design of the product.
The device is very modern and stylish. The colors are all light and calming. There are different colors for the disposable section and different colors for the charging piece. And they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into how these colors work together because none of the colors of the pods are the same as the charging device, but no matter which colors you put together, they all look good.
There are also interesting and unique patterns on each piece. And all patterns line up to create a different design.
The device has rounded edges on the top and bottom and straight edges on the sides.
On both sides of the device are branding, and the back of the device is plain.
At the top is the mouthpiece, which is a flat, wide mouthpiece, and is very comfortable to use.
Dual Mode
So let’s talk more about this dual-mode feature. The full kit comes in two pieces; a disposable pod and a charging device. I actually just recently tested a disposable device similar to this, where the pod splits from the battery. And Innokin had this idea back in 2015 with the Disruptor.
But what Off-Stamp is doing differently, is that you can still vape this pod without the charging device attached. Now that’s really cool because that gives this device a ton of versatility. If you want something super small, you can disconnect the charging piece and simply carry around the pod. And you can use the charging device to recharge the pod, rather than plugging it into a cable. And If you keep the charger connected, you have an extra long battery life.
Battery
The disposable pod has a built-in 200mAh battery, and the charging device has a 1000mAh battery. The pod can only be charged with the charging device, but the charging device is charged with a USB-C cable.
The light on the front of the device has three colors that indicate the charge of your battery
- Green: 70-100% charge
- Blue: 30-69% charge
- Red: Less than 30% charge
Performance
There are no buttons here, so it’s draw-activated and turns on as soon as you take a hit. The device performs great. I get a great hit every time, and it has excellent suction.
Off-Stamp actually mentions that they used an upgraded air sensor designed to prevent misfires or delayed shutoffs. So you don’t have to worry about this turning on in your pocket, and you won’t deal with the device losing suction and turning off before your hit is done.
The draw is smooth, and the flavor is strong. This also uses a mesh coil, so you know the flavor is as good as you can get, and it fires efficiently.
The airflow is a restricted mouth-to-lung draw. I think it’s the perfect amount of restriction for a disposable vape like this.
Flavors
There are eight flavors in the line, and all of them seem to have icy menthol or koolada added to it:
- Blue Razz Ice
- California Cherry
- Cherry Strazz
- Dragon Strawnana
- Juicy Peach
- Miami Mint
- Sour Lush Gummy
- Watermelon Ice
Blue Razz Ice
This is more of a typical blue raspberry flavor. It’s a good tangy and candy-ish blue raspberry with that ice hit on it.
California Cherry
This is such a unique cherry flavor. It tastes a lot like cherry right at the front and then sort of morphs into a smooth sweet dark cherry. Cherry flavors are strange because nobody can seem to get them right, and they end up tasting like medicine. But this doesn’t taste medicinal to me at all. Off-Stamp did something different here and didn’t seem to go with the ingredients every else seems to use. This is one of the best cherry vapes I’ve had. It’s sort of like a cherry candy with a slight resemblance to real cherries.
Cherry Strazz
I believe this is a cherry and strawberry mix. Neither of the flavors overpowers the other, and neither flavor is particularly noticeable. I would have liked a stronger cherry flavor here, but overall, the flavor is sweet and good.
Dragon Strawnana
This isn’t your typical strawberry banana flavor. It’s definitely strawberry banana, but it’s like a more real strawnana milkshake. Like with really smoothed-out flavors. The flavor is strong and sweet, but calm. There’s also a strong menthol hit here. I’m not sure if the Dragon word in the name means this has Dragonfruit, but if it does, I can’t taste it. But Dragonfruit is a very mild flavor anyway, so it would make sense I wouldn’t be able to taste it. But that wouldn’t mean it doesn’t add to the overall flavor.
Juicy Peach
This is also a very different peach than other vape companies use. Peach flavors often taste like peach gummies, which are great, don’t get me wrong. This tastes more like an earthy peach. It’s not super sweet. That earthiness is a little strange. I like it, but I could see people expecting a different peach flavor and not caring for this one.
Miami Mint
This is a nice spearmint flavor that has a small hint of “green-ness” at the end of the hint. Like if you put a real mint leaf in your mouth. That’s a great touch to this and one I haven’t tasted in any mint vape before.
Sour Lush Gummy
So this was one of the hardest flavors for me to review because I can’t sense the flavors too well. It’s a good sweet flavor, I just don’t get anything specific. Lush is usually something like watermelon, and this one is fruity, it’s just too light to tell that it’s watermelon. I get a little bit of gummy bear flavor, and I can see why they called it sour, but it’s not sour enough to where I would have guessed that here. But I understand why they called it that. But I don’t want to make this sound like the overall flavor is mild. The taste is nice and strong, and the flavor is sweet and fruity.
Watermelon Ice
This is a great smooth watermelon flavor. I really like this one. I even get a slight hint of watermelon rind at the end of the hit, which adds to its authenticity. The watermelon is more like a sweet flavor rather than an actual fruit, though. This also has a stronger menthol hit.
I really enjoyed every flavor in the line. The flavors are intricate, strong, and smooth. And except for the blue razz, they’re all very different from what other companies are making.

Final Thoughts
The SW9000 is a great device. The design is awesome, I love the dual mode split device feature, the flavors are excellent, and they perform very well.
There are a few things I think could be improved, for example, I would have liked adjustable airflow, adjustable wattage, and a display screen. I also think such a creative company could have come up with a better name than SW9000. But none of those things are deal breakers for me. Overall, I think it’s a great disposable pod device.
