Almost every disposable vape does the same three things: hold e-liquid, heat a coil, and make vapor. The RAMA TL16000 does something no other disposable in its class does - it connects to your smartphone over Bluetooth. From an app, you can dial the wattage, find the device if you lose it, and upload your own photos to its screen.
That is not a gimmick bolted onto a mediocre vape, either. Underneath the smart features sit a 15mL tank, 16,000 puffs, TRX Heat Tech dual mesh coils, and adjustable airflow. This RAMA TL16000 review covers the app in detail, the hardware, the flavors, and whether the whole package earns its $10.39 price.

The Bluetooth app - the standout feature
This is the reason the TL16000 exists. RAMA - a line built by YOVO - pairs the device with a companion smartphone app over Bluetooth, available for both iOS and Android, and it unlocks three things no ordinary disposable can do.
-
App feature 1Wattage control from your phone
The TL16000 is draw-activated with no buttons on the body - so the app becomes your control panel. You adjust the power output from your phone, dialing wattage up for warmer, denser vapor and a stronger throat hit, or down for a cooler, smoother draw that stretches the e-liquid further. It is a real performance dial, and it means you can change the character of the device without buying a different one.
-
App feature 2Find My Vape
Losing a vape is one of the most common and most annoying things that happens to vapers. Find My Vape works like the phone-finding tools you already know: opt in during setup, and the app can help you locate your device when it goes missing between couch cushions or car seats. It is a genuinely practical answer to a real problem, and no other disposable in this price range offers it.
-
App feature 3Custom screen with your own photos
The TL16000's dynamic color screen is not locked to factory graphics. Through the app, you upload your own images to use as the device wallpaper - a pet, a photo, whatever you want. It turns a disposable into something personal, which is a first for the category and the feature people notice immediately.
The app also gives you live data - puff count, battery level, and e-liquid remaining - so you always know exactly where the device stands rather than guessing.
Worth knowing: The smart features need a smartphone and the paired app to work. Without pairing, the TL16000 still functions perfectly as a normal disposable - draw-activated, screen on, airflow adjustable - you just lose wattage control, Find My Vape, and the custom wallpaper. The app is a bonus layer, not a requirement.
How to pair it with your phone
Setup is quick and uses a QR code included in the box. The process is essentially the same on iOS and Android:
-
1Download the app
Get the official RAMA companion app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). You can find the download links and setup guides on the official RAMA website. It is commonly listed as YARA Connect Pro.
-
2Find the instruction card
Inside the RAMA packaging is a card with a QR code. Keep it handy - you need it for the next step.
-
3Scan the QR code
Open the app, tap the scan icon at the top of the interface, and scan the QR code on the card. This starts the pairing.
-
4Take a puff, then pair
Draw on the device to wake it, then tap Pair in the app to finish. Once connected, wattage, Find My Vape, and screen customization unlock.
Follow the official instructions: App names and setup steps can change with updates, so always check the card that ships with your device or the official RAMA site for the current app and pairing guide. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone before you start.
The dynamic screen
Plenty of disposables now have a screen. Few have one this good. The TL16000's dynamic color display shows the essentials - puff count, battery level, e-liquid remaining, and your current wattage setting - in a sharp, modern interface, so you are never guessing about the state of your device.
What sets it apart is that it doubles as a canvas. Paired with the app, it displays your custom images and animations rather than a fixed factory graphic. Most disposable screens are purely functional; this one is functional and personal.
TRX Heat Tech dual mesh coil
The smart features would not matter much if the vape itself were mediocre - fortunately, it is not. The TL16000 runs RAMA's TRX Heat Tech dual mesh coil, which spreads heat evenly across two mesh layers rather than concentrating it in one spot.
The practical result is consistent flavor from the first puff to the last, denser vapor, and far fewer of the burnt or scorched hits that plague single-coil devices as they age. Combined with the app's wattage control, you get real influence over how rich or how smooth each draw is. To understand why mesh matters so much here, see our guide on mesh coil vs regular coil.
Adjustable airflow
An airflow control on the device lets you tune the draw itself. Close it down for a tighter, more restricted pull that feels closer to a cigarette, or open it up for an airier draw that produces bigger clouds. Paired with wattage control in the app, you have two independent levers - one for draw feel, one for power - which is far more customization than any standard disposable offers.
Dial it in: Tight airflow plus lower wattage gives a discreet, efficient vape that stretches the 15mL further. Open airflow plus higher wattage gives maximum flavor and clouds. If you are unsure which draw style suits you, our MTL vs DTL vaping guide explains the difference.
RAMA TL16000 flavors
RAMA offers 15 flavors, leaning fruit-forward with several ice and mint options. Here are the standouts:
- Blueberry Lemon - Juicy blueberry meets tangy lemon zest. Sweet and refreshing, like fresh lemonade on a summer afternoon.
- Peach Glacier - Ripe peach with a heavy icy finish. One of the most popular picks in the lineup.
- Sour Blue Razz - Tangy and sweet blue raspberry with a sour candy edge. Bold and exciting.
- Blueberry Mint - Lush blueberry paired with cooling mint for a crisp, invigorating twist.
- Strawberry Kiwi - Sweet strawberry balanced with tart kiwi. Smooth and easy all day.
- Tropical Island - A layered tropical blend that tastes like a fizzy drink by the beach.
- Icelandic Mint - A clean, cold mint for menthol purists.
Other options include Blueberry Peach Slushy, California Cherry, Grape, Raspberry Orange, Sour Watermelon Peach, Strawberry Banana, Strawberry Dragon Fruit, and Strawberry Watermelon. Browse more in the fruity flavors category.
Where to start: Peach Glacier or Blueberry Lemon are the safest first picks. Sour Blue Razz if you want something bolder, Icelandic Mint for straight menthol. Once you settle on a flavor, use the app's wattage control to fine-tune how intense it tastes.

