Size, weight, and feel
The Vaporlax Sirius is a big disposable. They stand at a hair over 100 mm tall with a diameter of close to 24 mm. They're fairly heavy at 60 grams, which is a natural byproduct of a big vape battery. These are not discreet in any real sense, but clearly not as big as a box mod and vape tank. Consider these something like a small pocketable flashlight: convenient and portable, but not particularly concealable.
Each of the Sirius disposables is colored differently, which helps keep your favorites easily distinguishable from the others. Additionally, each flavor is printed on the device itself. Due to how many flavors Vaporlax offers, mere color coding wouldn't have been enough to keep things straight. Including the name of the flavors on the device is a small thing, but very helpful...especially when it's time to reorder.
Getting started
Each Sirius disposable is ready out of the pack to use. Remove all the silicon caps after it's out of the box and take a drag. If you're new to vaping, start with a small puff. The mouthpiece is ergonomic and comfortable to draw on. If you like the way it hits, you’re all set. If you want a looser or tighter draw, you can adjust it to your liking.
How does it hit?
Since the Sirius has an airflow controller (located on the bottom of the device), you can tune the amount of air to your desired puff. Just follow the arrows on the controller.
If you like a tighter draw and a little less vapor, you can turn the dial to that. If you want more airflow (up to a restricted lung hit,) open the airflow all the way up, which will also produce more vapor. It's okay if you struggle to get your hit right if you're just starting out; learning how to vape can take a little bit of time, particularly for getting your ideal hit. It takes some playing around to find your sweet spot.
Are the flavors any good?
There are so many flavors offered, so this is not an easy question to answer in one shot. But for disposable vapes flavors in general, the Vaporlax Sirius is easily one of the best I've tried in a long while. Also, the sheer amount of flavor options makes it easy to come back for more. There's truly something for almost every taste, except for tobacco flavors which are not present.
Banana ice
A banana Now and Later flavor mixed with a natural banana, and a whole lot of icy cool. This flavor is not what I would normally vape, but I really enjoy it with the disposable.
Blue razz
Typical blue razz flavor, but more flavorful than similar flavors from other disposables. It's more tart than sweet, and the aroma is unmistakable.
Captain
I knew what this flavor was without seeing it. It's very much reminiscent of the breakfast cereal in aroma and taste. It’s a bit too heavy on the brown sugar/buttery taste, but it’s still good. Just a bit too rich for me.
Energy
If you like the taste of Red Bull, this is very close to it. I’m not a Red Bull drinker, but I’ve had enough in the past to recognize that taste. I can’t even say I like the taste, but it’s so accurate that I give it a pass.

Verdict
When it comes to disposables, the Sirius line is way above average. The adjustable airflow works really well to change the hit from an MTL to a restricted lung hit, and it vapes well at both ends of the airflow spectrum.
The battery does last a long time, which makes sense considering how big it is. And with 10 mL of juice, it’s going to last a while just off of that fact.
I didn't count puffs (who would?), so I can't attest to the 2200 puff count, but one device can last a few days of fairly consistent usage.
All in all, I recommend Sirius disposables. I use them as backups, but I still get satisfaction. That's the most important part! And although I would’ve liked to have seen a tobacco flavor, I’m more impressed than letdown with the available flavor options.
