Introduction

In an industry dominated by overseas manufacturing, Maxis has taken a bold step with its Star 50K — a disposable vape built and filled in the USA. Reviewer Matt from Disorder Vapes describes it as a refreshing throwback to domestic craftsmanship, complete with a theme celebrating America’s regional identity.

The Star 50K series features 10 state-inspired flavors, five of which were tested in this review:

  • Florida Gold (Orange Juice)
  • Savannah Sun (Peach Ice)
  • Shy Town Crush (Grape Mint)
  • Acadia Breeze (Blueberry Watermelon)
  • Texas Freeze (Watermelon Ice)

Each device embodies its state’s flavor character and comes equipped with serious performance hardware beneath the patriotic exterior.

Design & Build

At first glance, the Maxis Star 50K looks like a celebration of Americana — adorned with stars, stripes, and bold color accents. The device feels durable, modern, and cleanly assembled.

Each unit features:

  • Dual mesh coils for smoother vapor and better flavor distribution.
  • 850mAh rechargeable battery with USB-C charging.
  • Bottom switch controlling Normal, Turbo, and Off modes.
  • Adjustable airflow integrated into the same switch.
  • Battery and e-liquid percentage indicators for easy monitoring.

The packaging also proudly states “Built in the USA” and “E-Liquid Made in the USA”, which Matt notes as “a rare thing nowadays.”

Performance & Modes

The dual-mode system is the device’s signature feature.

  • Normal Mode: Delivers a balanced output with moderate vapor and smoother flavor.
  • Turbo Mode: Boosts power, density, and intensity — the flavor “really comes alive.”

Matt notes that even in Turbo mode, performance remains stable without burning or harshness, thanks to the dual-mesh setup.

Flavor Testing

Matt tested five flavors, ranking them from most to least enjoyable:

1. Texas Freeze (Watermelon Ice)

His clear favorite. A juicy, vibrant watermelon ice flavor that’s refreshing and bold.

“Big Tex came through — easily my favorite. Juicy, icy, and perfectly balanced.”

2. Shy Town Crush (Grape Mint)

Sweet, punchy grape with a crisp mint undertone. The strongest cooling sensation of all five.

“Brings back memories — strong grape upfront, icy mint finish. Super refreshing.”

3. Acadia Breeze (Blueberry Watermelon)

A unique blueberry-watermelon combo with a bubblegum twist. Mildly icy with good sweetness balance.

“A bit of a chalky aftertaste, but still nice sweetness. Feels like blueberry watermelon gum.”

4. Florida Gold (Orange Juice)

Surprisingly accurate to real OJ — tangy, tart, and mildly sweet with an icy edge.

“Tastes like Tropicana with ice cubes. Weird to vape at first, but kind of refreshing.”

5. Savannah Sun (Peach Ice)

Decent but standard peach ice flavor. Heavy on the cooling effect, light on sweetness.

“Pretty ordinary. Half peach, half ice — both about a 5 out of 10.”

Overall Experience

Across all flavors, Matt highlights three common strengths:

  1. Strong, clear flavor profiles — even with high cooling intensity.
  2. Turbo Mode performance that truly elevates flavor richness.
  3. Consistent sweetness and vapor density, even after multiple puffs.

He also appreciates the battery and e-liquid indicators, calling them “a small but super useful feature.”

The only drawbacks mentioned:

  • Some flavors have overly intense cooling that might overwhelm sensitive users.
  • A chalky aftertaste on one flavor (Acadia Breeze).

Otherwise, the Star 50K earns praise for its balance of performance, flavor, and identity.

Verdict

The Maxis Star 50K is more than a disposable — it’s a statement piece for American-made vaping. Between its dual mesh coils, Turbo Mode, and vibrant flavor lineup, it stands out in a crowded field of mass-produced devices.

“It’s cool to see something built in the USA again — and it actually performs.”
