As an open-system e-cigarette, JNR Whale adopts a 2+20 ml replaceable and refillable configuration, with the manufacturer claiming support for up to approximately 38,000 puffs. The nicotine concentration is 2%.

The product offers 10 flavor options and is equipped with a 1000 mAh built-in battery supporting Type-C charging. The atomization system features a dual mesh coil, with Turbo and Soft power modes available. In addition, the device includes a transparent e-liquid reservoir, allowing users to easily monitor remaining liquid levels.

 

In terms of product form factor, JNR Whale adopts a magnetic structural design, with the battery partially enclosing the pod. This design approach is similar to the “semi-embedded” structure used in the recently launched OXBAR MAGLINK. The battery module includes a display screen capable of showing device status and battery level, along with UI animation elements such as rockets and moons.

Unlike conventional open-system e-cigarettes, the JNR Whale kit includes two 10 ml e-liquid bottles for use with the device. The device adopts a side-fill design, with the filling port located at the magnetic connection area between the pod and the battery.
