By Robson Owner, Robson Smoke Shop Vancouver. 15 years in the Vancouver vape industry.
People come into our Robson Street and Commercial Drive stores asking for the G32 by name more than almost any other disposable we carry. They don’t say “ABT hybrid” or “G Prime.” They walk in and say “you got the G32?” That tells you everything about how this device has landed with Canadian vapers.
After 15 years selling vapes across four Vancouver locations, I’ve seen a lot of devices come and go. The G32 stuck around. This review breaks down exactly why the specs, the power modes, the flavours worth buying, and the ones to skip so you know exactly what you’re getting before you spend $38.99.
What Is the ABT G32 Vape – and Why Is It Called Two Different Names?
The ABT G Prime G32 is a rechargeable high-capacity disposable vape that delivers up to 32,000 puffs with six adjustable power settings, a dual mesh coil, and 20mg hybrid nicotine. It’s one of the most feature-rich disposables available in Canada at this price point.
The naming confusion comes from a rebrand. The device was originally released under the G Prime Hybrid brand which is why Canadians still search for “G32 vape,” “g prime g32,” and “gprime g32” and has since been rebranded to ABT (ABT Hybrid). The device itself is identical. If you’ve seen it under either name, you’re looking at the same product.
At $38.99 it sits in the mid-range of the high-capacity disposable market more expensive than budget options, but significantly cheaper per puff than replacing smaller devices every week.
ABT G32 Specs – What You Actually Get for $38.99
Here’s everything in the box, no padding:
- Up to 32,000 puffs
- 900mAh rechargeable battery
- USB-C fast charging
- Dual mesh coil
- Six power modes: 12W, 14W, 16W, 24W, 26W, 28W
- Adjustable airflow
- Digital display live battery percentage + current wattage
- 20mg/mL hybrid nicotine (salt + freebase blend)
- Health Canada TVPA compliant
- 25+ flavours
The dual mesh coil and adjustable airflow are what separate the G32 from most competitors in this price range. Most disposables give you one fixed output. The G32 lets you run it like a proper device dial it in how you want, and the flavour holds up across the full 32,000 puffs because of the dual mesh heating.
How Many Puffs Does a G32 Have – and How Long Will It Actually Last?
The ABT G32 delivers up to 32,000 puffs in Low mode at 12W to 14W. That’s the manufacturer ceiling under ideal conditions consistent draws, low power, no extended sessions.
In real-world use, here’s what to expect:
At 150 puffs per day in Low mode one device lasts roughly 7 weeks. At 200 puffs per day in Mid mode expect 4 to 5 weeks. And At 250+ puffs per day in High mode 3 to 4 weeks of heavy use.
The digital display shows battery level and e-liquid status in real time, which is genuinely useful. You don’t have to guess or wait for the flavour to drop off the screen tells you what’s happening inside the device.
For the average Vancouver customer buying their first G32: Low mode for daily use, switch to Mid or High for evenings or when you want more from a session. That approach gets you the most out of the 32,000 puff ceiling without burning through it in two weeks.
G32 Power Modes Explained – Which Setting Should You Use?
This is where the G32 earns its reputation. Six wattage settings across three tiers give you real control over your experience.
Low Mode: 12W and 14W Smooth, consistent, efficient. This is the setting for all-day vaping the flavour is clean and the device lasts longest at this output. Mouth-to-lung (MTL) vapers who want a tight, cigarette-like draw will be most comfortable here. If you’re switching from cigarettes, start at 12W.
Mid Mode: 16W and 24W The most popular range among our regulars. At 16W to 24W you get noticeably denser vapour and stronger flavour expression without hammering your battery or e-liquid reserves. Restricted direct lung (RDL) vapers land here naturally. This is where most of the G32’s flavour profiles really open up.
High Mode: 26W and 28W Full power. Dense clouds, intense flavour, strong throat hit from the hybrid nicotine. This is the G32 performing at its ceiling use it for sessions when you want the most from the device, not as your everyday setting. At 28W the e-liquid consumption is noticeably faster, so use High mode intentionally.
