This WAKA SoPro DM8000i review covers WAKA’s 8,000-puff rechargeable disposable vape with 14ml of pre-filled e-liquid, an 850mAh USB-C battery, a DUALMESH twin-coil system with a Boost button, a mini LED screen and 14 flavours, priced at AED 50 per piece at Vape Store Web in Dubai with delivery across the UAE. Verdict in one line: the most feature-complete 8,000-puff disposable we stock, worth the AED 5 to 10 premium over rivals if you want a screen and a Boost mode, but the nicotine strength on the listing needs checking before you buy.

What is the WAKA SoPro DM8000i and how is it built?
The WAKA SoPro DM8000i is a compact, pre-filled, draw-activated disposable from WAKA (a brand of RELX), rated for up to 8,000 puffs and fitted with a mini LED screen, a Boost button and a USB-C port. You can buy it as a single piece or a box of ten on the WAKA SoPro DM8000i product page; it sits in our disposable vape category alongside the rest of the WAKA range, including the larger SoPro 10000 and SoPro 20000.
The body is small enough to pocket, with the screen on the face showing e-liquid level, battery level and whether Boost is active. Dimensions, weight and charge time are not specified by the manufacturer listing, and the USB-C cable is not included in the box. The specs below are taken directly from the live listing.

|---|---|
| Puff count | Up to 8,000 puffs |
| E-liquid | 14ml pre-filled, not refillable |
| Nicotine | 3% (about 18mg/ml) per the specification; a 5% (50mg/ml) version also exists, check the pack |
| Battery | 850mAh, rechargeable |
| Charging | USB-C (cable not included) |
| Coil | DUALMESH, two mesh coils |
| Output | Normal 10.8W; Boost 2 x 10.8W |

