REIGN BAR Mana 50K Review: See More; Taste More

Product intro and specs

Have you ever had a vape that you wish could’ve been sweeter? What about icier? With the Reign Bar Mana 50K, you can get what you wish for.  It’s a new high-puff disposable with adjustability controls for power, airflow, sweetness, and iciness. Other features include a fully transparent tank, a 1000 mAh quick-charge battery, plus a quad-mesh coil. What vaper wouldn’t have their interest piqued?

Under the hood, the Mana 50K runs on a 1000 mAh rechargeable battery and holds 20 mL of 5% nic salt e-liquid. Utilizing a quad-mesh coil, the Mana 50K pushes up to 31 watts in boost mode (30k puffs), but Eco mode’s wattage is undisclosed (50k puffs).

With the flavor adjustability, you get four levels of sweetness and four levels of ice, each with its own button, similar to the Artery CL6. The Mana 50K features a bright LED display that shows battery life, power mode, and sweet/ice level settings. Notice how I didn’t mention a liquid indicator? With the transparent tank, there’s no need for one—you can see for yourself. That’s a feature I’ve come to love, similar to vapes like NEXA and HQD with transparent tanks. I’m all for REIGN taking the reins, so to speak.  

As good as the REIGN BAR Mana 50K looks on paper, let’s get into what it’s like to use it, and if it’s a recommended buy. 

Price: TBA

Flavors: Mexico mango, juicy peach ice, strawberry kiwi, watermelon ice, grape ice, sour cranapple, Miami mint, Fcuking fab, blue razz ice, icy mint 

Size, look, and feel

The Mana 50K is a compact box-style disposable that feels good in the hand since it's made on the classic C-frame body. It’s got a beefy hand feel, measuring 55 mm x 28 mm x 102 mm. I appreciate its size in my hand. That said, it’s also a device I likely wouldn’t carry in multiples in my pockets due to its slightly larger-than-average size.

The Mana 50K’s exterior has a smooth, slightly glossy finish with rounded edges, and various flavor-specific colorways, with a similarly tinted transparent tank. The branding, like on the REIGN Palette, is minimal with a raised lettering that adds a textural element.

The screen sits on the front panel and lights up when you puff or change a setting. It’s bright and easy to read. It’s got a few pulsing graphics when you take a puff, but it’s not exactly a light show, which I’m fine with. The screen shows the sweet level at the top, under the word “sweet,” indicated by stars. “Ice” is written and displayed at the bottom of the screen with some sort of blue icons. In the middle of the screen, you’ll see the power setting above what appears to be a magic potion bottle. At first, I thought that was a liquid meter, but it’s just a graphic.

You'll notice the Mana 50K uses two buttons. Those are flavor adjustment buttons. The button at the top is for sweetness, and the one below it is for ice. They both have a grippy texture and a clicky response.

Lastly, the mouthpiece is a short, tapered duckbill shape. It’s the same material and color as the tank, which is aesthetically pleasing, but it’s not a bite-friendly mouthpiece, something I’ve come to appreciate and expect.

Getting started

If you've ever used a Geek Bar, you’ll be familiar with getting up and running. Like the Geek Bar, the Mana 50K has an on/off switch (located on the bottom of the device) that also adjusts the airflow and power. When you slide the switch over one spot, you’re in eco mode; slide it over two spots and you’re in power mode.

Eco mode has a loose MTL draw, and power mode has a looser MTL. At 50 mg/mL, this device is not ideal for a restricted lung hit. You could do it, but I wouldn't advise it.

Now for the fun part!

There are technically four levels of sweetness and iciness. One of those levels is “off,” so I guess that’s the lowest setting. That’s typically where I keep my ice (off). On the other hand, the sweetness level I like setting between levels 2 and 3.

To set either sweetness or iciness, just click one of the buttons to enter the adjustment mode. Then click the button again to start adding (or taking away) that particular taste. Check the screen to see where exactly you’re setting it.

How does it hit?

The Mana 50K has a smooth, clean, and flavorful hit. It’s got a really nice draw, and it just seems to work with the mouthpiece, coil, and airflow. Whether you’re in Eco or Power mode, the Mana 50K feels tuned quite well for an overall satisfying experience.

That said, I find myself enjoying Eco mode the most. In power mode, the looseness of the draw, coupled with the increased wattage, makes the hit much more intense. While I like intense, the Mana satisfies me plenty in Eco mode.

REIGN BAR Mana best flavors

The flavor menu is mostly fruits, sweets, and a few classics. I think the same flavors are used in the REIGN Palette, but the two devices vape differently, resulting in a slightly different flavor experience. The Palette lets you mix different flavors, while the Mana lets you fine-tune a single flavor. If I had to pick, I think the Mana produces the better flavor (without even factoring in the adjustments). I’ve tried several of the Mana flavors; these are my favorites:

Mexico mango: Bright and sweet with a sweet mango nectar that’s reminiscent of the Geekbar flavor with the same name. Despite already being sweet, I still set mine to 3.  

Blue razz ice: Very good, but still the typical blue razz ice; tart and tangy with moderate ice cooling, even with the ice levels turned off. I like to sweeten mine at level 2.

Juicy peach ice: Fragrant, bright, and sweet. I actually don’t sweeten this one. The ice level is modest, which I like.

Strawberry kiwi: Classic pairing with the kiwi's tartness taking center stage, unless adjusting sweetness. The sweetness adjustment quiets the kiwi some, letting the strawberry shine through. I keep mine at 3 with the ice at 1.

How long does it last?

At 1000 mAh, the battery life is solid. I can get through a couple of days of modest vaping without needing to charge. What’s cool about the Mana 50K is that, like the Nexa disposable vapes, it has a quick partial charge.

That means you can charge for just a couple of minutes and get numerous hits. To charge the device fully takes over an hour, but in 19 minutes, you’ll be at 41%. Even just charging the Mana 50K for a couple of minutes would give you enough power for multiple vape breaks. There’s also pass-thru charging that is ready in under a minute of being on the charger, allowing you to vape while charging.

Obviously, there’s no way of accounting for 50k puffs, but in general, I think these are some long-lasting disposables in terms of liquid consumption. You can easily get a few days out of these.

Verdict

The Reign Bar Mana 50K is a solid disposable that does many things right. With adjustability across the board—power, airflow, ice, and sweet—the Mana 50K makes it easy for you to get the exact taste you want.

Secondary features like the transparent tank and quick charge aren’t unique to the Mana, but I'm always happy to see them. My only minor complaint is that it's too easy to bump the adjustment buttons while puffing. Frankly, I don’t know if that’s even a point worth mentioning.

Outside of that, it’s all good. Literally. The Mana 50K is a wise purchase (try juicy peach, Mexico mango, and blue razz ice).

Recommended.
