WALA PoP 10000 vs WALA Yo 18000: Which One's Actually Worth Your Money?

Someone asked me on WhatsApp last week which WALA they should grab, and I realised I've never actually put my answer in writing. The WALA PoP 10000 and the WALA Yo 18000 sit side by side in our range, they're within a few dollars of each other, and — weirdly — they share the same 18ml tank size. That sounds bizarre until you look at how differently they're built. I've run both as my daily device over the past couple of months, so here's the honest breakdown, including the bits each one doesn't do well.

Short version: the PoP is the set-and-forget option. The Yo is the one that squeezes every last drop out of its liquid. If you want a long lasting disposable vape that never needs a cable, that's the PoP. If you hate the idea of tossing a device that's still got liquid in it, that's the Yo. Now the details.

The battery situation is the real difference

Here's the thing that surprised me most. The PoP runs the bigger battery — 2400mAh — but it's non-rechargeable. The Yo carries a smaller 2000mAh cell, except it's USB-C rechargeable and there's a curved display on the front so you always know where you stand. On paper the PoP wins. In practice it's more nuanced.

The PoP's battery comfortably outlasts its liquid in normal weather. But I had one unit bake in a parked ute for an afternoon back in February, and the battery drained noticeably faster against the tank — I finished it with a couple of days' worth of liquid still sitting in there. Not a dealbreaker at the price, but worth knowing before you commit. The Yo never has that problem. Flat battery, ten minutes on a cable, back in business. It will use every drop of its 18ml before it calls it quits, and for a lot of people that alone settles the WALA PoP vs WALA Yo question.

Flavour: dual mesh vs standard mesh

The Yo runs a 1.1 Ohm dual mesh coil and honestly, it shows. Flavour stays steadier deeper into the device — my Blueberry Ice unit was still properly punchy heading into week three. The PoP's single mesh coil is still smooth and consistent, but the fade starts a little earlier. Subtle difference. Not night and day.

Range matters too. The Yo comes in 19 flavours; the PoP has 9. The PoP's shortlist is well picked — Mentos Mint and Strawberry Raspberry are the standouts, and Cherry Pomegranate is better than it has any right to be — but if you're the type who gets bored and likes to rotate, the Yo gives you twice the playground. Both share the classics like Grape Ice, Blueberry Ice and Lemon Lime, so if you already know you like those, you're safe on either.

How long do they actually last?

The Yo is rated 18,000 puffs, the PoP 10,000. As with any big puff vape, nobody gets the sticker number — it depends entirely on how you draw. Slow, long pulls stretch these out; short sharp ones chew through them. For me, the Yo ran close to three weeks of fairly heavy use. The PoP managed a bit over a week and a half. So roughly one Yo equals two PoPs, which tracks with the ratings, and the Yo works out cheaper per day if you're a regular.

So which one should you buy?

Price-wise they're close: the WALA PoP 10000 sits around $69 and the WALA Yo 18000 around $72 on our site right now. Three dollars isn't a decision-maker. Your puffing habits are.

Still torn? Flick us a message on WhatsApp with how often you puff and which flavours you lean towards — I'd rather talk you into the right device than sell you the wrong one. Orders leave Sydney every business day, standard delivery runs 2–7 business days Australia-wide, and if you pick wrong anyway, that's what the 30-day return policy is for. Not bad for a three-dollar decision.