| Price | AED 50 per piece; AED 450 for a box of 10 |
Does the WAKA 8000 puffs device really last 8,000 puffs?
Not in everyday use, and WAKA does not claim otherwise. The 8,000 figure is a manufacturer maximum measured on short, standardised draws, so long, deep pulls will empty the 14ml tank sooner. Boost mode fires both coils at once and burns through liquid noticeably faster than normal mode, so a vaper who leaves Boost on will land well under the headline number.
What makes the DM8000i easier to judge than most disposables is the screen. Because it shows the e-liquid level, you can see how quickly you are using the tank rather than being surprised by a dry hit. And because the 850mAh battery recharges, you get through all 14ml rather than losing liquid to a dead cell. The listing gives no days-of-use figure, and we will not invent one; how long it lasts depends on your draw style and how often you use Boost.
Battery and charging
The 850mAh cell is larger than the 650mAh batteries in the ELFBAR EP8000 and OXBAR G8000, which makes sense given that Boost mode doubles the output. You charge it through the USB-C port until the battery icon on the screen shows full; the cable is not in the box, so use any standard USB-C lead. WAKA does not publish the charge time or the charging current, so we have not quoted either. You can recharge it, but you cannot refill it: once the 14ml is gone the device is finished.
What nicotine strength is the WAKA SoPro DM8000i, and who is it for?
This is the one point where you must check the pack. The specification on the listing gives 3%, which is about 18mg/ml, and that is the figure the product title’s 20mg reflects. WAKA also makes the same device in 5% (50mg/ml), and our product attribute lists a 50mg option, so the strength printed on the pack you receive is the one that counts. An 18mg unit sits within the UAE 20mg/ml cap under standard UAE.S 5030:2018; a 50mg unit is above it, and for that version you should look for the ECAS/MoIAT conformity mark on the packaging rather than assume approval.
Who does it suit? Adult smokers and existing vapers who want a small device with more control than a plain stick: normal mode for a steady all-day draw, Boost when they want denser vapour. At around 18mg the throat hit is moderate for a salt-nicotine disposable, which makes it a sensible fit for someone who found 50mg devices too harsh but still wants a satisfying draw.
Not for you if…
Skip the DM8000i if you have never used nicotine, if you want a device that lasts weeks without charging (the SoPro 20000 or a 30K device is the better buy), if you dislike carrying a cable, or if you want the cheapest 8,000-puff option, since the ELFBAR EP8000 and FUMMO Magnum 8000 both cost AED 10 less. Nicotine is addictive, and this product is for adult nicotine users only.
How does the WAKA dual mesh perform, and which flavours are available?
DUALMESH means there are two mesh coils inside rather than one. In normal mode the device runs one coil at 10.8W, which gives a cool, restrained draw suited to mouth-to-lung vaping. Press the Boost button and the second coil joins in for 2 x 10.8W, producing warmer, denser vapour and stronger flavour; the screen shows when Boost is on. Airflow is fixed and the device is draw-activated, so the only control you have is the Boost toggle. Mesh coils heat evenly, so flavour should hold steady across the tank rather than fading toward the end.
Does the WAKA SoPro DM8000i leak?
The listing does not report leaking as a known issue, and the tank is sealed and pre-filled with no refill port. As with any disposable, the practical steps that reduce the risk are storing it upright, keeping it out of a hot car or direct sun, not chain-vaping in Boost mode until the coils are saturated, and not leaving it face-down in a pocket. Because the screen shows the e-liquid level, you can also see if the tank is running low rather than pulling hard on an empty device.
All 14 flavours are in stock on the product page, in both the single piece and the box of ten:
- Banana Melon
- Blueberry Splash
- Cherry Watermelon
- Cool Mint
- Dark Cherry
- Fresh Mint
- Grape Apple
- Icy Mineral Water
- Kiwi Dragon Fruit Berry
- Mr Blue
- Strawberry Burst
- Strawberry Dragon Fruit
- Triple Mango
- Watermelon Chill
How does the WAKA SoPro DM8000i compare to other 8,000-puff vapes?
All three rivals below are 8,000-puff disposables in stock at Vape Store Web, with specs taken from each product’s own listing. The DM8000i is the only one with a screen and a Boost mode, and the only one with a published wattage.
| Device | Puffs | E-liquid | Nicotine | Battery | Coil | Screen | Flavours | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAKA SoPro DM8000i | 8,000 | 14ml | 3% (about 18mg); 5% version exists | 850mAh, USB-C | Dual mesh, Boost | Mini LED | 14 | AED 50 |
| ELFBAR EP8000 | 8,000 | 15ml | 20mg | 650mAh, USB-C | 1.2Ω mesh | None | 14 | AED 40 |
| OXBAR G8000 | 8,000 | Not specified | 2% or 5% | 650mAh, USB-C | 1.2Ω mesh | LED puff indicator | 14 | AED 45 |
| FUMMO Magnum 8000 | 8,000 | 10ml | 20mg | 1400mAh, non-rechargeable | 1.0Ω mesh | None | 17 | AED 40 |
Where the rivals win: the ELFBAR EP8000 carries 1ml more liquid, is a clear 20mg with no strength ambiguity, and costs AED 10 less. The FUMMO Magnum 8000 has the most flavours at 17 and never needs a cable, though its 10ml tank is the smallest here. The OXBAR G8000 splits the price difference and offers a 2% option. Where the WAKA wins: the largest rechargeable battery, the only real screen, the only Boost mode, and a published output so you know what you are getting.
Where can you buy the WAKA SoPro DM8000i in the UAE, and is it legal?
You can order the WAKA SoPro DM8000i for AED 50 per piece or AED 450 for a box of ten (AED 45 each) on the Vape Store Web product page, with delivery to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. The price is the same in every flavour, and buyers must be 18 or over.
Vape sales have been legal in the UAE since 2019 for products certified under the ECAS scheme run by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT). Our guide to whether disposable vaping is legal in Dubai explains where you can and cannot vape, and the independent Tobacco Control Laws summary for the UAE tracks the legislation. If your pack is the 5% version, check the conformity mark before you buy. The official WAKA website carries the brand’s own product information.
How to spot a fake WAKA SoPro DM8000i in the UAE
WAKA and RELX products are widely copied, so buy from a licensed retailer only. Check that the pack carries an authenticity code you can verify with the brand, that the nicotine strength is printed clearly, that the screen lights up and shows the e-liquid, battery and Boost readouts described on the listing, and that there is a working USB-C port. A unit with no screen, no Boost button or a price far below AED 45 to 50 is not the product described here.
Weighing everything above, here is the honest trade-off the WAKA SoPro DM8000i asks you to make.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 14ml of e-liquid with an 850mAh rechargeable battery, the largest in its class | AED 10 dearer per piece than the ELFBAR EP8000 and FUMMO Magnum 8000 |
| Mini LED screen shows e-liquid, battery and Boost status | USB-C cable not included |
| Dual mesh with Boost mode: 10.8W normal, 2 x 10.8W boosted | Boost mode drains the 14ml tank much faster |
| 14 flavours in stock at one price | Nicotine strength varies by pack (3% or 5%); the 5% version exceeds the UAE 20mg/ml cap |
| Box of 10 brings the price down to AED 45 each | Charge time, dimensions and weight not published |
WAKA SoPro DM8000i Review: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the WAKA SoPro DM8000i last?
It is rated for up to 8,000 puffs from a 14ml pre-filled tank. Real-world counts are lower because the rating is measured on short standardised draws, and Boost mode uses liquid faster. The screen shows how much e-liquid is left.

Yes. It has an 850mAh battery that charges through a USB-C port until the battery icon shows full. The cable is not included. It cannot be refilled.
What is WAKA DUALMESH technology?
DUALMESH means the device carries two mesh coils. Normal mode runs one coil at 10.8W; pressing the Boost button fires both for 2 x 10.8W, giving denser vapour and stronger flavour. The LED screen shows when Boost is on.
What flavours are available for the WAKA SoPro DM8000i?
Fourteen flavours are in stock, including Banana Melon, Blueberry Splash, Cherry Watermelon, Cool Mint, Dark Cherry, Grape Apple, Icy Mineral Water, Mr Blue, Strawberry Burst, Triple Mango and Watermelon Chill.

AED 50 for one piece or AED 450 for a box of ten at Vape Store Web, which works out at AED 45 each. The price is the same for every flavour.
To wrap up this WAKA SoPro DM8000i review: it is the right 8,000-puff pick for a UAE vaper who wants a screen, a Boost mode and a big rechargeable battery in a small device, and the ELFBAR EP8000 is the better buy if you just want a plain 20mg stick for AED 40.
