Shopping for a vape that actually lasts? The Aura Bar 10K and the Vaporesso Dojo Blast 10K are two devices that have been turning heads lately, and for good reason. Both sit in the 10,000 puff bracket, both are TPD-compliant for UK use, and both are priced to compete. But spend a bit of time with each one and you'll quickly notice they're built with very different vapers in mind.

What Is the Aura Bar 10K?

Aura Bar 10K has been around long enough to know what the everyday vaper actually wants. It comes pre-filled, draw-activated, and ready to go straight out of the box. No settings, no learning curve. The 650mAh battery keeps things ticking through the day, charging back up via Type-C, and the mesh coil sits between 1.0 and 1.2Ω depending on the variant. Flavour holds up well throughout use, with no noticeable drop-off as the pod gets low.

With more than 24 flavours on offer and 20mg nicotine salt inside each one, is the Aura Bar 10K a solid everyday carry? For most people, yes. It fits the pocket, it behaves itself, and it rarely gives you grief.

What Is the Dojo Blast 10K?

Vaporesso took a more engineered approach with the Dojo Blast 10K. Rather than a straightforward prefilled pod, it runs on a two-part system where an 8ml refill container feeds into a 2ml pod automatically. The result is 10ml of e-liquid total, with none of the manual topping up. The Corex 2.0 mesh coil inside uses Morph-Mesh heating and Cumulus Cotton wicking, and Vaporesso claims it outlasts standard coils by a meaningful margin.

The battery is a step up too, sitting at 1000mAh and fully charged in around 45 to 60 minutes via USB-C. Does the Dojo Blast 10K justify the slightly more involved setup compared to something like the Aura Bar? For daily heavy vapers, the answer is probably yes.

Side by Side

Nicotine strength is the same across both at 20mg. Both are draw-activated and leak-resistant. Where things split is battery size, coil tech, and flavour count. It is important to understand that The Dojo Blast 10K pulls ahead on hardware. In addition to this, Aura Bar 10K offers a bigger flavour selection and a more familiar, no-fuss format. Pricing is close too, with the Aura Bar ranging from around £8 to £10 and the Dojo Blast sitting between £6.99 and £8.99 at most UK retailers.

The Final Thought

There is no universal answer here, and that is kind of the point. Someone who switches flavours often and wants the simplest possible experience will find the Aura Bar 10K hits the mark. Someone who vapes heavily throughout the day and wants hardware that keeps pace will likely get more out of the Dojo Blast 10K. Head over to Vapesquard.co.uk and both are sitting there ready to order, so the decision really just comes down to what kind of vaper you are.