To change modes: press the power button three times quickly. The display updates instantly to show your current wattage.
How to Unlock a G32 Vape – Step by Step
One of the most searched questions about the G32 is how to unlock it and it’s worth covering properly because it causes a lot of frustration for first-time users.
The G32 ships with a safety lock enabled. This is standard across adjustable vapes and prevents the device from firing accidentally in a bag or pocket. Here’s the exact unlock sequence:
Step 1: Pick up the device and locate the power button on the front face. Step 2: Press the power button five times quickly all five clicks within approximately two seconds. Last Step 3: The display will flash to confirm the device is unlocked. It’s ready to use.
To lock it again, press five times. Same sequence, toggles back and forth.
If five clicks don’t unlock it:
- Press faster the five clicks need to happen in under 2 seconds
- Check the battery level on the display a dead battery won’t respond to unlock attempts. Charge for 15 minutes via USB-C first.
- Try a different USB-C cable if the device isn’t charging
The G32 is not a draw-activated device. It has a button. Hold the button while inhaling don’t just drag on it and expect it to fire.
Best ABT G32 Flavours – Honest Rankings From 15 Years Behind the Counter
After watching what customers come back for and what stays on the shelf, here’s my honest ranking of the G32 flavours available at Robson Smoke Shop.
Top 3 – Buy These First
Watermelon Ice – the best-selling G32 flavour we carry. It’s fresh, clean, not too sweet, and the ice finish is balanced rather than aggressive. Works at every power mode. If you’ve never tried a G32, this is where to start.
Grape Ice – bold grape with a frosty exhale. At Mid mode (16W–24W) the grape flavour expression is genuinely impressive for a disposable. One of the most consistent performers in the lineup.
Dragonfruit Strawberry Ice – for people who want something tropical without going full candy-sweet. The dragonfruit adds a subtle exotic edge that most fruit ice flavours don’t have.
Strong Picks
Raspberry Watermelon Ice – sweet-tart balance with smooth cooling. Close to the top three, regularly requested by name.
Peach Mango Ice – a classic combination done well. The mango comes through clearly rather than getting buried by the peach.
Super Sour – not for everyone, but people who want it specifically love it. Pure sour hit, no fruit sweetness masking it. Unlike anything else in the G32 range.
Menthol Smokers
Mint – the closest thing in the G32 lineup to a traditional menthol cigarette. Clean, pure cooling, no sweetness. Consistently the top pick for customers switching from menthol cigarettes.
Skip Unless You Know You Like It
Super Classic – a tobacco-adjacent profile. Not bad, but the G32’s strength is fruit and ice. If you want tobacco flavour, a dedicated tobacco device does it better.
Is the ABT G32 Worth $38.99 in Canada?
Here’s the honest answer. At $38.99 the G32 is not the cheapest high-capacity disposable on the market. The Fog Formulas Pro X delivers 50,000 puffs at $35.99 more puffs, lower price, strong flavour. If raw puff count per dollar is your only metric, the Pro X wins.
What the G32 offers that the Pro X doesn’t is control. Six power modes versus two. Adjustable airflow versus fixed. The ability to run it MTL or RDL depending on what you want from a session. For vapers who care about customizing their experience not just getting puffs the G32 is worth the extra few dollars.
For customers switching from cigarettes: the G32 at Low mode with the Mint or Watermelon Ice flavour is one of the most cigarette-like experiences available in a Canadian disposable right now. The hybrid nicotine hits differently from pure salt nic devices there’s a throat presence that salt-only devices often miss.
Our verdict: if you vape casually and want maximum puffs for minimum cost, the Fog Pro X is the smarter buy. If you care about the experience the ability to dial in your wattage, switch between MTL and RDL, and get consistent flavour from the first puff to the 32,000th the G32 is the better device.
