My Shisha XL Review: What Is It and What Are the Specs?
The My Shisha XL 16500 Puffs DTL Disposable is a pre-filled, rechargeable disposable from the My Shisha range, filed under disposable vapes. It is built for a large, shisha-style draw without refilling or swapping pods. Here are the specs exactly as the manufacturer listing gives them.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Puff capacity | Up to 16,500 (DTL) |
| Nicotine strength | 3mg (0.3%) salt nicotine |
| E-liquid capacity | 29ml pre-filled |
| Battery | 1000mAh rechargeable |
| Charging | USB Type-C |
| Coil | 0.5 ohm mesh coil |
| Activation | Draw-activated, no button |
| Display or indicator | Not published by the manufacturer |
| Flavours | 16 |
| Price | AED 45 single, AED 420 for a box of 10 |
Anything missing from that table is left out on purpose rather than guessed. That matters for a review, because a spec sheet with gaps tells you as much as the numbers it does print. Where the manufacturer is silent, we say so and point you to the box.
In practice this is aimed at adult smokers who prefer a DTL, shisha-like pull and a milder nicotine strength. It is a single-piece unit: nothing to refill, no pods to swap and no coil to change.
Design, Battery and How It Works
The My Shisha XL is a draw-activated device, so there is no button to press. Inhaling on the mouthpiece fires the 0.5 ohm mesh coil, which vaporises e-liquid from the 29ml tank for a large, direct-to-lung draw. It arrives pre-charged and pre-filled, so you can use it straight from the pack.
The listing does not publish dimensions, weight or any LED battery or e-liquid indicator, so there is no on-device way to check what is left. You will judge the end of life by how the vapour weakens, which is worth knowing if you like a screen or indicator on your disposable.
To start, remove the packaging, peel off any protective stickers or mouthpiece cover, and inhale. There are no modes, no airflow settings listed and no buttons, which keeps it easy for a first disposable but leaves little to adjust if you like to tune your draw.
Battery and charging
A 1000mAh built-in battery is rated in the listing to last through the full 29ml of e-liquid under normal use, and it recharges over USB Type-C. That means any standard phone cable can top it up, rather than a proprietary connector. Charge time is not specified by the manufacturer listing.
If the battery runs low before the liquid is finished, simply plug in and carry on. Once vapour stops and the tank is empty, the device has reached the end of its life and should be disposed of responsibly.
Does the My Shisha XL Really Last 16,500 Puffs?
It is rated for up to 16,500 puffs, and that figure is a manufacturer estimate under standard test conditions. Real totals vary with draw length and frequency, so treat 16,500 as a ceiling rather than a promise. A puff rating is a standardised estimate, not a guarantee of how many days one device will last.
On price alone, AED 45 spread over 16,500 rated puffs works out at about 27 fils per 100 puffs, and the AED 420 box of 10 brings a single unit to AED 42. That is arithmetic on the rated figure, not a measured result, but it gives a fair sense of value.
To get more from any large disposable, keep draws moderate rather than maximum length, charge before the battery is completely flat, and store it upright and away from heat. These habits cannot change the rating, but they avoid wasting liquid on long, hard pulls.
DTL vs MTL: what to expect
DTL means direct-to-lung: a long, deep draw straight into the lungs that produces larger clouds than mouth-to-lung devices. Because each DTL puff pulls more liquid, heavier users may see fewer usable puffs than the headline number. Nicotine is addictive, and 3mg is lower than many disposables, so it may feel light to smokers used to higher-strength salt nic.
Which Flavours Does the My Shisha XL Come In?
The listing describes sixteen flavours:
- Double Apple
- Shisha Two Apple
- Love 66
- Magic Love
- Watermelon Ice
- Watermelon Melon Passionfruit Mint
- Blueberry Watermelon
- Aloe Grape
- Berry Bomb
- Mango Melon
- Strawberry Mango
- Strawberry Watermelon
- Cherry Blueberry
- Bubblegum
- Cherry Candy
- Lemon Mint
The lineup covers shisha-style apple blends, watermelon and ice options, berry and tropical fruit, and candy and mint picks. The product page selector may show slightly different names, for example Black Ice, Blueberry Mist, Cuba Cream and Strawberry Smooth, so confirm what is currently available before ordering.
Because each flavour is a separate device, you cannot switch flavour mid-way through a unit. Only flavour names are listed here, since the listing gives no independent tasting data. Shisha fans will likely start with the two apple options, while anyone after something lighter has the mint and watermelon picks.
How Does It Compare With Other E-Shisha Disposables?
Three comparable DTL or e-shisha disposables from our catalogue, with specs taken from their own listings. The first row is this device.
| Product | Puffs | Nicotine | E-liquid | Battery | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| My Shisha XL | 16,500 (DTL) | 3mg (0.3%) | 29ml | 1000mAh | From 45 |
| ELF BAR E-Shisha 16000 | 16,000 (MTL-equivalent; listing also cites about 4,500-5,000 DTL) | 5mg (0.5%) | 22ml | 800mAh | From 50 |
| Airbar E-shisha 15000 | 15,000 | 3mg/ml | Not specified | 900mAh | From 65 |
| NASTY BAR Hooqa DF15Ki | 15,000 (DTL) | 3mg | Not specified | 700mAh (listing highlights) | From 45 |
Honest read: the My Shisha XL lists the largest tank and battery of the group and matches the 3mg strength of the Airbar and Nasty Bar. ELF BAR and Nasty Bar both list a display or indicator, which the My Shisha XL does not, so they win if on-device feedback matters to you.
The ELF BAR listing is also the only one here that separates an MTL-equivalent puff figure from a DTL estimate, a useful reminder that puff ratings are not directly comparable between devices. If you want the biggest tank at a low nicotine strength, the My Shisha XL is a strong pick.
Pros and cons at a glance
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Large 29ml e-liquid capacity | Real-world puff count may fall below 16,500 for heavy DTL users |
| 1000mAh battery with USB Type-C charging | No LED battery or e-liquid indicator published |
| Milder 3mg (0.3%) nicotine strength | 3mg may feel light to smokers used to higher strength |
| 16 flavours with shisha-style options | Sealed disposable that cannot be refilled |
| Box of 10 brings the unit price to AED 42 | Charge time and dimensions are not specified |
In this My Shisha XL review, the short verdict is a solid low-strength, large-tank disposable for DTL fans, and a poor fit if you want a screen or a high nicotine hit.
Not for you if you want a slim pocket device, an on-device display, or a stronger nicotine strength.
