So I got my hands on the RAZ DC25K Punch Edition recently, and honestly? It’s been sitting on my desk getting more use than I expected. Same hardware as the rest of the DC25000 lineup, but the Punch Edition comes loaded with fruity, punch-style flavors. I tried three of them: Orange Pineapple Punch, Sour Raspberry, and Triple Berry. Here’s my honest take on the device, both power modes, the airflow, and how each flavor actually holds up.
So, What Is the RAZ DC25K Punch Edition?
At its core, the RAZ DC25K is a pre-filled, rechargeable disposable. No refilling, no coil swaps. You charge it when it runs low, vape it until it’s done, and dispose of it responsibly when it’s finished.
The DC25K lineup has over 20 flavors spread across different editions. If you’ve already used one of the original DC25K devices, this will feel right at home. Same device, just a different flavor direction.
Specs at a Glance
- Dimensions: 95 x 51 x 29 mm
- E-liquid capacity: 16mL pre-filled
- Nicotine strength: 5% nicotine salt
- Puff count: ~25,000 in normal mode, ~15,000 in boost mode
- Wattage: 12W (normal mode), 24W (boost mode)
- Coil: Mesh coil
- Battery: 800mAh, USB-C rechargeable (cable not included)
- Activation: Auto draw
- Airflow: Two-position switch, MTL or restricted DTL
- Display: Shows mode, battery level, juice level, and wattage
- Extras: Dark mode, power-off function, pass-through charging
One thing to keep in mind: that 25,000 puff number is best-case. If you spend a lot of time in boost mode, you’ll burn through juice a lot faster.
Design and Build
The DC25K has a hard plastic body with a clear outer shell, and the back has a leather-style panel. RAZ calls it genuine leather, though I’ll be honest — it’s hard to tell just from handling it. Either way, it looks sharp and feels more premium than most disposables in this price range.
The mouthpiece is a whistle-tip style in clear hard plastic. There’s no soft silicone coating, which some people love and some people don’t. Worth knowing before you buy if you’re picky about that kind of thing.
When you first pull it out of the box, there’s a sticker on the front that walks you through the controls. You also get a bonus sticker in the package, which is a fun little touch.
Getting Around the Controls
Everything goes through the one button at the bottom of the device. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Press once — wakes the screen so you can check your stats
- Click once — toggles between normal mode and boost mode
- Press and hold — turns dark mode on or off
- Click five times — powers the device off (one click turns it back on)
- Inhale to vape — no fire button needed
The screen shows a little animation while you’re vaping, and if you want to keep it low-key in a meeting or out in public, dark mode dims everything down nicely.
Normal Mode vs. Boost Mode — Which Should You Use?
This is really the big choice with the DC25K, and I’ll just come out and say it: start with normal mode.
Normal Mode (12W)
Normal mode gives you a smooth, clean hit. It’s what gets you closer to that 25,000 puff number, and honestly, it’s where I spent most of my time with this device. The throat hit stays mild, the flavor comes through clearly, and it’s just easy to vape all day without thinking about it.
Boost Mode (24W)
Boost mode is real. Double the wattage makes a genuinely noticeable difference — harder hit, denser vapor, and if you’ve got the airflow wide open, it can get intense quickly. At 5% nicotine, that’s a serious amount of kick in one pull. I’d say it’s best as a situational mode rather than something you run all day.
Try normal first. Once you’re comfortable, boost is right there when you want it.
Airflow — MTL or DL?
The two-position switch at the bottom gives you two options:
- Position one: Two smaller air holes for a tight mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw
- Position two: A third hole opens up for a more open, restricted direct-lung (DL) draw
MTL feels more like a cigarette, DL gives you bigger clouds. Former smokers tend to stick with position one. If you like more vapor, try two. It really just comes down to personal preference.
Battery and Charging
The 800mAh battery charges over USB-C on the bottom. One thing that tripped me up: no cable in the box, so you’ll need to grab your own.
That said, pass-through vaping works here, meaning you can keep using the device while it’s plugged in. It’s a small thing, but if you reach for this thing throughout the day, you’ll appreciate it.
The Flavors — What I Actually Tasted
Orange Pineapple Punch
Sweet, fruity, and very approachable. Orange is the first thing you notice on the inhale, then pineapple kind of sneaks in on the exhale. No cooling at all, so if you’re looking for pure fruit flavor with zero ice, this is the one to reach for. It’s the kind of flavor that’s easy to recommend to just about anyone who likes candy-style fruit vapes.
Sour Raspberry
This was my personal favorite of the three. In normal mode, it tastes like a sweet and sour blue raspberry candy — smooth on the way in, with a cool sensation that settles more in the throat than on the tongue. Boost mode would probably push that cooling up a notch. If you’re only trying one flavor from the Punch Edition, I’d start here.
Triple Berry
I tested this one in boost mode, and the first thing that hit me was grape — purple grape candy, specifically. Blueberry comes in behind it, with a softer strawberry or raspberry note rounding things out. It’s sweet all the way through. The cooling is interesting: you feel it in your throat but don’t really taste it, which gives it a smooth finish despite the intensity. A solid pick for anyone who loves candy-forward berry vapes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Bold, candy-sweet flavors across the Punch lineup
- Generous 16mL tank
- Two power modes with a real, noticeable difference
- Two-position adjustable airflow
- Screen with dark mode
- Pass-through vaping supported
- Leather-style back panel gives it a premium look
Cons
- Boost mode can feel overwhelming at 5% nic
- No USB-C cable in the box
- Hard plastic mouthpiece with no soft coating
- Puff count in boost mode is noticeably lower than advertised
Final Thought
The RAZ DC25K Punch Edition is a device I’d genuinely recommend to people who know what they like. The tank is big, the two power modes both deliver, and the airflow options make it flexible enough for different preferences. The flavor set leans sweet and fruity — if that’s your thing, you’ll be happy, and you can buy it on its official store.
If I had to tell you where to start, I’d say grab the Sour Raspberry. It’s the most well-rounded of the three and a great way to see what this device can do in normal mode. Orange Pineapple Punch is the call if you want something straightforward and ice-free. Whichever you go with, give normal mode a fair shot before flipping to boost.