- Full features need a smartphone and the app
- App setup is an extra step some won't bother with
- 850mAh battery is modest for a 15mL tank

Verdict
The RAMA TL16000 is the most interesting disposable in its price bracket, and the Bluetooth app is not a novelty - it is genuinely useful. Wattage control gives you a performance dial the device has no buttons for, Find My Vape fixes a problem every vaper has had, and the custom photo screen is the kind of personalization no other disposable offers. Underneath it all, the dual mesh coil and adjustable airflow mean the vaping itself is solid.
The trade-offs are fair. You need a smartphone to unlock the good stuff, and the 850mAh battery will need regular top-ups against a 15mL tank. But at $10.39, you are getting a legitimately smart device for the price of an ordinary one - and even unpaired, it works fine as a standard 16K disposable.
Start with Peach Glacier or Blueberry Lemon, then pair the app and dial in your wattage. Browse the full RAMA vapes lineup, explore more devices from YOVO, or compare options in the 12,000-20,000 puff range.
FAQ
Yes. It has Bluetooth connectivity and pairs with a companion smartphone app on iOS and Android. Through the app you can adjust wattage, use the Find My Vape locator, upload your own photos to the device screen, and monitor real-time data like puff count and battery level. It is one of the first disposables to offer this.
Download the companion app from the App Store or Google Play - links and setup guides are on the official RAMA site. Then find the instruction card included in the packaging, open the app, tap the scan icon, and scan the QR code on that card. Take a puff from the device to wake it, then tap Pair in the app.
Up to 16,000 puffs from its 15mL tank. Actual lifespan depends on puff length, your airflow and wattage settings, and how often you vape - higher wattage and open airflow use more e-liquid per puff. The 850mAh USB-C rechargeable battery lets you use the full tank.
Find My Vape is an app feature that helps you locate your device if you misplace it, similar to phone-finding tools. You opt into it during setup, and the app can then show your vape's location. It addresses one of the most common frustrations with disposables - losing track of a device you paid for.
Yes. Unpaired, it works as a normal draw-activated disposable - the screen, airflow control, and coil all function as usual. You simply lose the app-only features: wattage control, Find My Vape, and the custom photo wallpaper. The app adds a layer rather than being required.
The RAMA line is made by YOVO, the manufacturer behind the TL16000 and its Bluetooth app platform. RAMA is their smart-vape line, built around app connectivity, the TRX Heat Tech dual mesh coil, and the dynamic customizable screen.
